Iris...
Thank you for your great-grandfather's photo, which we have posted to our Ehpes Blog. Please check in addition the ANNO Austrian Newspapers database at:
http://anno.onb.ac.at/anno-suche#searchMode=simple&resultMode=list&from=1
By entering "Schmatnik" into the serach engine and restraining the search to Czernowitz, it will direct you to 15 entries, among them several for Joel Schmatnik, Josef Schmatnik and others. Please note that in Sadagora the so called „Schmatnik’sche Saal“ [Schmatnik’s Hall] served as an assembly room for people’s assemblies. Next step takes you to LIBRARIA Ukrainian Newspapers Online:
https://libraria.ua/index.php/lang/en
Again, entering "Schmatnik" into the serach engine leads you to 5 entries, among them J. Schmatnik and others. Third step takes you to the "Death Certificates Issued by the Czernowitz Jewish Hospital for the Year 1915" at
http://czernowitz.blogspot.de/2014/05/death-certificates-issued-by-czernowitz.html
where you are going to find Bertha Schmatnik, deceased in Czernowitz on May 20, 1915. Finally you are right, according to the "Street Nomenclature for the Municipality of Czernowitz for the Year 1936" at
http://czernowitz.blogspot.de/p/czernowitz-street.html
Senkowiczgasse during the Austrian period became General Zadik during the Romanian period, later vulytsia Vatutina (
https://goo.gl/BIUE8I) during the Ukrainian period and nowadays - unfortunately - vulytsia Stepana Bandery (!?). It is the connecting street between the
Temple:
https://goo.gl/Lb5noy
and
Elizabethplatz:

A lot of research actvities ahead, dear Iris. Enjoy the research and please share your results with all of us!

Subject: [Cz-L] General Zadik #4 (Joel Schmatnick Dry Goods) 1936
[Moderator's note: The photo that came with this message from Iris can be found on our blog:

In some terrific databases on the ehpes site I have found the 1936
address of my great-grandfather Joel (Ioil Ben Schmuel) Schmatnik's
shop. It was a "Galanterie" which translates to "Dry Goods" or
"Haberdasher". Joel was born around 1870 in Sadagora and died June 2,
1941. His kids were Max, Samuel (my grandfather), Sabine, Sigmund, and
five others. His brothers were Morris and Josef.
The 1936 address for the Schmatnick Dry Goods was General Zadik #4
(Romanian address). According to the street name table on Czernowitz
Blog, it seems that the old German street name was Senkowiczgasse, or
Senkoviczgasse.
On this full-color Cernauti map -
http://czernowitz.ehpes.com/czernowitz3/newmaps/Czernowitz-aa.jpg- I
see Senkowiczgasse running along one side of Elisabeth Platz, around
location G12, but I'm not certain I'm correct.
I would love some help if anyone is aware of this neighborhood, and
nearby attractions, so I can find some photos online and get a better
idea of how the neighborhood looked for my blog.
The shop looks to be near Elisabeth Platz?
