Czernowitzers… this from yesterdays mail from a newly minted list member. Perhaps you have suggestions for her research:
MAIL FORWARDED TO CZERNOWITZ-L MAILING LIST OWNER
Dear Sir or Madam,
Thank you for adding me to your list. I was asked to send a bit of info about myself and background that is pertinent so I have written the following:
Let me introduce myself, I am a 63 year old dual citizen, i.e., Canadian and US who is a retired occasional French teacher, wife and mother. My husband and I live in a north-central city surrounded by many beautiful lakes, rivers and forests!
My maternal great-grandparents, Ferdinand Bednarski and his wife, Paulina Konet (Kmiec vel Chmed), emmigrated to Manitoba, Canada from western Ukraine with 5 of their six daughters. By 1921 they had all finally immigrated to Canada , with the father coming first with one older daughter in 1911. Before they came to Canada they lived and worked in Czernowitz in the part of it my great-grandfather recorded as being, Alt’ Zucka. It was also recorded in another document as, ’Stara Zuchka’. From what I have determined comparing this latter place’s co-ordinates on Jewish Gazetter from the town finder of www.jewishgen.org with the present day city of Chernivsti, it was located just north-east of the Cernauti bazar grounds, north of the Prut River.
The daughter who stayed in Czernowitz as she was married already was Hannah Bednarski who married a man with the surname, Czepil. But I never learned his first name unfortunately.
I also had maternal great-grandparents who came from western Ukraine near the same city but a bit further west in Bukovina. His name was Wasyl Soltys and his wife was Aksana Toporowycz and they lived in Bedrykowce, Zaleszczyki, Galicia, Austria.
Well, that’s the background of my maternal ancestors that I know about and how they related to the area of Czernowitz.
