Hi all!
I joined the list in September and responded to a few chats, but
forgot to formally introduce myself. One set of my maternal
great-grandparents hail from the Chernivtsi region. I would be
interested to learn if any of you are related to or know of these
individuals or their families. The relevant family names are
BINDERER/BINDER, ALPERN/HALPERN, ECKSTEIN, MAYER, KILIMNIK, WEIDBERG,
and REISCH. Forgive me for the long paragraphs below! Hopefully the
capitalized names will help you skim!
My great-grandmother was Amalie "Mollie" BINDERER (sometimes shortened
to BINDER), born in Czernowitz on 25 July 1901 to Seinwel BINDERER, a
baker, and Neche ECKSTEIN. The family lived at 41 Ion Creanga (aka
Springbrunnengasse); perhaps some of your ancestors were the neighbors
of mine! Seinwel's parents were Etie Beile BINDERER and Israel Maier
ALPERN. Neche's were Schaje MAYER and Bassie ECKSTEIN. Amalie's
brother Karl BINDER married Yetti WEIDBERG, daughter of Czernowitzers
Menachem WEIDBERG and Chave ASHKENAZIE, in Czernowitz in 1935, and her
sister Berta BINDER married Moise REISCH in Czernowitz in 1934. Amalie
emigrated to the United States, while her brother and sister survived
Auschwitz and settled in Israel after the Second World War. I have
identified several of Amalie's aunts and uncles (Ruchel, Hazel,
Noach/Nathan, and David Bar/Bernard/Benjamin ALPERN) and would be
interested in contacting any of their descendants.
Amalie's husband was Isile KILIMNIK, born in Sokiryany, near
Czernowitz, on 10 Oct 1892. His parents were David and Frimeh
KILIMNIK, and his brother and sister were Yoine and Matel,
respectively. Isile and Yoine both made their way to the United
States, and have many descendants whom I know of. However, aside from
their gravestone inscriptions indicating their father as David and two
1919 letters from Frimeh and Matel, I have no records or knowledge of
David, Frimeh, and Matel. The only vital record source for Sokyryany
that I am aware of are the 1918, 1924, and 1940 Lists of Jews with
Romanian Citizenship, as documented on the Routes to Roots website. I
am especially eager to learn if any of you have connections to
Sokyryany or know of any primary sources from that area.
Many thanks for taking the time to read this. I'm looking forward to
hopefully speaking with some of you!
Gratefully,
