Dear Leonid, What you’ve written about the primary data from the censuses conducted for the CITY OF CZERNOWITZ during the Austrian period for the years 1869/70, 1880/81, and 1890/91 is most fascinating, and I congratulate you on your research findings. In 2013 and 2015, I took a closer look at this topic:
https://hauster.blogspot.com/2013/04/a-sunken-treasure-of-czernowitz.html https://hauster.blogspot.com/2015/01/a-journey-into-past-to-czernowitz.html At that time, we had tried to get the USHMM on board for a digitization project and were on site with representatives from FamilySearch. Unfortunately, the Czernowitz Regional Archives were not very cooperative (or rather, it was too expensive) at the time. The project stalled, and I’m amazed that you found the records on FamilySearch. Can you share the trace/link to the records with all of us? My wife Martina, who transcribed the entire “The Radautz Jewish Vital Records Database 1857–1929” [http://czernowitz.blogspot.com/2016/12/the-radautz-vital-records-index.html], has a lot of experience with this, but unfortunately this task is beyond our capabilities. How do you plan to proceed? I’m sure I’m not the only one eagerly awaiting your answers. Warmest wishes!

Hi Benjamin, Thank you — what a coincidence indeed. The census books are the house-by-house returns of 1869, 1880 and 1890 from the Chernivtsi State Archive (fond 39, opys 3); they can be browsed as image groups in the FamilySearch catalogue under Chernivtsi. I'll write to you off-list with the details, and about the names you mentioned.
