Dear list members, I am researching my grandmother's family, KLURSTEIN (Klorstein) and SADOVNIK (Sadovnic) of Noua Sulița / Novoselytsia (Khotin uyezd, Bessarabia), just across the border from Czernowitz.
The National Archives Agency of Moldova replied that they do not carry out genealogical research, and that research can only be done in person in their reading room in Chișinău. They also wrote that Khotin uyezd records are not held in Moldova but in Ukraine, although the JewishGen Bessarabia birth index (where I found my great-grandmother's 1893 birth) is, as far as I know, based on the Jewish metrical books of fond 211 in Chișinău. So I have two questions: 1. Can anyone recommend a reliable researcher in Chișinău (or in Chernivtsi) who could look at the original records for me, for a fee? And if anyone on the list is already planning a visit to the archives there, I would be very grateful if they could take a look while they are there. 2. Does anyone know where the Jewish metrical books of Noua Sulița for the 1870s–1900s actually are today: in the National Archives of Moldova (fond 211), in the Chernivtsi Oblast Archive, or both? The records I am looking for: - Birth of Ghinda (Hinde, later Ana) SADOVNIC, born 27.11.1893 in Noua Sulița, daughter of Nukhim Sadovnik and Ides (née Blank). JewishGen Bessarabia Births 1893, record no. 245. - Births of her siblings: Faivel (1887), Sliomo-Zelman (1888), Sura (1896), Chaim (1898) and Sheyva. - Marriage of Nukhim SADOVNIK and Ides BLANK (probably 1880s). - Birth of Hersch (Ber, Beri) KLURSTEIN / KLORSTEIN, born around 1890 in Noua Sulița, son of Yona (Iona) Klurstein. Hersch died in the Mogilev-Podolsky ghetto in 1943; his grave there reads «Beri Klorstein, N. Sulita». - Marriage of Hersch Klurstein and Ghinda Sadovnik (probably 1920s). - Any record of Yona / Yoyna KLURSTEIN (FamilySearch film 2382387 seems to have a "Yoyna Klurenteyn"). Any advice or contacts would be greatly appreciated. Thank you very much, Leon Sacks Santiago, Chile [email protected] Leon Sacks.
