Our own name - ROM-SIG NEWS -- came in for some comments recently.
Some thought our newsletter shouldbe changed to something moresynonymous with
Romania, like the old Yiddish favorite of a past generation,Rumania! Rumania!. More
than one member, but especially one from England, told us that the song has no mean
ingfor him or her,neverhaving beenbroughtup withit. Still others toldus, "If it ain't
broke, don't fix it." So the name stays the same.
Butwe have changedthe layout of the cover pageslightly to emphasize the fact
that we aregenealogists seeking informationabout our Jewish Romanian ancestors.
We also made the pages ofAtlanta's JGS journal, Yichus, Tall, thanks to member
Col. Irving Schoenberg. In the publication he wrote "ifyou're looking for connections
to relatives who areliving, or lived, or who emigrated from Romania or Bessarabia, let
me recommend to you the bestsource of information thatI have discovered." A few
dayslaterwe had received at least one new member from the Atlantaarea. Thanks, Irv.

In order to conduct genealogical researches concerning the
Jews of Transylvania we consider it useful, as a first step, to re

well as its juridic-constitutional status, and to survey the demo

A follow-up on fag/ documents: Hunaaroaens research Romania
Films to be translated; Bukovina trip planned
According to the latest word from Paul Pascal, he now has
possession of the microfilms he ordered this past summer from
the Iasi central archives. They cover the index to the Sudit census
of 1824-25, covering all of Moldavia and the complete census of
TirguOcna and MoinestL,where Pascal's grandparents are from.
A preliminary look shows that much of it is written in Sla
vonic letters, however in the Romanian language. The index por
tion is written in Latin letters. At least one ROM-SIG member
has volunteered to help with the translation.
On another note, correspondence was received from a
Hungarian genealogical research firm that has agents working in
Romania. Hungarogens, claims to have "a very well-known Jew
ish scientist among our members, who is a specialist in Jewish ge
nealogy and history, being the leader of the Jewish archives and
professor at the university." (ED.NOTE: couldthis beProf Gye
mant in Cluj?)
In addition, say the Hungarogens, "we have a partner in Ro
mania, another Jewish historian and academician."
They say their rates average vary between $300-$600 de
pending upon circumstances. Our members should contact them
directlyat the following address:

Another note of interest comes from Phyllis Simon who is
bellwethering a two week archival trip to Western Ukraine and
Poland in the beginning ofAugust 1995.
Larry Krupnak, a tour operator and member of the Gahcia
special interest group, suggests they fly into Kiev then travel
west, visiting towns, cities and other sites along the way. The
Western Ukraine portion would end in Warsaw.
Much of the trip will cover the Bukovina area of former Ro

Tel Aviv University. Institute for Diaspora Research
I called Dr. Yoel Raba, the contact for the Bessarabian Ar
chives, following the information in the Sallyann Sack book. We
set up a time to meet in his office. The building is easy to find. It
sits off to the left side, next door to the Diaspora Museum.
Dr. Raba's office is a small, cluttered university office, and
the archives are stored somewhere else. It takes time to retrieve
them and make them available to a researcher. He patiently ex
plained in detail about the holdings of the archives, its collection
of documents all relating in some way to Bessarabia Jewry. They
are not indexed by names or even by towns. Most material
would be relevant only to a genealogist who knows about the dai
ly fife ofhis or her ancestors and what organizations or endeavors
they were involved in.
The collection I was most interested in was the meeting min
utes of the Jewish Colonization Association in Bessarabia. My
family had been actively engaged with the JCA. By the time I
had heard a complete description of the holdings ofthe archives,
two hours had gone by and I was out oftime. As a final note, Dr.
Raba mentioned to me that many ofthe JCA files I was interested
in were in French. Here I am in IsraeL fluent in Hebrew, access
er so a visitor can
access the holdings.

through a librarian.
In this case I didn't wait long to learn that there was very little
about BessarabianJewry in the library. One or two books maybe.
I then used a tactic I find very useful in situations like this when I
am certain that with a little effort better results might be achieved
I told him that I had come "all the way from Washington, D.C., to
do this research."
Immediatelyhis tone changed and he became interested. It
turns out his mother lives in Bethesda, not tar from my home and
I offered to call hex for him. He then disappeared into the stacks
and emrged with the golden find of my trip, the book on Lambravka. My uncle was the founder of this town; his name is
prominently featured throughout the book. On the library's copy
ing machine I photocopied the entire book for about a penny a
page.
Yad Vashem
At Yad Vashem I had a generally disappointing experience.
In the Hall of Names there was no access to a list, only the clerk
could check to see ifyour family had deposited Pages ofTestimo
ny. Once again the clerk was less than interested in helping. I
was interested in any testimony from the town of Dombraven.
There does not seem to be a geographical cross reference between
names ofpeople and names oftowns.
Next I visited the library where there were a few books on
Bessarabia that I was interested in seeing. The librarian was very

BESSARABIAN RESEARCH IN ISRAEL
Continuedfront previous page
I
busy and I had to askrepeatedly for help (the bookI wanted was
not inthe openstacks). I finally secured the book I was interested
in, The History of the Murder of the Jews of Bessarabia by
Theodore Lavie (call#59-1825). The book has almost no mention
of individual's names, but does tell a graphic story ofthe destruc
tion of communities.
In the hall I was talkingwith another librarian askingif any
one on the staff was a specialistin Bessarabian Jewry. She didn't
seem to know, but someone else overheard my question and
stopped to chat. He said he knew someone who was researching
Bessarabian cemeteries and he soon returned with an older gen
tlemanwho was a recent immigrant from the area once known as
Bessarabia. He was involved in documenting the history of Jews
in thearea, possessed a great number of vital records and original
documents, and had other infonnation he collected on his fre
quent trips.
He told me that most of his infonnation was at home and he
would gladly lookforme if I couldgive him somespecific names,
years andtypesof documents I mightbe interested in. I gave him
some infonnation and we parted, he with my phone and beeper
number and I with his address and phone number.
He laterphoned, but I wasunavailable, being responsible for
a large group of tourists (part of my job) andI didn't have an op
portunity to get back to him. A year has gone by and I have just
recently written him an extensive letter, requesting someinfonna
tion and mquiring about his willingness to do research for us. I
will keepyou informed as to the progress of this request.
Meeting with relatives
By far the most interesting experience was meeting foursets
of cousins that I had discovered just a year earlier. They wel
comedme with open arms and spent an entire eveningtelling sto
ries about their ancestral town of Dorohoi. They gave me a copy
of one of the three volumes of the Dorohoi remembrance book.
(EDITOR'S NOTE: An index of names from the region, taken
from the Dorohoi book, appeared in ROM-SIG NEWS, Vol. 3,
No. 1, Fall 1993.)
While I was expecting to find more in the way of formal
documents, I had quite a satisfying trip. I learned some very
valuable lessons. First, I learned to use every opportunity to tell
people what I am doing. Israel is a very small country. Many
people know oneanother and this canleadto new finds. Also Is
raelis frequently get involved in conversations with strangers (like
my experience at Yad Vashem). One must be prepared to take
advantage of these opportunities.
Also, I would go better prepared. For the next trip, I will
photocopy all of the relevant articles describing research in Israel.
I found my notes and my memory werejust not enough to direct
me to what I was looking for.

HIAS needs help in trying to locate
descendants of Romanians
Since the late 1800s, hundreds of thousands of Jews have
left their home and loved ones to find freedom in America, an ex
odus that has caused many to lose touch with friends and family
members. Established during the early 1900s, HIAS, the Hebrew
Immigrant Aid Society, has helped reunite long-lost relatives and
friends. Today HIAS continues to receive and respond to
hundreds of requests from people around the world who seek

One of the best resources for research information is
AVOTAYNU, the InternationalReview ofJewish Genealogy.
Editors index all of the articles by subject. The last published
index of Avotaynu articles was in the Winter 1989 issue.
Recently I updated the index of articles on Romanian research
in Israel to include all issues since the last index.
Back issues of AVOTAYNU are available at $7.00 each
from \h& publisher at their new offices: 155 N. Washington

specifically relevant to Romanian research in Israel.

I had heard this story at least eight years ago and though I re
corded it I thought it an unlikely story.
Imagine my surprise this summer. While going through the
index to the photo archives at Beth Hatefutsoth Museum in Jeru
salem on Braila, when I found a listing for a picture of a "Lottery
Card" issued by the Jewish Sports Society and Loja Peijotto
Society, 1901.
While this was not our lottery ticket it did reinforce to me the
rule: Never discount folklore; there might be a seed oftruth to it!

UKRAINIAN BORDER GUARDS SNICKERED

AT AMERICAN PASSPORT, WRITES STATE DEPT.
I made my second trip to eastern Europe in June and tried to
get to Bustyna in western Ukraine but to no avail. We got a real
hassle at the border crossing. No explanation. I have since writ
ten to the Secretary of State since the border guards snickered at
our American passports. So far, I have not heard back from the
Secretary.

MAYBE THEY DID WIN THE ROMANIAN LOTTERY!
My husband's maternal great grandfather, LOUIS SAKTER,
was from Cotu Lung and Braila. The family began immigrating
to the U.S. in 1901.
As the story goes, my husband's great uncle and aunt, Isadore and Heide BERCOVICI, had won the lottery. They were
afraid the government would take this great sum of money from
them. So they quickly booked passage to America for themselves
and theirdaughter,Heide'sparents and severalbrothers.
were in the town of Teceul Mare which is now in the Ukraine. I
now have someone trying to secure any records but to date
haven't heard anything.
For now I think my trips to eastern Europe are over unless I
get some exceptional news that could warrant my going over.

GETTING INFORMATION FROM OTHERS CAN HELP
The only information I ever received re. Romania was l)from
Carol Clappsaddle in Israel who sent me a Chevra Kadisha list
dated, I believe, 1887, from Fogaras, Brasov County, Transylva
nia, which listed a couple of family members. She obtained it
from Central Archives, I believe, and mentioned having spoken
with elderly members of the Israeli Romanian community, who
now livein Israel, but originated in Fogaras.
We are no longer pursuing this research (husband's grandfa
ther roots) because we have become bogged down with having
found family in Bosnia-Herzogovenia (husband's grandmother's
family). My husband and I have been there twice (late '80s) and
my son once. While it has been an exciting find, we have now
become very involved with these eight families and their plight.

SCWARTZ - BRAVERMAN
My maternal grandparents came from the town of Botosani.
My mother's maiden name was Scwartz. Her father's name was
Nathan
Schwartz .
(1873-1926) and her !
:..'^W^M
After my youngest uncle emigratedto the U.S. he put adver
tisements in the Argentinian Jewish press in order to trace any
relatives there but was unsuccessful.
The exit document is the only hard piece of evidence I have.
Hopefully more will trickle in over time.
mother's name was
Celia Schwartz nee
TRANSLATION OF DOCUMENT
Braverman
This is an Identification Certificate, issued by police
station in the village of Botosani, released on 22 Jan.
1923. Romania at that time was a kingdom under
King Carol who was of Austo-Hungarian origin. Boto
sani is a part of Moldavia and this region at the time
was greatly inhabited by Greek and Jewish people.
(1876-1941). It has
been very hard to
pinpoint when they
arrived in England.
However I have the
marriage certificates
of my eldest aunts.
The oldest is now
dead and the other
is still alive, approx.
88 yrs. old and liv
ing in the U.S.
The eldest was
married in 1930,
aged 27, and the
younger was mar
ried in 1926, aged
20. There is no En-
glishbirth certificate
for either of them.
This
would
mean
that they didnt ar
rivein England until
approx.
1905-07.
The
first
of their
children bom in En
gland were two un
cles in
1908 and
1910respectively.

members
She re- \
as
a -
young child some relatives visiting from Argentina and hearing
that my eldest aunt was bom in Buenos Aires.
It would seem that my grandfather returned to Romania in
the early 1920s. I have an exit document dated 1923. Perhaps he
may have lost the original and returned to get a duplicate in order
to secureresidency in the UK? After he returned from Romania
two more children were bom. This made a total of seven chil
dren, three girls and four boys.
The named person in the document appears to be
Jewish and his name is pronounced Shfartz.
The
name of Start is a typical Jewish name but of German
origin. The Jewish people, by and large, were traders
and they use to have small shops where they would
sell almost anything - these small shops looked very
much like the one you can see in a sook anywhere in
the Middle East.

BUCHWALD
My Buchwald family originates from Bukovina. My greatgreat-grandfather, Benneth BUCHWALD (b. abt 1840) moved
from Bukovina to Turda, Kolosvar, Hungary (Turda, Cluj, Roma
nia) at a very young age. He married Ester SOLOMON and to
gether they had seven children.
Isaac Buchwald, my great-grandfather was bom in Turda in
1861 and attended rabbinical school in Vilna, Lithuania. He later
became a merchant, selling meals to the nearby towns and during
WWl to the rnilitary. He married Rochelle Schwartz who died in
1922before Isak immigrated to New York in. 1924.

The district or territoryofMaramures is northeast of
Satu Mare and not between Oradea andArad. The main
city in Maramures is Sighet, the home town ofEli Wiesel,
the Nobel Prize recipient.
Arad is in Transylvania, not in Banat.
For simplification, Moldova is a country, and Moldavia
is theprovince ofRomania. Since 100 C.E. the country
was in Dacia, the initialRomanian territory. In 1812
the Russian Empire took the territory between the
Dniester, Prut and Danube, known as Bessarabia. Until
then Bessarabia was part ofMoldova and not Moldavia,
the ancient Romanian principality. This territory came
back to Romania in 1918, but was retaken by Stalin in
1940 being divided between Ukraine and the Moldavian
Socialist Republic. After the crush ofthe Soviet Union,
it became Moldova.

RESEARCHING ROMANIA
We're stillgetting Mamaligarecipes.
Here's one Gary Frtleberg remembers from his grandmother
Regina "Ray" (nee Kastner) Hiflman. Bubbe Rae was from Radauti, Bukovina.
1 quart ofwater
1 tablespoon ofsalt
1 box ofyellow cornmeal
In a deep pot, bring water and salt to a fast boil. A handful at
a time, sift the cornmeal slowly into the boiling water, stirring
constantly with a large wooden spoon. Continue adding com
mealuntilyou get the desired thickness. Be careful when adding
the cornmealto lower the heat when it begins to boil again. There
is a tendency to boil up suddenly.
Continue to heat and stir until the mush is very smooth.
Cover the pot and let is cook slowly for 10 to 12 minutes or
longer.
Wet a long knife in cold water and cut around the sides ofthe
pot, loosening and pushing away the mush from the side. Turn
the pot over onto a wood cutting board. Then cut slices with a
white thread. Serve instead of bread with meat, stews, soup, etc.
