Czernowitzers... At the end of the year, I would like to point you to a most interesting source for your research. Antwerp in Belgium was the first stop for many people, including those from Bukowina, on their way to the West and overseas. The FelixArchief in Antwerp has over one million (!) dossiers from the aliens registration authorities, most of which have been digitized:
https://felixarchief.antwerpen.be After registration, you will have access to the fully scanned files and often to photos. Under the search term "Czernowitz", for example, you can find 186 files, from Joseph Aronowicz (*1873) to Joseph Zwetler (*1881). I was able to find documents about my family from Tarnobrzeg in Galicia in the FelixArchief, which brought to me 216 new relatives, most of them in the UK and USA, over the holidays; one of them is Alan Gavurin from our Group. Great, almost a (small) Christmas fairy tale! I wish you all a happy New Year, but first and foremost I wish for lasting peace for and in Israel!
