Dear Susan, Welcome to our List. As I've already mentioned, you've come to the right place. I'll just pick up two points from your message to illustrate that there is certainly still a lot for you to discover.
You wrote: “His mother was Rosa Trichter Brambier, born in Czernovitz 14 Feb. 1871. She had two sisters and a brother. Her mother died when she was young, leaving Rosa to care for her younger siblings and her father who was a tailor. His name may have been Feibisch Brambier. He was found murdered in a park, the victim of a robbery. Her mother's name may have been Chane Basie Trichter.” 1. You are perfectly right and Rose's father was definitely the tailor [junk dealer] Feiwisch Brambir (in this spelling) and her mother Chane Baßie daughter of Moses Trichter. I have looked up the birth registration for Rose for you here: https://1drv.ms/i/c/68987ecbe0f5aafc/EQNrhdrASwNGpFww3Jmkq48BjH7A9AvULZtjFEnYv_v5cg?e=eRp3QG By unsing GeneaSearch in combination with FamilySearch, you will discover more children of Feiw(b)isch and Chane, most probably more than you know so far. It's definitely worth checking every single entry in detail. https://geneasearch.net/index.php https://www.familysearch.org/search/catalog/1378569 2 ANNO and DiFMOE are two online newspaper archives that can be extremely helpful in your research. For example, if you enter “feibisch brambier” into the ANNO search, you will find at least five articles for the years 1901-1903 that deal with the “Feibisch Brambier” criminal case, from the missing persons report, to the murder, to the conviction of the murderer Joseph Luzensky. Originally sentenced to death by hanging, the sentence was subsequently commuted to twenty years' hard labor, to be served in Lviv prison. https://anno.onb.ac.at/anno-suche/complex?dateMode=period&from=1 https://www.difmoe.eu Have I been able to spur your inquiring mind even further, dear Susan? I hope so, and in conclusion I refer you to the standard page so meticulously compiled by Bruce Reisch FOR EVERYONE concerned with genealogy and the history of Bukovina, i. e. "Jewish Bukovina: Sources for Genealogical and Family History Research": https://kehilalinks.jewishgen.org/sadgura/ReischToronto.html Warmest wishes and I wish you success with your research!

I am very eager to know more about my Czernowitz ancestors. My father, parents and siblings have all passed away. I have done as much research as I know how to do, but have reached a wall. My father, Rudolph Noachim Schrager, was born in Czernovitz on 28 Aug. 1900. His birth certificate states his name as Rudolf Medilenski. The family lived at 26 Bahnhofstrasse on the 3rd floor. His father was Abraham Moische Medilensky aka Moritz Avram Medilensky. He was born 16 Sept. 1868 in Bessarabia. I understand that his father owned a vineyard there. My grandfather was an opera singer in the Chernovitz Opera and was a cantor in the reform temple. His mother was Rosa Trichter Brambier, born in Czernovitz 14 Feb. 1871. She had two sisters and a brother. Her mother died when she was young, leaving Rosa to care for her younger siblings and her father who was a tailor. His name may have been Feibisch Brambier. He was found murdered in a park, the victim of a robbery. Her mother’s name may have been Chane Basie Trichter. My grandfather, known as Moritz Medilenski, had five brothers. The two elder brothers and his father were called Schrager and the two younger were called Medilenski. My father, Rudolf Schrager, wrote that when his father was ayoung man in Bessarabia, there was talk of war and that all young men were about to be inducted into the army. Not relishing Russian army life, they decided to move to Czernovitz. In order to cross the border, they needed certain papers. It happened that a family called Schrager, also in Bessarabia, who knew and liked his father, made the necessary papers available that had belonged to their dead son. Using the false papers, his father reached Czernovitz and decided to retain the name Schrager. When Moritz brought his wife and four daughters to the United States in 1912, they came as Abram M. Medilensky (Cantor), Rose (housewife), Bertha (millinary), Clara (schoolgirl) and Rudolf (schoolboy). For the rest of their lives, though, they all were called Schrager. Moritz became Morris A. Schrager and continued as a cantor. His brother, Herschel Meidilanski, lived at Strada Reg. Ferd 8, Cernauti. He was a watchmaker and was the cantor of the Orthodox temple. He had lived at Enserburger 41. Another brother, Leon Mediliansky was born in 1873 in Ungheni, Bessarabia. He came to the US in 1915. There was a third brother, Isaac. He may have been the one to move to Buenos Aires. I would love to know more about all of these people and their parents and grandparents, especially my grandmother and her family. We know nothing. Thank you so much.
