Found some stones that had slid down the hill but nothing of my family. Across the river from this town a city known as the Jewish City. All wiped out by local Russians in battles and later by the killing camp located in what is now known as Transnistria. paul retishpaul retishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02179775576472997177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21879466.post-9680641085820704842009-04-24T09:07:00.000-04:002009-04-24T09:07:00.000-04:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21879466.post-81984489703477817592009-03-11T04:24:00.000-04:002009-03-11T04:24:00.000-04:00Bob, I've met both Jewish and non-Jewish Oneshansk...Bob, I've met both Jewish and non-Jewish Oneshansky and Oleshansky whose origins are from the Ukraine.

There were 3 lipovan churches, 1 Catholic, 28 synagogues & 20 Jewish prayer houses (it is unlikely that any were Sefardi* or Romaniote, and not too many native Rumanian Ashkenazi either).

Try http://orhei.dnt.md .<BR/><BR/>Now, moving to Oniţcani and Onitskansky, it may not be such an Ashkenazic name... In any case, I found an Elina Onitskansky on the web. a relative from the Kingdom of Oniţcani, I presume... ;-) You'll find her at both linkedin.com and facebook.com . BTW, if we stretch it a little, maybe even the name Onciul (as in the politician of the Austrian Bukovina, Aurel, or the historian, Dimitrie -- a relative of my highschool 'benchmate', Mihai Onciul) comes from around Onitcani... ;-)<BR/><BR/>As for the article "The Jews of Moldavia at the Beginning of the Eighteenth Century" by E. Schwarzfeld, I would like to get the whole article if possible. And... just think, Schwarzfeld must be a cousin...<BR/><BR/>Alin Sebastianrumsefardihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11375594323349518909noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21879466.post-26711432215675924002008-12-18T01:03:00.000-05:002008-12-18T01:03:00.000-05:00Amazing.
