Where to Look? Family left Boryslav in 1900

[IreneLviv]

Hannia, have you checked JewishGen? It will show a list of records and archives where they are kept.

Thank you, but I prefer R2R. I find it more up to date

My problem right now is time more than anything else.

The census records show Elias as a Fruit Peddler

Sons:
Isaac (yr of birth 1875) was a Tailor
Israel (1878) was a Plumber
David (1893) & Emanuel (1886) were both in school

This is an exc detailed description of Boryslaw in GGrandfather's time frame. If you haven't read this, make sure to do so. The pix are fascinating.

Wow. Fantastic. Thank you.

Elias was a fruit peddler. Couldn't be more different than official family mythology.

I have seen that website. Nicely put together. And there are even some fellow-Kamermans on the site, although none (yet) recognizable. But the search has just begun . . .

If I may ask, what is the most effective way of approaching the various archives?
