Seeking for Hannia`s advice 18 July 2010 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dear Hannia,
I have accidentely found this Ukrainian forum and you in it and just registered.
I highly appreciate your vast knowledge and elaborated replies.
I live in Israel and would highly appreciate your advice in a close and personal matter I am in to these days, of course Genealogy related, my Grandparents, origin: Poland, Ukrain, Belaruss.
If possible, I`ll be more than happy to have your kind advice.
If there is a way to personaly correspond with you please advice-I am new to this site and not familiar with it.

Warm regards,
Sea

Sea,

No, I have not forgotten.

Sorry that it has taken so long, but I have looked high and low for Jewish metrykal data for Kamien Koszyrski district. I have found nothing that would be of value to you. I know that Basia is also working in the same area and is also keeping a look out for you. This was a tragic district. During the Nazi occupation all but 100+ Jews survived. Records may have been destroyed at the same time???

There is a possibility that the census records in Zhytomir (one time regional capital of Vohlynia) may be helpful. Problem is that they are not available online. I have sent e-mails out trying to find a researcher specializing in Jewish genealogy.
During the summer it is difficult, because most native researchers are busy accompanying disapora tourists researching their families. As soon as I hear back from anyone of them, I will pass the information on to you.

Dear Hannia,

I would like to thank you for your kind efforts and express my appreciation.
Indeed it took a while but as I am not a real Genealogy researcher, I would not know how long it should have taken, so please excepte my apology if I was a bit impatient ;-)
I will address the person through the mail addresses you forwarded in your reply and hope for any lead.
Basia indeed as well is trying to assist me in the same issue and again, I do hope something will rise up, as I am trying to find any official documentation that show my grandparents and their ancecters were Polish citizens.
Be happy to be updated with every sgread of detail.
Many thanks Hannia.
Have a nice weekend.
Warm regards

Dear Hannia and Basia,

Do you have by any chance email contact details of Zhytomyr Archives.
Looking over your replies and advices, perhaps they may have some more information.
Appreciate your reply.

Thanks

The Jewish materials for Kamien Koszynrski in Zhytomir are in the form of census records. IT IS NOT METRYKAL DATA, so the research is complicated. That is why I suggest you wait for a native researcher, well versed in locating Jewish records.

Thanks a lot for the elaborated reply Hannia.
I`ll wait as you advice for a researcher.
Do you have any time estimation when such a researcher would be available? end of August? or later?
Thanks Hannia

Dear Hannia,

I was wondering if you may have any idea in how should I proceed my search.
I guess the Zhytomyr state archives are not so cooperative as I had expected.

Would appreciate any tip.

best reagrds,
