Hello,

How do you know that the village no longer exists, when you are not even sure of the name?

My guess is that the village you are searching for was Staraya U****sa>formerly in Podolia area.

USHETSE: (Russian) see variant Staraya U****sa
USHETSE PODOLYE: (Yiddish) see variant Staraya U****sa
U****SA: (German) see variant Staraya U****sa
U****SE: (Polish) see variant Staraya U****sa

Today the village is called Stara Ushytsya> Kamyanets-Podilskij Raion/District>Kmelnytska Oblast/Region>Ukraine, zip code 32385.

PS>See what you mean by disappearing. My apologies!!!

There is a town called Novaya U****sa. I send you a copy of the Simon Wiesentahl Center about it:
"A town in Chmielnicki (Kamenets - Podolski oblast till 1954), Ukrainian SSR The Jewish community in Novaya U****sa and its environs dates from the beginning of the 18th century. From 1838 to 1840, 80 Jews of the Novaya U****sa region, including rabbis and community leaders, were tried in what became known as the Oy****s Incident. They were accused by the governor of Kiev, General Gurayev, of the murder of two Jews who had informed on "absconders" to the authorities. Most of the accused were sentenced by a military court to flogging and exile to Siberia.
The 1847 census records 725 Jews living in Novaya U****sa, with 1,235 in the communities of the district. The Jewish population numbered 2,213 in 1897 (34.50f the total). After the Bolshevik Revolution and the civil war, their sources of livelihood were drastically curtailed. In 1926 there were 1,844 Jews in the town (28.420030054f the total). After the Holocaust the community ceased to exist."
The site where you can find it is:

I'm also looking for information about my grandfather, Abraham Tiffenberg, that as far as I know came to Argentina from that town.
