Postal Code for Village Head/Holova Sela , Vasilevka

[rolldr]

Looking for postal code for Village Head of Vasilevka (formerly Wilhelmstal) located abt 60 mi NE of Odessa on the Black Sea. It is situated just south of Krasna, where the Salik (or Cocuk?) valley or stream enters the estuary to the Black Sea. My gr-grandfather lived there just before he emigrated in 1910. Thanks.

Further to my above message, the village of Vasilevka is in present day Mykolaiv Oblast. I am also interested in obtaining any present day photos of this village and area.

To this day there is a Wilhemstal in Namibia, Africa.

Most of these were Russian German immigrants.

Looks like your selo/village Vasylivka is in Berezanskij Raion/District. I used Krasno to pinpoint ancestral Wilhemstal/Vasilevka/Vasylivka.

Address to village Mayor:

Holovi Silskoji Rady
selo Vasylivka

Let us know how you make out.

Dennis,

We have many lurkers, who might find these links interesting.

Wilhelstal (Vasylivka) was also called Neu Guldendorf, hamlet about 60 mi NE of Odessa on Black Sea, in what was known as the BERESAN ENCLAVE, in specifically the Grossliebenthal District.
