Directory for the Municipality of Czernowitz for the Year 1936 - Courtesy of the Czernowitz Regional Archives




In order to make the listing useful and searchable, please read the following carefully:
  • Surnames: The diversity of spelling for the names may cause difficulties, for example "Schwarzmann" could be listed as "Schwarzman" or "Svartman" or any other variation. Romanian diacritics have not been used, so please keep looking for different spellings.
  • Given names: The same problem applies to the given names, for example "Schloime" became "Sloime", "Elias" became "Ilie", "Mechel" became "Mihai", etc. Again, Romanian diacritics have not been used, so please keep looking for different spellings.
  • Occupations: JewishGen generously released the listing "Romanian Occupation Definitions - English Translations", which we have made available for download (see below). JewishGen notes "Some of these [occupation definitions] are archaic or obscure terms, no longer current. Romanian diacritics have not been used. Please note that the Romanian terms have been entered exactly as the clerks wrote them in [1936]. They are therefore subject to any mis-spellings, etc., that they might have used at that time…".

  • Streets: This column differentiates between (ro./en./ger.) cale = avenue = Chaussee, drum = way = Weg, fundatura = dead end street = Sackgasse, piata = place = Platz, poteca = pathway = Pfad, strada = street = Straße [Gasse].
