Just a short seemingly trivial notice, but in fact A GENEALOGICAL BREAKTHROUGH, made possible by the priceless persistence of Eliezer Schaffer from Haifa and by the thoughtful cooperativeness of Dragoș Olaru. Just imagine, at the end of the day you will be able
• to track the migration movement for your family,
• to interchange house numbers with streets [+ house numbers], etc.
As a matter of fact, the census sheets provide even more information than the civil records, i. e.:
- names (surnames, forenames, titles [of nobility])
- relationship (degree of relationship to the occupant)
- sex
- dates of birth
- places of birth
- rights of residence (places of origin)
- religion
- civil status
- common language
- regular occupation (description, position)
- secondary occupation (description, position)
- houseowning, landowning
- literacy level (reading and writing, just reading, none)
- disabilities (blind, deaf-dumb, idiotic, cretin [!?])
- residence
- remarks

Hello Edgar, is there an online listing of the names from the census. I see there appears to be a list created showing the names on the census. Just looking for that source.
Thanks for your time,

Searching Trichter's from Czernowitz.
Hi John,
Unfortunately we didn't get the opportunity (yet) to digitize this unique resource and the cooperation with Ukrainian archives turned out to become more and more difficult. On the other hand I'm assuming you are aware of GeneaSearch, which - in combination with FamilySearch - leads to excellent results:
• https://czernowitz.geneasearch.net/index.php
• https://www.familysearch.org/search/catalog
Just check it out! Success in your research and warmest wishes from Germany!

Hello Edgar,
Thank you for your suggestions. These, along with the Jewish Taxpayers in Bukovina, are a great resource.
For some time I have been researching TRICHTER from Czernowitz. There are about 10 distinct branches that I've pieced together. It's not a common name so I believe most are related.
Based on Trichters found in Jewish Taxpayers in Bukovina, I was able to find my 5G Grandfather, Beer Trichter.
Utilizing Geneasearch and Familysearch, I was able to view the actual metrical records and combine two of the branches and tie them to Beer Trichter.
I believe in order for me to connect the remaining branches, I will have to wait and hope the census from 1869 and 1880 come on line.
Do you know of any other source for records from the early 1800's?
Thanks for what you have done,
John,

Hi John,
No doubt about, it's hard to research, but at FamilySearch you'll discover - apart from metrical books - the records of the Czernowitz Jewish Community starting from as early as 1780.
Another valuable source four you may be ANNO, the Austrian Newspapers Archive:
http://anno.onb.ac.at
Check it out, it's a magnificent database with most sophisticated search engines.
The Austrian War Archives https://www.statearchives.gv.at/kriegsarchiv could became interesting for you too.
Warmest wishes and succecc in your research!
Hi John,
I am trying to trace my maternal grandfather's family. His name was John Trichter, born in April 1882 - have you come across him within your family tree?
Regards,
Joe Davis
Hi Joe,
I don’t have a John Trichter in my tree. Did John go by another name? Also, where did John settle?
Let me know,
John Epstein
