established to help Jews become more economically selfsufficient.
On your next visit to the Museum, I encourage you to set aside some time
to visit in the library. It is a fine resource for our work and genealogists
are likely to find something of interest regarding their communities of
interest. As a result of my conversations with librarystaff, we are honored
that ROM-SIG is now available in the Holocaust Museum Library.

YOULIS Finds YOUKILIS,
After Fifty Years
Rosanne Leeson and Sam Elpern operate the ROMSIG InternetPatrol, watching the JEWISHGENforum
for questions or search names that reveal Romanian
ancestry. When that happens, the writer is told about
possibly matching ROM-SIG matches, and is invited
to join ROM-SIG. Recently, Joyce Field listed
YOULIS as one of her search names, and the Internet
Patrol suggested she contact John Youkilis, of
Cincinnati, Ohio. This is Joyce's reply:
Thank you so much for responding to my query. You
can't imagine how welcome your response was.
1) I am a member of Gesher Galicia, because my family
on both my mother's and father's sides were from
Galicia. My husband's parents were both from
Bessarabia—his father was Sheinfeld (we shortened the
last name) and his mother was Youlis. Yes, I would
be interested in knowing more about your ROM-SIG.
Please send information.
2) Youkilis is a relative of my husband. We have a
picture of Rudy Youkilis visiting my husband's family
in 1945, after my husband was mustered out of the
Canadian Navy at the end of WW2. My husband has
been out of contact with the family for 50 years, so we
will write John Youkilis immediately. Actually, since 1
am the genealogical researcher, I will do the contacting.
3) It is unfortunate that we did not know of the trip to
Teleneshty before. We have been thinking of a side trip
there after the Paris JEWISHGEN meeting next summer.
Please keep in touch, and thank you again for the
wonderful information. We are most appreciative.

Further details of their special status and history
The Sudits of Romania: Invited and Privileged Guests?
by Stela Marie§, translated and edited by Bruno Segal
Prologue: The Sudits were a group offoreign residents
living on Romanian soil in the 19th century, who were
given certain special economic privileges by the
Romanian government, and who had the diplomatic and
legal protection ofaforeignpower. Thefirst part ofthis
three-part publication appearedin our last issue.
Prof. Ladislau Gyemdnt has contributed some statistics
as to the percentage of Jews among the Sudits, and
Sudits among theJews:
•
In 1845, there were inMoldavia 4,624families of
Sudits. Ofthese, 1,437 were Jewish, so theJews
comprised 31% ofall Sudits. The total number of
Jewish Sudits was 11,655persons (5,350merchants,
4,898 craftsmen, 1,427 others).
•
///1838, the total Jewish population ofMoldavia
was 79,164 persons, so the Jewish Sudits were
one-seventh (14.7%) ofall MoldavianJews.
to 7.5% in 1866. It is worth noting that of all the foreign
subjects engaged in commerce in Moldavia, the Austrian
subjects enjoyed the best custom privileges. This was
accomplished through active lobbying by the government in
Vienna which was interested in preserving the commercial
benefits enjoyed by their subjects in the Ottoman Empire, and
expanding the Austrian commerce in Southeast Europe.
Through their consuls in Bucharest and Ia§i and through
repeated and frequent interventions with the Ottoman court,
the Austrian government insured that the 3% customs duty was
respected for their subjects. With these favorable conditions,
the Jewish Sudits engaged in trade with the Austrian Empire
and the German States. They engaged in commerce, cattle and
horse trading, import of various luxury items—so-called
"goods from Vienna," and dealing in rabbit skins.
As Austrian subjects, the Jewish Sudits were beneficiaries of a
customs system with tariffs calculated specifically for the type
of goods traded. The application of these tariffs by the
Moldavian customs agents was monitored by Austrian consular
officials in Ia§i and Galaî and reported to Vienna. Because of
the specific tariffs, the Jewish Sudits were in fact paying less
than 3% customs fees.
This is confirmed in an official
document from February 7, 1810.45 The lower customs fees
were a definite advantage over the native merchants, who paid
a fee of 5% after peace was concluded at Kuchiuk-Kainargy in
1774. The customs fees of the native merchants were reduced
to 3% just before the Russian-Austrian-Turkish war of 17871792. to coincide with the fees of the Sudits. However, even
with this apparent parity, the Austrian Sudits had advantages
And now we continue:
Theeconomic privileges that the Suditsenjoyed can be classified
into two categories: customs privileges and fiscal exemptions.
Customs fees and privileges of the Sudits
Generally, the foreign subjects enjoyed in Moldavia customs
over the native merchants. The Sudits had customs fees which
were elaborated in the trade treaties concluded. The customs
fees were set specifically for the kinds of goods traded. As a
result of this, the Sudits were able to pay less than 3% fees,
especially for the more expensive goods, while the native
merchants and the subjects of the Ottoman Empire were paying

the full 3% customs fees."
The ascendancy of the Sudits already from the end of the
privileges concluded between the European powers and the
Ottoman Empire which were applied de jure also in the
Romanian principalities. However, due to the autonomy of the
eighteenth century is noted with satisfaction in the Austrian
diplomatic correspondence at that time, which stated that "the
principalities regarding customs duties, the commercial treaties
concluded between the European powers and the Ottoman court

were not totally applied there. Generally, the foreign subjects
who engaged in trade in Moldavia before andafter the Organic
Laws were subject to a single assessment of 3% ad valorem for
import or export, payable to the Moldavian custom authorities
and not to the Ottoman authorities. The 3% tariff was
applicable until 1850, when it was raised to 5% and then raised
Austrian merchants have a real advantage of 25% [regarding
greater advantage with every passing day." The privileged
status of the Austrian Sudits became evident especially during
1850-1854 when they continued to pay 3% customs fees while
other Sudits were paying 5%. This fee structure was
introduced in Moldavia in 1850. Even though the Austrian
Sudits were eventually required to pay the same customs tariffs
as the other Sudits or the natives, they had already been able to
attain a commanding position in the Moldavian commerce as a
result of this advantage. Furthermore, as a result of the Austrian
political influence in Moldavia and through the consular
interventions, the Austrian Sudits continued to expand their
dominance of the Moldavian commerce and in particular the
export trade. Diplomatsand German travelers in the second half
of 19lh century observed that "the richest merchants from the
Principalities were those that engaged in the importation of
luxury goods or other manufactured goods which they brought
from Leipzig. They were able to realize 25-100% profit on goods
presented to be from France but which in reality were also from
England. Saxony or Austria." These merchants—so-called
lipscani—vtete Austrian subjects, typically Jews or Armenians
who resided especially in Iasi.'
The preferential treatment
A distinction appeared between the Sudits who were exempted
from the personal taxes and labor conscription and other
members50 oftheJewish community, so-called breasla or kahal
who had administrative, fiscal and confessional respon
sibilities. As it is attested in documents51 from the end of the
18lh century, the Jewish community met its obligation to the
treasury through a collective tax. This tax or gabela was levied
on the native Jews and on the subjects of a foreign power,
whether they were living in the capital or in other towns or
cities, for the ritual slaughtering (kashering) of meat. This
amount was fixed in 1796 by a charter52 of the Prince at 16
pungi (bags) or 8000 piasters annually. This created certain
internal problems within the Jewish community.53 In spite of
the differences between the Sudits and the native Jews, this
enjoyed by the Jewish Sudits of Moldavia formed the basis of the
argumentation between the Sudit and native merchants, and
within the Jewish community between the native merchants and
the foreign subjects who were clearly the beneficiaries of the
system of taxation prevailed before and after the Organic Laws

covered the costs of the community toward the government as
well as the maintenance of the synagogues, salaries of the
rabbis, maintenance of a hospital and other philanthropic
Fiscal privileges and exemptions
of the Jewish Sudits from Moldavia
because of communal and religious considerations. This tax
was determined in the synagogue through an auction where a
representative from the local authorities was present. The tax
costs.51 This method of taxation proved to be the best method
of assessing the Jewish community at large.
To the credit of the [Ottoman regime] the exemption from personal
taxes was one of the most important economic benefits enjoyed by
the foreign subjects in the OttomanEmpire.The privileges conferred
on the Sudits represented conditions enjoyed by foreign merchants
who were trading wholesale with merchants from Turkey or the

Levantine states at the lime of the treaties concluded between the

of the 19th century. This is based on rich unedited material
Ottoman Empire and the European powers. The privileges and
exemptions conferred bythe Ottomanregimeon the Suditswerepart
of a policy appliedin the RomanianPrincipalities as well, in spite of
their internal autonomy.
The fiscal exemptions and privileges were invoked from the end
of the 18th century; at the same time, foreign consulates were
established at Iasj and Bucharest. The Austrian consulate was
especially aggressive in their implementationand interpretation
of the commercial treaties concluded with the Ottoman regime.
The Austrian consuls insisted that their subjects were exempt
from any taxes except the 3% ad valorem for import and export
throughout the Ottoman Empire (which also included the
Romanian Principalities). However,the consuls seemed to forget
that these agreements between the Ottoman regime and Austria
referred only to Austrian merchants who were temporarily in the
Ottoman Empire and were trading wholesale. However, through
their arbitrary interpretation, the Austrian consulates asserted
that these agreements also included their subjects who traded
retail in the Principalities. The merchants were required to
belong to guilds. As it appears in the charter of the prince
Alexander Mavrocordat. from September 1783,'19 foreign
merchants were not allowed to sell their goods with the "elbow"
or the "scales"; in other words, retail. The goods were
purchased by the native merchants belonging to guilds who were
selling it retail.
The Jewish Sudits who refused to pay the community tax,
the Ottoman court, generated repeated complaints from the
native Jews55 and produced a class structure with a fiscal and
available to us from the archives in Iasi. We cite a case from
1829 in Iasi when the whole Jewish community lodged a
protest in which they complained that the Jewish Sudits, who
possessed large capital, had large businesses in Iasi in street
shops rented from natives. They were not paying taxes
resulting from such businesses, and at the same time were also
exempted from other labor conscription to the community
Chavalele") and quartering military personnel,thereby leaving
the fiscal burdens and other responsibilities to the native Jews.
The Jewish community petitioned [the government] that the
Sudit Jews should be liable for all taxes and obligations as all
other residents of the capital arc, based proportionally on the
amount of their profit and their position, and to make it easier
for those that were poorer.56 Another petition was brought by
the Jewish community of Iasi on December 15, 1832
to
General Paul Kisclcff, the Governor of Moldavia and of the
Romanian nation. The community complained about the new
system of collecting the taxes which they considered predatory,
as well as "their exploitation by some Austrian subjects." As a
result of this, a commission of inquiry was created. The native
Jews brought a complaint before the commission in 1833 in
which they presented striking disparities within the Jewish
community saving that "the most prominent Jews are Sudits
who can pay what ten of us can not." Finally they suggested
that the Sudits should be liable for the fiscal obligations as the
native Jews were, at the rate as fixed under the old tax code."
Analyzing documents, we can conclude that the Sudit Jews were
considered members of the Jewish community by their co
religionists and were expected to have all the rights and
obligations of a member. However, the Jewish Sudits saw
matters differently. They took advantage of the financial
privileges conferred on them by the Ottoman court, and declared
to the commission "besides that which we are ordered to pay (by
.,60
their protectors), we are not required to pay anything.
As Sudits, they enjoyed exemption from personal taxes and
labor conscription. Eventually the Jewish Sudits, due to
religious considerations and a common heritage, agreed to pay
the same tax as the native Jews. However, they continued to
have different opinions, considering themselves superior and
part of the elite. At the end of the 18th century, the Austrian
Sudits opened a separate butcher shop61 and in 1833 they
petitioned fora separate hahambusha.62
The Jewish Sudits represented the elite of the Jewish community.
They possessed significant capital and had important occupations,
including important positions at the court of the Prince.03 The fact
that the Jewish Sudits were the leaders of the community over the
natives is evident from the fact that the position ofStaroste (provost)
was held in Iasj by Sudits.
Jews in the payment of taxes for the period 1838-1845.
69
The introduction70 of the system of patentei (license) for
artisans or merchants who engaged in amanuntul (retail) trade,
regardless of whether they were Sudits or native, and the
disappearance of the Hahambusa system, had the consequence
that many Sudits enrolled in the ranks of the patentari. This
didn't apply to foreign subjects engaged in wholesale trade.
Generally, the foreign subjects who bought a license were
joining the ranks of the native artisans and merchants who
belonged to the respective corporations, and as a result of this
ipso facto losing certain advantages belonging to Sudits. They
lost the right of consular jurisdiction and were now obligated to
have their trials inthe local courts and to abide by the local laws.72
Some Jewish Sudits became patentari (licensed) but didn't give
up the right to consular jurisdiction. The fact that some Jewish
Sudits as well as natives became licensed is evident from the
documents Vistieriei Moldovei where the payment from the
Jewish community in Iasj for 1832 is listed and divided into
three categories: 23,160 lei received from patentari or licensed
persons, 39,310 lei from people who paid personal tax, and
30,500 from Sudits. To simplify the levying of taxes and to
avoid conflicts between the Jewish natives and Sudits, and as
requested by the Jewish community in Iasj, a new tax code was
introduced in 1839 which set a tax of 60 lei on.the head of each
The introduction of patente (licensing) .... provided that "all
merchants and artisans can not practice their respective

cities. This was levied in Iasi through the tax imposed on

occupation." Article 53 of the Organic Laws stated that "only

This method of taxation was applied to the Jewish Sudits and

natives in Ia§i during the period 1839-1845.75
the Jews. In other words, past experiences of the last decades
validated the tax system for all Jews from the towns and cities.
However in reality the Jewish Sudits and especially the Austrian
Sudits didn't cease to petition the Austrian consulate to be
considered separate from the natives in regard to the method of

Council of Moldavia as approved by the Prince Mihai Sturdza,

accepted by the foreign consulates in Moldavia.
The Austrian subjects from
Falticeni petitioned their consulate on December 5, 184507 to
intervene on their behalf regarding their tax obligations.
Among the twenty five Austrian Sudits who signed the petition
arc Marcu Focsaneanu, Mendel Focsaner, and Avram Focsaner.
On the eve of the restructuring of the country as a result of the
Treaty of Paris in 1856, the existence of the collective tax from
both Sudits and native Jews "without any consular
intervention" is recorded in official documents from 1858. In
On another occasion,68 the Jewish Sudits cited their fiscal
the Jewish tax regulations of 1859-1860, a clause was inserted
immunity as granted to them by the Ottoman court, and on that
basis requested exemption from certain taxes. They also
specified that they agree to pay fumaritul and cotocaritul [see
footnote 67]. Fumaritul was to be paid individually, and
proportionally, based on the prosperity of each Sudit merchant
as in the leasing contracts during the period of the Organic
Laws which stated that if the taxed person is a foreign subject
he/she was subject to Moldavian rule regarding taxes and
would not petition or address claims to any body other than the
local courts.
with a shop. It is very interesting to note that the reason given
by the Austrian Sudits for their past acceptanceof the tax system
was the intervention of the rabbi of Iasi, who reminded them of
In 1860 the tax system was abolished, due especially to the
friction within the Jewish community of Moldavia. During the
the principles of loving their neighbors and helping their needy
brothers. This convinced them to participate with the native
reign of Alexander loan Cuza, the Jewish Sudit merchants
residents in the Principality as well as all other merchants and
8
artisans were subject to the payment of patentei (license),
depending on their respective profession and based on the
licensing law applied in Moldavia between May 30, 1860 and
1863.
However, the Sudits' main fiscal immunity, the
78
exemption from their personal taxes, remained in effect.
Personal exemptions and privileges
of the Jewish Sudits in Moldavia
The Jewish Sudits from Moldavia enjoyed complete freedom and
personal immunity conferred on the foreign subjects throughout the
Ottoman Empire. This consisted of personal liberty, inviolability of
residence, freedom of religion, freedom of movement on land and
water, freedom to practice their respective trade, etc.
The charters of the Moldavian Princes from the 18th and 19th
centuries implicitly recognize the autonomy of the Jewish
community and their right to live according to their religion, and
to freely practice their religion according to the biblical laws.
Based on their religious needs, they were allowed separate
butcher shops from the Christian population for the ritual
slaughtering of fowl and cattle. The Jewish Sudits from lasj and

to the ritual baths in Iasi necessary for religious practice. The
charters issued by the government show that they sought to
attract productive foreign elements among whom the Jews were
prominent, in exchange for privileges and exemptions. They
were accorded not only freedom of conscience, and freedom to
exercise their religion, but also fiscal exemptions. They had the
right to build houses of worship, but made only from wood and
not from stone. They were exempt from paying bezmanului, or
the rent, to the landowner where they intended to build their
synagogue or ritual bath. These exemptions were not present in
any of the treaties between the European powers and the
Ottoman court, which suggests that the Sudits enjoyed

additional privileges in Moldavia.
One of the most remarkable facts is that the Jewish Sudits, as all
other Sudits. enjoyed the inviolability of residence and persons,
one of the most significant immunities from the Ottoman
regime. In an age of political instability, of wars and turbulent
times, the guarantees regarding their residence and persons to
people who were generally well-situated and with means, was a
significant benefit. The inviolability of persons and residence of
every Sudit in Moldavia was an edict expressly transmitted to all
administrative bodies throughout all the regions and strictly
observed by all consulates in the capital. As can be observed
from our presentation, an individual who was the subject of a
foreign power, and implicitly a Jewish Sudit, enjoyed juridical,
fiscal, and customs privileges and certain personal immunities.

Jeanette's Hebrew name is Sheindle bat Shlomo. She
was named after a Goldenberg aunt who lived in Paris.

Jeanette. She has quite a sweet tooth, and she always
found a free sample of the finest candy at Mr. Gross'
store. Jeanette also played with the Gross children.

sons moved to London. After our family moved to
Manchester, this son visited from time to time. When

military or other formal parade. But in the eyes of a
5-year-old child, it must have appeared awesome. She
also remembers costumed troubadours from the castle,
who entertained the villagers in front of the houses.
Jeanette's father brought excellent fabrics from Paris,
Vienna, and other cities in Europe. He traveled often on
business. He was the one who personally took these

America on the S. S. Homeric, they stayed with him
and his wife.
Across the street was the largest and most beautifully
furnished house of the area. This belonged to Jeanette's
grandfather, Schneer Zalmon Solomon. Zalmon owned
a flour mill in Pungesti. Jeanette remembers the horses
pulling the grinding wheel mechanism. She used to beg
for rides on the pushcarts or dollies, which were flat
platforms on wheels used to move the flour sacks about
the storeroom. As for any kid, a free ride was always
special to her, and everyone catered to her wishes.

room separate from their parents. In the yard behind
the house was a metal fence that encircled the prop
erty of the nobleman's castle. Jeanette used to climb
the fence and run along the lower railing, where she
could peer out over the top. The property was huge
with magnificent flower gardens and finely mowed
lawns. All were extremely well tended and gorgeous
to view. The castle house was enormous although
Jeanette never entered the property.
Next door was a similar business with the store in
front and a home in the rear.
Fine chocolates and
Jeanette and her cousins often went to visit Zalmon. A
typical typical loving grandparent, he was gentle and
kind. He used to sit with a cup of hot tea laced with
rum. Jeanette pleaded for her first taste of rum just as
she pleaded for the rides on Zalmon's flour mill carts
or for candy from Mr. Gross. Ultimately, Jeanette got
a taste. Her grandfather could not resist her for long.
Next door to Zalmon was a neighbor who raised turkeys.
Jeanette often chased them. Eventually she was caught
and given a mild scolding. She remembers only a few
more houses on the street.
Details of houses on the
streets beyond are more vague. There were no large
stores as we know them today. Work was done at home
or in the front of the home. The seamstress who made
their clothes lived across the street.
Memories of Life in Pungesti (cont'd)
Jeanette remembers that one day a "big fuss" occurred
with many ladies joining Sophie in her bedroom. Al
though Jeanette had been ordered to stay outside, she
stood on a chair to peek in. Betty was born after a
difficult labor from a breech position, which was a
serious delivery problem in those days. But Jeanette, a
6-year-old, could not understand what all the fuss was

probably stayed with Grandma's family, the Goldenbergs. It must have been quite a special trip for my
mother. She returned much later with many new
dresses and clothes.
Perhaps the family gave the
dresses to Betty. It is possible that Sophie took the
fabric for the dresses with her, and her sisters, cousins,
or a dressmaker made the clothes. We can only guess
since all of this happened after the pogrom of 1907,
and the family had limited means.

many people were in the synagogue, but it was a large

Tampa, Florida. Jack had married and moved to
Galaî. When he visited the family in Pungesti, he
brought toys for the girls. This was very special be
cause Jeanette remembers that her parents did not give
them any toys.
About 1909 or 1910, Saul, Sophie, and the girls moved
to Vaslui. This was a real city with paved cobblestone
streets and large stores. Jeanette also attended public
schools there. Parents paid extra for Jewish children.
It is not clear whether this was an anti-Semitic price or
special charges for Sudits.
Before grandmother and the girls left for Manchester,
they took a train from Vaslui to Galaî to visit Jack and
his family. It must have been very difficult for Sophie
to say good-bye. She knew that there was a strong
possibility that she might not see them again.
When they arrived in Manchester, Claire was 15 years
old, Jeanette was 9, and Betty was 3. Claire and
Jeanette had more responsibility caring for young
Betty. Many times they soothed Betty's tears when she
was upset or lonely. Jeanette and Betty attended an
all-girls Jewish school where Jeanette played basket
ball. Claire attended a separate school as she was
much older.
When she was in Manchester, Jeanette was sent to the
Lorbourne Business College, a secretarial school,
where she became skilled in typing and shorthand.
Consequently, she was able to support herself when
she came to the United States in 1923. She immed

At the end of the nineteenth century, all Jews were
banned from any public schooling in Romania.
Yekutiel Zalman Blum (pronounced Bloom) was the
unofficial mayor of the small Jewish community of
Frumuîca, which means Pretty Little Place).
Frumu§ica consisted of houses on either side of a
road leading elsewhere. As my father described it,
the horse was at one end of town and the wagon at
the other.
Frumujjica was and still is, a few
kilometers north of Hirlau, the home of most of the
Blooms, and the Segalls, who rented living space
from the more prosperous Blooms.

to greet him with bread and salt, as was appropriate,
students. In speaking with the Metropole, Yekutiel
opened the conversation in Loshon Kodesh
(Hebrew). An ingenious move, chutzpahdick in its
brilliance. In a seemingly ingenious way, one to
which the Metropole could not object, i.e. the use of
the Bible's language, Yekutiel established his total
equality with the Metropole. That this encounter
changed what was going on in Romania is doubtful.
That it showed something about Yekutiel Zalman is
for sure. His self-respect, and knowing he was any
man's equal is a legacy to each of us!

Another Index of Names from the Dorohoi Region of Romania
including Darabani, Herta, Mihaileni, Radauti-Pmt and Saveni
as compiledfrom a 640-page memory book, second in a series,
published in Israel in 1993 by survivorsofthe region
compiled by Monica Talmor
This book is the second of three volumes in the series. Each volume has two sections. Romanian and Hebrew. In our Autumn 1993 issue,
we published names extracted from the Romanian section of volume I by Elaine Starn. Now, Monica Talmor has performed an equally
herculean task in extracting over 3200 names from the Romanian section of volume II. Volume III has just been printed, and we hope to
publish an extract from it in the future. Meanwhile, we await a volunteer to work on the Hebrew sections of these books.
Following each name in the index are the page numbers on
which that name appears. A suffix of "p" indicates a photo, but
that notation is not complete for the entire list. That is to say,
all names appearing with (or without) photos are included in
the list, but not all names with photos have the suffix "p".
We start off with the "table of contents" for the Romanian portion
of Volume II. This material appears in English in the original, and
gives you the flavor of the book. You may want to request the
pages for certain pieces which refer to towns or people or events or
authors of particular interest to you.
We will be happy to supply copies of the pages that interest you.
Please specify the pages you wish, and enclose a self-addressed
envelope with fiftycents for each page requested. We are asking for
a minimum contribution of five dollars: all monies beyond the cost
of copying and postage will be sent to David Shlomo in Israel to
assist his group with the costs of producing these books.
Continuation... Shlomo David - 9

name, not even a whole paragraph. The articles devoted to

specific families arc brief. Tell us if you read Romanian. If you
do not, Monica will give you the "sense" of the passages.
Look if your ancestors were anywhere near this region.
Although you may think the people you arc researching
came from one particular town, they may have actually lived in
one of the neighboring villages. You may also find the names
of someof your Iasi or Bucharest ancestors, for example, in this
index. They may have lived in this region at one time and left
some lasting memory with someone who nows live in Israel.
Look for various spellings.
Check the names carefully. The same name can be spelled
in various ways. It is more important how the name sounds
than how it is spelled. Please excuse any errors you may find.
An exciting, parting thought
Remember, someone LIVING in Israel donated this infor
mation. That may be a further contact that can be made to hasten
yourRomanian research. The authors can be contactedthrough:
David Shlomo, P.O. Box 134, Kiryat Bialik 27101, Israel

First of a series
The Surnames of the First Ashkenazi Jews
in Romania
23
From Solomon came Solomonescu; from Avram, Avramescu; from lacob, Iacobescu; from Isac, Iscovescu;
from Aron, Aroneanu; from Lazar, Lazareanu, etc.
by Marcel Bratu
The variety of Jewish surnames in the two Romanian
principalities—Wallachia and especially Moldavia—is in
fact the story of the Jewish population that came mainly
from central and eastern Europe and settled in Romania.
There were three distinct categories of Jewish surnames,
reflecting the sources of that immigration andthe histor
ical period in which the immigration occurred:
1) A large immigration of Ashkenazi Jews from the 1600's and
even before, until the early yearsof the 19th century;
2) A small number of Sephardim entering from the south over
the centuries;
3) An even larger influx of Ashkenazi Jews starting in the early
1800's and doubling every decade or two thereafter.
Following the Jewish existence in Dacia Felix as early as
the first century, and the arrival of some Khazars from
Russia from the eighth century onward, a large mass of
Ashkenazi Jews started to settle in Moldavia, coming as
early as the 16th century (the 1500's) from Poland,
Bohemia, Austria, Galicia and later from Russia. They
came without a surname, but with a standard
identification: "x Ben y" or "x Zien y." An example
would be §lomo ben I(hac in Hebrew (§lomo, the son of
tyhac) or in Yiddish, §loima Zien Ipc. I remember this
"Zien" still in use in Dorohoi in my childhood (I was born
in 1924). Frequently, zien appears in print as sin.
Much later, in the early and mid-19th century, when a
few thousand Jewish families, maybe 30,000 souls,
already existed in Romania, they were compelled by
the authorities to be identifiable by a patronymic
name. They needed to have more than an "x ben y"or
"x zien y" in order to pay taxes, to be identified as
lawbreakers and later to satisfy their army duties, etc.
Like other Jews in other countries, these immigrants
The suffix -eanu was also, in some cases, added to the
hometown of the subject to produce the Jewish sur
name: Ie§eanu (from Ia§i), Tecuceanu (from Tecuci),
Foc§aneanu (from Foc§ani), Deleanu (from Deleni).
In still other cases, the suffix -am was added to the
name of the trade, resulting in other Jewish surnames:
Pantofaru
(bootmaker,
Ciubotaru,
Cizmaru,
shoemaker), Moraru (miller), Pitaru (pita and bread
makers), Croitoru (taylor), etc.
Some Romanians bore the same surnames as Jews.
However, the first name was different. If the whole
name was Itic Croitoru, he was a Jew. If the name was
Ion, Vasile, or Neculai Croitoru, the subject was a
gentile. Greek and Russian Orthodox, who made up
99% ofthe gentile religionists in these two principalities,
never used names from the Old Testament or names
from the Yiddish language for their children. However,
in the case of a boy's name that left you in doubt, his
identity was checked by pulling down the pants.
Romanian Christians were never circumcised, except for
a very few medical instances.
Therefore, the Jews who came to Romania up to the
early 19th century when their identification was still
only "x ben y" or "x zien y" adopted these surnames.
These Jews were granted by the authorities with the
title "evrei Pamanteni" (Jews of the Land). They
enjoyed some civic rights intermittently, based on
mutual understandings, but not stipulated in any law.
However, the exception tests the rule: a Jew named
tyc Shor (probably Shor was a surname) played an
important role in the court of Stephen the Great
(Stefan Cel Mare) who reigned between 1457 and
1504, when very few Jews in the whole Ashkenazi
world had a surname.
used a mixture of Yiddish and the language of their
new homeland.
The first name was in Yiddish, or
spelled as in Romanian: §loima or Solomon, Her§ or
Her§cu, Avrum or Avram, etc. The patronymic name
thus became the name of the father with a Romanian
suffix: -escu or -eanu.
These clues in identifying the surnames of the first
Ashkenazim in Romania appear to tell a clear-cut
story, buttheydo not. Confusionsand complications
occurred through the years; I will discuss these in
the later articles of this series.

SCHENKER....Siret
1 am researching my father's roots.
My father's name was Karol Schenker, and he
was born about 1895 in the town of Siret, in
the province of Bukovina, that is now at the
northern border of Romania. My father had a
brother called Jutec, and their father was a
lawyer or public prosecutor.

GRINBERG, RAPHAEL
Moinesti
As someone newly bitten by the genealogy bug, I was
referred to you by several on-liners. Please enter my
subscription.
My father's side of the family came from Moinesti at
the turn of the century. I'm dying to learn more
about the place (I'm planning a trip to that part of the
world, and some of my friends are temporarily
stationed in Moldova).
My father was a reconnaissance photographer
in the Austrian air force during the first World
War. My father's brother, Jutec Schenker, had
a son, Boris Schenker, who was a soldier on
the Allied side during the second World War.
I know only that my great-grandmother, Minna
Greenberg, was born in Moinesti in 1886 to a butcher
named Manolah Grinberg and his wife Chaya (maiden
name Raphael). Chaya died giving birth to Minnie's
youngest sister, and Minnie fell under the tyranny of a
