Re: [Cz-L] Jews have never lived in Brody

No, we do not wipe out anything which is factual.
But we look at all the facts:

Historical facts:

Bukowina and Galizia were one single administrative unit
of the Austro-Hungarian empire from 1775 till 1849.
The federal constitution of March 4, 1849 separated Bukowina
from Galicia and made it an autonomous duchy whose
internal affairs as defined by the constitution would be
regulated by a Diet or Regional Parliament.

In 1860 Graf Agenor Goluchowski, who had been named
as interior minister on August 1859 attempted to reunite
Bukowina and Galizia into a single administrative entity.

On December 24, 1860 representatives of the people
of all classes and religious entities of Bukowina presented a petition
to the minister of state, Anton Ritter v. Schmerling (1805-1893),
in which they demanded the autonomy of Bukowina.

Kaiser Franz Joseph I fulfilled the wish of Bukowina and
with the patent of February 26, 1861 Bukowina again became
an independent duchy, the earlier regional constitution
was reestablished and a regional law was enacted according to which
a Regional Parliament consisting of 31 members, the Bukowina Bishop
and 29 elected representatives (10 of them from the class of
the large land owners, 7 from the cities and chambers of trade
and commerce, and 12 from the rural districts) was established.
On April 6,1861 the first session of the Regional Parliament took place.

The administrative unity with Galizia lasted almost 75 years.
Till 1816, Jews needed an individual permit to settle in the Bukowina.
At the beginning of this period, the 1776 census recorded
the Jewish population of the Bukowina as being 2906 people.
At the end of this period, in 1850 the Jewish population
of the Bukowina was 14581 people.
In 1869, the Jewish population of the Bukowina was 47,754 people.
By 1880 the Jewish population numbered 67,418 people.

The increase of the Jewish population from 1776 to 1850
is no greater than it would be, through natural increase by birth,
therefore it can be assumed that there was very little immigration
into the Bukowina during that period. The largest Jewish immigration
into the Bukowina occurred in the period from 1850 to 1869,
after the separation of Bukowina from Galizia.
In the Bukowina that we, members of this list, knew or were told about
by our parents or grandparents, Polish influence was slight.

I would be curious to know how many members of this list are sure
that their ancestors lived in Bukowina before 1850 or that
they came to the Bukowina from Galizia.

In my case two of my great-grandparents came to the Bukowina
from Stanislavov Galizia around 1870.
Two came to Czernowitz in 1879 from Maramures, which was also
part of Austro-Hungary. Four great-great-grandparents already lived
in the Bukowina in 1850 and I do not know where they came from.
