Here are some
pictures of our visit on May 4, 2006 to the archive in Zaparoszhe. Zaparoszhe (formerly Alexandrovsk) was
the nearest large town to Khortitsia, the village on the Dneiper River where
Isaac and Esther Dolginover moved (with children Motke & Fanny?) in the
1890's and where subsequent children, including my father Joseph, were
born. In response to Marc's
request made weeks in advance, the local archivists had combed the surviving
records (synagogue and civil) for references to our family and had this waiting
for us on our visit
