Looking for info on ancestors of my father's father, Chaim Bronshteyn (1915-1986), native of Beltsy, Moldova and Chaim's two sisters-Hannah (Bujor) and Liza. I can only suspect that the latter two were also born in Beltsy, probably around the same time period as Chaim did, and after I saw the memorial information, posted in Hannah's honor, on the pages of Temple Beth-El's bulletin in Birmingham, Alabama, by my father's sister, I realized that Hannah indeed married into the infamous Bujor family distinguishing itself for one of its members, the infamous revolutioner, Bujor, probably Mihai Gheorghiu Bujor on whom I haven't been able to locate any information on the internet or in print.

I have no idea what Chaim or his parents did before the war but during the war Chaim relocated temporarily to Tashkent, Uzbekistan where he married Ziseli Berishovna Golger, native of Yampol, Ukraine and had twin sons, Mark (my father) and Genadiy with her in 1944. Nine years later the final child in that family came along-a daughter, Ludmila. All three children of Chaim became engineers, my father I think received a diploma of a math teacher but worked as an engineer-builder in Kishinev, probably in order to get a new apartment faster than most which actually happened in 1983, the year of my 7th birthday.

I am the only child in my family as well as my cousin Rosalia who is the only child of Genadiy but Ludmila had her second child-Felix, in 1987, 11 years after her first one-Elina. After Chaim passed away in 1986, all that family with the exception of Chaim's sisters, their families, Genadiy and his family, relocated to Birmingham, Alabama but I and my mother recently relocated to Israel where we are planning to apply for aliya-after 15 years of living in the United States.

I have been going through an unimaginable nightmare in my genealogical research for none of my queries of this nature, posted on countless sites, received any replies to my liking. In this particular type of search, I need photographs like of Chaim and Ziseli when they were children and young and of their parents at various ages. I also need to know at least what Chaim's parents and grandparents did for a living. I am very disappointed: I keep being rejected in these searches month after month, I paid, on September 7th, $100 to one researcher in Kishinev, Moldova to research Chaim's ancestors but things have been going on so badly that the chances for a normal response from that genealogist are extremely low. Since I never know what will happen with me here in a new country, on a new continent, the ones with the replies to this message may forward their replies to:
