Thank you so much for your spectacular website.
I have recently begun investigating my Ukrainian roots. My Grandmother
tells me her parents John Tymniak and Catherine Koch came over form
Lvov. I am trying to find out anything I can.
Any suggestions where to start? Lvov looks like a lovely city.

Hello there,
I am Dr. C.M. Chantal Toporow, daughter of Roman George Toporow born in Lvov
1920... I have very little info on my father... his father was Waclaw Toporow (
who's father I was told was the captain of the czar's pleasure yatch??) and his
mother was Maria Niaviarowska ( spelling?) they left during the war, Roman
became a soldier they went to Persia, Egypt, Italy, then England and finally
settled in California. Roman George Toporow had three children of different
wives, Eva in England, deceased, myself in California, and a Roman Martin, no
info, possibly in Florida. I had heard that Roman George Toporow, my father,
had a brother that was killed during the war, I have no direct info on this,
curious to know if there are any children there before he died. Anyway, I hope
this provides you with some information.. Only recently while doing a internet
search I found out there is a village by the name of Toporow, I was completely
surprised, I guess I'll have to go visit someday! Any info
would be helpful. Thanks!
Chantal

Subject: Gimpel's Jewish Theatre in Lemberg/Lwow
Has anyone ever come across any postcards or photos of the Jewish theatre in
Lvov? This was generally known as Gimpel's Jewish
Theatre (the theatre was owned and operated by the Gimpel family from 1889
until 1939).
For most of its life the theatre was housed at 11 Jagiellonska, but a second
theatre, the 'Colosseum', was later opened on ulica
Sloneczna and the two theatres were run side by side. Before the First World
War the theatre made a very large number of gramophone
recordings for various record companies. As part of a larger discographical
project dealing with early European recordings of Jewish
music, I have spent the last 9 years cataloguing these Lemberg recordings and
so far have documented about 500 titles. I now wish
to research the history of the theatre in greater depth.
Anyone with any information at all about Gimpel's Jewish Theatre, no matter how
slight, is welcome to contact me.
Thanks,
Michael Aylward

Thank you for your site. My son needed photos of Lvov for a book report that he
is doing. He read "In My Enemy's House" by Carol Matas (Scholastic Canada,
Ltd., Toronto, 1999). The main character is a young Polish Jewish girl who
escapes to Germany to try to avoid the ghettos and worse fate. In the story,
she says she was born in Zloczow but moved to Lvov when she was just 3 yrs old.
My son needs to bring to school a few articles that will help him during his
oral presentation. Your site has many good references and he will be using some
of them. Very interesting history and beautiful architecture.

give you any clue as to the real name of the town/Shtetl. I am dealing with an

Subject: Tracing my German/Russian relatives
I have been trying to search my family tree. My Grandfather was Christofor
Konrad Becher. His father's name was Jakob or Jacob. Christofor Becher, my
grandfather, emmigrated for Russia in 1906 ir 1907. A passport was issued to
him and his wife, Anna Margaurita, at Ekaterinodar. It says on this paper that
he was a colonist of the Village of Semenov. He emmigrated to Canada with his
wife and 2 children, Mary 2 years old and Elizabeth age 1 month old.
I am seeking any information I can. I believe Christofor Konrad Becher's
mother's name was Elizabeth Borger. Also I believe that Christofor Konrad
Becher had a brother named George(or Gregorovich) and his wife Marie Ann
Brediger.
My Grandfather, Christofor Konrad Becher, was born on October 10, 1879.
