My late father, Harry Katz, also known as Tzvi, came from the town of Dinivitz in the province of Kamenetz Podolsk in the Ukraine. Is there anyone out there who also came from the Dinivitz area, or whose parents or grandparents came from there who possibly knew my family (grandparents, Nathan and Rose, aunts and uncles Samuel, Charles and David, Becky, Lena and Anna)? You may respond to me or to my children, Robert and Eva Katz, at katzek@hotmail.com, or to Michelle Katz and Rick Gilmore at michkatz@mcquaideblasko.com. Is there anyone out there who has been to Dinivitz or who knows exactly where it is? Various of my first cousins and second cousins are doing family trees and any information I get from this search will be helpful to us all.
Thanks.

Did Lena Katz marry and become Lena Solomon?

Or.. did she become Lena Gelman

(if so we may be related)

(rod isnt my real name)

Eva:

I realize this was posted some time ago , but I just ran across it. My maternal grandmother, Sarah Pendler, was from Dinivitz. She came from a large family (as most did). Some of her siblings were Kuka, Laka, Yenta, Ida, and Bennick. I believe her family was from a long line of rabbis.

From what I understand, Dinivitz was destroyed during the war. I did find a web site where you could locate where the cemetery was.

I hope this information is helpful.

Annie Skelton;

Was so kind of you to respond to our inquiry about the Katz family.

Our family thanks you and appreciates the information you have shared.

Thank you again.

my grandfather Joseph dob 8-21-1893 date of death 8/21/1985 was born in Miden and raised in kamenetz podolsk. His parents were Pesa and Benjamin he had brothers Nachman, David, Moishe Isaac and sisters. Only he and cousins, Dave and Sylvia who lived in New york and a few cousins in Detroit survived. He would say "vinitza" not dinivitz although they sound similar. His father we a foreman at a sugar beet factory. If this is a possible connection my mother is very alive and well and can fill you in on many other details

SO KIND AND GENEROUS OF YOU TO RESPOND.

LET ME DO SOME CHECKING, AND WILL GET BACK TO YOU.

THANKS AGAIN.

amend my great grandfathers name to Chaim Bensein (sp) thanks
