Looking for Bukovina Recipes

I thought I would reach out in case anyone has some of these recipes in their possession.

Just found out yesterday that my Father's family came to Edenwold Saskatchewan in 1891 from a town in Bukovina.

Mothers family from Dembzin West Prussia in 1887 homesteaded and founded Brunkild Manitoba.

I always thought I was of German descent. Knock me over with a feather.

Murray - I am wondering if your father's side of the family is of the group called "Germans from Russia," as mine is.

Our family originated in the Rhine Valley where Germany and France meet, yet we emigrated to the USA from the Beresan River region of Ukraine.

Many, many Germans from Russia also went to Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta, as well as South America.

Beginning to look like I may be Romanian

Murray - not recipes, but here is what I hope is good information from the "RussianGerman Repository" on FaceBook:

Village Plat Maps

A plat map is an area of land showing actual or proposed features such as houses, churches, cemeteries, schools, etc. Below are the plat maps that are currently available for the Black Sea area.

DAI Microfilm T-81, #318 contains 104 sketches of Bessarabia, Bukovina and Dobrudscha village plat maps. They were drawn by people who had been evacuated from these areas during the Resettlement in 1940. Some are simple drawings showing rectangles for yards and the name of the head of household in the box while others show a village sketch where farmyard lots are identified, the number that was assigned to each, who occupied them, names of streets, roads leading to neighboring villages, indicating where rivers ran, the location of village streams and wells, cemeteries, churches, other public buildings, etc.

There is a Jewish woman (Romanian heritage ) who has written a series of books called:

BUKOVINA COOK BOOK

Her name is: Merle Kastner

They are on PDF and free to read on Google in English.

Hope this assists you.

Volamos a Mediterraneo, un paraiso que conquista su gente u su cocina.

My youngest son works in Northern England planting trees in the winter-Summer finds him planting trees in British Columbia reclaiming old coal mine sites.

I turn 60 this fall and he just surprised my wife and I with a offer of a trip to Northern Romania and Hungary to trace family roots this fall.

I was caught off guard by his generous offer. He wants to explore with us.
