Re: Mermelstein from Klyachanovo

I am forwarding your email to someone else who knows that side of the family better than I do. The truth is that I am not really related to the Mermesteins of Klyachanovo, rather my great-grandmother Chaya Zlata KLEIN nee FRIEDMAN married one Shlomo MERMERLSTEIN from there (and had other kids with him). I do not see the name Shlomo on your list. Other researchers have contacted me about research on MERMELSTEIN families in the Munkacs area, but most of them were Leviim, yet my MERMELSTEIN family are not Leviim.

(Sorry for the broken links, I haven't really touched that website in a very long time. Most of my genealogical activities is on geni.com nowadays, I'm not even sure if I have the old GEDCOM files)

Good Luck,
RCK

Hi Reuven,

I'm doing research on the Mermesteins of Klyachanovo and wanted to touch base with you as I'm about to engage in some research of the European records.  I was not able to download the tree from any of the links but if you review the following to see if they are related or send it in GEDCOM format, that would be great.

I you know about available records for the town, any insight would be appreciated. I'm happy to share any information.
