Related to: General Bessarabia,
Chapter 19. Our Cherkes Ancestors.
This chapter is part of a book FROM BEREZNA AND KRUPA TO BOSTON: THE BEGGELMAN AND KARAS FAMILIES AND THEIR ROOTS, written by Yale Wolf Richmond, who was a Cultural Attache at the US embassy in Moscow in late 1960s, author of many books.
Chapter 19 and other chapters in the whole book (please read Chapter 18 - Bessarabia) are very moving stories about families from Kelmentsy, Brichany, Lipkany, Khotin uezd and other places. You will find many historical references on Jewish and Russian history, meaning of Jewish names and more.
Yale Richmond gracefully offered us not only a chapter, but the entire book, July, 2013.
