Traces of the Past

As the ancestral town of the Finelt-Weinstein-Lotterstein-Frantzuskij families , many stories about life in Ol'Gopol and nearby Bershad were provided by my father, Aron Finelt, who along with his family left Bershad about 1917.

I invite fellow Ol'Gopoler's to share their family stories here.
