My interest in Romanovka is the result of research into the location of a Tavern my great grandfather Chiam Itzuk Zhidovetsky (or Czhidovetsky) operated under license in Romanovka. It is the Romanovka between Nikolayev and Kherson on the Baltic. I don't know if it is the correct Romanovka - however descendents claimed they lived near Nikolayev and that is the only village I can find of the three villages with the same name in Kherson Gebernya. I assume it was in an agricultural community of some kind as he brewed the mash for whiskey and made vodka in a barn attached to the tavern. The barn was next to a small river and this coincides with the maps I have seen of the area. It is about 50 miles north of Kherson. This location was verified by Ella Goldberg Wolfe - my famous first cousin once removed (married to Bertram David Wolfe) who left living history tapes at Stanford University Hoover Center. Family name was changed to Goldberg before leaving Ukraine. Marv Goldberg GoldMsigma@aol.com
