Re: The JewishGen Family Finder:

Sorry, I don't know anything about this. I'm not really related the MERMELSTEINs from Klyachanovo/Klichanovo (near Munkatch), but rather my great-grandmother married a MERMELSTEIN after my great-grandfather died. I realize that Dorobratovo is somewhat close to Klyachanovo, but its hard to assume a connection, especially because MERMELSTEIN is a fairly common surname. Are the MERMELSTEIN family you are looking into Leviim? The one that my g-grandmother married are not Leviim.

Hi Reuven,
Hoping this finds you in good health and safety.
I am hoping that you can help me solve a mystery. I have been researching a thread of my family using Yad Vashem's search database. A number of our relatives entries were submitted by a survivor named Ze'ev Mermelstein who at the time, lived in Israel. He listed the relationship to our relatives as "מוקיר". I am trying to find out more about this wing of our family and am curious to discover the connection between Ze'ev and the Mauskopf/Klein family from Dorobratovo (now Ukraine, then Czechoslovakia). Do you by any chance know anything of Zeev Mermelstein?

Thank you for your help.
Rebecca
