Acknowledgments
and Thanks
To The Philadelphia Jewish Genealogical Society
for their recommendation of two genealogists who made
all of this research possible.
Elaine Kolinsky, who went to Montifore Cemetery
in Philadelphia and discovered our Zavelsky ancestors
names along with the multitude of research she did in
the various Philadelphia archives. Also, she taught me
how to do "proper" research.
Miriam Weiner,
who found all of the documents in Ukraine and created
family trees from them, and who tediously planned and
implemented our visit to the Zavelsky ancestral towns
in Ukraine. Miriam discovered my second cousins living
in Russia and Ukraine.
To Vitaly Chumak, who guided us so professionally
through our ancestral towns, made the plans for us to
meet our new relatives and just made our Ukrainian trip
the most memorable of our lives.
Without the above, there would not be a Zavelsky Family
Story.
To Reece Franklin for finding me and bringing in
the information on the Zavelsky/Franklin family, and for
his support and being there for me throughout this project
and now.
Last, but far from least, to my husband Alan who
has helped and supported me in every way throughout the
seven years of this project.
