History of Argentina Jews      http://www.geocities.com/bargfamily/argentina.html _____________________________________________

I did a general/non specific search for you. I found people with your ancestral surnames, Zendler/Sendler, emigrating from Zhytomir, Elizabetgrad and Bialyczerkov and Keitelman/Ghitelman, emigrating from Vohlyn & Podolia Regions, all places in what is Ukraine today.

As per Ellis Island Records I found a young, 15 yr old Iser Ghitelman, coming from Buenos Aires in 1923. He was going to his uncle, Barnet Melnitsky , living in New York. Iser originally came from Ostropol. ___________________________________________________

Ostropol was an important Jewish center in the 17th century.

From late 18th century to 1921 Ostropol > Novograd-Volynsky > Vohlynskaya (Vohlyn) gubernia > Russian Empire. In 1900 there were 2,714 Jews living in this town. From 1921-1939 the Vohlyn Region was called Wolynskie wojiwodstwo and Ostropol was in Kamenets-Podolski under Reconstituted Poland’s domain. After World War 2 Ostropol was merely a small town on the Sluts River > Khmelnytska Region > part of SSR Ukraine, under Soviet domain until 1991, when Ukraine became independent. Today Ostropol is called Staryj Ostropil > Starokostyantynivskij raion/district > Khmelnytska oblast/region > Ukraine, zip code 31146. Coordinates are 49.48-27.34.

One of the largest Jewish Genealogy sites shows immigrants with Keitelman/Ghitelman surname:

13 went to England

19 went to Pennsylvania in USA

30 went to Connecticut in USA

19 went to Israel

19 went to Quebec, Canada

In order to do an accurate search, you will have to locate immigration records for Ester Zendler and Felipe Keitelman.

Do you have any documents?

A good place for you to start is to join your local Jewish genealogy organization.
