Bukovina was incorporated in Galacia ( a neighbouring province) in 1786 but made a separate crownland in 1849 and finally ceded to Romaina after WWI. (From the Exner book from SGS in Regina July 2000)

Bukowina had warm summers and cold winters.

Information received from Ev Vulvoet in August 2000:

From what my dad told me, (he came from Molodia, the other side of > Czernowitz. Like Laura said from Rosch you could see Molodia but you had to > drive back into Czernowitz then take another road out.) it was very > beautiful in the summer,. Very much like our Okanagan Valley in B.C. > Orchards, fields of grain and lots of wood area. The summer was warm and > the winters could be very cold. Many of the people who lived near the city > had large nice homes but furniture was sparse (unless you had lots of > money). One lady recalled her memoirs of leaving Bukowina. Saying it was > very green and the white stuccoed houses were very inviting, especially > since they had no idea how primitive the homesteads. No houses, etc., just > barren prairieland!! I know many were very discouraged and would have gone > back to Bukowina if they had had the money!!

>From the "Ohio Repository" (Canton, OH), 28 March 1834, page 3:

Distressing accounts are given in the German papers of a famine in the Eastern part of Russia. The Swabian Mercury give the following letter from Odessa, dated Nov. 22.

"The general dearth becomes very alarming, and it is impossible to foretell what may ensue. Every article that forms the food of man is becoming daily more & more scarce & dear. Meat alone is cheap, and this is because the graziers are obliged to kill their cattle for the want of fodder. There are whole villages in the environs of Odessa, that are entirely deserted, the inhabitants having left them in the hope of finding bread elsewhere. The Sea of Azoff is no longer navigable, so that we have no chance of supplies from the opposite shore. Immediately after receiving dispatches from St. Petersburg, Count Worenzo went off in haste to Ekalberinoslay, where the famine has already caused some deplorable disasters."
