Hi...can anyone find any info on Arthur Meninsky, maybe from France??

Thanks in advance

Which century?

How have you come across the name?

Also, what research have you done yourself - no point in duplicating

Have you tried googling?

Meninsky, sometimes Moninsky, seems to be Russian.

Edit: Russian and/ or Ukrainian

Hi...

I received this from a cousin in USA....this is all l have on this name. I have done some research into my maiden name Meninsky in the past, but not for a long time!

Hi Jude: How are you? Carla just texted me that she received mail forwarded from her parents with a letter to her dad (who is deceased) postmarked from CAEN, FRANCE looking for heirs of Arthur Meninsky. Do you know anything about this?

Its Ukraine, my grandfather Bernard Meninsky came from Ukraine.

Haven’t we looked at meninsky before ?

Yes, Jude has many earlier threads , but mostly about paintings by her uncle Phillip and grandfather Bernard, and not about her family tree.
If you also Google their names, it's a very interesting family.

There hasn't been any previous mention of an Arthur .

These are the only threads I can see which are about family rather than paintings:

The family are in at least four trees on Ancestry - no Arthur.

Don’t know if this helps

So was Arthur a brother ?

He was apparently Bernard (Barney)'s brother and Phillip's father..

Surely the solution is to respond to the letter asking for more information........... :-S :-S

I'm assuming this hasn't been done, or the OP would have mentioned it

Hi Everyone...many thanks for trying to find Arthur. Issac was my great GF, Bernard my g/father, David my father and Phillip Davids brother (my uncle). They all came from Konotop Ukrfaine.

I will send the info from Shirley to my cousin in NY usa and wait for her response.

Many thanks
