Hivniv

Hivniv is the name of the Ukranian village where my father, Joseph "Yehuda" Remer was born. The shtetle is also known as Ugniev in Ukranian or Uchnow in Polish.

During our research of the name "Remer", we have been able to reach as far back as 1800. The web site will continue to provide ongoing research material as it becomes available.
