4 of 5 which could be misconstrued as "Protestant" by a Roman Catholic majority. Are you aware of any symbolism? such as a plain, straight cross with the south being longer, or a 4 equal-sided cross? or the fish? Such as jewelry, book inlays, etc.? Evangelicals don't wear crosses as jewelry but maybe the "greek fish" instead. Hope this helps.

From the Geographical Dictionary of Poland:
===Radautz (Ger), Radowce (Pol) had three churches: Roman (Latin) Catholic, Greek Catholic and Greek Orthodox. (There were many Germans, who probably were Evangelical Augsburg).
===Czernowitz (Ger), Czerniowce (Pol), Chernivtsi (Ukr) had two churches: Greek Catholic and Evangelical Augsburg

Thanks for your reply. My father was Polish and all I can recollect is that he was Protestant. He did marry a Roman Catholic lady and changed his religion at that point. She died in 1939. My father came to Scotland with the Polish Army where he met my mother.

Do you have a particular Protestant denomination known? Many people I talk to from present-day Poland consider Orthodox to be Protestant, and there is Orthodoxy in both Ukraine and Romania. We don't consider the Eastern Orthodox Church as Protestant, but your source may.

Hello
Is anyone able to give me the name of the Protestant Parish in which Radautz would have been located in 1900. This is the Radautz now in Romania.
Also the Protestant Parish for Czernowitz around 1870. Czernowitz now in the Ukraine. Trying to trace birth records of my father and grandfather.
