It passed to Russia in the 1793 Second Partition (Litin uyezd, Podolia, Pale of Settlement; a 1765 census tallied 1,801 Jews across Starokostiantyniv, Novy Konstantinov and neighboring villages). The local Jewish community was destroyed during the German occupation of 1941–42; precise village figures were not found. <small>Sources: JewishGen Ukraine, Ukrainian Wikipedia — Новокостянтинів</small> ## People with events here | Person | Event | | --- | --- | | [[David Kalish (b.1822)]] | Born ~1822 | | [[Sarah Horodenka (b.1837)]] | Born ~1837 | | [[Moshe Leizer Iserov (b.1839)]] | Born 06/19/1839, Died 10/11/1839 | | [[Yosef Iserov (b.1841)]] | Born 01/27/1841 | | [[Yehuda Leib Kalish (b.1845)]] | Born ~1845 | | [[Berko Kalish (b.1850)]] | Born ~1850 | | [[Shimshon Greenberg (b.1862)]] | Born 1862 | | [[Leib Greenberg (b.1863)]] | Born 09/1863 | | [[Chaim Pesach Greenberg (b.1866)]] | Born ~1866 | | [[Soshe Greenberg (b.1869)]] | Born ~1869 | | [[Zev Kalish (b.1873)]] | Born ~1873 | | [[Nosson Nuta Grinbarg (b.1830)]] | Died bef 1875 | | [[Bessie Rappaport (b.1876)]] | Born ~1876 | | [[Breine Greenberg (b.1884)]] | Born ~1884 | | [[Charles Aaron Greenberg (b.1884)]] | Born ~1884 | | [[Shalom Kalish (b.1884)]] | Born ~04/03/1884 | | [[Sprintza (b.1890)]] | Born 1890 | | [[Isaac Kalish (b.1893)]] | Born 08/15/1893 | | [[Yetta Kalish (b.1910)]] | Born 01/12/1910 | | [[Golda Kalish (b.1911)]] | Born ~1911 | | [[Bernard Samuel Greenberg (b.1913)]] | Born 03/10/1913 | | [[Ruchel Greenberg (b.1920)]] | Born 1920 | | [[Rose Garfinkel]] | Born , Died |
