Romanian question?

Question

I was told that my relative was from Iasi Romania.Iasi was also called Jassy Romania.Im finding information that makes me think he might have been from Vaslui Romania.Are these places close to each other?Is it possible for someone from Iasi to say they were from Vaslui?

Answer 1

go to google Earth or similar program and look up the names. Alternately google them on the internet.

Answer 2

Romanian emigration didn't start until after 1900. So the good news is that your relative had to disclose both his place of birth and his place of last residence when he entered the US. The other good news is that it's all public information.

You don't list the year of emigration, but if you want to email me the details, I can help you find the records to clear up the situation.
