Joseph moved from Bessarabia to Russian Ukraine.

The Groveman family mostly lived, in the 19th century, in Bessarabia. The story related to me by a 90+ year old Groveman was that the family originally came to Bessarabia from Spain. He told me that, before he left Bessarabia for the United States, his uncle told him to never forget that he was Sephardic and the family came from Spain. Their surname, Groveman was not their original name but was one that was adopted in Bessarabia. Many of the people who lived there were Sepahrdic. Indeed, many of the Chalek family lived in Bessarabia as did many Jews who were Sephardic, JLB 1-2021. View All
