Zietsers (from Odessa) in Israel?

Well, I decided to post this message just in case, my mother expressed a vague doubt this morning that that part of our family might have relocated to Israel, they most likely did not but if they did and can read this message, then we would be glad to hear from them.

I am talking about Peter, Valentina, Alexander, and Igor Zietsers from Odessa, born roughly in 1934, 1939, and some time in 1960s and 1970s respectively. Valentina's maiden last name is Faidel, she is a daughter of two doctors, both of whom died quite early. Her father was a neurologist or something, her mother Sophya Osipovna Milyavskaya is a sister to Isaak Milyavskiy, my mother's father's father.

The last time we saw that family was in 1980s, and I don't know whether my mother told them that we were leaving for America but as I started my genealogical search a few months ago and even posted one family photo in our local newspaper, (the second one, with God's help, will make it there tomorrow), I realized that there are a lot of family photos that I and my mother do not have- like the ones of Isaak, his wife-Fanya, his sister, Sonya and other siblings. My mother told me that Valya was gracious enough to let us view those photos in Odessa when we saw her there the last time (I don't remembber a squat from that) but we never discussed copying those photos for ourselves. Now I even am ready to pay a reasonable amount of money to that family if they let me do it, and these are not the only family photos by the way that we are missing but you understand what I am talking about.

Our life did not work out in the United States, and we are leaving for Israel no later than October 23rd, so if Valya wishes to get in touch with us after that, she can write to my father who will remain in Birmingham:

Mark Bronshteyn,
313 Dulaine Cove,
Birmingham, Alabama 35210,
United States of America

or if she wishes to write us while we are in Birmingham, she can forward her correspondence to:

Gelena Bronshteyn,
P. O. Box 59842,
Birmingham, Alabama 35259,
United States of America

Thank you.
