The town is located at 48°17'N; 25°56'E.

Researchers interested in the Czernowitz-Sadagora area will find in the Czernowitz-L Discussion Group website a diverse and extensive collection of material concerning the Jewish community, as well as a wealth of information on the cemetery, including historic and contemporary photographs along with images of burial register pages.
In fact, researchers considering a collaborative project for their shtetl will also find excellent ideas that may be adapted.
