U.S. Ambassador to Romania has family roots in Chisinau

U.S. Ambassador to Romania Mark Henry Gitenstein attended the inauguration of a kindergarten in the county of Constanta (Romania), which was rebuilt by U.S. soldiers at the Mihail Kogilniceanu military base in the area.

Mr. Gitenstein said during the inauguration that he had family roots in the cities of Braila (Romania) and Chisinau (the Moldovan capital).

Adevarul writes that Mr. Gitenstein said that his paternal grandparents were from Braila and Chisinau. [the link to the Adevarul story was broken, but a cached version is available if you Google "Mark Henry Gitenstein" and "Chisinau."
