If Moriah Hart sees this, or anyone else who served there, maybe you can help me

I stumbled into the web site while seeking info on a town called Ribnitsa (Ribnitza? Ribnica?) where ny late father lived as a lad ... it was in Besarabia, he told us (then; later Moldovia, now Moldova, right?)

Could I visit there? Would I be apt to find local records?

What can you tell be about transportation -- from a city to which I could fly?

thanks
