a decade ago, when my grandfather was still alive, and the synagogue
building was still standing at the time but rather derelict. I don't
know what the status is now, and I guess the best bit is for someone who
lives in London to look up Vine Street on the map and then go there to
see if the building still exists. I remember that it wasn't such a
long street.

My great-grandparents, who belonged to Vine Street were buried in Edmonton
Burial Grounds. I understand that this belongs to the Federation of
Synagogues, but I don't know whether the Federation have other places.

My grandfather's name was Morris (Moshe) ZIANTS, had seven older sisters.
His parents were Marks (Mordechai) and Alice (Alka) ZIANTS, and the name
was originally ZENETSKI >from the shtetl of Narewka (Narifka) near

these families (at least some thereof) also lived in the East End of

It is normal practise at UK ceremonies to read the complete ketuba in
Aramaic (not Hebrew) and to read an extract in English so I guess it is a
normal one. If the year is 1899, write to the London Beth Din as they
probably issued it. Find the LBD website for further details of their
address. I should add that, in my experience, emails to them go unanswered.
A good contact for gennes at LBD is Charles Tucker.

A representative of the FBI spoke at a NY JGS meeting on FBI files and how

1998. The lecture would be covered in the Spring '98 edition of DOROT, the
NYJGS journal. I'm sorry I don't have my back issues at hand.

The piece MAY have been picked up and summarized in AVOTAYNU. To ask the

I believe that the agent said one has to prove relationship to a person in

Dear Russesll

As you are in the London suburbs, I suggest you get hold of the addresses
of the major synagogue organisations (United Synagogues,Federation, etc),
who will be able to tell you whether they can grant permission, or whether
you have to ask individual synagogues. When I have spoken to people at
the Board of Deputies and the United Synagogue Beth Din (about cemeteries)
the attitude of the people in question was very helpful indeed.

I have been told that the Jewish Yearbook, published towards the end of
the Christian calendar year, is a very useful source of addresses and
other information, although I have never seen one. It is published by
Valentine Mitchell in outer London (it's an 0181 telephone number) and
I believe is usually advertised in the Jewish Chronicle.

Hope this helps,

Names on Tombstones #general

AZ61BROOK@...
 

Hello to all.

I am having a problem figuring out family relationships on a family
cemetery plot.

I went looking for my GGF's grave, and found it on the family plot of his
Daughter-in-law. His son Benjamin CHEIFETZ married Ida ABRAMSON.

This is the confusing part: Ida's stone reads: IDA CHEIFETZ and underneath
her name is the name BRINEN. I assumed that ABRAMSON was her maiden name.
Her Hebrew/Jewish name is written as Chasia Hinde Bat Z'ev Wolf. This
would mean that her father's name was Wolf, correct? This would correspond
to the Wolf ABRAMSON on the plot, who has always been assumed to be her
father.

Next to her is Phillip BRINEN . Phillip's Hebrew/Jewish name is Chaim
Pesach. So, this is NOT her father. He can't be anyway because of the
ages. Is he Ida's second husband?

If someone remarries, after the death of a spouse, would they put their
"second" married name on the stone as well?

Another question. My GGF's grave lies on the corner of this family plot.
His second wife is not there with him. I was hoping to find her there,
since no one knows her name!

There are other women buried on this plot, could it be that she is one of
them and that she was not laid beside him? Wouldn't she be buried with his
last name?? Would she be buried somewhere else?

I tried to make myself as clear as I could, I hope someone can offer some
assistance!

Thanks in advance,
Bonnie Miller
