Hi, Hope someone can help. I'm not sure, but believe one
part of my husband's family may have come through Castle
Garden. Does anyone know if there is a way to access this
info. Cannot find them on the Ellis Island site.
Thanks very much,
Marilyn S. in Fl.

In an attempt to locate people in non name indexed New York
state and Federal censuses, I am trying to find them in city
directories so that I can get their address. I am looking
for people in Manhattan and Bronx boroughs in 1928-1930,
Queens in 1925, and Brooklyn in 1915 and 1925. I have been
told by the New York Public Library that they only have
directories for Manhattan and Bronx for 1925 and 1931, and
that Queens and Brooklyn's were not published between 1913
and 1933. I have found people in the available directories,
but they weren't at those addresses in the census.

Were the equivalent of phone books being published in place
of the city directories and if so, where are they available?
Are there any other suggestions for finding addresses in these
years?

Thanks,

I have received this heartwarming letter >from Rabbi Glazman who is happy to=
=20
share the High Holy Days with us. Read about the Kosher Coffee Shop.=20
Whatever one's religious beliefs we can all rejoice that the Jewish=20

Dear Mrs. Beare

This year, our Jewish Brethren all over the world celebrated the High=20
Holidays. All beseeched G-D for a year of peace, love, joy and=20
success. The Jewish Community of Riga was no different. Read on to find=20
out how these festive days were celebrated in the heart of the Baltics.

This month, Chabad in Riga was most active. The month=92s many holidays=
=20
supplied the enthusiastic Jewish Community of Riga with a never-ending=20
amount of activities & sense of accomplishment. A major mailing=20
comprising of a beautifully designed Shabbat candle lighting timetable was=
=20
sent out to over 2000 Jewish families in Latvia!

Jews of Riga celebrated the holiday of Rosh Hashana in an atmosphere of=20
holiness, awe & Jewish pride. Everyone joined together in heartfelt prayer=
=20
for a happy, healthy & sweet new year. On the second day of Rosh Hashana,=
=20
the multitude of Jews quickly filled & packed Riga=92s large synagogue in=20
excitement & readiness. Two inspiring programs had been organized to cater=
=20
to adults & children=92s individual needs. All learned about the sanctity=
=20
and importance of the holiday of Rosh Hashana. An eye-catching & creative=
=20
Jewish calendar was distributed through the aid of the JDC to the countless=
=20
participants who attended this exceptional program. In a powerful symbol=20
of Jewish unity, all then gathered together and walked to the Daugava River=
=20
to perform the ritual of Tashlich. In unison, everyone recited the prayer=
=20
aloud and then listened to the powerful blasts of the Shofar being sounded=
=20
outside & in broad daylight in the streets of Riga. The powerful and=20
breathtaking effect of this successful assembly could be seen in the=20
expressions of many participants.

Besides the Holidays, Jewish residents of Riga were treated to a special=
=20
surprise this month. The opening of a kosher coffee shop =96 Lechaim! Jews=
=20
can now gather together and dine in an ambiance of elegance, class and=20
style. A wide-ranging menu of delicious kosher food is offered. Choices=20
vary >from the traditional gefilte fish to the all Israeli pita and=20
falafel. Situated in close proximity to the Jewish Community Center, it=20
greatly facilitates access for all of Riga=92s Jews & tourists too! Most=20
important, Lechaim! is a one-stop shop that offers everything a Jew would=
=20
require in Judaica & Jewish reading material: Mezuzot, Kippot, the Torah=
=20
in Russian, Jewish musical CD=92s and much more.

The holiday of Sukkot, a time of great rejoicing was also celebrated=20
here. Chabad organized a day of festivities and entertainment in Riga=92s=
=20
main park. Over 500 people participated in this grand event. The crowd=20
was treated to a special program: The musical performance of an original=20
Jewish band, a carnival comprised of diverse entertainment booths and a=20
children=92s dance performance. The intense happiness and jubilation=20
expressed by all, was so powerful that it attracted many a passerby to come=
=20
and check out this momentous event. Most important, all those who partook=
=20
in the festivities had the opportunity to perform the mitzvah of =93Lulav &=
=20
Etrog=94, which for many was the very first time! A large Sukkah was=
erected=20
as well and all participants were invited to enjoy a snack inside. The=20
event was brought to a close with a grand raffle with special prizes such=20
as a camera, a watch, a stereo system, and other grand rewards.

At =93Ohel Menachem=94, the Chabad Lubavitch Day School in Riga, many=
diverse=20
& stimulating activities were organized for the students on each day of=20
Chol Hamoed. To name a few: A magnificent Sukkah building contest, Sukkah=
=20
decorating, dining together in the Sukkah and so on. Thus, the students=20
were able to learn about this holiday in an enjoyable and productive manner.

After long months of preparations, planning & building, a long time dream=
=20
of the Jewish community has come true. Chabad Lubavitch opened the doors=20
of a state of the art women=92s Mikvah beautifully designed to fit the needs=
=20
of all. It is strategically situated in a quiet area in the center of the=
=20
city rendering it easily accessible in privacy and confidentiality. Those=
=20
wishing to lead their lives in purity and sanctity are now able to do so in=
=20
comfort and elegance. Chabad cares for the people of today and is=20
preparing for the generation of tomorrow.

from you for help and to avoid duplication of effort.

Thanks so much to all of you who responded to my request for the location of
vital records >from Brody, Ukraine (Poland) for the years 1878-1900's. There
really does not appear to be much hope - other than a couple of
possibilities which appear on the Brody Shtetlinks website, under Brody
Research (as suggested by Marjorie Rosenfeld). I am hopeful that either
some of the records I am seeking are among the "church" records already
photographed by the Mormons >from this time period, or else they are possibly
located at the civil archives in Warsaw. It appears that this is my only
hope to ever find later records of my father's family >from this area, which
may also assist me in finding living relatives >from this side of the family.

I have used Alex Dunai as a researcher in L'viv and even corresponded with
Miriam Weiner about the existence of these records, and neither one has been
able to tell me where to find this information. As I do not believe in
giving up, I will pursue the suggestions noted above and will let everyone
know in the event of my success.

A few years ago at Yad Vashem while looking for information about Rava
Ruska, I found a document with 196 pages under the file number M33/723 - all
in Russian!
Additional numbers written down on the front page were JM/10594 and
"Original Number 7021 - 67 - 78".

This was "File of what the German occupants did in Rava Ruska and Gorodok"
and "File of how Soviet citizens died in concentration camps in Rava Ruska".
The report was the work of one of the special committees set up by the
Soviet authorities to investigate war crimes committed by the Germans.
During September and October 1944 this specific committee interviewed 30
witnesses - Poles, Russians, Ukrainians and Jews.
I do not read Russian, but with the help of my students - new immigrants

from the former Soviet Union at the time - we transcribed the names and

basic information about the witnesses.
Today I was looking through some of my files and "rediscovered" this list.
If any of your relatives gave testimony for this committee,and you do not
know about about it, here is a list of the Jewish witnesses and the page
number in the file where their testimony starts.
I am quite sure that Yad Vashem is willing to photocopy the relevant pages,
for a fee, if you find something of interest.
The spelling of names should of course be taken with some caution.
I have not read the testimonies themselves.

The Jewish witnesses:
ALTKORN Guak born 1926 in Gorodok Page 186
ALTSHULER Chaja ( daughter of Shlomo) born 1925 in the village
Kamenka-Voloska Page 149
BLIASBERG Gersh/Hersh (Savley) born 1912 in Rava Ruska Page 57
CHAUSSY Jakob (son of Michael) born 1905 in Konotop Page 11

LEWKOWICZ Fanfel (son of Samuel) born 1920 in Krasnystaw Page 44
MANDAL Isaak (son of Israel) born in Gorodok) Page 169
SHAINEIGER Abraham ( son of Aron) born 1912 in Gorodok Page 188
STARKMANN Iliya (son of Simon) born 1910 in the village Brusno Page 51

WAINBAN Osher, born in Gorodok Page 174
WEINFELD Abraham (son of David) born 1906 in Drogobych Page 22
ZONE Maria (daughter of Abraham) born 1924 in Belz Page 53

Another important part of this report were seven schematical maps showing
where people had been murered around Rava Ruska.
I will tell more about these maps on another occassion.

Joyce Eastman asks where to locate records for Brody, Ukraine, especially
for the years 1865-early 1900's.

There are many different kinds of records available for Brody, some for the
years mentioned. For a rundown, see the Brody ShtetLinks site at:

http://www.shtetlinks.jewishgen.org/Brody/brody.htm

If you scroll just a bit more than halfway down the page, you'll find the
Brody Research section.

You may also want to consult the Brody Cemetery database at the ShtetLinks
site, even though the database given there is only about 50% complete. The
URL for the database is:

http://www.shtetlinks.jewishgen.org/Brody/brody_cemetery_database.htm

For more information about the database, including whether or not the
missing 50% has any information about your relatives, you can contact Dr.
Ben Solomowitz or Dr. Neil Rosenstein. See:
