old New York City photos #general

Bruce Drake <bruce.drake@...>
 

I seem to recall -- and may be in error -- that someone on the list had
cited a source where photos of old buildings in New York City could be
located and ordered as part of some kind of surveying city officials had
done over the decades. If this is the case, can someone please send me the
information? I'm hoping (against hope) to track down a photo of 10 Delancey
Street on the Lower East side circa 1915-17.

Hello,
Two remarks might make the things a little bit clearer.
1.There're no double names and, as a result, no double patronymics in
Russian language,culture and tradition. 2.On the other hand there
were double name but no patronymics in Jewish-Yiddish tradition.
When Russian bureaucracy made effort to integrate the Jews in
Russian society they needed to construct a sort of combined form of
Russian patronymic made of (double) Jewish name. Since this
phenomenon did not exist in Russian language, and there were no
grammatical rules for it any clerk could invent any form that seemed
proper to him.
One rule is firm : grandfather's name could never be a part of
patronymics, so "Naumovitch-Girshovitsh" indicated to double father's
name Nahum-Hirsh.
Since a double name was and is foreign and exotic for Russian speaker,
the Jews themselves eventually stopped to use them in everyday life
after they entered in large amounts into Russian society, while the
double name stayed be registered in official documents.
I have in my family archive documents >from 1880-s, in which my GF is
called in 3 different ways : Dov-Ber,Ber and Boris, very significant
illustration of the process.

I have found some of my grandfather's grammar school forms >from Grodno in
the late 1890s. On three different forms his name is listed as "Joseph
Naumovitch-Girshovitch Adunsky." This is the only place we have seen the
hyphenated patronymic. His father was Nahum; so was Girsh (Hirsh) his
grandfather.
Was this a common naming convention at the time? Thanks for any insights.

My great-great-grandfather's occupation is given in a German World War II

"chair master" -- can anyone shed any light on this? Your help would be most
appreciated.

Re: disasters #general

Irene Newhouse
 

Ann Rabinowitz made an important point about disasters providing possible
reasons for a family's emigration at a given time. In addition to the Jewish
Chronicle as a source of information, I'd like to add, for those who can read
German, the Allgemeine Zeitung des Judentums, which is digitized on
http://compactmemory.de
Unfortunately, there is no index. This weekly had, in its last pages, news
from Jewish Communities w/in Germany, followed by news >from the rest of the world.
In my own case, I happened to be checking for mentions of the town of Berent,
now Koscierzyna, because my maternal grandfather was born there & lived there
until he was 10. He wrote in his autobiography that his family moved >from Berent
to Breslau because his mother missed her family and city life, & I never
questioned that, because it made sense. But - the year before they moved, a girl
in Berent had been sent by her mother to deliver a goat that the family had sold
to its buyer. The girl was to come home with the money, but when she was some
hours overdue, the family panicked, went to the police & accused the town's Jews
of having murdered the daughter. The daughter eventually returned home, w/out the
money, & refused to talk about the 'missing' hours. The local authorities
arrested those who had most vociferously denounced the town's Jews, tried them,
convicted them, and fined them for false accusation. I think this incident had a
lot to do with my greatgrandparents wanting to move to a larger city with more
Jews.
