The name Goldman appeared on my family tree. The theatrical entrepreneur Emanuel
Warner (aka Lazarsfeld) married a Margrete Goldman and they lived in a house
called Beryldene at 263 Golbourne Terrace, Hampstead. Emanuel was involved with
his father-in-law's business and was arrested and held as a enemy alien for the
duration of the first world war, and died in Switzerland supposedly on his way
home. This story is rather tragic as he was the only member of his family born in
England rather than Austria. He had three young children and I have not succeeded
in tracing what happened to the family after the war.

It has come to my attention that I made an error in the earlier post
about the GOLDMAN family regarding my source for the date of death of
Aaron GOLDMAN.

In fact, Aaron GOLDMAN's death is not listed on the Jewish Worldwide
Burial Registry (JOWBR). However, I did a search on the UK database on
JewishGen and found his Edmonton cemetery record among the JGSGB
records. The plot number is T55
http://search.jgsgb.org.uk/alluk/buriald.asp?br=367385

It is strange that his death is listed here but not on the JOWBR

Someone has found a tailor named Aaron GOLDMAN living at 48 British
St, Bow, London E3 in the 1938 English phone book.
However, in the 1940 directory only his wife Esther is listed as
living at that address. Where could Aaron have disappeared to?
He lived for another 17 years.

I have personally thanked those researchers who responded to my recent
request for information.

Moshe REITBERGER lived on Kibbutz Lohamei Hagetaot and the kibbutz has
a memorial page for him. It is in Hebrew of course, and my own Hebrew is
insufficient to translate. Google Translate gave me a rather crude translation.

Would anyone be willing to provide a better translation of the memorial
page? I can send you the Google translation to make it
easier and faster.

Thank you so much.

I am clearly overlooking some obvious tool here, but I cannot find the sailing
date of the Cap Polonio, which arrived in Buenos Aires on 3 March 1930.

When would it have left Hamburg?

I wanted to add some information to this posting >from Martha Forsyth:

"Ari Dale wrote: My biggest obstacle when I am reviewing sources is knowing where
the village or town mentioned in the source is located."

Martha wrote: "I don't think this is unachievable at all - except
that a system would be worked out so that the map did not get so
cluttered that it became useless. Probably a Wiki site is all that's
necessary. The maps used in many of the infoboxes on Wikipedia are
.svg files - Scalable Vector Graphics, which means that if you enter
coordinates, the dot simply appears at the correct location. The maps
described by Pamela Weissberger sound like they're using that
technology."

Take a look at HistoryGeo.com a (commercial) family history site that
has indexed over 2 million United States landowners in almost 40,000
US land maps: http://www.historyGeo.com .

You are able to search by surname for free and see results for any
land maps on which these names are present along with a thumbnail of
the map. Clicking on the maps provides more details plus a list of
other surnames appearing on the map. Their interface (if you
subscribe) shows a list of indexed names and when you click on the
name the exact location of the land plot is shown by a dot on the
screen. This resource provides the level of annotation referred to
earlier and is something we'd eventually like to duplicate in the
Galician maps, but it is the result of specific software developed by
HistoryGeo.

I have no connection with this service, but find it an interesting
addition to the US genealogical research scene.

If you think your relatives bought or owned US land, you can also
search the records of the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) for free
here:

http://www.glorecords.blm.gov/search/default.aspx

They provide live access to Federal land conveyance records for the
Public Land States, including image access to more than five million
Federal land title records issued between 1820 and the present. We
also have images related to survey plats and field notes, dating back
to 1810. The HistoryGeo site is a complementary resource in that they
provide a greater level of detail in their maps, but searching first
on the BLM site is a good start. Many Jewish immigrants had land
grants throughout the United States and you might be surprised at some
of the results that come up >from your searching.

- "The Next Generation - Genealogical and Archival Databases: Retooling
the Tools."

Sunday, September 9, 2012 at 2:00 P.M.
Center for Jewish History
15 West 16th St.
New York, NY

Speakers: Miriam Weiner and Michael Glickman

This program is a joint presentation by Miriam Weiner, President of the
Routes to Roots Foundation (RTRF), and Michael Glickman, Chief Operating
Officer of the Center for Jewish History (CJH), featuring a visual
presentation of the new collaboration between RTRF and CJH.

The RTRF website includes a comprehensive searchable archive database
covering document holdings relevant to Jewish life in five countries (and
portions of two others) in Central and Eastern Europe, an image database,
and several searchable name databases for various localities.

The CJH website features its Online Public Access Catalog (OPAC) which
integrates the holdings of CJH's five partners into one searchable database,
as well as separate pages for each of the five partners and a page for the
Ackman & Ziff Family Genealogy Institute.

The lecture will be the first public viewing of the new OPAC database with
the integration of the RTRF archive and image databases, thereby expanding
access to valuable historical and genealogical material >from both
collections. This collaboration is the first of several which are in process
at CJH. Mr. Glickman will also discuss the robust efforts underway to expand
access to digital material and the collections of the CJH partners.

The program is free to members of JGSNY and CJH; there is a $5 charge for
guests.

The Ackman & Ziff Family Genealogy Institute at CJH will be open at
11:00 A.M. with access to research materials and computers.

Lists of Russian casualties >from WWI have become available for the years 1914
1916. This project endeavors to create databases containing the names
of Jewish soldiers and all pertinent information and make them available
to the Jewish genealogical community. It is not yet known if additional lists
covering the rest of 1916 through 1918 will be scanned and made available

Although there are over 50,000 pages of records many of them contain no
names identified in the records as being Jewish. Many of the gubernias also
did not have the sizeable Jewish populations prevalent in others. For gubernias
with sizable numbers of Jews the ratio of non-Jewish to Jewish soldiers
listed is still rather large. The bottom line here is this project
is not that large for any one SIG as the Jewish soldiers listed (estimated
amount to a few to possibly a few thousand for the largest Jewish areas
Gubernii which represent Polish areas are included in these listings.

The lists obtained so far are contained in over 60 books most of which are
over 300 pages each. The lists were compiled by gubernia with each list
containing an issue number.

The following fields are contained in the records:
Family Name
Given Name
Patronymic
Rank
Religion
Marital Status
Gubernia (where the list was compiled)
Uyezd (district where soldier originated)
Town (town where soldier originated)
Status
Date

The project has been organized in an open format. The idea is to make the
template available to anyone interested in working on records. The lists will
also be made available to those signing up and the desire is that SIGs will
establish groups to work on records for their gubernias of interest
ultimately uploading them to JewishGen for dissemination. It will be up to
the SIGs or other groups to enlist individuals capable of properly working
with these records. The good news regarding these lists is they were printed
and are not handwritten making the work much easier.

A template established for this project has fields for all data contained
in the original records plus a comments column to allow for notes.
The first records have been translated for Bessarabia courtesy of Yefim
Kogan. A sample of these translations is contained in the template.
Obtaining access to the records

It is the hope that each SIG will assign a coordinator(s) and they should j
join the Yahoo Group =93Russian Jewish Fallen Soldiers of WWI=94. This group
has been formed to bring together individuals and groups interested in
participating. The template as well as links to the records will be available
on the site. It is anticipated a spreadsheet may be developed to track who
has signed up to work on records and prevent duplication of effort. If a SIG
signs up to coordinate activity for all records for an entire gubernia or
gubernii the project will be greatly simplified. Beyond providing the
template and access to the records the SIGs or other interested groups
will manage finding their volunteers gathering and proofing the translation
ns once completed and submitting to JewishGen for upload.

Having just read the paeon of praise for City Directories....I feel
impelled to speak. Do NOT just accept what you find online without
question!!! I recently found a page in the files for one town in, oh
let's say 1932 (I don't remember the year). Then I'm looking at a
listing in a different town some 18 miles away in 1935, and something
looked oddly familiar.....the two images are identical!! (No, I did not
check the rest of the files to see how far this damage went - that's an
oops on my part. But I did report the problem as well as I could.)

Be sure you have what you think you have.

Dear All,

I don't remember anyone posting about the fact that the Vienna Library has
digitized and put online for free the city directories for Vienna, Austria

from 1859 to 1942:

You click on the title and then click on the years you want.

Enjoy digging!
