What is the street name on this census sheet for the BARKIN family? #general

RsH <robert.heuman@...>
 

I cannot read or figure out the street name for the BARKIN family which
is listed along the left edge of the page near the bottom. The street
for the rest of the named families seems to me to be Paris Street, but
the Barkin family is living at 3 ? Court, or so it seems to me.

If anyone knows that part of the Boston area and can figure out the
street address >from 1910 for this family it would be much appreciated.

The census sheet is at:
http://www.jewishgen.org/viewmate/viewmateview.asp?key=VM36236

The ViewMate into for the web page tells you the location of the street
name I cannot understand. You can rotate the page 90 degrees clockwise
to see it better as well.

Thanks in advance,

and Melitopole areas of Ukraine
Another line is Wolfin (also known as Volfin) >from Belarus and Ukraine

All of these people moved to Harbin China and I am struggling to find

Treasure trove of recent translations by District Research Groups #rabbinic

Ezra Magid
 

B"H Shalom All,

Very happy to report that I found a treasure trove of archive
records recently translated by the Kaunas, Panevezys, and Vilnius
District Research Groups.

These records also corroborate other evidence of MAGID family
Rabbis that learned and/or accepted work in:

Poland, Latvia, Belarus, Galicia, Russia, Ukraine, Bessarabia, and
Romania.

Additional Y Chromosome DNA test results are pending to confirm
relation to the following present day MAGID surname variants:

MAGDEN, MAGEDOWITZ, MAGIDA, MAGIDOVICH, MAGIDOWITZ, MAGIT, et al.

I found the death record for Meir MAGID, 1835 Snipiskis - 11/14/1913
Vilna. Meir was a son of Sholom Israel MAGID and a brother of Hillel
Noach "Steinshneider" MAGGID, author of "Ir Vilna". I previously
wondered whether Meir survived to see Hillel's son, Prof. David,
continue the MAGID family genealogical research and writing, e.g.,
"Ir Vilna, vol2" (published posthumously) and "Toldos Mishpacha
Ginzburg".

Prof. David and many MAGID mishpacha died of starvation during the
siege of Leningrad. Prof. David was almost finished translating
RAMBAM's "Yud Daled" >from the original Arabic when he died. David's
library, including many personal letters >from Bialik, Sholom
Aleichem, and his friend and colleague Sakharov, remain in the
collection of The Oriental Museum in St. Petersburg.

Hillel's gf was "Maggid Tzedek", Rav Phineas MAGGID. 60+ manuscripts
of his books and speeches are also held by the Oriental Museum in St.
Petersburg. Rav Pinchas was the first son of my ancestors Rav Yehuda
Aryeh Leib and Rivka [KATZENELLENBOGEN] MAGID. Their descendants
presently live in every inhabited continent.

I'm overwhelmed with the number and quality of translations that I've
already found for relatives in my tree, in the Kaunas, Panevezys, and
Vilnius District Research Group translations ( http://goo.gl/6O33jP ).
I've also found hundreds of records for other rabbinic families in my
tree that married with MAGID including :

LURIA, SOLOVEITCHIK, KATZENELLENBOGEN, GINZBURG, KLATZKIN, SHACH,
ROZOVSKY, RAGOLER / MAGID, RIVLIN / MAGID, POUPKO / KAGAN [Chafetz
Chaim], ORELOVICH, BISHKO, BLOCH, GORDON, GRODZENSKY, KOOK / KATZ /
MAGID, et al.

This is good news for all Litvak and Rabbinic researchers. A recently
translated death record for Malka Hinda [bas HaRav Chaim Ozer]
GRODZINSKY answers some previously unresolved questions about Malka,
and possibly raises more questions. As the daughter of the leader of
pre-Shoah Litvak Jews, this translation should have broad interest.

NONE of these records are available presently without membership in a
District Research Group. Now is a great time to join one or more
District Research Groups. Not only for exclusive access to recently
translated records, but also because there is a Dollar for Dollar
matching pledge that will expire concurrently with the 2014 calendar
year charitable deduction deadline. None of the above is tax advice.
Please consult a tax professional for advice applicable to personal
circumstances.

Re: All Russia 1897 Census and the Latvia Deaths Database #latvia

The "image" is the page in the database (although not always the page
number that appears on the page). When you get into the database on
Raduraksti, the top-right corner of the page says 1/32. Change the 1
to a 23 and press the enter/return key on your keyboard.

If that does not work, go to
http colon slash slash img1 dot lvva-raduraksti dot lv slash rabinati
slash 005024-0002-000597 slash LVVA-005024-0002-000597-0023-M3 dot jpg
[or http://tinyurl.com/nv6wlmj --Mod.]

(I have a personal website www dot competitivegenealogy dot info slash
VitalRecordsofJewsinLatvia dot html [or http://tinyurl.com/pq9ynhl
--Mod.] that links directly to images of the individual pages, but the
Latvian archives considers that hacking and will not let Jewishgen do it.)

You should see a page where the left column is blank and the next
column has the numbers 42, 43, 44, 45, and 46. This means that
everyone listed is the same gender. If they were not, then the
numbers for one gender would be in the left column and the numbers for
the other gender would be in the next column.

The Latvia Deaths database on Jewishgen says the record you want is
record number M42. This means the record you want will have a 42 in
the column for males (in this case, the second column >from the left).
So the record you want is the first one on the page (the one with a
42).

You will notice that the image seems to be a book open with two facing
pages visible, each with the left column blank and the next column
numbered 42 to 46. Both pages have the same information. The left
hand page is in Russian. The right hand page is in Yiddish (using
Hebrew letters). The numbers should be the same; only the non-numeric
text should be different.

I also notice that the dates don't seem match with the Latvia Deaths
database on Jewishgen.

LURIA, SOLOVEITCHIK, KATZENELLENBOGEN, GINZBURG, KLATZKIN, SHACH, ROZOVSKY, RAGOLER / MAGID,
RIVLIN / MAGID, POUPKO / KAGAN [Chafetz Chaim], ORELOVICH, BISHKO, BLOCH, GORDON, GRODZENSKY,
KOOK / KATZ / MAGID, et al.


This is good news for all Litvak and Rabbinic researchers. A recently translated death record for Malka Hinda
[bas HaRav Chaim Ozer] GRODZINSKY answers some previously
unresolved questions about Malka, and possibly raises more questions. As the daughter of the leader of
pre-Shoah Litvak Jews, this translation should have broad interest.

NONE of these records are available presently without membership in a District Research Group. Now
is a great time to join one or more District Research Groups. Not only for exclusive access to recently
translated records, but also because there is a Dollar for Dollar matching pledge that will expire
concurrently with the 2014 calendar year charitable deduction deadline. None of the above is tax advice.
Please consult a tax professional for advice applicable to personal circumstances.

Thank you to all of our wonderful volunteers and donors.

Treasure trove of recent translations by District Research Groups #general

Very happy to report that I found a treasure trove of archive records
recently translated by the Kaunas, Panevezys, and Vilnius District
Research Groups.

These records also corroborate other evidence of MAGID family Rabbis
that learned and/or accepted work in:

Poland, Latvia, Belarus, Galicia, Russia, Ukraine, Bessarabia, and Romania.

Additional Y Chromosome DNA test results are pending to confirm
relation to the following present day MAGID surname variants:

MAGDEN, MAGEDOWITZ, MAGIDA, MAGIDOVICH, MAGIDOWITZ, MAGIT, et al.

I found the death record for Meir MAGID, 1835 Snipiskis - 11/14/1913
Vilna. Meir was a son of Sholom Israel MAGID and a brother of Hillel
Noach "Steinshneider" MAGGID, author of "Ir Vilna". I previously
wondered whether Meir survived to see Hillel's son, Prof. David,
continue the MAGID family genealogical research and writing,
e.g., "Ir Vilna, vol2" (published posthumously) and "Toldos Mishpacha
Ginzburg".

Prof. David and many MAGID mishpacha died of starvation during the
siege of Leningrad. Prof. David was almost finished translating
RAMBAM's "Yud Daled" >from the original Arabic when he died. David's
library, including many personal letters >from Bialik, Sholom Aleichem,
and his friend and colleague Sakharov, remain in the collection of The
Oriental Museum in St. Petersburg.

Hillel's gf was "Maggid Tzedek", Rav Phineas MAGGID. 60+ manuscripts of
his books and speeches are also held by the Oriental Museum in St.
Petersburg. Rav Pinchas was the first son of my ancestors Rav Yehuda
Aryeh Leib and Rivka [KATZENELLENBOGEN] MAGID. Their descendants
presently live in every inhabited continent.

I'm overwhelmed with the number and quality of translations that I've
already found for relatives in my tree, in the Kaunas, Panevezys, and
Vilnius District Research Group translations ( http://goo.gl/6O33jP ).
I've also found hundreds of records for other RABBINIC families in my
tree that married with MAGID including :

LURIA, SOLOVEITCHIK, KATZENELLENBOGEN, GINZBURG, KLATZKIN, SHACH,
ROZOVSKY, RAGOLER / MAGID, RIVLIN / MAGID, POUPKO / KAGAN [Chafetz
