1854 Cadastral Map of Narol in the Gesher Galicia Map Room #galicia

Jay Osborn <jay.osborn@...>
 

New on the Gesher Galicia Map Room: A complete full-color lithographed
1854 cadastral map of Narol, today in southeastern Poland:
http://maps.geshergalicia.org/cadastral/narol-1854/

Despite its small size, the town of Narol had a significant Jewish
presence, evidenced in the map by the marked masonry synagogue and
the large Jewish cemetery. In 1854, the town was neatly concentrated
around a compact and orderly square, with a few other houses scattered
among fields around the Jewish cemetery, and a mill downstream of town
on the Tanew River. Land and building parcel numbers are noted
throughout the map, making the beautiful map a useful historical and
genealogical resource as well.

Images for this map were provided to Gesher Galicia by the Archiwum

Polish death certificates 1919 #galicia

Jessica Skippon <jskippon@...>
 

A year or two ago there was mention of Poland changing the rule about
death certificates being closed for 100 years. Today I have done a
general search but found nothing to indicate this has happened.

My great-grandmother, Fani BIRN died 16th March 1919, but the place is
unknown. I haven't found her birth (BORGER) or either marriage
(SCHANZER or BIRN) but she lived most of her life in Andrychau and
Bielsko Biala. Several years ago I checked both record offices but came
up empty-handed. (Perhaps this was due to the 100 year rule, but the
person with me didn't say that was the reason). My mother and uncle
both said they'd never heard that she lived anywhere else. But she is
not buried in the Jewish cemeteries in Bielsko or Andrychau, where I
have personally searched. A second Jewish cemetery in Bielsko was
cleared after WWII to build a housing estate.

Two sons lived in Berlin, but but she did not show up on the Berlin index.

A daughter, Babette JACHZEL lived for a while in Gilowice , and then
perhaps moved to Mistelbach, Austria, where her sons were. Fani is not
buried in the Jewish cemetery there.

She was a widow after her first marriage to Raphael BIRN, then she
married Viktor SCHANZER and they divorced within four years. She r
everted to using BIRN and there is no evidence of her using any other
name.

So it seems back to waiting for the 100 years to pass (2020, I guess).
Does anyone know differently, or can suggest another avenue?

Please, also note that you must also fly out of Belarus, rather than
take a bus or train out.

However, even with this in mind, quite a few things have gotten simpler.

Re: Wrong information on census records #general

Tammy:

To understand censuses, imagine the process of taking them. You don't
necessarily know who provided the information for the family. You don't
know what they might have been afraid of, or wanted to ignore in their
past. For that matter, you don't know what they *remembered* about their
past. People in those days didn't necessarily know their own dates of birth.

Now consider the census-takers. They may have spoken the language of the
residents, but perhaps they could only communicate directly with the
children who were growing up with the new language. They couldn't ask
for documentation, and had enough to do just getting to every door when
someone was at home and then copying the information they'd gathered
into the sheets we know today.

There were thousands of reasons, I'm sure, for fudging one's history on
the census. Some called themselves "German" when the German Jews of New
York tended to look down on their eastern co-religionists. Others,
having fled the Czar's army, used the names they'd used for cover--so 4
brothers might have 4 surnames. Still others simply didn't want to be
identified as members of their family any more. I've worked on a case of
this sort, and the fictions they told the census takers would take your
breath away. Most of these efforts were pointless--ever heard of anyone
arrested for fudging their census responses?

For that matter, try tracking several families through multiple
censuses. Then calculate the percentage of the time that family members
were reported as aging 10 years (or 5 in New York) between censuses.

As with any other document, you're best off approaching it as a piece of
paper with markings on it and going on >from there. Assume nothing unless
not assuming it would be absurd.

Tina Fey's Saturday Night Live census-taker sketch with Betty White is
actually something to keep in mind. I take no responsibility if it hurts
when you laugh.

was not present for the census taker to get that information. I don't know what
to do with the 1915 Census.

The second scenario is for a divorced couple. The husband moved to another
state. His wife and child stayed behind. He divorced his wife in 1920, a number
of years after his move. Yet, I found a 1930 census record that matches the
names and ages of both the ex-wife and daughter in the original home state. The
ex-husband is listed there as the husband and his age matches, too. The only
thing that does not match is the husband's occupation. He is listed as a
plumber, when in fact, he was a sewing machine salesman. In 1940, the ex wife
lists herself and her daughter without the ex husband's name, but states
herself as married, not divorced. The surname is not common. It is hard to
believe that there could be two different families with the same surname and
same given names and ages for 3 people.

What have other researchers experienced and does anyone have suggestions as to
how to handle that information?

I would greatly appreciate input >from other researchers who have experienced
something similar.

At the 1987 (60th) Academy Awards, Billy Wilder was awarded the
Irving G. Thalberg Memorial Award. His memorable acceptance
speech expressed in a concise and witty manner the dramatic
situation of immigrants, [based on his own experience in 1934]
Date & Venue : April 11, 1988; Shrine Civic Auditorium, LA.

Wilder was Austrian. He was born Samuel Wilder on 22 June 1906 in
Sucha Beskidzka, Austria-Hungary, not far >from Oswiecim (Auschwitz).
The family moved to Vienna in 1916. Later he enrolled at the University
of Vienna and graduated as journalist. In 1926 he went to Berlin,
the rest is History.

Until his death in March 2002 Billy Wilder lived in Los Angeles.
During his long career he won six Oscars, three for the best picture.
