ViewMate #73362 Do you recognize this item? #general

https://www.jewishgen.org/ViewMate/viewmateview.asp?key=73362

My wife inherited the pin/brooch shown in the above ViewMate image >from her
grandmother. Does anyone recognize the design of the item or knows what the
lettering may stand for?

We thought that these may be a person's initials, but these are not the
correct initials for the grandmother. We wondered if the letters may possibly
stand for the name of some society or similar organization.

Thanks for any feedback.

Rabbi David of Novarodok-Family name ? and descendants? #general

Yonatan Ben-Ari
 

Researching the family name of a Rabbi David (son of R' Moshe of Kletzk) who
was the Rabbi of Novarodok during the 18th century who authored a book
"Galya Mesechet".

I would like to make contact with his descendants to clarify possible cousin
hood.. One daughter married RABINOWITZ who published Rw David's above book. A
son (Meyer?) married a daughter of HURWITZ (>from Minsk?) and he adopted the
HURWITZ family name.

TIA

JewishGen Success Stories and preparing periodic newsletters, and we
congratulate her, and thank her, for assuming this additional level of
responsibility.

Need Help with Unknown Towns in Galicia #galicia

Claudia Bullock <cbulloc8@...>
 

My grandfather, Morris Newman, indicated on his Connecticut
Naturalization papers that he was born in Satin, Austria, and that his last
place of residence before immigrating to the U.S. was Frassin, Austria.
(Actually, the document clearly says 'Satin', but for some reason, the
Ancestry record lists it as 'Stain.') He also says on his World War I draft
registration that he was born in Saiten, Galicia, Austria.

Now, my grandfather was the oldest of 4 brothers, and his younger
brothers are all known to have been born in Czortkow. What is puzzling
is that there doesn't seem to be any town called Saiten, or Satin, or
Stain. So, I am looking for advice on what town this could possibly be,
as I would really like to be able to identify the town of my grandfather's
birth.

Thanks,

Claudia (Cohn) Bullock

Correction to link (European Union) European Jewish Cemeteries Initiative Launches New Website With Surveys of 1500 Jewish Cemeteries #ukraine

Jan Meisels Allen
 

Yesterday, I posted about the new European Jewish Cemeteries Initiative new
website and I guess the link >from the earlier posting about My Heritage did
not clear and spell check did not pick it up, and it was included rather
than the correct ESJF website link. That link is
https://www.esjf-surveys.org/ The ESJF has mapped 1500 cemeteries in 5
countries: Greece, Lithuania, Moldova, Slovakia and the Ukraine. This is a
work in progress-not all cemeteries in all countries are yet completed. The
article will explain which are done and which are in progress.

As each cemetery is completed and processed aerial photographs, historical
data and geographical data will be uploaded to the website.

As previously reported, the European Union provided 800,000 Euros for the
project. The ESJF started work in 2015 by surveying and fencing Jewish
cemeteries to protect them >from destruction. With the EU grant, it has
expanded its mission using drone technology and historical research to map
the 1500 Jewish cemetery sites in the 5 aforementioned countries. To read
more about the ESJF see: https://www.esjf-surveys.org/about-us/

Thank you to Amy Wachs, JGS Cleveland for pointing out the error

Need Help: Baker St. School, London's East End #unitedkingdom

Madeleine Isenberg
 

Could anyone tell me just where the Baker St. School was located and
if anyone has a photo of it, please? Born in November 1918, this was
the first school my mother attended in the early 1920s. She said she
attended there until she was 9 years old, (ca. 1928), and the it was
taken over by a the Catholic diocese and became a private Catholic
School, at which time she switched schools.

She has been gone for over 6 years now, but I have been working on her
story for years. I'd love to figure out just how far she had to walk
from 5 Philpot Street, when little kids could walk by themselves to
school. It was a question I never thought to ask her.

Thanks in advance,
