ZADIG or ZADOC Hamburg begining 19th century #germany

Micheline GUTMANN <m.gutmann@...>
 

In Hamburg, about 1800, there was a Dr ZADIG or ZADOG
Whose daughter Rebecca married Nachum Abraham, son of Abraham DRUCKER
from Altona and Hamburg. Nachum was born in Hamburg in 1761.
Probably, Rebecca was also born in Hamburg. (their daughter married
Veitel GUTMANN.) Does anybody know about this ZADOG family?

Dear JewishGenners:

The Jewish Records Indexing - Poland project is pleased to announce that
we've recently developed an index of the Jewish vital records issued in
Biskupice, Lublin District, Poland >from the last half of the 19th century through
1904! Biskupice is about 10 miles >from Lublin and Piaski. These records are
kept in the Lublin branch of the Polish State Archives and are not available
through the Mormons. The records indexed include: 1862-1904 births, 1859-1904
marriages, and 1863-1904 deaths.

The 50 surnames most commonly found in the Biskupice Jewish records during
this period are:

ACHTERMAN, ALSPEKTOR, ALTMAN, ALTSPEKTOR, APFELD, BORENSZTAJN, BURSZTYN,
CHANDELSMAN, CHITMAN, DRELICHMAN, EPELBAUM, ERLICHMAN, FELDZAMEN, FUKS, GAJST,
GERC, GITMAN, GLIOBEN, GOLDFARB, GOLDMAN, JERLICHMAN, KERSZENBERG, KORN,

SZNAJDERMAN, SZRAJBMAN, SZYNKER, TAU, TON, TUCHSZNAJDER, WAGEN, WAJCMAN,
WERTCHAUS

If you are interested in learning more about this exciting project including
the number of times your surname may be listed in this database or other
Lublin area project databases, please contact me directly at: RobinnM@....
I'd be glad to be of help.

Searching WALDSTEIN/ROSENBERG/KATZ connections #general

Giltrip202@...
 

I am searching any information about the following people.
We have identified a Fanny/Feiga WALDSTEIN ROSENBERG (b abt 1858 - father
Sam Waldstein) Bronx, NY 1910 census as being married to Abraham Rosenberg.
There were several children : Boruch, Lena, Jennie, Isador. Frank, Minnie,
Samuel and a niece and nephew Solomon Waldstein (later WALDSTON/WOODSTONE) and
Menushe/Minnie living with them. The Rosenbergs are not traceable on later
census. Other names associated: father of Solomon Waldstein may be Hirsh
Waldstein who immigrated as a widower and later married a Rosenberg/Berg.

Because the Rosenberg names are so common it is difficult to trace them. I
am searching for any family that may be associated with these names. Also
a Morris Katz (or descendants) who immigrated to Uncle Waldstein, Worcester,
MA 1906 but with no further listings.
Please respond privately,
I thank you in advance for any consideration,

Hello. Over the last several years I have been trying to locate the only
unaccompanied children rescued >from the Holocaust by American individuals,
families and organizations. This is still a relatively unknown part of
American history. These children have become known as the One Thousand
Children, as this is the number of unaccompanied children believed to have
been rescued between 1934 and 1945 by bringing them to the US and placing
them with relatives and foster families, until and if they could be
reunited with their families. I am still looking for these "children" now in
their 70,s and 80,s. They came to America without their parents whom they
left in Europe or elsewhere to escape Nazi persecution and were up to 16
years old when they left. I would love to hear >from you if you are one of
these children and have not contacted me as yet. My thanks to so many of
you who have helped me in my search through JewishGen over the last years.

Use of search engines #general

There have been a number of queries recently seeking information about
people, places and strange items. Perhaps a few genners are unaware of
search engines such as Google (www.google.com), Yahoo, Jeeves etc. Most
recently a question on a special challah yielded 51 entries in Google many
with perfect answers. Often a moderator directs a genner to the JewishGen
databanks for a town or surname.

If any genner needs a more detailed description of how to use a search
engine, please email me privately. May I also remind those trying to
research in the UK that I have a detailed article on the various resources
available. Again, please email me for a copy.

According to the article, the cemetery dates back to 1842 and has

Those interested in Bayside Cemetery may wish to read Florence Marmor's
introduction to the Database of Galitzianers Buried in Mokom Sholom

Sholom Cemetery (aka [also known as] Bayside Cemetery).

Although the accompanying searchable database consists of 11,500 plus
persons whose death certificates indicated at least one Galician parent
and/or listed Austria or Austria-Poland, the introduction gives a glimpse
into the lives of some of New York's indigent Jews in the years 1880-1901.

"The Last Days of Buczacz" UCLA Lecture #general

Pamela Weisberger <pweisberger@...>
 

There is a lecture that may be of interest to Galitzianers, or students of
the Holocaust, taking place in Los Angeles on Sunday, November 20th at
UCLA's Faculty Center at 7:30PM.

“The Last Days of Buczacz: Judicial Perspectives on the Destruction of a
Multiethnic Galician Town”

Speaker: Omer Bartov, The John P. Birkelund Distinguished Professor of
European History at Brown University

Event Description:

This lecture will discuss the fate of the Galician town of Buczacz, now
located in Western Ukraine, during the Holocaust, as reflected in
testimonies given during trials that took place in the federal Republic of
Germany in the late 1950s and 1960s. The population of Buczacz was made up
of Jews, Poles, and Ukrainians; the interrelationship between these groups
is the main focus of Bartov’s current project on Buczacz as a representative
town in the eastern European borderlands. This lecture will be concerned
primarily with the manner in which postwar German courtrooms reconstructed
the events of the Holocaust, how they defined the role, motivation, and
relative guilt of the perpetrators, to what extent and for what reasons they
trusted Jewish witnesses, and by which means they recreated the
sociopolitical context in which such local cases of genocide occurred during
World War II.

This event is the “1939” Club Distinguished Lecture in Holocaust Studies,
cosponsored by the UCLA Center for European and Eurasian Studies.

Lectures are open to the public at no charge, but ADVANCE REGISTRATION IS
REQUIRED.

To RSVP please email cjs@... or call the RSVP line at (310)
267-5327.
Please note that seating is limited and will be available on a first-come,
first served basis. UCLA parking passes cost $8.

The UCLA Center for Jewish Studies sponsors lectures of interest to Jewish
genealogists throughout the year. For more info visit their website:

Searching: ZAWISHYNSKI, BROMBERG & GARNICK families - Wyskow & #general

Michael Trapunsky <trapunsky@...>
 

Hi all,

I'm looking for any information on the ZAWISHYNSKI, BROMBERG & GARNICK
families >from Wyskzow & Warsaw.

Shea ZAWISHYNSKI and Sarah (nee GOLDSTEIN) - my wife's great great
grandparents - lived in Wyskzow (or possibly Warsaw) in the mid 1800's.
They had the following 4 children that I am aware of:

1- Menashe ZAWISHYNSKI - had a daughter named Sarah who moved to Israel. I
know nothing else about his family or any other children.

2- Zelig ZAWISHYNSKI - married Rivka MANDELKO. They had seven children.
Their son Yakov moved to Israel while 3 of his daughters - Anna, Jenny, and
Sylvia - moved to the USA. I don't know anything about the other 3 children.

3- Yisroel Tzvi Hirsch ZAVIN (1871- 1939) - married Chana Rivka GARNICK
(1882-1946) - daughter of Shabsai Zelig & Faiga GARNICK.

Yisroel and Chana ZAVIN were my wife's great grandparents. They changed
their surname to ZAVIN when they came to the USA in 1925. They had 7 children.

4- Leah ZAWISHYNSKI (1882-1940) - married Itzik BROMBERG and had 5
children: Morris, Sarah, Yossi, Max, and Hymie. The came to the USA in the
1920's and lived in the Bronx.

If anyone knows anything about these families, or any other ZAWISHYNSKI

Re: Working Backwards from Certificate of Naturalization #general

Doug Cohen
 

After 1906, all naturalizations were in the federal district court. You
need to find the archives of the district court in Albany (nearest NARA
branch -- either Pittsfield or Varick St. in Manhattan, I would assume) and
ask them for the naturalization petition. In the petition file, there will
also be a certificate showing the ship on which he arrived. Many NARA
branches have the ship manifests, whcih will show, among other things,
nearest relative left behind in the old country. Both of these documents
will be interesting to you!!

There is a certificate number, a Petition number, and volume number on

What is easiet route to get the filing paperwork asssociated with
