This is just a good example of the power of wildcard searching which hopefully
everyone can get some clues for their more difficult problems.

Here's my example of how using wildcards solved a very difficult problem:

There's a grave in the cemetery where the name and date is clear and I confirmed
all of it with the cemetery office. Yet no matter how much searching was done in
the database for death certificates this one could not be found. Of course it is
always possible the person died in a different location but the cemetery even
had the home address and her age on file for a burial almost 110 years ago.

The name I was looking for as per the grave records is Elke Charogrodsky, age
32, living in Brooklyn. That's what the cemetery confirmed.

If you want to test your skills stop here and go to the Morse one step link to
search NYC vital records for deaths and see if you can find her.

(Hint I have a copy of the death certificate in my hands .... so it exists.)

In New York City there is no data by date of death.

So I tried obvious variations like only using the E for the first name, narrowing
it to November 1909 deaths, I tried the sounds like. Nothing. How about you if
you are playing along?

I tried reversing it so that Elke was the family name. Nothing.

I tried just Charogrodsky. I tried Charog* with the * standing for wildcards. I
tried Ch*gr*d* (that's a complicated one where all the vowels are replaced with
wild cards plus I truncated the name accepting all endings). Nothing

I kept trying variations like that, ends with, sounds like, etc.

Finally I tired contains *ch*r*gr* where the first letter was also a wildcard.

(Be warned some of these searches take a long time to complete.)

By using the wild card for the first letter as well as dropping all of the vowels
in the name I got three results one of which is:

Helise Scharegotsky, died November 28, 1909 in Kings County, age 32!

Yes the people filling out the death certificate name changed Elke Charogrdsky
into Helise Schargotsky!

When I got the certificate everything aligned perfectly ... except the spelling
of the name.

Lesson learned!

the Jews in Salonike in this period were the Sephardim expelled by the
"Catholic Monarchs" Isabella of Castile and Ferdinand II of Aragon whose
marriage in 1469 united their kingdoms. They were disturbed that Jews that
had converted to Christianity to avoid persecution or worse - known as
"conversos" - were insincere in their conversions and that those who
continued to practice Judaism in secret were trying to draw back other
conversos. They issued an edict of expulsion in 1492 and any Jews who did
not convert or leave were to be executed. Many Jews fled to North Africa and
the Ottoman Empire of which Salonike was a part.

The excerpt opens with a short description of why this was a "Golden Age" and
contains a list of the rules and laws that the rabbis of Salonike made for
the Jews who lived there.

Lithuanian Jewish Community Position on Reconstruction of the Vilnius
Palace of Concerts and Sports and Its Use as a Conference Center

2017-01-11 ( date of post in Vilnius)

In light of the recent intensification of statements in the media on
the alleged danger now threatening the conservation of the Snipiskis
Jewish graveyard in Vilnius (hereinafter Cemetery), the Lithuanian
Jewish (Litvak) Community (hereinafter LJC) feel it our duty yet again
to present the main facts in the case and the LJC's well-founded
position based on those facts regarding the issue of the
reconstruction of the Vilnius Palace of Concerts and Sports
(hereinafter Sports Palace) and its adaptation as a conference center.

1. To date no work for the reconstruction of the Sports Palace has
been carried out, and therefore no possibly negative impact on the
graveyard which was destroyed in the 1950s is being effected at the
current time. The remains of the Vilna Gaon were removed to the
Vilnius Jewish cemetery located on Sudervis street long ago and his
headstone is located there.
False statements and rumors have been circulating for some time, so
again it is necessary to explain the headstones in the Cemetery were
destroyed long ago and the Sports Palace was constructed there back in
the Soviet era. At the current time only pre-planning proposals have
been drawn up, which could serve later as the basis for a detailed
technical project for the renovation and adaptation of the Sports
Palace which will be carefully examined and assessed by competent
institutions.

2. The Cemetery is entered on the Registry of Cultural Treasures and
has been a declared a state-protected site, meaning any construction
or reconstruction work in the area of the graves or in the buffer zone
around it, and any plans for this sort of work, are carefully assessed
and strictly controlled under the provisions of the law of the
Republic of Lithuania on protection of real estate heritage and the
specific requirements of a special protection plan for this Cemetery.

3. This special protection plan for the Cemetery was prepared under
the requirements and principles contained in a protocol agreement
signed on August 26, 2009, by the leaders of the LJC, the Committee
for the Preservation of Jewish Cemeteries in Europe and the Cultural
Heritage Department under the Lithuanian Ministry of Culture. All
these institutions share responsibility for keeping the agreement and
ensuring sufficient authority for doing so.

4. The protocol agreement of August 26, 2009, resolves that:

4.1. Earth-moving work is forbidden in the Cemetery;

4.2. Three additional possible buffer-function zones are defined; the
Sports Palace falls into zone A where earth-moving work is proscribed
except in cases involving engineering construction (utility pipeline,
transportation and communication infrastructure) and/or work to
maintain the Vilnius Sports Palace. Jobs involving the movement of
earth require consent by the LJC and must be accomplished in the
smallest scope possible. All work involving the movement of ground
must be done under the supervision of an archaeologist and an
authorized LJC delegate. To insure adherence to this requirement, the
LJC makes all decisions regarding the conservation of the Cemetery and
plans for the reconstruction of Sports Palace only with the knowledge
and consent of the Committee for the Preservation of Jewish Cemeteries
in Europe.

5. The Vilnius Sports Palace was constructed in 1973. The building and
the Cemetery upon which it was built have been listed on the Registry
and are protected as a cultural treasure since 2006.

6. According to the original construction documents presented to the
LJC, the foundation of the Sports Palace extends 7.37 meters
underground, so most likely all burials there were destroyed during
building construction. Therefore pre-planning proposals for
reconstruction of the Sports Palace are based on the assumption
burials do not remain under the building. Despite the low likelihood
there are still graves under the building, in the event of actual
reconstruction of the Sports Palace the LJC will demand earth-moving
work be of minimal scope and conducted under the supervision of
representatives of the Committee for the Preservation of Jewish
Cemeteries in Europe.

Therefore, bearing in mind that:

1) existing burials were destroyed during construction of the Vilnius
Sports Palace;

2) currently not a single headstone remains at the Cemetery (the last
monuments were torn down back in 1955), the Cemetery territory is in
disrepair, and there are no signs in the huge territory of the
Cemetery testifying to its history except for a symbolic statue and an
information plaque set up a few years ago;

3) the Sports Palace building along with the Cemetery surrounding it
are listed on the Registry of Cultural Treasures and it cannot be torn
down, but in its current state cannot either be used and requires
renovation;

4) the abandoned Vilnius Sports Palace is in a state of ruin and is
unbefitting the city center and the Cemetery, and stands as a horrid
symbol recalling the Soviet era when the headstones of the Cemetery
were destroyed and the human remains there disturbed;

The Government of the Republic of Lithuania have the right to do as
they please with the property in their possession, and certainly the
right to merely consider the reconstruction of the Vilnius Sports
Palace, adapting it for one or another use, and the LJC has no legal
foundation or rational arguments for quelling these activities.
Instead of engaging in unconstructive criticism, the LJC is
undertaking all measures to insure these plans and their possible
realization do not violate Jewish law and tradition, and believes the
Government of Lithuania, as a responsible institution with a vested
interest in maintaining its reputation, will also exhaust all efforts
so that the project is carried out to the highest standards of
transparency, quality and respect for heritage. If the project is
carried out appropriately, the LJC would achieve our goal of
preserving the Cemetery:

1) establishing in city planning and physically demarcating the limits
of the Cemetery;

2) renovating the territory of the Cemetery and setting up walking
paths there in line with Jewish law and tradition;

3) erecting a commemorative composition including the names of the
people buried in the Cemetery;

4) installing necessary educational and information material on site.

MODERATOR'S NOTE: This is a one-time informational message and will
not be the beginning of a thread. It is being published solely
to bring some clarification to this controversy.
