I've posted a vital record in Polish for which I need a translation. It
is on ViewMate at the following address ...
http://www.jewishgen.org/viewmate/viewmateview.asp?key=VM68527
The German record is the death certificate of my great grandfather,
Benedict Hess for whom I am named after. I hope that a translation may
offer an additional fact or two about his life that I do not know.
Please respond via the form provided in the ViewMate application.
Thank you very much.

a few months, and consider myself a beginner.

I live in Washington, D.C. and my native language is English. I'm a
first generation American.

I'm an intermediate in using a computer. I have extensive experience
in using the internet.

I've conducted research at the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum, on the
website of Yad Vashem, the "Memorial Book of the Victims of
Persecution of Jews under the National
Socialist Tyranny," and several other sources.

For certain of my great-grandparents, grandparents, great aunts and
uncles, aunts and uncles, and second cousins, I've identified familial
relationships, birth dates and locations, death dates and locations,
of dates and locations of deportation and incarceration, etc.

Insofar as most of these persons were murdered in the Holocaust, I
know comparatively little about them or their histories. Accordingly,
my primary research goals are to:

(1) identify biographical information and any other information about
the individuals listed below, as well as other family members; (2)
connect with individuals who may have already collected information
about these individuals or other family members, or receive direction
to others who who may have collected such information; (3) identify
investigative leads or sources of information with which I can conduct
additional research; and (4) identify the names, biographical

Hi All

I am going to be making a research visit to Mount Hebron Cemetery in Flushing,
Queens.

If anyone is looking for assistance at the cemetery please contact me off list
to discuss. I know my around the cemetery and am pretty good at locating the
graves and taking photos.

I do not change for the photos and emailing the but I do appreciate people who
are kind enough to send a few dollars to help with the expense of doing this
for everyone.

It is a large cemetery so it helps if you have checked their location on their
website to see if you can ID the grave. Common names of course show up a lot
of the more specific you can be the better.

Hello,

I am requesting assistance reading a ship manifest posted on ViewMate
at
http://www.jewishgen.org/viewmate/viewmateview.asp?key=VM68541
I'm hoping someone can interpret the name of the German city associated
with Passenger 82, Lesser Schwartz. Comparing it with Leipzig (Passenger 80),
the middle letter is clearly a "p". Comparing it with Trento (Passenger 74),
the last two letters would be "to". That would make it Wespesto.

The only cities I can find with a reasonably similar name are in Romania
and Hungary. The manifest, however, says the city is in Germany. This
manifest is >from a ship that departed Antwerp in 1893, so the city
would be within the 1890s border of Germany.

Please respond using the ViewMate tools.

Thank you for the assistance.

A quick overall thank you to everyone who responded to my request for assistance.
I haven't had time yet to respond to everyone individually but I did want to be
certain everyone knows how grateful I am for all the help & suggestions.

Still haven't managed to figure out where my great-grandfather Louis ROSS was
born/emigrated >from or what his surname was before it was changed to ROSS but
I also haven't finished following up on all the wonderful suggestions.

from the bottom of my heart, thank you.

Dora ALBAHARY Born 10 Nov 1891 in Vienna, Austria David ALBAHARY had 4
children: Felix Isak, Otto, Dora and Franziska. I have discovered the fate
of all but Dora. I found a death notice for Franzi in Association of Jewish
Refugees, in London, 1978. She died unmarried, but the notice mentioned she
would be missed by her sister. Dora ALBAHARY was the only sister, though
her surname likely was different if married. The implication is that Dora
survived the war. I contacted the AJR last month, but have not yet received
a response. Anyone have information on this David ALBAHARY family line?
Ideas on research approach?

Hello GerSig,

I just joined the group. I have been doing genealogy research for about
5 years. I consider myself to be an intermediate researcher at doing
German Jewish Genealogy research.

I live in Baltimore, Maryland, USA. My native language is English and I
also know a little German and some French is stuck in my head >from past
schooling. I consider myself intermediate to advanced in using a computer.
My experience in using the Internet is extensive.

I have identified the names and birth and death dates of all of my Jewish
Ge=
rman side=E2=80=99s grandparents, all of my great grandparents and all of my
great great grandparents. My family research extends to 1800 and earlier.

My primary research goals now are to find out siblings of some of my
ancestors; a few 4th- and higher great grandparents, and a few cousins of
my grandparents and their descendants that I haven't found yet.

My JGFF Researcher ID number is 686952.

The family names and ancestral towns that I have entered in the JGFF
(JewishGen Family Finder) are HEINEMANN (Buekeburg) and LOEWENTHAL
(Groebzig).

Dear Readers,
I am posting this for a friend

Looking at the All Lithuania Revision List Database (Pt. 2) (Family List,
1888), my gggrandfather, Mendel Pinkus IUDIN, is listed as living in the
Shkuntiki village, Igumen area, Disna, Vilnius. [Family List,
LVIA/681/17/1103] Under the "Comments" section it notes that he was
"registered in Sharkov JC, lived in the village >from 1868".
1. What does the "JC" stand for?
2.Does this mean that Mendel moved >from Sharkovshchina to Shkuntiki, but
the registry wasn't updated to the new location? My grandfather (Mendel's
grandson), Shimon/Sam YUDIN, said that he came >from Sharkovshchina [this is
about 9.5 miles >from Shkuntiki, unless he was referring to the district &
not the village].
3. What registry does this refer to? Does it still exist? Is the original
page available online?
