VM2801, marriage, Lublin 1885, in Russian #general

Randy Eckstein
 

I just received the marriage registration at
http://data.jewishgen.org/viewmate/ALL/viewmateview.asp?key=2801 (or
http://data.jewishgen.org/viewmate/toview.html & select VM2801) >from the
Lublin PSA. Though I have seen many marriage registrations, I've never
seen anything like this one.

I suspect that it is the belated registration of the second marriage of
Izrael Jakob LEJMER (the first possibly being to Ester Ruchla), son of
Abus and Fajga Dwojra, to Hinda Laia GRYNTYSZ, daughter of Abram and
Fajga. Towards the bottom is a list of names (e.g. Rywke Ruchl, Hadassa,
& Bajla Malka) -- perhaps these are their children?

Would some kind Cyrillic maven translate the relevant parts of the
document for me, in particular, names, dates, ages, relationships, and the
section at the bottom?

Please reply privately. Thx.

Obtaining birth certificate from Grahamstown 1885 #southafrica

Anne Budlender <annebud@...>
 

My husband's grandmother died in 1922 at the age of 37. Her youngest child
was only 6 months old at the time of her death and knows nothing about her
mother and grandparents. All we know is that her name was Gertrude
Mulholland, she was born in Grahamstown in 1922, and that she converted to
Judaism when she married approximately 1905. Apparently she was related to
the actor Gordon Mulholland- I have tried without success to obtain Gordon's
address so I can write to him. How can I find out who Gertrude's parents
were? The Cape Town Beth Din cannot find the appropriate records for 1905,
and I believe it isn't possible to get a birth certificate for Grahamstown
for 1885.

Thank you for any suggestions,

A relative of my husband died in Zimbabwe- I think it was Harare, but I'm
not sure. Her maiden name was Rosa Budlander, and I think she may have
married a Harris. I would like details, such as when she died, name of
spouse, whether she had any children.I know she was born in Leeds in 1891.
Also it would be very helpful to know when she arrived in the country from
the UK.
Perhaps someone reading this has access to these records, or can put me in
touch with the relevant body.

Thank you,

Afrikaner Yiddisher Zeitung #southafrica

Michael Malk <michaelmalk@...>
 

I have a newspaper editorial >from the South African Jewish Chronicle dated
31st December, 1948, by my great-grandfather Louis Cohen, founding member of
the Dorshei Zion Association. In the editorial, he talks of the Dorshei
Zion's founding in 1899 and mentions many of the people present. [If anyone
is interested in the names, I'd be more than happy to post them].

He writes: "There was my old friend, the late Mr. Hoffman, the editor of the
'Afrikaner Yiddisher Zeitung,' a weekly paper for which I often used to
write articles." According to the Jewishgen site, the Afrikaner Yidishe
Tzeitung was a paper published >from 1942 to 1971, but >from Louis Cohen's
editorial, it sounds as though the paper was also published in the early
1900s. Can anybody shed some light on this for me?

Thank you.

Re: Important message from Talsi Registrar #courland #latvia

I just returned >from a wonderful trip to Latvia where I visited with
Leva Ratniece, the registrar in Talsi. She was very helpful. They have
a few records >from Valdemarpils, but they are sporadic and varied.
Among them: Births 1881, Marriages 1896, Births 1901, Deaths 1905,
Births 1906, and Deaths 1913. There may be a few more books that I did
not copy records from.

In addition, she has Talsi records (births, marriages and deaths) from
1922-1940.

When I met her, she was feeling very guilty about a request >from the
United States this past spring that somehow got misplaced. IF YOU SENT
IN A REQUEST TO THE TALSI REGISTRAR THIS SPRING, AND IT HAS NOT BEEN
ANSWERED, PLEASE RE-SEND THE REQUEST. If you know anyone else that
might have done so, please let them know. She is very contrite, and is
trying to be helpful.

Finally, I will mention something else I learned there. The records at
the Registrar's offices, unlike those at the State Archives, cannot be
copied for personal use. If you visit or write to them, you will only
be allowed a transcript. This is apparently a nationwide policy.
However, it is useful to note, for those of us who had family there
after WWI, that these Registrars have records leading up to WWII.
Hello Betsy,

I was the one who sent the letter. Thank you so much!I have a copy and will resend it.

Can anyone me to make contact with Cedric Ginsburg, who I believe lives
in the Pretoria/Johannesburg area in South Africa? I believe that he
works for the University of South Africa (UNISA) in Pretoria.

The e-mail address I had been using for him in the past doesn't seem to
be working any more.

Thanks for any help.
