I apologize for the mistake of the link that did not work, it's been a
while since I was engaged in this.
I posted a copy of the relevant page on viewmate here:
https://www.jewishgen.org/viewmate/viewmateview.asp?key=75232
And the entire page and the book can be found here:
https://tinyurl.com/y5rsfn6t (it's on page 175 in the reader, which is
page 129 in the actual book's pagination).
Thank you very much.

Re: Origin of Latvian Jews #latvia

Latvia was part of Russia until about 100 years ago. My guess would
be that most Jews in what is now Latvia were Ashkenazi.

Origin of Latvian Jews #sephardic

Jeff Canin <jeffcanin07@...>
 

Dear Sephardic Group,

I'm trying to determine if my family in Latvia could have originally
come >from Spain or Portugal after the Jewish populations there were
expelled in the 1500s. My grandfather, Joseph Chanin (Hebrew spelling
would be chet nun yud nun) was born in Varaklani around 1872. The
English spelling for his name could be Hanin, Kanin, Khanin or Canin.
Joe always said he was Sephardic and the family originally came >from
Portugal, but I can't find any evidence that Jews >from Portugal made
it to Latvia. His father was Mendel Chanin and grandfather, born
around 1828 was Shmul Ber (Samuel) Chanin.

Are the Latvian Jews generally considered to be Sephardic?

Thank you very much in advance for any help you can give me.

Warm regards,

I have had several members of my late wife's family tell me that the
family left Sevillle, Spain in 1391. They sailed to Istanbul. I have
further information that they lived in Lvov in 1650 as well as Kobryn
from 1650 t0 1776. How do I go about trying to trace the family. The
family name was MENDES

New useful resource for finding graves in Israel #galicia

Miriam Bulwar David-Hay
 

I haven't seen any mention of this previously, so thought people might
be interested ...

The Israeli Chevra Kadisha forum has just launched a website and app
called Gravez which enables people to search for graves, see photos
and info about them online, and (using the app, which works like Waze)
navigate to visit them physically. At the moment they cover around 25
cemeteries in Israel with thousands of burials.

This seems to be a very useful resource in addition to the long-running
and even bigger BillionGraves website, which covers a large number of
cemeteries in Israel. (Of course, another major grave-finding website is
Find A Grave, but this has very few records >from Israel.)

There seems to be some overlap between Gravez and BillionGraves in
the cemeteries they cover, but each also has cemeteries the other
doesn't have, so it's worth searching both sites! I personally have been
able to find the graves of many people in one or the other or both.

Please note that in the case of Gravez, their platform works in
English (and looks very nice!) but you have to search for names in
Hebrew. In BillionGraves, you can search for names in English but the
only results you'll get will be >from other countries, so you'll need to
search in Hebrew for people buried in Israel.

I have no affiliation with or special knowledge about any of the
organizations mentioned above and am just posting to let people
know about these useful resources!

The National Archives of South Africa has a new site. The old site is
still active but only the new site will be updated. The new site has
some quirky features and requires a bit of trial and error. As before
it lacks a Soundex facility so one has to play around and be a bit
creative especially with surname variant spellings.

Then go to collections and the drop down menu.

There is a different method of searching, Put the
