Ruthenian Robin Hood? #hungary

Adam Smith <ajsmith98@...>
 

Hi Everyone,

On a visit to a village near to Khust, in Transcarpathia, I discovered some
old people that remembered a branch of my family. They reported that the
patriach was killed by a guy named Chukhi, who they described as some sort
of Robin Hood. Has anyone heard of him?

Pronounced "shukhee" by Ruthenians, and Chuhai by my Hungarian relative.

I appreciate your thoughts.

Hi,
I am hoping that you can help me. I am looking for a woman whose maiden name or name during the war was Lily Samuels. In 1946 she was found by Evelyn Chenkin nee Freedman in France where she had been a hidden child during ww2. Evelyn took her >from the Catholic family she was living with and reunited her with her aunt in the UK. It has been suggested that her aunt lived in Musswell Hill London and that Lily was married in London and has since moved to Australia.

Is there any way I could find her?? Through marriage records, births certificates etc..immigration??

Hoping that you can help me.

Kind regards,
Miriam Hechtman

My name is Adam YAMEY. I was born and I live in
London, UK. Both of may parents were born in South
Africa. Their families which I am currently
researching originated in Germany and Lithuania
mainly.

Amongst the many surnames that are of interest to me
the following are of great interest:

from Germany:
BLOCH(Gailingen),SELIGMANN(Ichenhausen),RIESER(Laupheim),
WIMPFHEIMER(Ichenhausen), GINSBERG(Beuthen-now Bytom,
Poland),DANNHEISSER(Landau/Pfalz)

from Lithuania: YAMEY or JAMI(both >from Plunge),
KATZIN(Plunge), HALPERIN(Telsiai), WALT(Ukmerge,
formerly Wilkomir), PLUTSKY(Panevezys), GARB (Plunge)

from Austria/Bohemia: RINDL, LICHTENSTADT(Prague)
from UK: SOLOMONS, LITOUN, LICHTENSTADT
A very particular quest at the moment is to contact
Felicitas BRADLEY ( who lived in Guildford, Surrey in
the 1980s) or any of her descendants including her
daughters Patricia Marion HOFFMANN (this was her
surname in 1965) and Vivian (I do not know whether she
married.

I look forward to being an interested member of this
group.

1828 Land Census Now On-Line! #hungary

Vivian Kahn
 

Dear Friends,

I am thrilled to report that we have launched the Hungary section of
the JewishGen databases page with the 1828 Hungarian Property Tax
Census database. Check out this new resource at
http://www.jewishgen.org/databases/Hungary/Census1828.htm This is
only the first database that we plan to make available to those
researching Jewish roots in old Hungary.

We are indebted to Eric Bloch, the 1828 Census project coordinator,
and the volunteers who transcribed the more than 8,000 records that
are now available on-line. None if this would be possible, however,
if it were not for Warren Blatt, Michael Tobias, and all of those
JewishGen volunteers and supporters who keep our marvelous website
on-line.

There are two things that you can do to support this important
project and to ensure that JewishGen and H-SIG can continue to
support your research efforts.

First of all, although the database already contains 8,000
names,there are thousands more records to transcribe. Eric hopes to
complete this landmark project over the next 12 months but needs
additional volunteers to transcribe names >from LDS microfilm. If you
have access to a Family History Library and would like to help,
please contact Eric at: <bloch@wi.rr.com>. You don't need to know
Hungarian in order to transcribe these records. Check out the list
of counties at
http://www.jewishgen.org/databases/Hungary/Census1828.htm to see
where volunteers are needed and contact Eric to sign up.

The second thing you can do to ensure that the 1828 Tax Census and
other resources will continue to be available to H-SIG subscribers is
to make a financial contribution to JewishGen to support the
maintenance of the website. It costs JewishGen 10 cents/record to
put new data on-line and close to 1 cent per record for annual
maintenance--almost $900 to upload and maintain 8,000 1828 Census
records! These numbers are a drop in the bucket relative to the major
shortfall needed to keep JewishGen databases on-line.

Thanks to the H-SIG members who attended the Toronto conference, we
were able to contribue more than $2200 to help keep JewishGen
operating. Now that the Hungarian section of the JewishGen database
page is on-line it is more important than ever to make a contribution
to JewishGen. H-SIG has more than 650 subscribers but fewer than 30
% have ever made a financial contribution to JewishGen. Moreover,
even with our impressive showing at the Toronto conference, JewishGen
records show that less than 20% of H-SIG's subscribers have made a
donation this year.

Please help to keep JewishGen on line so that H-SIG volunteers can
continue to provide important resources like the 1828 Property Tax
Census. If you are not able to make a financial donation, make a
contribution by volunteering to work on the 1828 database or the
All-Hungary database.

We need your help!

Great news!
The 1828 Hungarian Property Tax Census database is now on-line at:
< http://www.jewishgen.org/databases/Hungary/Census1828.htm >.
Check it out!

Kudos to all those volunteers who have been working so diligently to put
together this valuable resource.

The database is still in its infancy, but already contains 8,000 names,
and growing. We hope to complete the effort over the next 12 months,
but we need additional volunteers to transcribe names >from LDS
microfilm. If you have access to a FHC library and would like to help,
please let me know at: bloch@wi.rr.com. You do NOT need to know
Hungarian. There is no translation required since the names were all
written in Latin characters.

Happy searching!

Re: New JewishGen InfoFile - "Manifest Markings" #general

Adelle Gloger
 

Dear Genners,

"Thank you" to Warren Blatt and JewishGen for making this InfoFile available,
and also to Marian Smith for creating it. To say that it is a "comprehensive
reference guide".........I don't think I have ever seen anything this
comprehensive online before! It's more than comprehensive.

Now that I have said that........there seems to be something that I either
missed or isn't there. It is this:

In the column "Cause for Detension" on The Record of Aliens Held for Special
Inquiry the notation is LPC which I know is "Likely to be Public Charge",
however on that same line just before the name of the Inspector is a
number----400. Others on the page have the number 320. It is a straight
number----no dots or dashes. It does not look like it could be 'time.'

I have looked through the appropriate section of the InfoFile and find no
explanation of the number.

What does that number mean?

Thank you,




>JewishGen is pleased to announce a major new InfoFile:

Annotations", written by Marian L. Smith, the Historian of

Hamburg archive question #general

Pam G <pgosl@...>
 

Hello,

This question is a real longshot, but I need help with figuring out number
codes on a Hamburg Staatsarchive film, birth records (Jewish Gemeinde) from
1810-1860's. . it was on LDS film 1335030. There seems to be an index at
the end of the film with names of the birth children, with a number code,
from 0 to 150's range. The index is arranged by date of birth, and
alphabetical order. However, there appears to be no correlation with say,
for example, a named birth in 1828, #137,with any page numbers, or registry
numbers on the film. There are some code numbers repeated, so it doesn't
appear that they are unique numbers to one person. (But the ones repeated
are for different years, families). I got a translation of one of the
births and the witness appeared to be >from Switzerland. . which is entirely
possible but makes me wonder if the film or a portion of it is mislabled.

Or, would these codes represent #'s assigned by the archive to each
register and therefore could be used to request records???

Additionally, half of the dates in the index don't appear in the film at
all, even though there is an index, I'm assuming there must be another
section(item?) of film somewhere to match it? I was told that additional
items under one film should be on the same film.

Has anyone had any experience with these archive records and/or this film
to give an idea what these codes mean?? Or who I can contact in LDS with
questions about these films, if anyone??

Thanks for any leads for information. . .

Correction re Hamburg archive question #general

Pam G <pgosl@...>
 

Hello,

Need to clarify my earlier request; I had 2 questions(clarifying the second
question);

1. Regarding the archive codes.
2. Regarding the content of the LDS film; I should have said dates from
1810-1863 are in the index; only dates up to 1850 are shown in the register
with descriptions. Does anyone know if the rest of the register listed in
the index(assuming this is even the right film to go with the index) is
shown somewhere else??

Sorry for the confusion; hopefully I didn't cause more. .> >
