N. Main Jewish Cemetery / Providence Jewish Cemetery - Scranton, PA - any info? #general

Howie Axelrod <highwind1@...>
 

I have a relative who were apparently moved >from the N. Main Jewish
Cemetery in Scranton, PA (now called Providence Cemetery or
Providence Rd. Jewish Cemetery), to the Dalton Cemetery in Dalton, PA.
She was the wife of a Rabbi, and Orthodox Jews who, I am to
understand, will not allow a buried body to be moved (except to
Israel).

The special circumstances surrounding this, is that there was
apparently a road widening project that required bodies to be moved.
This is not substantiated information, but rememberences of a few old
timers in the area.

The death certificates for this person clearly indicates an original
burial in the N. Main Jewish Cemetery / Providence Jewish Cemetery ,
and yet the grave was found in the Dalton. I have certified the
acuracy of this.

I am wondering if anyone has any information regarding this road
widening project, or any Idea as to the approximate date of it. Any
other information as to how the body may have been moved would be
appreciated.

Additionally, I am open to suggestions as to what agency might have
the records of this project, and possibly the names of those moved. If
I can get an approximate date, I might be able to dig through the
newspaper films >from that period for more information.

The state of PA will not provide any info on reinternments under law.

I am trying to solve a mystery here and all clues are appreciated.

Also, would I be able to get any information via the Freedom of
Information act?
Missing Castle garden manifest, maybe not? #general

robert roudman <rcroudman@...>
 

My first cousin twice removed Gerson (George) Millner, and his family, wife
Reive, son Israel, and daughter Lea, arrived Castle Garden New York on June
7, 1887. I found the exact record on the free Castle Garden site, this site
does yet provide manifests. When I went to a popular premium Castle Garden
site that does show the original manifests, I could not locate the manifest
for "America" for June 7, 1887. I was able to find the "America" manifest
for June 10, 1887 as the ship docked in Barbados. I assumed the ship had
left New York and sailed for Barbados. How would I go about obtaining a copy
of the Castle Garden manifest.
Thank you,

Dear Barbara,
Thanks much for the follow-up. There has been quite a lot of discussion on
this topic, but it sems that we are still in the dark. Please let me know
if you do get a definitive (or even a "reasonable") answer >from the census
folks. I seem to be the most recent person who has been looking for an
answer, and I appreciate all the work that has been put into the query by
so many of the genners.

It would be more helpful for us out here to figure out the writing if
more examples were given. The submitter should not leave out some
surrounding writing by the same person as one could then compare and

Dear Genners,
I posted a jpg to the Viewmate site, the direct url is...

It is a close-up of two columns >from a Hamburg departure.
The two words are in columns marked "Previous Residence" and "State or

I think the second column, "State or Province" means Russia.
Can anyone venture a guess what the city or "Previous Residence" could be?

In several of Sally Bruckheimer's many messages to Jewishgen, she mentioned
that in 1881 her great grandparents had dressed their five little boys as
girls. At least one of her father's brothers was born in Odessa._ This was done
in order to sneak the family across the border and also to avoid conscription,
since some of the boys were of draft age or soon to be.

I wrote to Sally privately to tell her that while the reasons she was told
may have been the true ones, that it was not unusual in Europe, England, and
the US to dress little boys as girls. Sometime boys were clad in girls' attire
until they were as old as twelve!

I do not think this fashion was commonplace among Eastern European shtetl
Jews, or even among the rest of the Russian populace, although perhaps the
aristocracy dressed their small boys as girls. But I daresay that many Odessa
Jews followed this dressing tradition, since many Odessans, including Jews, were
more "cosmopolitan" and more influenced by Western fashion and ideas than were
many Russians elsewhere.

I recommended that Sally read Philip Aries "Centuries of Childhood," and I
also quoted a passage >from Amoz Oz's "A Tale of Love and Life" in which he
described the attire of his father who throughout his Odessa childhood
unprotestingly wore dresses and pink bows in his hair.

WEISMAN - Nova Ushitsa #ukraine

He is about 91 years old, & lives somewhere in New York. His parents were
Eva & Chaim WEISMAN born in Nova Ushitsa, Ukraine & after emigration, they
lived in Niagara Falls. His grandmother was Chansa WEISMAN nee POGRANICH,
born around 1850. I would venture a guess that his parents Eva & Chaim were
born about 1880. There is no phone listing for him.

be most grateful to hear >from you. Chansa WEISMAN & my grandmother Faiga
POGRAN were sisters. Other siblings (descendants of Shmiel & Yenta Pogranichny)were

LANDA family and R' Chaim of Volozhin #rabbinic

ben-ari <yrcdi@...>
 

I fielded this question several times but I'll try again:

I am researching a possible connection to R' Chaim of Volozhin. The
clues I have are as follows:

According to a scribbled note, not very reliable, written by a
family member my gggrandmother, Sarah Hinde (nee SCHATZ daughter of
Yosef - the name SCHATZ may only be his profession and not his actual
family name) KANTOR, was a descendant of R' Chaim through a LANDA
grandchild. According to the book "Etz Chaim" by M. Zinovitz (1972)
R' Yitzaleh, the son of R' Chaim had a daughter Raichel, who married
R' Shmuel LANDA. This couple died at a young age leaving a daughter,
who married Chaim Hillel FRIED, father of, among others, the well
known BEN-SASSON family and another son. Our problem with this is
that another daughter is not mentioned and we know of no connection
to the FRIED/BEN-SASSON family (who we know well). Of course it's
possible that the LANDA couple had other children not mentioned in
the book.

Two other clues are: According to a family rumour, R' Mordechai
Gimple YAFFE, who was a student in Volozhin and possibly a distant
relative of the Volozhin family, and Rabbi of Yehud in Israel, told
my gguncle that he (my uncle) was a descendant of R' Chaim. It is
noted in another family source that this ancestry was brought up in
the house of R' Mordechai of Ruzanoi (R'Mordechai YAFFE ?) We also
have a family tradition that R' Yitzaleh was the "shushvin"
(accompying the bride down the aisle) at my gggrandmother's wedding
(due to the premature death of her parents?).

All the above seem to strengthen the theory of our connection with
R' Chaim of Volozhin but I would be happy to hear >from other sources
who could corraborate this theory. The reason that I mentioned
above regarding the reliability of the original note was that it
mentioned also a possible connection with the Gaon of Vilna and
after some research it seems that this link was put to rest.

Thank you for any suggestions on other books which you know contain
details on the Volozhin family or personal knowledge of the family.

BERETTYOUJFALU and MONOSTORPALYI Jewish cementeries: URGENT #hungary

Andres Carciente
 

Something should be done to preserve what remains from
the OLD Jewish cementery in BERETTYOUJFALU and
MONOSTORPALYI (HUNGARY,Hajdu-Bihar county)

Till now nobody had succeeded to explain me how could
be possible that grave-stones were taken and carried
away in a truck in 1992!!!

Please check the photos in Peter Winter's site: JEWISH
CEMENTERIES IN HUNGARY:
http://www.geocities.com/winter_peter_4/


I suppose the tombs remain underground...

Among the people buried in the cementery we have the
famous Tzadik Benjamin RAPAPORT Komader mentioned in
SHEM HAGEDOLIM and HACHME HUNGARIA: he died in
Berettyoujfalu in 1863.

I also visited the Jewish Cementery of MONOSTORPALYI:
I saw BONES there: the person who showed me the place
thought at the beginning that it was a dog's bone but
looking at it closer,concluded that it was rather an
human's bone...

I hope this information will be read also by the

I saw BONES there: the person who showed me the place
thought at the beginning that it was a dog's bone but
looking at it closer,concluded that it was rather an
human's bone...

I hope this information will be read also by the
HERITAGE FOUNDATION FOR THE PRESERVATION OF JEWISH
CEMENTERIES !!!
