Researchers >from Indiana University, linguist Dov-Ber Kerler and historian
Jeffrey Veidlinger interviewed almost 400 elderly Yiddish speakers in
Eastern Europe. AHEYM, the archives of Historical and Ethnographic Yiddish
Memories at Indiana University explores Jewish life in Eastern Europe
before, during and after World War II. The interviews -all in Yiddish were
conducted in small towns in Ukraine, Modava, Romania, Hungary and Slovakia.
The interviews focus on the following areas: language, religious customs and
beliefs, songs, and Holocaust testimony. The interviews also provide a
unique insight on how ordinary Jews experienced the 20th century.

While the archive is not yet complete, there are some online exhibits where
one can search by person, location and subject. See:
http://www.iub.edu/~aheym/archives.php . You can browse by category at:
http://www.iub.edu/~aheym/archives.php?filter=category. Categories include:
daily life, foodways, Jewish Life Between the Wars, religion and ritual,
songs, poems and prayer, World War II and the Holocaust and Jewish Life
After World War II.

The interviews have not been translated into English and may be heard in the
original Yiddish. There are lists of topics covered and the time on the tape
that have been translated into English. If you go to online exhibit and
select any person, there is in English information about the person and the
town.

Insight into FamilySearch and The Wilmette Family History Center is the topic of a
talk planned by Family History Center volunteer Suzanne Hoffman for the Sunday,
Jan. 21, 2018, meeting of the Jewish Genealogical Society of Illinois. Her
presentation will begin at 2 p.m. at Temple Beth-El, 3610 Dundee Road, Northbrook,
Ill.

The JGSI meeting facilities at Temple Beth-El will open at 12:30 p.m. for those who
want to use or borrow genealogy library materials, get help with genealogy websites
or ask genealogical questions before the main program begins at 2 p.m.

For more information, see https://jgsi.org/event-2738308 or phone 312-666-0100.
This event is free and open to the public.

In her presentation, Hoffman will look at FamilySearch.org and the relationship
FamilySearch has with JewishGen and JRI Poland. She'll also briefly touch on the
Family History Library in Salt Lake City, Utah, and finish up by talking about the
Family History Center in Wilmette, Illinois, and why that is a unique resource for
local record searches.

For the past 20 years she has doggedly researched all 16 of her great-great-
grandparents with varying degrees of success. Some families reach back to the 1700s
and one recently-solved mystery stopped in 1962. Suzanne regularly presents on
genealogical topics, does for-hire research, and is a volunteer at the Family
History Center in Wilmette.

A Happy, Healthy and Successful 2018,
Lance Ackerfeld
Yizkor Book Project Manager

Shalom,

It would seem that in the last month of 2017, the Yizkor Book Project
continued on it's very positive trend and we are definitely looking
forward to continuing, ever onwards, in 2018. I would like to take
this opportunity to thank the many, many and many volunteers who
tirelessly support the YB project in numerous ways, to the professional
translations who help reveal the hidden treasures in the Yizkor books
and, finally, to the generous donors, without whom, we couldn't go
forward with our projects.

So what did we do in December? To begin with, last month saw us seeing
the final translated pages of an additional three books go online. They
were:

- Chisinau, Moldova (The Jews of Kishinev) The book was entirely and
voluntarily translated by Sheli Fain, to whom we owe a great deal of
thanks. Yefim Kogan was there together with Sheli to help out with the
logistics and scanning and we do appreciate his drive and assistance in
seeing this project to completion.
- Narach (Kobylnik), Belarus (Memorial Book of Kobylnik) This
translation project was energetically coordinated by Anita Gabbay who
managed to arrange its translation in a relatively short period of time
and our indebted thanks do go out to her.
- Stryy, Ukraine (Book of Stryj) The completion of this book, begun many
years ago by Mike Kalt, could not have come about without the great
number of translations by Susan Rosin, supported by translations by
other volunteers, including Yocheved Klausner and Daniella Heller. To
all of these good people, we send out a humble thanks.

Last month, we added in the necrology for Dubrovitsa, Ukraine which
includes a disturbing 2,626 victims >from this community. The necrologies,
apart >from immortalizing the names of the martyrs, also provide us with
significant information about the people, such as details of their
parents, spouses and children. I believe that over the years, we have
placed online the bulk of the necrologies >from the Yizkor books, but our
intention is to continue with this endeavor, till we have completed them
all.

Other important genealogical information we have added in recently, comes
in the form of lists of survivors often noted in the Yizkor books.
Examples of these lists, were the additions last month of a list of 277
survivors >from Krasnik and lists of survivors >from Wolbrom who lived in
Israel at the time of the Yizkor book's publishing. Once again, we will
continue to extract these lists as an important genealogical resource
supplied by the Yizkor books.

And now for details of all the updates and additions that were carried
out in the Yizkor Book Project in December.

mobile device app, walking tours of Warsaw, and an afternoon
"ShareFair" including experts >from all over Central & Eastern Europe.
More to come about programming at a later date, but we realize that
the starting times might be of use to planning your arrival into
Warsaw.

All official conference events (lectures, panels, receptions and
workshops) will be held at the Hilton Warsaw Hotel which is located at
63 Grzybowska Street for the convenience of our attendees. We have
reserved all regular hotel rooms at the Hilton and they are blocked
for only IAJGS conference use at the present time. We will soon open
hotel registration through a link to a special webpage provided by
Hilton. We will only guarantee rooms in the conference hotel with
proof of conference registration to be sure that the hotel will be
filled by conference attendees. The special conference price will
include: free wifi, access to the Holmes Place exercise club, and an
amazing breakfast buffet - all at a very reasonable price. So stay
tuned, and if you are ready to sign up for the conference and pay for
registration, please do... and tell all your friends to join us too!

Looking forward to seeing you in Warsaw!

My great-aunt and her family lived in France in the 1920's and 1930's.
Her married name is TOPOROSKY(Toporovsky/Toporowsky or other). My
aunt was given an address where they supposedly had lived, 6 Siston
Lane she gave me. I suppose that may have truly been 6 rue de Siston.
Where would I go to research that address in 1930's? Also if they
applied to immigrate to Israel where would they have applied? I find
no answers in Israel.
