(UK) National Archives Opening of Prisoner of War Archives #general

Jan Meisels Allen
 

The (UK) National Archives announced they are opening their prisoner of war
(WW II) archives. These documents were transferred to the National Archives
in December 2014. There are approximately 190,000 records of persons
captured in German-occupied territory during World War II, primarily Allied
service men (including Canadians, South Africans, Australians, New
Zealanders, British and Allied civilians and some nurses. There are also
cars for American, Norwegian, Chinese, Arab and Cypriot origins.

The new collection (WO 416) also includes several thousand records of
deceased allied airmen whose bodies were found near their downed aircrafts.
While these airmen were never prisoners of war, these records act as records
of death.

The records are cards-some persons have up to 15 cards, but most have only
one or two. It is not catalogued by name of individual for privacy reasons
as some may still be living. The National Archives has started to catalogue
the entire series and they have opened the records for those who were born
more than 100 years ago or if they have proof of death.

To read more see:
http://blog.nationalarchives.gov.uk/blog/opening-prisoner-war-collection/

To browse the collection go to:
http://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/details/r/C14541141

For those records that have not yet been digitized you can order the records
in advance for when you visit the Kew ( the National Archives) or you can
request a quotation for a copy to be sent to you. The price will vary
depending on the amount of copying. When you click on the name of the person
you are researching , click on details. There you will get a transcription
of information they have plus the option to order in advance or request a
copy.

Not all service personnel have cards as they were removed >from the
collection to be used as evidence to support claims by Prisoners of War
after World War II. These cards, for the most part, were not returned but
may form part of the personnel's service record which may be held by
Veteran's agency See:

Re: Meaning of "Servant" in 18th and 19th Century Hungarian Censuses #hungary

Eric M. Bloch
 

In response to Hilary's query, in this case, Marcus WOLF was listed as a
"servitor communitatis Judaicae habens conventionem."Google roughly
translates this as "service of the Jewish Community having executed
agreement." Another man was listed in this same census as the Rabbi, so
Marcus may have been a contracted administrator or caretaker of the
synagogue, or served the Jewish Community in some other capacity.

For Marcus WOLF, the 1838 Census says, "extreme pauper, servitus vitam
sustentat," translated by Google as "extremely poor, serving sustains
life."

These censuses were transcribed many years ago, before resources such as
Google Translate were available, which accounts for the slight
difference in translation.

In other cases where occupations are identified in these censuses,
"servant" in the modern sense applied.

Hope this helps.

There are two censuses of Hunszdorf (now Huncovce, Slovakia) that
contain unusual references to servitude with respect to my ancestor/s,
Marcus Wolf/f, for which I've been unable to obtain a meaningful
explanation - although perhaps the translation is at the bottom of this.

The census of 1771 describes Marcus Wolff as being "in Hungary since
1729; servant of the Jewish community."

And according to the census of 1838, Marcus Wolf was "extremely poor,
occupation as a servant to endure."

I would appreciate hearing >from anyone who has any insight into these
comments.

Thank you.

This week's Yizkor book excerpt on the JewishGen Facebook page #general

Bruce Drake <BDrake@...>
 

The pogroms that befell Kishinev (Chisinau) in Moldava in 1903 and again
in 1905 drew a worldwide outcry. The 1903 pogrom followed a false rumor
that Jews had killed a young Christian boy to use his Christian blood to
prepare matzo for Passover. The 1905 protests began as political protests
against the Czar but turned into an attack against the Jews. Pogroms were
not new to Kishinev as noted in this excerpt >from the Yizkor book of
Chisinau. One had occurred in 1881 "but the rioters left after being
shamed thanks to courageous self defense by the local Jews." Such was not
to be the case in 1903 and 1905, as this excerpt recounts.

HALPERN family of Dolina #general

Barbara Mannlein <bsmannlein@...>
 

Anyone researching the family of Wolf (ben Hersz) HALPERN & Reisel
(bat Isaak) BLEIBERG of Stanislwow, Galicia?

Some of their children were Jozef (b. 1890), Berish (b. 1886), Ruchel,
Abraham (b. 1893), Rechel Malke (b. 1896), Chanzie (b. 1899), and
Gittel (b. 1902). I believe the children to have been born in Dolina.

Ruchel married a Jozef GINSBERG (b. Buczacz).
Berish, aka Bernard, wed my great aunt Sara (bat Leib Israel) MANDEL in
Przemyslany. Berish survived the Shoah and died in NYC in 1952.
Jozef also married and had a child.

Does this fit with any family you are researching?

Lerner and Fichman #ukraine

Tamar Dothan <dothan-t@...>
 

I am looking for any information about rabbi Israel Avraham Lerner, born in
1839-40, son of Dvora and rabbi Shevach Ze'ev Lerner of Kitaygorod. In
1864-5 he was appointed rabbi in Balin. Later he was rabbi in Tiraspol, at
least >from 1876 till 1912.

I am also looking for the Fichman family, who lived in Kishinev in 1933 .
Either the wife or the husband had Lerner ancestors. They most probably
also had Lerner relatives in Kishinev, one of them probably a rabbi.
Thank you.

(UK) General Register Office Extends Birth and Death Records PDF Trial #unitedkingdom

Jan Meisels Allen
 

In 2017 the United Kingdom's General Register Office (GRO) held a
three phase pilot on accessing birth and death records by pdf. The GRO
extended the final phase which was supposed to run for three months starting
October 12, 2017. However in the current issue of Who Do You Think You Are?
Magazine, they write the GRO confirmed to them that the latest pilot
delivering PDF copies of birth and death records has been successful and
they will be extending the pilot. They were also advised that "further
changes" would be communicated in due course". During the 3-month pilot
they had over 79,800 PDF applications and processed providing a less
expensive and quicker alternative to ordering print copies. See:
https://tinyurl.com/yazf8y2h
Original url:
http://www.whodoyouthinkyouaremagazine.com/news/over-79600-pdf-certificates-ordered-gro-extends-pilot

The GRO has yet to establish a permanent PDF scheme and it may take
legislative action by Parliament to make it permanent.

A PDF is not a certificate as they do not have the official crest and
signature of issuing authority as would a regular certificate. A PDF
will have no "evidential" value, and therefore a paper certified copy
[certificate] is required for official purposes, e.g. if applying for a
passport, driving license, or where required to give notice of marriage.

The extended pilot covers PDF copies of those historical digitized civil
registration records held by GRO (i.e. birth entries >from 1837 - 1916
and death entries >from 1837 - 1957). Modern records are not covered during
the extended pilot. A GRO index reference is required to be provided with
the application. You can find the GRO index references by logging on to the
GRO online ordering service and accessing the GRO online indexes. A PDF will
cost £6.00 each.

For information on the extended pilot please see the questions and
answers on their website. You first have to register (it's free) to access the
rest of the website:
https://www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/certificates/Login.asp
That will then open the window of "what would you like to do?" On the
right there is a menu of items. Click on the "About the PDF Pilot." That
will take you to the "Extended PDF Pilot: About the Pilot.

best for our program meetings, developing a web and social media
presence, etc. If time permits, we'll have a short presentation about
some basic Jewish family history resources that are available for your
research.

Our goals are to:
* Help you learn about the most current methods, resources,
technologies, and techniques to help you achieve your goals;
* Help you network with other researchers whose ancestors were >from
the same old country areas as yours;
* Keep you up-to-date with occasional e-mail messages and
announcements >from discussion lists on the Web, and with regular
meetings through the year.
