CORRECTION: UK General Register Office Added Death Records Index From 1984-2019 #United Kingdom #Archives #Records Access

Jan Meisels Allen
 

 

 

Correction:

In my November 8 posting on the addition of deaths to the index from 1984 to 2019 for England and Wales, the part about the death indices was correct. Where I erred, was my comment on birth records. I said they were only available to 1918.  I have been informed they are available after 1918 but are not searchable on the General Register Office (GRO) website. They are however, available up to 2007 on subscription sites such as Ancestry and Findmypast.  Additionally, the free site, FreeBMD.or.uk (https://www.freebmd.org.uk/) currently has records up to 1992.

 

It is possible to order copies of all birth certificates where they are listed on indexes. In addition, there are copies of birth and marriage indexes up to 2019 on microfiche in a small number of Archives and Libraries around England and Wales. The limit of 1918 on the GRO search facility is related to the PDF copies of birth certificates only being available up to and including 1918.


Restrictions on ordering Birth and Death Certificates issued within the last 50 years and restrictions on ordering copies of recently issued certificates

 

From the GRO website:

 

"You will be prompted to supply further details for more recent births and deaths (within the last 50 years) when you complete the online application form. - If you are unable to complete the mandatory fields, then you will not be able to apply online and you will need to follow our telephone ordering process. Please contact us on +44(0) 300 123 1837 for further information."

 

"Records we are not able to provide - GRO is not able to issue certificates for events that have taken place within the last six months (for marriages this period is extended to eighteen months) and you may wish to obtain a certificate from the register office or church where the event was registered. This information excludes adoption certificates, as the local register office does not hold a copy of the Adopted Children Register. If you require further information please call 0300 123 1837 to talk to our customer service team."

 

My apologies for the error in the original posting. 


Thank you to Mark Nicholls and Jeanette Rosenberg, both from JGS Great Britain  for advising me of the correct information.

Re: Jewish man from Volyn, Ukraine in which Russian army? #ukraine

The uniform will help you find out which country and the date of the photograph will help also because the Russian army only participated formally in the war until the Russian Revolution of 1917.

[Where was] Mahlhof ? Is it perhaps Mielno (Chodecz)? #germany

Alex Magocsi
 

On the residency registration form (Meldekarte der Stadt Passau, September,
1945), it indicates that a former Hungarian Forced Laborer had arrived
from Mahlhof.
I am looking for the current location of Mahlhof which I believe could
be in Poland, or, at the time of his release, is assumed to have been in
the Soviet Occupation Zone (SBZ). He had been taken prisoner by the
Soviet Army.

Is it perhaps Mielno (Chodecz)?

If not, is anyone familiar with Mahlhof >from whence former laborers were
released? (responses in German or English appreciated)

APOTHEKER-LANDA/LANDAU in Nowy Sacz(and Brody) #poland

Abuwasta Abuwasta
 

Dear Siggers,

Thanks to you all we are making a steady progress in unfolding the roots of
my late father in law David APOTHEKER.

His grandfather was Isak Saul APOTHEKER who was born in 1831 in Uscie
Zielone(Ustya Zelene) nearby Stanislawow
to a Rabinical family which lived already in the mid 18th century in
Brody.

Just got access to the list of graves in the old cemetery of Brody
where I found this piece of evidence. He moved around 1850 to
Nowy Sacz and married Lea LANDAU/LANDA whose father was Arieh Leib
SEGA"L LANDA. His father was Rabbi Bauch Segal LANDA, Av Beith
Din Nowy Sacz and environs. LANDAU is of course a huge family
but I need assistance to lead me into the Nowy Sacz Rabinical
branch.

Many Thanks

Radomsk Chasidim In Sosnowiec

Derek Stavrou
 

Shalom to the Discussion Group
I have been researching my wife's TUCHSCHNEIDER and BRONSTEIN families in Sosnowiec, Poland for quite a while now.  The town was a centre for Radomsk Chasidut until its virtual annihilation during the Holocaust.
I believe  that Susan's great-grandfather Leib TUCHSCHNEIDER (1871-1942) may have been a Radomsk chasid, and I want to learn more about the movement's connection with Sosnowiec: addresses of their steiblach and synagogues, lists of rabbis, officials and congregants, and so on.  

Apparently there is a strong Radomsk presence in Bnei Brak today,  but I can't find a link to them. I will be visiting Sosnowiec later this month and would like to have some basic information about the movement's  history there before I leave.

With thanks in advance for any guidance anyone can give

Jewish man from Volyn, Ukraine in which Russian army? #ukraine

N. Summers
 

My grandfather (Sol Finkelstein) was from Radziwillow, Ukraine. He served (voluntarily, I think) in the Russian army during WWI. Apparently he spoke several languages and served as a translator. He was injured and sent to a POW camp, which I think was in/near Vienna. He must have been treated well there as i have a photo of him with two other men, all dressed in military-style uniforms. Will try to post it in ViewMate.
1. Does anyone know which army he would have joined and where?
2. Are there any records which might help?

Thanks
