Onesti is in the BACAU county, not Botosani.

I am not aware of ANY "pogrom" in 1879 anywhere in Moldova but of course it is
possible that your relative could have been killed.

Her death certificate at the Bacau office of National Archives may provide
some clue.

In general I find that the term "pogrom" is being used with not much relation
to the history of Jews in Romania, notwithstanding antisemitic incidents were
not uncommon.

Gary,

I saw the post yesterday but it did not completely registered in my mind because I am not well and am not thinking straight so I will ask this: has speech recognition methodology been considered? As I see it, it would be VERY efficient in the case of indexes and the information would go directly into tables.

Now, to JEWISHGEN ADMIN: I AM NOT Flavio Baran. I am Boris Feldblyum. How many times do I have to ask to fix a simple bug?

Thank you.

Greetings to German Sig users and best wishes for a good Chanukah,
of most importance, a healthy and happy new year. My name is Jack Hubert
and I have been a member of Jewish Gen for many years. I am a user of
the internet, not an expert but enough to get by. I have received from
the archivist at Gunzenhausen information regarding the HUBERT family
history.
For example, the daughters of Low HUBERT 1779-1852 born in Cronheim
Bavaria Germany and his wife Hindel born in 1777. Hanna, Rika and
Zilli. According to the info provided all three were born during
the years 1810-1817. Hanna married a man whose last name was WAHLHEIMER.
Hanna may be known as Helena. Rika married a man whose last name was STARK
. Ricka may be known as Rebecca, or Regina.
Zilli married a man whose last name was HERRMANN.
Zilli may be known as Lilli.
If any of the members of the German Sig within their family history have
a record of the marriage please advise.

Re: UKRAINE RECORDS – SCANNING BY ALEX KRAKOVSKY & PRESERVATION BY JEWISHGEN

Stefani Elkort Twyford
 

Thanks to Phyllis Berenson for pointing out all the valuable work that Alex Krakovsky does for the Ukrainian reseachers.
This has not been easy for Alex. It seems that ever archive throws up illegal roadblocks to scanning by either Alex or others. He's spent the past few years taking each archive to court and while he has been winning, it doesn't seem to deter the Ministers from concocting new and ridiculous impediments to archive access.

Alex recently reached out in a video on Facebook, asking for Jewish researchers and Jewish Genealogical Societies to send him letters in support of his work that he can show to the archive managers in Kiev.  I am encouraging each of you to take a moment and send Alex an email at alexkrakovsky@... telling him why access to the records is so important to you and your JGS. Here is a copy of the letter I sent him. Feel free to edit it to meet your needs:

Hello,
 
I am the president of the Greater Houston Jewish Genealogical Society. GHJGS has over 50 members who have been actively working to find records of their ancestors, many who come from former Russia and now part of current day Ukraine. Because of the numerous pogroms against Jews and wars, we are aware that many archive records were destroyed. But we are also aware that there are numerous archive records that remain; some moved around and relocated to other archives. 
 
Because of our physical distance from Ukraine, we have been dependent on researchers in each locale finding, photographing and transcribing the records for us. Alex Krakovsky has been most helpful to thousands and thousands of our US based researchers for the work he is doing in the various archives in Ukraine. We understand that he continues to face censure as various archives claim he is violating privacy act. Keep in mind that the records we are researching are mostly at least 100 years or more old and there is no one alive today that could be compromised by these archives being published.
 
Likewise, I also do volunteer work for an organization JewishGen.org which is an international genealogical group that is working diligently to find, copy and transcribe records for the hundreds of thousands of researchers who are hoping to traces of their ancestors in the towns their families once called home.
 
I hope you will reconsider your blocking of Jewish records to all of our researchers. It is quite important to us and we hope you will help us in our quests.
 
Best wishes,
Stefani Elkort Twyford

To Steven Katz:

As was noted in Phyllis Berenson's announcement the Kamenets-Podolsky project is a pilot project done to establish proof of concept for new methodology for translation projects.

Alex Krakovsky has numerous records posted from Novograd-Volyn district.  I understand your impatience about translation projects - I share that being a town leader for two shtetls in the Ukraine - If we continue on the current method of town leaders submitting proposals, getting that approved, raising the funds and then getting paid translators, it will take several lifetimes to process all the data that Alex K is now making available. That is why I am pushing this new methodology

My suggestion to you is just as soon as we can complete the K-P pilot project we will make an announcement and then I expect there will be many projects being proposed using this methodology.  Review the data available in the Alex K wiki for your town and start thinking about a proposed project.  The biggest limitation at that time will be the number of volunteers we can assemble to transcribe the data in Cyrillic.

Sincerely

Re: UKRAINE RECORDS – SCANNING BY ALEX KRAKOVSKY & PRESERVATION BY JEWISHGEN

Stephen Katz
 

A few years back I was pleading, without success, for the powers that be to pay attention to records from Novograd-Volinskiy (Zvhil). This important town was largely ignored when it came to translation and other projects. The excuse I always got was along the line of, "so many towns, so few resources."  Now I see that, for the new pilot project, Kamenets-Podolsky has been chosen. Now, I've got nothing against Kamenets-Podolsky and I wish the "pilot project" well, but this gives me an opportunity to renew my plea for something, some time, to be done involving records from Novograd-Volinskiy.
I do recall that some time ago there was a project to identify records from N-V, as the starting point for obtaining and translating them. After it got started, I heard nothing further. What ever happened to that project??

Hi Haley

You also posted your request on Tracing the Tribe - Jewish Genealogy on Facebook. In a very short time (less than an hour), our experts found and posted many documents for your family - none of those items showed any Jewish connections. Many experts are on TTT as well as here at JewishGen. Good luck in your continued search!

Re: Jewish Migration #belarus #poland #ukraine

Mark,  you are right, this is not Revision List  (Revizskaya Skazka).  Revision List was only issued on particular years and I think the last Revision #10th was completed in 1859.

There are many other lists we worked with, and put them in the same format as Revision Lists.

 

The title of this list is saying that this is “Family List of Jews, men who lived in Bessarabia Gubernia in town of Khotin”.  It does not mention conscription in any place.

 

 

In addition to this list, we used to have “Special List”, “Common List”, “Pre-Conscription List”,  and also All Russia Census of 1897.  Unfortunately records from the last list is very hard to find.  I only was able to get a few family records from that list.

 

If anyone knows where to get records from All Russia Census of 1897 from Bessarabia, I would be glad to hear.

 

By the way, as I see you are part of Gesher Galicia. It is clear that I did not list any place in Galicia, even though there were many Jews from Galicia living in Bessarabia, and the reason is that Jews from Galicia where not on that list,  but they were part of other list “Foreign Jews lived in Bessarabia”.  We have many such lists for residence of different towns with Jews citizens of Austria, Italy, Turkey, Holland, Greece.

Reintroduction and a question #romania

I would like to reintroduce myself to the group to see if anyone has
information about a specific unsavory incident in Moldavia.

Oral history in my family has it that about 1879 my great-great-grandmother
Mimi IUSTER HERSHKOWITZ was killed in a progrom.  The documents I have found
(few and far between) indicate that my great-great-grandfather brought four of
their five children to New York shortly thereafter, and indicate that the
family lived in Onesti before they emigrated to the US via Hamburg.

So, does anyone know of any lists of Jews killed in the 1879 progroms in the

Jejse (Yeysi), Belarus #belarus #lithuania

er raisuli
 

Would anyone have information on Jejse (Yeysi), Belarus, a village 7 km east of the town of Braslaw, Belarus? (Please note, this nearby Breslaw is in what was considered “Lita” and is not Bratslav, Ukraine or Breslau, Germany/Wroclaw, Poland). 

 

 

Jejse was in the area which together with Vilna was controlled by Poland between the wars. Today no village appears on a map where Jejse stood. 

 

There is a personal account discussing the fate of the Jews of the village during the Holocaust together with those of Breslaw in “Emesh shoa; yad le-kehilot - gevidmnt di kehiles Braslav, Opsah, Okmenits, Dubinah, Zamosh,Zarats, Ya'isi, Yod, Slobudkah, Plusi, Kislovshtsiznah, Rimshan (Israel).”  Otherwise there is very little information online on Jejse before or during the war. 

 

Any information you may have on Jejse will be appreciated, including:

-Map of the town itself, documents, pictures, 

-Family stories about life there

-Synagogue, was this in the village?

-Cemetery-was there one in the village, or were burials elsewhere, such as in Braslaw?

 

Thank you,

Lithuania/LitvakSIG - new data from the Vilnius household registers project

Russ Maurer
 

LitvakSIG is pleased to announce that batch 8 of the Vilnius household registers is now available to qualified donors.

The registers were created between 1919 and 1940 when Wilno (Vilnius) city and Wilno voivodeship were part of Poland. The registers contain detailed information about everyone who lived in Wilno at that time, as well as information about many visitors. This includes refugees fleeing the Nazis toward Vilnius in autumn of 1939. The registers will potentially hold discoveries for anyone whose family was in that general area, which today includes parts of Lithuania, Belarus, and northeast Poland. I urge you to check the free batch previews described below, even if you don’t think your family was ever in Vilnius. There have already been unexpected discoveries. There are countless mentions of locations outside the immediate Vilnius area.

As this is a very large project that will go on for years, we are releasing data in batches of about 5000 lines. Batch 8, containing 5018 lines, includes data from just two addresses: an enormous apartment building at Szopena 3 and a smaller building at Wielka Stefanska 4.  You can find these streets on our Vilnius
interactive street map  (https://www.litvaksig.org/vilnius-map/). To help you determine if this batch or a previous batch is relevant to your research, you can review a file containing previews of all eight batches to date (http://tinyurl.com/VHR-previews). The batch preview is a bare-bones version of the batch spreadsheet containing just the full name and year of birth (or age) of each person. The previews are presented both in original order and alphabetically by surname. The previews also include instructions to qualify to receive the full batch data.

After about 18 months, batch 8 will be added to our free, searchable, All-Lithuania database.

More information about the Vilnius household registers can be found on  the VHR home page, https://www.litvaksig.org/research/special-projects/vilnius-household-registers.  Any inquiries related to VHR should be directed to me at vhrproject@....

UKRAINE RECORDS – SCANNING BY ALEX KRAKOVSKY & PRESERVATION BY JEWISHGEN

Phyllis Berenson
 

Alex Krakovsky, a Jewish Ukrainian, is using freedom of information laws and the court system in Ukraine to force archives to allow him to scan their records, as was never before permitted.  He then posts them online to a wiki page, yielding a massive amount of raw data for the Ukraine researcher.  Alex uses high resolution scanning equipment to scan virtually all records in an archive, posting to a wiki just for Jewish records.  He has spent a great deal of time and his own money doing this important work and constantly battling a very difficult government system. He has also received funds donated for purchase of state-of-the-art scanners, which are now in use in most Ukraine archives.

The Ukraine Research Group, under a team headed by Gary Pokrassa, our Data Acquisition Director, is working to capture and preserve the scanned files on the JewishGen server, which includes Index files for several larger cities including Kiev and Zhitomir, as well as multiple un-indexed records. 

 

At present we have over 285,000 pages of documents already loaded on our server, but we have less than half of what Alex has already published and he uploads new files every day. We are working hard to catch up to him.  These are massive files which should exceed 1TB of information.

 

We have several transcription projects underway.  We have selected Kamenets-Podolskiy for a pilot project using metric records from 1875-1888 as posted by Alex Krakovsky, to work with these files using innovative methodology which we hope will be a prototype for future translation projects by just creating our own indexes.  Since the information in index files are very simple, just listing the surname, given name, year and record number, we are going to use a team of people who are fluent in Russian to transcribe (not translate) the names and other information in Cyrillic into a printed spreadsheet and then use the facility on the SteveMorse.org site to transliterate the names.

 

This opens up an entire pool of volunteers not previously utilized and will rapidly be able to generate online searchable index records.  The main concern of a researcher is to first find the names and desired records.  Once published, this data will allow a researcher to quickly identify and locate a record of interest; then the actual record can be found on the wiki and can then be translated using ViewMate or other means.  This pilot program is under the direction of Joel Spector and Gary Pokrassa.

 

We are deeply grateful to Alex Krakovsky for his work and his underlying belief that all archived records should be available and free to the public.  We believe the data he captures and this methodology will be a game-changer for Ukraine research, and will enhance the researcher’s ability to identify and locate records of interest.

 

 And special thanks to Gary Pokrassa, Joel Spector, and the team for their thorough dedication to preserve these vital data.
