Re: immigration guidance needed #general

A. E. Jordan
 

Did you look at the end of the passenger list where they list the
detained people, how long they were detained any what happened?

Guess would be because some of them were minor children that they were
detailed at Ellis Island until the parents or a guardian could claim
them.

I have found 3 siblings that traveled to New York >from Bremen
November 10, 1907 to New York on the ship Witttekind. Their
papers say "Detained". Their ages are between 14 and 23. Any
thoughts why they would be detained.

To me it sounds like Lastchev, Poland -- spelled Laszczow
This was formerly part of Russia as well.

Here is my website for the town. Sadly, I don't think there are any
Holocaust survivors >from this locale. The entire Jewish population
(which was nearly 100% of the town) was murdered.

Searching Maurice PEPPER, London --> Canada #general

Aubrey Jacobus <aajacobus@...>
 

Maurice PEPPER born Aug 1905 London of Dutch Jewish parentage whose
mother died in his childbirth was abandoned by his father who
emigrated to USA. He was fostered by the Salvation Army with a
non-Jewish family. I found he arrived in Quebec Canada 1 July 1923
( Ship Name: Montrose ) with a party of 20 other youths under the
auspices of the Salvation Army destined for farm work . The Salvation
Army records have on information of him thereafter. He was my wife's
2nd cousin and I am anxious to trace his descendants especially since
they may be not aware of their Jewish ancestry .
Any assistance in find the end to this tragic story would be greatly
appreciated

translation of Yiddish, identification of photo #latvia

Diane Sophrin
 

Hello all,
I've just posted a photo of Chaim Icek BIERZWINSKI walking down a city
street, along with the short text written on its verso. I'd very much
appreciate a direct translation of the text.
Also, any thoughts about the photo would be most welcomed. Perhaps the
location is described in the text? The photo was identified by a
relative as being taken in NYC, but I don't think that is likely. I
know that Chaim only briefly visited NYC once in 1934, before returning
to Europe. The uniform of the soldier on the right doesn't look to me
like that of an American soldier in 1934. Also, the paving stones on
the sidewalk seem unlike any I ever saw in NYC (where I grew up, albeit
much later). Any ideas about the place of the photo would be welcome,
as would any identification of the two women walking alongside Chaim.

The photo and the verso text are now posted on ViewMate at the following
addresses:

Re: meaning of "Middle Eastern Jewish" #dna

Does "Middle Eastern Jewish" (FamilyFinder results) mean Sephardic?

Regards
Debbie Estis
Murrieta, CA

===

I believe that when FTDNA reports in the Population Finder that you are
Middle Eastern (Jewish) it only means that you are Jewish. There is no
distinction among the various Jewish diasporas.

As far as I know, the population finder uses the self reported ethnicity
of tested individuals to build a database of genetic profiles. For
example, if you report that all four of your grandparents are Jewish, or
Chinese, it may use that information to build a profile of typical Jewish
(or Chinese) DNA. It then compares the DNA of individuals who take the
Family Finder test to the database to find the best match, which may be
composed of one or several ethnicities.

In my case, all four of my grandparents were Jewish, half of them
Ashkenazi and half Sepharadi. They were all born in Europe. FTDNA
reports me as 100% Middle Eastern (Jewish). I think "Middle Eastern" is
just a label that indicates the ancient geographic source of all people
who have "Jewish DNA".
