Re: Classes for Jews under Nazi occupation #germany

Judy Vasos inquired about letters >from relatives in Amsterdam telling
about classes in sewing and English. I don't think I'm being too
cynical if I mention the letters my relatives in Chile received from
Nazi-occupied Berlin. Some told of family members going off to
practice winter sports. Another letter speaks with admiration of how
her husband has slimmed down through exercise. Yet another speaks of
the cozy new living arrangements with other relatives. Breaking the
code: winter sports = deportation; diet and exercise = forced labor,
and co-housing = eviction. None of the letter writers survived. I
hope Judy's did and that they can confirm the benefits of those
classes.

Jacob MARX is not an unusual name. I think it's likely that were are two
people of the same name involved and that the Jacob MARX born in 1880 was
not the one married to Babette AACH. He may well have been a member of the
same family.

Need help with links to All-Russia Census #latvia

Julia Bender <jolanka@...>
 

Hi, I need help.I have located members of a family I am researching,
known in America as CHLAVIN, in the 1897 All-Russia Census but when I
click on the links they do not seem to be the correct pages.I have tried
putting in the page numbers but that does not seem to work either.

The people I am tracking are the five with surname HLAWIN, living in
Dvinsk.The census records are easily found with an exact search of the
Latvia database on the surname HLAWIN.

One couple, Nochim and Mascha HLAWIN, are certainly the couple who
immigrate in 1907-08 with five children and are known later as Nathan
and Marsha CHLAVIN.Her father was Berel JOFFE and they are living with
her family in this Dvinsk census record.

I would really love to see the original census sheets -- for one thing,
I'd like to know how the name HLAWIN was spelled in Cyrillic.It's one of
those voiceless fricative deals where it might be transcribed as Hlawin,
Schlawin, Chlawin, or Khlawin depending on the transcriber.

Grateful thanks for any help!

told me many years ago that Eva met and married her husband in the

Outside US/VK you don't change your official name on marriage.
So if your conclusion is based on official documents, perhaps that makes
this incorrect.

I know > absolutely nothing about Eva's husband except that he survived the war.
I would like at least to know his given name, and where and when he was
born, but with a surname that's also a very common English word, and no
other information, I've come up empty on every search. I've tried
FamilySearch, Yad Vashem and the US Holocaust Memorial Museum. Can
anyone suggest where else I might search for information about him?

Rudnik & Kozowa/Galicia (Poland and Ukraine) Cadastral Maps just posted in the GG Map Room #ukraine

Pamela Weisberger
 

Two new maps were just published on the Gesher Galicia Cadastral Map Room:

Rudnik Cadastral Map 1853

http://maps.geshergalicia.org/cadastral/rudnik-1853/

A full-color lithographed cadastral map of the town of Rudnik (Rudnik
nad Sanem, Ridnik, Riduk) on the river San, surveyed and lithographed
in 1853. This excerpt of the full map includes the entire northern
half, with the town center and all residential and business buildings;
the southern half of the cadastral area (not shown) includes some
tilled and grazing parcels plus extensive forest land. The
well-developed town core includes a large town hall, an estate and
ornamental gardens, Jewish and Catholic cemeteries, a church, canals
and water control for a large mill complex. Extensive redline
revisions for a future edition of the map include clearance and right
of way for the future railroad southwest of the market square.

Kozowa Cadastral Map 1846

http://maps.geshergalicia.org/cadastral/kozowa-kozova-1846/

A partial, full-color cadastral field sketch (feldskizzen) map of the
town of Kozowa (Kozova, Kosowa, Kosev) >from an initial survey of 1846.
Although only a few sheets of this map have survived for archiving,
those covering the business and residential center are preserved. The
sketch is rough and only a partial fit could be made, but buildings
and parcels are carefully annotated and numbered, including a Jewish
section south of the market square. Also shown on the map are Roman
Catholic and Greek Catholic churches, large estate grounds, as well
as a few properties still marked 'unknown'(unbekannt) at the time
of the survey.
