Does anyone know of a source for a map of Prague including house
numbers ca. 1942? I have addresses for some ancestors that include
these numbers but have no way of matching them to their modern
addresses.

Thank you.

Shalom,

It would seem that in the last month of 2017, the Yizkor Book Project
continued on it's very positive trend and we are definitely looking
forward to continuing, ever onwards, in 2018. I would like to take
this opportunity to thank the many, many and many volunteers who
tirelessly support the YB project in numerous ways, to the professional
translations who help reveal the hidden treasures in the Yizkor books
and, finally, to the generous donors, without whom, we couldn't go
forward with our projects.

So what did we do in December? To begin with, last month saw us seeing
the final translated pages of an additional three books go online. They
were:

- Chisinau, Moldova (The Jews of Kishinev) The book was entirely and
voluntarily translated by Sheli Fain, to whom we owe a great deal of
thanks. Yefim Kogan was there together with Sheli to help out with the
logistics and scanning and we do appreciate his drive and assistance in
seeing this project to completion.
- Narach (Kobylnik), Belarus (Memorial Book of Kobylnik) This
translation project was energetically coordinated by Anita Gabbay who
managed to arrange its translation in a relatively short period of time
and our indebted thanks do go out to her.
- Stryy, Ukraine (Book of Stryj) The completion of this book, begun many
years ago by Mike Kalt, could not have come about without the great
number of translations by Susan Rosin, supported by translations by
other volunteers, including Yocheved Klausner and Daniella Heller. To
all of these good people, we send out a humble thanks.

Last month, we added in the necrology for Dubrovitsa, Ukraine which
includes a disturbing 2,626 victims >from this community. The necrologies,
apart >from immortalizing the names of the martyrs, also provide us with
significant information about the people, such as details of their
parents, spouses and children. I believe that over the years, we have
placed online the bulk of the necrologies >from the Yizkor books, but our
intention is to continue with this endeavor, till we have completed them
all.

Other important genealogical information we have added in recently, comes
in the form of lists of survivors often noted in the Yizkor books.
Examples of these lists, were the additions last month of a list of 277
survivors >from Krasnik and lists of survivors >from Wolbrom who lived in
Israel at the time of the Yizkor book's publishing. Once again, we will
continue to extract these lists as an important genealogical resource
supplied by the Yizkor books.

And now for details of all the updates and additions that were carried
out in the Yizkor Book Project in December.

My father's father Rafael/Rafal/Rudolph/Rudolf HEBENSTREIT, born 4/15/1888,
either in Belzec or Rawa Ruska, Galicia, Austria, entered the Port of NY on the
SS Baltic on 4/5/1907. He brought with him a ladies 10K gold ring with a
rectangular genuine “old” ruby and a jewelry box containing the inscription
(spelling may be different) "Weinstabl Moriany Ekscerelta, Pozsony" in cursive
script etched in gold on the inside of the box. On the Internet at Wikepedia,
Pozsony was the Hungarian name used in 1900 for what became Bratislava, Slovakia,
in 1919.

I am looking for more information about the jeweler "Weinstabl Moriany Ekscerelta,
Pozsony." My father's father said that his two half brothers, Eisig/Isaak/Isaac
HEBENSTREIT, born 9/10/1880 in Rawa Ruska, Galicia, Austria, and Naftula Hirsh
HEBENSTREIT, born 4/15/1884 in Rawa Ruska, Galicia, Austria, were in the jewelry
business, making it possible that they worked at "Weinstabl Moriany Ekscerelta,
Pozsony."

Alan B. Cohen asked:
My wife recently got a copy of her aunt's. U.S. citizenship papers (1942). They
gave her place of birth as "Zaim Russia" when she arrived in the U.S. in 1909 on
the SS Ryndam >from Hamburg Germany. I've tried to find Zaim without luck. Does
anyone have clues or any search suggestions?

Alan...we have a wonderful toolhere on JewishGen...which enables you
to find towns which hadh Jewish inhabitants and institutions
around1900...called the community pages. The best thing is that you
can search towns using various search tools, (exact spelling,

Alan B. Cohen asked:
My wife recently got a copy of her aunt's. U.S. citizenship papers (1942). They
gave her place of birth as "Zaim Russia" when she arrived in the U.S. in 1909 on
the SS Ryndam >from Hamburg Germany. I've tried to find Zaim without luck. Does
anyone have clues or any search suggestions?

Alan...we have a wonderful toolhere on JewishGen...which enables you
to find towns which hadh Jewish inhabitants and institutions
around1900...called the community pages. The best thing is that you
can search towns using various search tools, (exact spelling,
soundex, fuzzy search) in various timeframes (before WWI, between the
wars, after WWII),
and even better, you can search on the yiddish name of the
town...which immigrants often used on manifests.

Hello my fellow researchers,

I am trying to help a friend research his family. His GGM was Rivka
ALTEIN nee RAND, daughter of Yakov Pinchas and Miriam Rand. She was
married to Mordechai Dov ALTEIN. The paperwork trail indicates that
they were >from Zaleszczyki (her chidleren's passenger manifests)
and Borshchovychi, Ukraine (Rivka's passenger manifest). The
RAND family also seems to be connected to Sadogora.

Recently my friend made a connection to a RAND a family member who had a
book written by a direct descendant of Yakov Pinchas Rand which stated
that their GGM Rivka had married a man named Preminger, first name
unknown, and moved to the U.S.

This was new information for them and now I'm trying to figure out if perhaps the
name Altein was changed >from Preminger or if this was a different marriage.

I've searched the Ukraine, Romanian, Bessarabian, and Polish databases looking for
information and haven't found much. Nothing for Altein, a few records for Rand and
nothing for Preminger.

Also I've tried connecting through the JGFF and FTJP. Also I searched the Yizkor
book name database. So far I've been unable to put the pieces together.

If anyone has a connection to the RAND or PREMINGER family and could
help solve this mystery, I'd appreciate hearing >from you.

Thanks,

Shalom,

It would seem that in the last month of 2017, the Yizkor Book Project
continued on it's very positive trend and we are definitely looking
forward to continuing, ever onwards, in 2018. I would like to take
this opportunity to thank the many, many and many volunteers who
tirelessly support the YB project in numerous ways, to the professional
translations who help reveal the hidden treasures in the Yizkor books
and, finally, to the generous donors, without whom, we couldn't go
forward with our projects.

So what did we do in December? To begin with, last month saw us seeing
the final translated pages of an additional three books go online. They
were:

- Chisinau, Moldova (The Jews of Kishinev) The book was entirely and
voluntarily translated by Sheli Fain, to whom we owe a great deal of
thanks. Yefim Kogan was there together with Sheli to help out with the
logistics and scanning and we do appreciate his drive and assistance in
seeing this project to completion.
- Narach (Kobylnik), Belarus (Memorial Book of Kobylnik) This
translation project was energetically coordinated by Anita Gabbay who
managed to arrange its translation in a relatively short period of time
and our indebted thanks do go out to her.
- Stryy, Ukraine (Book of Stryj) The completion of this book, begun many
years ago by Mike Kalt, could not have come about without the great
number of translations by Susan Rosin, supported by translations by
other volunteers, including Yocheved Klausner and Daniella Heller. To
all of these good people, we send out a humble thanks.

Last month, we added in the necrology for Dubrovitsa, Ukraine which
includes a disturbing 2,626 victims >from this community. The necrologies,
apart >from immortalizing the names of the martyrs, also provide us with
significant information about the people, such as details of their
parents, spouses and children. I believe that over the years, we have
placed online the bulk of the necrologies >from the Yizkor books, but our
intention is to continue with this endeavor, till we have completed them
all.

Other important genealogical information we have added in recently, comes
in the form of lists of survivors often noted in the Yizkor books.
Examples of these lists, were the additions last month of a list of 277
survivors >from Krasnik and lists of survivors >from Wolbrom who lived in
Israel at the time of the Yizkor book's publishing. Once again, we will
continue to extract these lists as an important genealogical resource
supplied by the Yizkor books.

out in the Yizkor Book Project in December.
