Remember "Young Frankenstein" where on being addressed as Frankenstein
he says "That's Fronkensteen".

Dear Reseachers,

Perhaps the following weblinks might also be useful:

The Polish state archives keep a register of all adult male Jews
living in Posen (now Poznan) on March 26th, 1832 compiled by the
city authorities.

The original is held by the Polish state archive in Pile.
"Nachweisung aller der jenigen maennlichen alttestamentarischen

http://www.wbc.poznan.pl/dlibra/publication?id=108697&tab=3

For Posen researchers the following database might also be interesting:

http://rechtman.com/posen.htm (Jewish death Records 1831-1835)

Researchers of Krotoschin find a similar database of jewish inhabitants
under: [This page is only in German. Google and others offer free
web page translators.] http://baza-nazwisk.de

It contains a register of names and family relations, houseowners from:

Jewish inhabitants of Krotoszyn (Krotoschin) in the 19th and 20th century.

Bendorf-Sayn/the Jacoby Institute Records? #germany

Peter Vanlaw
 

Hi Gersiggers,

I recently discovered a cousin, Felicitas WEINLAUB, who died in the
notorious asylum at Bendorf-Sayn, formerly know as the Jacoby Institute
before the Nazis took over. My cousin was euthanized by the Nazi doctors
in March 1942, and buried in an unmarked grave, in the Jewish cemetery
in the town, according records at the cemetery. Can anyone suggest
additional sources where I may be able to find out when and why she was
committed, and whether she was committed for mental problems or physical
disabilities or both? Thanks,

Re: Cause of death: Syphilis #lithuania

Harvey Kabaker
 

I think it was a mistake to include the word "syphilis" in connection
with tabes (sounds like babies) as a cause of death. Not sure where it
came in, but as I read Stephen Weinstein's original post, the term
"tabes syphilis" appeared in a record in the Lithuania database.

As Stephen describes the Russian word, it transliterates as Sukhotki,
and translates as tabes. A medical reference describes tabes as
emaciation, wasting away, >from chronic illness. Given the state of
medical knowledge at the time, it makes more sense to see this as a kind
of blanket diagnosis for the effects of starvation, malnutrition,
perhaps TB, failure to thrive in infants, withering in old age, and so on.

As Dr. Rosett pointed out, tabes dorsalis describes a neurological
degeneration of the back as a complication of syphilis. Here, syphilis
is a cause, not a definition, of tabes.

Suggestions to break brick wall - ROSENBERG #general

Penni Nussbaum <penni.nussbaum@...>
 

Hi,

I have been successful in tracing some of the branches (all from
Poland) of my tree but cannot get past the United States on my
great-grandfather Joseph ROSENBERG. I was wondering if someone could
offer suggestions on where I can look.

What I know:

Name: Joseph Rosenberg
Birth April 1 1869 as per his death certificate
Birthplace: Vilna Russia as per his NY State Affidavit for License
to Marry in 1914 (this was his second marriage as he was widowed
6 months earlier)
Mother: Dora KNOP (as per NY State Affidavit for License to Marry
& Death cert)
Father: Jacob Irving (as per his death cert)
Arrival: between 1880 & 1882 (as per 1900 and 1910 census)
Marriage to my GGrandmother 1887 as per census
Always lived in Brooklyn
Died: May 28 1927 in Brooklyn

1st daughter born 1888 was named Dora so his mom was probably
deceased by then

No sons born of 1st were named Jacob or Irving. The last son was born
to 1st wife was born 1903. Son born to 2nd wife in 1916 was named
Irving so perhaps named after father.

What I cannot find:

1887 Marriage cert - perhaps it does not exist

Ship manifest or any proof of arrival

Any information in Vilna Lithuania records for a Joseph (Yossi)
Rosenberg or his father Jacob (Yakov) Rosenberg

Looked in Jewishgen.org _LitvakSig and JewishGen
Lithuania Database

Thanks

Hi All,

Benjamin GULBIN emigrated to the US in 1891, probably >from either Mogilev or
Bobruisk Belarus, followed in 1893 by his wife Rose and three children
Dora,Max and Annie. He was a house painter and lived in Brooklyn NY where
three more children,Minnie, Meyer, and John were born.

My father, Isaac GELFAND came to the US in 1906. When he applied for
citizenship in 1909 he was living with the GULBINS; Benjamin GULBIN was
also a witness on the application.

I have some evidence that Rose GULBIN was my father's aunt and would
like to contact her descendants.
