Shalom,

If I do say, the past month and, in fact, the last year was a remarkable one
for the Yizkor Book Project and I would like to outline just a little of our
"remarkableness":

To begin with, we completed no fewer than three translation projects just in
this past month and they were:

- Briceni, Moldova (Brichany: its Jewry in the first half of our century)
which was enthusiastically coordinated in recent times by Roberta Jaffer and
in the past by Carol Monosson Edan and Carla Brauer-Lalezari. I do send out
my appreciation to them all for seeing this project through to its
successful completion.

- Golub-Dobrzyn, Poland (In Memory of the Communities Dobrzyn-Gollob) which
was for the most part, translated by the coordinator himself - Allen
Flusberg - and he does deserve our appreciation for his untiring dedication
to seeing this completely translated.

- Ostrow-Mazowiecka, Poland (Ostrow Mazowiecka) which is the second
completed project we have of this community. In this case, it was ably
coordinated by Michael Richman who was driving force behind this outstanding
project.

So, we now have 126 projects online but we certainly aren't sitting on our
laurels and in coming reports, I do anticipate that I will be able to
announce further such successes.

The complete translation of a book allows us, where appropriate, to go on to
the next stage of passing the translation on to the Yizkor Book in Print
Project. They, in turn, carry out their magic and the publish it as a
hard-cover book. So, I am pleased to announce that last month a further
translated Yizkor Book has hit the presses - "The Life and Destruction of
Olshan" which is a complete translation of the Gol'shany, Belarus Yizkor
book. This now makes 53 titles that have been published by the YBIP Project
and made available to the public - a most commendable effort, I must say.

A further piece of encouraging news that I have to report is that in
December additional records were added to our Yizkor Book Main Name Index -
a database whose goal is to list the names appearing in the various Yizkor
books and serves as a very useful research tool. It is no easy task to
prepare such a database and I was grateful to Linda Richman for taking on
the coordination of this project which had been "orphaned" over a period.
With her enthusiasm and help >from her small team, she has allowed us to add
in 20,000 names into the database during 2016 and I do send out my sincere
thanks to Linda and her team for their commendable effort.

Finally, I must thank Max Heffler and his Necrology Database team for adding
in an additional 5,000+ plus names during 2016. This database includes the
names of the victims appearing in the various Yizkor book necrologies and,
once again, provides a useful and unique tool for researchers and as such,
we do appreciate the efforts that go into preparing this database.


And now for details of all the updates and additions that were carried out

I am trying to find pre-1900 historical information about Lubomierz,
Limanowa, Poland, where my maternal grandmother was born. I doubt
I will be able to trace her family much farther back, so I am focusing
on trying to flesh out details about the kind of life she likely led, the
history of the town and the area, etc. I would appreciate any help.

Thank you.

REINSBERG that died for Germany on 10.8.1916 in Bzowika, Galizien.
Does anyone have any idea where Bzowika would have been?

The fighting in 1916 was in the Eastern part of Galicia.

Please let me know.

Thank you in advance.

Hello

The answer is - Absolutely not. Although the names have this inner
bond between them, as recounted in the Talmud. There is a parallel
between the level of significance.

However, practically all of which was used as separate. Sometimes
you can find them together, "Esther Hadassah," and find them each
individually.

As has been pointed out, Hadassah was the "Hebrew" name for Queen Esther
(Esther is believed to have originated >from Astarte), but since then Esther by
itself is considered a Hebrew name in its own right.

Regarding "Hudesa" the name Hudes is a Yiddish diminutive for the Hebrew
name Yehudis / Yehudit (in English Judith).

Walter Rossett was looking for his LOSEFF relatives who reported arriving in
New York City aboard the Carmania in December 1905. He named Schifre LOSEFF
born in 1894 as one of the arrivals.

Using wild cards for Schifre (S*H*F*) born in 1894 and departing >from Liverpool
in late 1905, I found an outbound manifest for Schifre LOSEN [sic] and her
mother and siblings. The siblings included Scholem (Saul/Solomon?) and Daische
(Dora?).

When the family arrived in NYC, Schifre's given name was transcribed as Schipl
but I was still able to find the Losen clan and see that they were headed to a
brother in Chicago.

I suspect that the surname was originally written down as LOSEW (pronounced as
Loseff) and the final character was read incorrectly.

Walter Rossett was looking for his LOSEFF relatives who reported arriving in
New York City aboard the Carmania in December 1905. He named Schifre LOSEFF
born in 1894 as one of the arrivals.

Using wild cards for Schifre (S*H*F*) born in 1894 and departing >from Liverpool
in late 1905, I found an outbound manifest for Schifre LOSEN [sic] and her
mother and siblings. The siblings included Scholem (Saul/Solomon?) and Daische
(Dora?).

When the family arrived in NYC, Schifre's given name was transcribed as Schipl
but I was still able to find the Losen clan and see that they were headed to a
brother in Chicago.

I suspect that the surname was originally written down as LOSEW (pronounced as
Loseff) and the final character was read incorrectly.

Thank you to the many people who have made suggestions regarding searching for
my uncle's story. I have not yet been successful but still have a few new paths
to try.
