question about Krzepice #poland

Renee Steinig
 

Abe Morgenstern z"l, a survivor, died last week. In his 1988 interview
with the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum
(https://collections.ushmm.org/search/catalog/irn512523), Abe referred
to his birth place -- a town that sounds like "Shrepitz," about 30 km
from Czestochowa.
Could the place be Krzepice? (To hear for yourself, the mention of
the town comes at about 00:20 on the video.)

Thanks for any light you can shed.

Jewish genealogy is coming to the Kansas City area.

We are forming a new Jewish Genealogical Society of Greater Kansas City
(JGSGKC). If you are in the Kansas City area please join us at our first
meeting.

Monday evening, January 22, 2018
6:30 pm to 8:00 pm
Johnson County Central Resource Library (Logan Room)
9875 W. 87th Street, Overland Park, Kansas

At the meeting, we'll ask you to tell us about your Jewish genealogy
interests and about the kind of programs and presentations that would be
most useful to you. We'll also spend some time discussing some
administrative stuff, e.g. what day of the week and time of day is best for
our program meetings, developing a web and social media presence, etc.
If time permits, we'll have a short presentation about some basic Jewish
family history resources that are available for your research.

Our goals are to:

* Help you learn about the most current methods, resources,
technologies, and techniques to help you achieve your goals;
* Help you network with other researchers whose ancestors were >from
the same old country areas as yours;
* Keep you up-to-date with occasional e-mail messages and
announcements >from discussion lists on the Web, and with regular
meetings through the year.

For more information or if you have any questions please contact:

Ron Doctor <rddpdx@...>, or,

SPERBER from Sieniawa #galicia

Joseph Lonstein
 

Dear SIG,

In the JRI-Poland records I recently found an unknown (to me) sister of
my great-grandfather. I'm now searching for her descendants. The
family is:

Marim SCHYRAK/SHERAK/SZYROK (b. 1874), daughter of Solomon
SCHYRAK/SHERAK/SZYROK >from Sieniawa and Reisl SCHIPPER >from
Kanczuga. Marim SCHYRAK/SHERAK/SZYROK married in Sieniawa to
Moses Wolf SPERBER (b. 1870), son of Lieb SPERBER and Lea LAUFER.
Moses Wolf SPERBER had a sister named Sara Gitla LAUFER
(not SPERBER) married to Munie VERSTANDIG in Sieniawa.

Children of Marim SCHYRAK/SHERAK/SZYROK and Moses Wolf
SPERBER:

1) Liebish (b. 1900) - deported >from Vienna and killed in Auschwitz. I
cannot find anything more about him online at Yad Vashem or other
databases (DOEW, GenTeam.at, Holocaust.cz)
2) Beile (b. 1902)
3) Samuel (b. 1904, d. 1905)
4) Mendel (b. 1906)
5) Lea (b. 1909)
6) Zelig (b. 1911)

I found other SPERBERs >from Sieniawa a generation older than these
children, and I don't know if there's a connection or not yet: On Ellis
Island database there's an Israel SPERBER (b. 1874) coming to NYC in
1893, Sam SPERBER (b. 1887) coming to NYC in 1905 to meet a Vinea
Raudsis (Raudnitz?), and Liebish SPERBER (b. 1872) coming to NYC in
1898 to meet sister E. BURSTEIN. I can trace these three men in the
U.S. Census records, but so far find no connection. Elsewhere I found
an Abraham SPERBER (b. 1892) >from Sieniawa who was killed in
Brussels in 1942.

I would love to hear >from anyone with a connection to this family - no
SPERBERs >from Sieniawa appear on JGFF - or suggestions for leads on
the SCHYRAK/SPERBER children named above.

Thank you,

Well, theoretically they have origins as two different Hebrew male names:
Shlioma is a Yiddish variant of the Hebrew name Schlomo/Solomon and
Schimel is a diminutive of the Hebrew name Shimon/Simon. I write
"theoretically" because, as was often the custom, a Jewish person's
formal religious name and their secular name could be different and (to
add to the confusion) the secular name might change with fashion or
necessity. My approach on those cases is that until I can find supporting
documents, which conclusively link the two names together as one person,
I work with the material but treat it as potentially unreliable.

My mother would like to learn about someone who lived with her family for s=
everal months in Budapest in early 1944. This woman was a refugee >from ano=
ther country, probably there illegally. Her accent was German/Austrian. Sh=
e said her name was Klari Goldberg. She asked the family not to ask questi=

My grandfather was involved with the Zionists in Budapest during that time,=

Does anyone know a way to find out about such refugees?

Re: Are the names the same? Shlioma and Shimel #general

David Ziants
 

Richard Friedman <richfriedman@...> asked whether first names
Shlioma and Shimel are the same.

I would say generally not (although what are supposed to be different
names sometimes become convoluted):-
Shlioma - A Yiddish version of the Hebrew name Shlomo - often rendered
in English as Solomon.
Shimel - A Yiddish version of the Hebrew name Shimon - often rendered in
English as Simon.

Re: Resuming Lookups in NYC #general

Banai Lynn Feldstein
 

Allan offers look-ups in NYC, but I want to clarify to everyone what
is available for NYC without a visit to the Municipal Archives. You
may save yourself and Allan some time.

FamilySearch has a huge number of NYC records available. In some
cases, they have an index online, and the images are browseable, but
they do not have a link between the two.

NYC Naturalizations are available online for most NYC area courts.
The major exception is the Bronx County Court; they have the index
but not the naturalization documents. Most other courts are available
online, >from your home, on FamilySearch. They are all indexed
somewhere online, sometimes on Ancestry, but those indexes give you
the information you need to find the record on FamilySearch. (Yes, NY
Supreme Court is on FamilySearch; the index is on Ancestry.)

NYC Vital Records -- births, marriages, and deaths -- are now
available >from FamilySearch but only >from within the Family History
Library (FHL) or a Family History Center (FHC). Again, the index on
FamilySearch does not link to those browseable images, but they are
easy to find using either the FamilySearch index, or ItalianGen,
and/or Steve Morse's site. Simply search the catalog for the film
number, then browse the film to find the record you need.

According to Allan, FamilySearch has the same births and marriages,
while the Municipal Srchive has a few more years of deaths available.

The marriage licenses are not available >from FamilySearch.
Additionally, stillbirths and some other records with S or D in the
certificate number are not at FamilySearch but I believe are at the
Municipal Archive.

The 1890 Police Census is available >from Ancestry. FamilySearch also
has an index online you can search >from home, and the images are
browseable >from their FHCs.

FamilySearch's browseable images may not always be found >from their
"Records" section. You may need to find the items in the "Catalog",
where you will find a camera icon next to the films. A camera with a
key over it means you must be in an FHC to see the images.

Remember that records >from FamilySearch are free, so if you can get
to an FHC, you do not need to pay for copies of many of the records.
Printing copies will cost money. I've heard that some centers charge
for saving digital copies, but not all and I don't know if that's
true of saving digitized copies or just for making new digital images
from films. (I don't think that saving something already digitized
will cost anything, but I only know the FHL in SLC, where scans are
always free.)

For records that are indexed on Ancestry, the FHC offers free access
to that site as well, as do some public libraries.

If you cannot get to an FHC or the FHL in Salt Lake City, there are
other people who can help you to retrieve the images. It just sounds
like Allan has a lot of work to do, and a backlog of requests, so
some of your requests could probably be found without his help and he
can concentrate on the records that are not otherwise available outside
of NYC.

I am going to be resuming lookups in the New York area.

Generally I offer if anyone needs documents >from the New York Municipal
Archives or naturalizations or Manhattan probate. I will also be doing the
NY Public Library lookups.

Yes I can retrieve the City Clerk marriage licenses, the ones where
the indexes went on line recently, and up to 1950 is available at the
Archives.

As a reminder I can only access births through 1909, marriages through 1937,
City Clerk licenses through 1950 (after that requires going to the marriage
bureau); and deaths through 1948.

I can also do the 1890 Police Census which is not online but that requires
very specific information >from you.

Also I can do naturalizations at the NY Supreme Court which is in the same
building and probates for Manhattan.

Names of Rabbis in Port Said #rabbinic

Abuwasta Abuwasta
 

Dear Genners,

The Jewish community in Port Said existed there between 1869-1956. At
the highest point in the 1920 it had around 1,000 members. It was
composed of three groups: Adenis, Sephardic and Ashkenazi. >from the
little we know most of the time there was a Rabbi who was also the
Shochet and Mohel.

I managed to gather so far the names of the following Rabbis:

Zalel Mandelbaum- Rabbi of the *Sephardic*!!! community,?-1905

Yitchak Yedid Halevi Sephardi 1910?- 1916

Nissim Binyamin Ohana " 1920-1930?

Yeshayahu Lurie Ashkenazi during the 1930. Not sure whether
he was the Rabbi, but was the Head of the Ashkenazi Community.

Menahem Azouz Sephardic 1938

Meir Shbabu Sephardi in the 1940s

I have no idea about the Rabbis in the 1870=1890 years an have some
gaps and unclear dates in the 20th century.

Any additions will be highly appreciated.
