Recognizing Michael Tobias for His Work #warsaw #poland

Dear JewishGen Volunteers, Colleagues, and Community Members,

Thanks in large part to the steadfast work of our dedicated and expert
community, JewishGen.org has seen another year of remarkable growth,
community development, and new resources.

As the year comes to a close, I am writing in the hope that you'll
join me in thanking Michael Tobias for his phenomenal service to our
beloved organization. At the end of this month, Michael will leave
JewishGen as a full-time staff member. However, as many of you know,
his work will have a lasting impact.

For more than two decades, as a volunteer and then as a full-time
staff member, Michael has made critical contributions to both
JewishGen and the broader Jewish genealogical community. The
historical databases that he innovated and developed have allowed
JewishGen to take our place as the largest digital repository for
Jewish family history information in the world.

Our databases, which currently contain more than 30 million Jewish
records, have helped reconnect thousands of Jewish families and
inspired them to consider what it means to be part of the Jewish
people. Many meaningful family reunions -- including those of Holocaust
survivors and their families -- have resulted >from Michael's passion
and dedication.

Thank you, Michael, for supporting the mission that we all hold dear --
preserving our Jewish family history and heritage for future
generations.

JRI-Poland adds more Galicia Data to the Database #general

Dear Galitzianer Researchers:

Most of you know that in 2015 the Polish legislature passed a law that
reduced the privacy period for marriages and deaths (not births) >from
100 years to 80 years. Within the last 18 months, the AGAD Archive has
received marriage and death registers covering some years >from 1918
through 1937 for 77 towns. Data covering these years is already online
for about 20 of these towns.

Earlier this week, JRI-Poland processed and added a significant volume
of new and/or extended data. This includes about 8,000 new record
indices for eastern Galicia towns as follows:

-- Borszczow 1914, 1916-1929 M
-- Chodorow 1914-1929 M
-- Dunajow 1925-1934 D
-- Kopyczynce 1877, 1879, 1880, 1883, 1885-1914, 1916-1919 M
-- Lysiec 1919-1931 D
-- Mielnica 1898-1914, 1917-1929 M; 1910-1920 D
-- Podwoloczyska 1921-1934 M; 1920-1922 D
-- Sokal 1916-1935 D
-- Szczerzec 1917 B; 1916-1926, 1938, 1930-1932, 1934-1935 D
-- Zalozce 1914, 1916, 1920-1924 M; 1916, 1918-1921 D
-- Zbaraz 1914-1917 B; 1930-1937 M

I want to thank all of our volunteer Town Leaders and all of the
supporters of our AGAD town projects for their backing. Special thank
you to Hadassah Lipsius who coordinates all these uploads and Michael
Tobias, one of the founders of JRI-Poland, who manages our database and
processes and uploads the new data.

There are still over 50 towns with varying amounts of marriage and death
records that need your support to be added to the JRI-Poland database.
This includes the larger towns of Drohobycz, Horodenka, Kolomyja, Lwow,
Sambor, Stanislawow, Stryj, Tarnopol, and Zolkiew plus many other
shtetlach.

With Hanukkah in the rear-view mirror and coming up soon on the New
Year, my colleagues and I at JRI-Poland invite your support for the work
on your town(s). We know that many researchers have found valuable
family information through our online database. We hope that researchers
using our database, who have not contributed in the past, will join with
their landsmen to support further work on their town's records.

Please direct any questions you may have to the Town Leader or to me at
mark@halpern.com.

Wishing you all a very happy holiday and a healthy, happy, and rewarding
(genealogically speaking) 2019.

Request for Polish translation of birth and death records from Krakow #galicia

Barbara Rice
 

Hello fellow researchers,

I am researching my great-great-grandparents Rohssler who were >from
Krakow and recently found the birth records for their eldest two children,
born in Krakow, to Salomon Rohssler and Hani Seidman. There is
additionally a birth record for a stillborn son in 1882. There is also a death
record for an unnamed daughter who died 18 days old in 1879. There's no
mother I can find on that record, only Salomon Rossler and I'm not sure it
is the same Salomon Rohssler as my ancestors. I cannot find a birth
record associated with the baby girl's death.

The Saloman Rossler on the birth records is listed as a barber, which was
his trade in New York. The Salomon Rossler on the death record seems to
be listed as a something else. I've been using GoogleTranslate to figure
out what is on these records with limited success. There are names I
don't recognize and I'm also looking for an address for the birth and I
think towns are given for Hani (the mother) parents but I'm not sure of
this. I believe Hani's father to be Nechemia Seidman and her mother to be
Yetta of Podgorce.

I am hoping someone who knows Polish can translate the information on
the records for me.

There are four records posted on Viewmate and while I am interested in
translation of all of them, what is of most interest to me is an address
and/or towns for the families and then thoughts on whether the 1879
record is for the same family of not.

The records can be viewed on Viewmate at

Please respond with translation on Viewmate. If you want to share

of the records to the list that's fine with me.

Maxwell's Suitcase #galicia

Peter Bein <thinkbig@...>
 

Thank you so much JewishGen for helping to make possible the publication
of my memoir, Maxwell's Suitcase. It is the story of my journey, which was
set in motion by my discovery of a suitcase hidden at the bottom of a
closet for 40 years. It was the suitcase my father had carried on
Kristallnacht when he fled >from Nazi Germany.

On my journey, I retraced my family's steps >from Gorlice and Nowy Sacz,
Poland, to Leipzig, Germany, and then, unfortunately, to the concentration
camp at Belzec. I feel fortunate to have been able to return my
grandmother's name to her in a Stolperstein dedication and to have
discovered some of the past of which my father could not speak.

Heshel Teitelbaum
 

Dear fellow Jewishgenners:

Does anyone live in or near Leipzig who can look up the family of a German
soldier who saved the life of my father during the Holocaust at the cost of his
own life? This family does not know that my father survived the war and raised
a large family. The man is, in our eyes, a Righteous-Among-the-Gentiles. At
the very least I would like to have the family know the particulars of this
man's death and offer them some closure, assuming that he actually had
surviving family.

I have the support of the German Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and the latter
has transferred the case to the German Military Archives. I have also
contacted the guild for this soldier's pre-war profession; and I have posted
on the general German genealogical society's discussion group. This approach
might drag on; so I am hoping to shortcut it by asking for help >from residents
of Leipzig. I have pre-war and post-war (1998) street addresses which no longer
belong to the family; and there are no listed current phone numbers. The
family name was Kaufmann, and he was a furrier by trade.

Are there any pre-war business directories that could indicate the given name
of Mr. Kaufmann?

If anyone lives in the area, I would ask you to knock on the doors of
neighbours and ask for current contact information. This has the potential of
becoming a human interest story, if not progressing to the level of Yad Vashem
recognizing the soldier as a Righteous-Among-the-Nations. And so, failing any
of you living in the area, do any of you know of investigative journalists in
Leipzig who might be sensitive to Holocaust issues and be in a position to do
some legwork?

Thanks.
