I'm very pleased about the interest in the workshop I'm presenting at the

for this session opens on Sunday and will continue until the numbers
exceed available computers. I believe that we can handle 25 students per
session. The session will be on Thursday, August 17, >from 2:45 to 4 pm.

This promises to be an outstanding conference. Click on http://

time for the Hungarian SIG business meeting, which will be held right
before the workshop >from 1:15 PM - 2:30 PM on Thursday, and the Hungarian
SIG luncheon at 12:30 on Tuesday, Aug. 15. We're working out
arrangements w. our luncheon speaker and hope to have an announcement

Slovak translation needed #hungary

Dear H-Siggers,

I'm planing to write to the register office in Chonkovce, a village not far
from
Sobrance (east Slovakia), where my ELOVITS (ELOVIC) family lived.

I hope that writing in Slovakian will help me get a positive reply and I
would
most appreciate if anyone with Slovak language skills can help me translate
the letter
(of few lines >from it) >from English. Its about 1 page.

Please contact me privately if you can help.

Many thanks for your help and Shabat Shalom,

Tomer Brunner, Israel.

Polish names #general

from PolishRoots, I learn that the endings "owicz" means "son of" and
"-ewna" means an unmarried woman.
Two questions:
1) does "-ewena" give me any information about the woman's father's name?
(Judelewena=daughter of Judel?), and
2) what if JRI Poland records "so-and-so ber X-owicz" - is this the son of
the son of X (I am presuming "ber" is, in fact "ben," but please correct me
if you think I err), or the son of X?
