We just received a second book by Margit Naarmann entitled
"Von Ihren Leuten Wohnt hier keiner mehr" (Your people don't live here any
more),
which chronicles the Jewish families that lived in Paderborn in the 1930s.
1. The first part is a history of the Jews of Paderborn until 1933. (pp
21-24)
2. The National Socialist Time Period (pp. 25- 102)
3. Biographical (pp.103-506) Details of about 110 Jewish Families.
(I can provide the list of families on request, but not here and now)

Appendices include:
JewIsh Cemetry- Warburger Strasse
"Arianized" Jewish property in Paderborn
List of Names on the Memorial in Paderborn
Tables of Jewish individuals and families
Tables of the children and staff of the Jewish orphanage in Paderborn.

Dr. Naarmann's first book was entitled: "Jews of Paderborn, 1802 - 1945

Both books were written in German !

I will be pleased to do any lookups for familiy names or data in the Tables.
E-mail me direct, please and allow time to answer.

Searching BLINDER family - Flatbush, Brooklyn, NY #general

Michael Trapunsky <mtrap@...>
 

Hi,

I'm searching for any descendants of the BLINDER family originally from
Vilna/Vilnius and the surrounding areas in Lithuania.

My great great great grandparents, David BLINDER and Gitel COHEN (born
between the 1830's to early 1840's), had either BLINDER descendants or
relatives who, in the 1930's or so, lived on (or around) Kings Highway in
the Flatbush area of Brooklyn, New York, USA. I don't know what happened to
them afterwards.

If anyone knows of this family I would love to hear back >from you regarding
this.

Thanks very much.

Re: Recording Hebrew vs Yiddish names in database #general

Jessica Schein <jesshschein@...>
 

Some comments on all your responses:

In having received a bunch of responses, I find that the question seems
to have been answered backwards by many of you. I wanted to know
whether to change the "Hebrew" names to "Yiddish" or Birth Name since
the Hebrew name was not the Religious name. I had no problem with what
to do about the non Religious names. The point was that an obviously non
-Religious name (especially for the women) was being mis-labeled. What
our sources (current descendants) were calling a Hebrew name was
actually their secular birth name. I wanted to know if it was reasonable
to worry that people would be offended by our correcting this.

Another point that kept getting missed. I was talking about recording
the data in software. We are not talking about absolute interpretation.
Remember part of doing genealogy is to be able to communicate the
information to others. If no one understands what you are doing, you
have failed, no matter how "good" your data.

When your are creating family trees and other documents to share with
your family or a world-wide family tree you have to make certain
decisions so that you can accommodate the majority of your needs. I
don't think most of the respondents are taking this into account.

In the case of the multiple names, I was specifically looking at the
first generations out of Eastern Europe. Generally, it was these folks
who had a multiplicity of names. How do you avoid confusion and print
out a chart or narrative so that others get what you mean easily? How
were people known? Too many self-created terms will only confuse the
readers.

Remember that this is a *Genealogy* newsgroup not a Eastern European
Jewish History group.

Anyone else think there should be some genealogical standard for this?

if the topic isn't played out yet, for what it's worth, let jump into
this one:

most decent programmes will allow quite lengthy entries, so why not
use as broad a term as possible for the field, such as "aka" ("also
known as")? this also covers non-jewish relatives, as well as those
from other countries who may have changed their names. then, whether
the contents are a nickname, or hebrew, yiddish, or ladino, can be
indicated with small notations such as (n), (h), or (y), etc., as
required.

Re: Revere, Massachusetts newspaper #general

The Boston Public Library Microtext department has microfilm copies of the
Revere Journal as far back as 1881. The information you seek might be
there. The BPL website is http://www.bpl.org Other Boston newspapers--
the Globe, the Herald, the Transcript may have carried the story.

What newspaper would that most likely be carried in?

Profession: Sponger #general

Paula Spier <pspier@...>
 

Does anyone know of a possible translation-interpretation of the world
"sponger" given on an 1891 naturalization?

We think this might be our ancestor, although there are discrepancies.
Our guy came >from Hungary; this one says Austria--which could certainly be
Austria-Hungary. The birth dates and name match exactly. The year of
immigration is off by one year.

This document gives a residence on Columbia Street. Our maan lived on the
lower east side when he first arrived, and then moved to Hell's Kitchen
(11th Avenue between 39th and 40th) where he had a small shop which sold
supplies to butchers. (His brother-n-law was a butcher.) Is there any
way to tie the word "sponger" to such a trade?

I looked in the archives, but cannot find any note for a sponger.

witness at marriage #general

Seesiegel <seesiegel@...>
 

I have located my grandparent's original 1914 marriage certificate, but need to
know about the names signed as witnesses. Would they have been attending the
wedding (and thus possible relatives) or would they have signed it in a
clerk's office. I simply do not want to pursue names if they just happened to
be in the clerk's office at the time. One name looks like a relative and the
other is totally new to me. Mystery name: Benjamin DEUTSCH.

Any feedback on this issue would be helpful. Please email me privately.
