Dear Carol;
I have ordered a few things >from the Latvian Archives. They will also
take a personal check, at a slightly higher fee but since this extra
amount is about equal to, or less then what you would pay to buy one
of those money orders, I have done that instead. (I had the same
problem of trying to buy the money order.)
I have not bought anything >from them for a couple of years now, so I
am not certain if they still do this now, but see what they say in the
"payments" section. See also if you could simply "charge it" to some
card, if you want.

Magyar Zsido Lexikon On-Line #hungary

Vivian Kahn
 

Dear Friends,

I was prowling the internet today and was astounded to find that a
searchable digital version of Peter Ujvari's 1929 Magyar Zsido
Lexikon is now on-line at Magyar Elektronikus Konyvtar [Hungarian
Electronic Library] . Click on <http://mek.oszk.hu/04000/04093/html/
index.htm> to find this resource.

The website and the document are both in Hungarian. While it's not
difficult to find entries, translating them is another issue. You
can browse the entire work by clicking on Cimlap or go to http://
mek.oszk.hu/04000/04093/html/cimszo.html#SZ and find the name of
the person or place you are researching. Click on "oldalkep" in the
column on the right and you will find the page where the entry appears.

There have been postings about this marvelous website in the past
but I didn't realize that this work, which is an important source of
information about pre-WWII Hungarian Jewish culture and history was
fully available on-line.

Happy hunting!

*re: Planning a Trip to Kosice/Presov in late June 2007 #hungary

Tom Venetianer <tom.vene@...>
 

Dear Ted,

The first recommendation is about getting inside and around the cemeteries.

1. Both cemeteries (Kosice and Presov): get in touch in advance with the keys keepers; although the Kosice cemetery is easily accessible >from the Catholic cemetery nearby, sometimes that gate is closed too. Your best chance to get the keys is to write to the local Jewish congregations and make arrangements

Zidovska Nabozenska Obec - Kosice
Dr. Jur. Pavol Jur - president
XXXX

Zidovska Nabozenska Obec - Presov
Mr. Desider Landa - president
Svermova ulica 32
XXXX

Both Mr. Jur and Mr. Landa are old gentlemen. <snip> I am not sure they speak English but both speak Slovak and Hungarian. Call them because they do not reply to letters. At least that was my experience.

2. Kosice's Jewish cemetery is HUGE (over 5,000 graves) therefor if you plan to visit it make sure you know which plots you are looking for. Wandering around, in the search of a grave can take days. You can search the cemetery's database at <http://www.cemetery.sk/english/?pid=630>. There are two cemeteries, separated by a simple fence: the reform and the orthodox. The later is in the back of the cemetery's plot, up in the hill. Many graves are surrounded by heavy weed. Make sure you take gloves and a garden scissor with you, as well as a sun protector. July is quite warm in eastern Slovakia.

3. The Presov Jewish cemetery is rather small, maybe 500 graves, and very orderly arranged and cleaned, so in a few hours you can walk around all graves. Make sure you look the monument of the Jewish soldiers who died in WW1. It may contain names of your interest.

Bon voyage
Tom

Moderator: Please contact Tom off-list if you want addresses and phone numbers for Mr. Jur and Mr. Landa.

Amos,

about the Jewish families of his home area north of Koeln. Having
corresponded with him for several years, I knew a little bit about him. I
was unable to finally meet him on a European trip in 2005 because of
scheduling problems. - Now I finally have a little more information and his
picture, taken two days before his 61st birthday during a presentation
of the "Rheinlandtaler" in Bergheim, where he once resided. The following

the end there is a link to photos taken at the event. It is all in German,

Revue # 87 #france

Ernest Kallmann
 

Just off the press :Revue du Cercle de Genealogie Juive

Issue 87, July-September 2006

Our Society’s life

Françoise Lyon-Caen and Georges Graner summarize the presentations by
some of our members of their latest research results during the monthly
meeting on September 11, 2006.

Families

Bernard Lyon-Caen publishes a well-documented article about the
ancestors of Marc Bloch (1866 -1944), a famous historian who taught at
College de France and who founded with his friend Lucien Febvre the
Revue des Annales d’histoire economique et sociale that stressed “the
importance of economic and social phenomena in the historic development
of human societies”. Bloch, in "Societe Feodale", published 1939, upturned
the traditional vision of the Middle Ages.

As soon as July 1940, obsessed by the causes and the course of the two
World Wars in which he had participated, he writes L’etrange defaite,
the strange defeat. The Germans arrest him in Lyon on March 8, 1944 and
torture him, before killing him at the age of 57 on July 16, 1944.

The author describes Marc Bloch’s Alsatian genealogy, over 8 generations
for his paternal line, the Bloch and Aron, and over 9 generations for
his maternal line, the Ebstein and Grombach.

Pascal FAUSTINI presents the genealogy of Lion Asher, chief-rabbi in
Metz (1766-1785), one of the outstanding Talmudists of his times,
according to Jewish Encyclopedia. He uses a yet unknown document he has
unearthed at the Moselle Archives Departementales: Lion Asher’s probate
inventory. He thus helps us discover Lion Asher’s ancestors, mostly
rabbis of German origin settled in Eastern Europe, belonging to the
families Katzenellenbogen, Wahl and Ulmo-Gunzburg. Among his
descendants, Pascal Faustini discovers … Marc Bloch.

Jean-François RENAUD shows great admiration, which we share, for his
uncle Georges Jessula, one of our former members, unfortunately passed
away in 2004. Renaud writes a sort of log-book of the Jessula family’s
crossings >from Corfu to Marseilles, to the Far-East, >from Italy to Corfu
etc. Pictures and family-trees illustrate this sentimental journey.

Miscellaneous

Our webmaster Georges GRANER shares his discovery of a new
Italian-Jewish genealogy website. “Some surnames declared in the
Palatinate in 1808 by Jews of Alsatian origin”, published by Bernhard
Kukatzki in “Pfaelzisch-Rheinische Familienkunde” is reproduced by
permission. Bernard LYON-CAEN reports about a family meeting of the
Goudchaux organized in April 2006 by Jacky Martin-Godchaux in Luxembourg.

My family heritage is German Jewish, but we have an oral tradition of
Sephardic descent on both my father's and mother's side. I have been able to
trace one ancestral line back to Barcelona and Gerona, and that is my
BENVENISTE line. I wonder if there is any information on four other lines of
possible Sephardic origin that I am also trying to trace.


SPANIER
My ancestors >from this line, beginning with Moses SPANIER, came from
Stadthagen, Germany and settled in Hamburg in the 17th century. I don't know
where they came >from before they settled in Stadthagen.

WOLFF
I can trace this line to Reckendorf, Bavaria, before they settled in Hamburg
in the 19th century. The original Sephardic surname was LUPO or LUPE.

LONDON
We have an oral tradition that these ancestors originally >from Spain,
traveled through Scotland and London before settling in Breslau, Silesia
(which was once in Prussia, and is now called Wroclaw, Poland).

HAHN
This Cohen family supposedly of Sephardic origin, settled in the Franconia
area of Northern Bavaria.

Benveniste antecedant info:

My own family line is paper trail traceable >from 1588 onward, with periodic
interruption. Prior knowledge before 1588 relies on conjecture. However,
Beneviste antecedents married into family. Beneviste family history
parallel with my family's post Iberia demographics, e.g., Holland, Germany,
(Hamburg). Eventually into Galicia, >from where immediate paternal
forebearers immigrated to US. In your vicinity if you care to discuss this
further. Doesn't JesishGen do wonderful stuff?

My family heritage is German Jewish, but we have an oral tradition of
Sephardic descent on both my father's and mother's side. I have been able to
trace one ancestral line back to Barcelona and Gerona, and that is my
BENVENISTE line. I wonder if there is any information on four other lines of
possible Sephardic origin that I am also trying to trace.

Fate of Smuelis and Nechama Zulty #lithuania

franck
 

Hello,

Smuelis Zulty and Nechama Zulty were prisoners in The Vilnius Ghetto in May
1942.

Nechama Zulty was born in 1929, he was a tailor. Smuelis Zulty was born in
1915, he was a baker.

I don't know if Nechama and Smuelis escaped The Vilnius Ghetto.

I would know their family because I think they were related to my family.
Too I would like to know their fate.

I would also like to know where Smuelis Zulty came from? Where did he
live before he was prisoner in the Vilnius Ghetto, in May 1942?

Best regards,

Franck d'Almeida-Zolty (Zulty).
