EIDB shows two questionable locations which I do not find on my
map,namely :
Gitni and Udomon .All surnames are NUTKIS.
The first location is for 3 relatives who arrived in 1911 (date or ship
not shown) and the 2nd is for my paternal Grand father who came in 1922.

The same source shows 2 uncles and 1 aunt(by marriage) entering in 1923
from Warsaw,but I know they only stopped there for a wedding,enroute >from
Podolye Gubernya in the Ukraine.
There were 3 other family members(>from GITNI)who came in 1911 .

How can I the ship(s) names and dates for the above ? Abe Nutkis

Good Evening Group, My husband was born in 1942 and the apartment house he
lived in and apartment house his grandmother lived in opened onto Cornish
Avenue in New York City. We are trying to obtain the name of elementary
school which would have been in this area.

School would have been in walking distance - no public means of
transportation were taken.

Dear Jewishgen,
My name is Chaim Leib Hyamson I am originally >from Manchester,
where my family settled upon emigration to the UK. I am looking for
my great grandfathers family who were last living in Riga (Russia) in
1939.
My great grandfather was one of 11 brothers >from a family called
KLEINGESUNDT (or some variant spelling thereof) pronounced "Kline-
Gesundt." (KLINEGESUNDT, KLYNEGESUNDT, KLIENGESUNDT, KLINEGEZUNT,
KLEINGEZUNT Or GEZUNDT / GESZUNT / GESZUNDT / GISUNDT / GIZUNDT ETC)
The spelling in English does not need to be the same, as the spelling for
our family is unique >from being in England.

My great-grandfather Chaim Shnuer Zalman KLYNE (Simon) had his name
changed upon entrance to England. I am not sure if this was his
choice or the whim of the emigration officials or perhaps something
necessary to leave Riga and gain entrance to the UK.

My grandfather was a Chossid of the Previous Lubavitcher Rebbe,
Rabbi Yosef Yitzchok Schneersohn. He last visited the Rebbe in
1930 while he was in Riga. The Rebbe instructed him then to return to
Manchester with Rabbi Dubov, who later became the Rav of the
Lubavitcher community in Manchester and a mashgiach of the
Manchester Yeshiva. There is a whole story of how the Rebbe was saved by
taking Rabbi Dubovs job as Rov of Riga. This however, left the Rov
without a job, so the Rebbe told him to go to Manchester.
He and my greatgrandfather (obm) returned to England. My ggfather had
started a shul in Manchester, and the Rabbi Dubov became the Rov for the
Lubavitcher killah there.

I am looking for information about the other 11 brothers left
behind in Riga, perhaps they or their children somehow managed to escape
the Germans (yimach shemam) and make it to Russia, Samarkand, the USA,
Israel or elsewhere.

Thanking you in advance,
Chaim Leib Hymanson

Dear all,

Many thanks for your responses regarding Fuchs, Luk-Zilberman and Khalifman
families.
I'd like to share some information about Fuchs family. There are two
brothers on my research list, they are don Fuchs who was born in Ukraine
in Mogilev-Podolsk region settlement in 1871 and Itskhak Fuchs who was
killed in July,1941 in jewish settlement Ozarentsy. don Fuchs moved to
Odessa, then to Chernovtsi and then immigrated to Vienna.He was a cantor
in Vienna. Later on, in 1921 he immigrated to USA.
Itskhak Fuchs is ggf of my wife.

Sincerly yours,

Sergey SHCHERBAKOV.
Does Louis = Leiser = Wolf? #general

Mary D. Taffet <mdtaffet@...>
 

Hello all,

I am researching my husband's ancestors who are all Jewish, most from
the area that is today in the Ukraine, but some of them appear to have
come >from the area that is today in Poland.

I had long wanted to get started on his family, but it didn't happen
until I ordered copies of the Social Security applications for his
grandparents, which gave me the names of the prior generation (well,
mostly anyhow...).

I have had some success on his HOMLEVSKY line. I found them in the 1920
census, then got the naturalization petition for Morris HOMLEVSKY and
also found the family on the passenger manifest at the Ellis Island
website (though it took some real sleuthing -- they were indexed as
NOMCHEWSKY and had their Yiddish names instead of their Anglicized names
that were found in the census). They were >from the Poltava area of
Ukraine, possibly in Piryatin.

Right now I am working on another set of great-grandparents. In the
1910 census they show up as Louis RUBIN (father), Jennie RUBIN (mother,
and children William, Susie (Sonya), Ida and Anne/Annie. Daughter
Tillie must have married and/or been on her own at the time as she is
not listed with them. I have the naturalization petitions for Louis
RUBIN and his son William RUBIN. Louis RUBIN, who was born in
Elisabethgrad, Russia (now Kirovograd, Ukraine), is shown with wife
Jennie (Bess) born in Jaser (or Jasev?) Colony in Russia, daughter
Thielie, son William, daughter Susie, daughter Ida and daughter Annie.
It says that he came >from Liverpool via the ship "Lake Ontario" to the
port of Quebec, and thence by train to NYC. William also came to NYC
from Canada, but over a full year later, and had spent time in
Montreal. The address shown on the declaration of intent and the 1910
census is the same. OK so far.

Just yesterday, I managed to find a record that fits the criteria on the
soundex index to the St. Alban's border crossings, except for the name.
I found a Leiser RUBIN who had come >from Liverpool on the Lake Ontario
to the port of Quebec, and was then going to NYC. The date on the
border crossing is the same date given in the naturalization petition,
and the occupation and age were right. I'm thinking that Leiser is
probably the Yiddish name for a person who later became known as Louis
(border crossing was in 1900, and the next record I have is the 1910
census where he is Louis RUBIN). Still OK.

Then today, I received a copy of the "Certificate and Record of
Marriage" of my husband's grandparents, Isidore/Irving SIEGEL and Ida
RUBIN. In that marriage certificate, her father's name is listed as
"Wolf".

Thus my question. I'm assuming that Leiser = Louis, but how does Wolf
fit into the picture? Was that a translation for one of those names, or
was it perhaps an additional name that he might have been known by?

In her social security application, Ida Rubin Siegel wrote that her
father's name was Louis RUBIN and that her mother's name was Jane
GOLDBLATT. On her marriage certificate, it shows Wolf as her father's
name and Jennie GREENBLATT as her mother's name. [A case of confusion
in her old age, where one color starting with 'G' might have been
substituted for another??????....perhaps she said GOLDBLATT when she
meant GREENBLATT?????].

Her father shows up for sure as Louis RUBIN in the 1910 census, in the
naturalization records (dated 1910, 1912 & 1913), and in the 1920
census. Yet she shows him as Wolf in her 1913 marriage certificate.
I'm just curious why.... Can anybody help me understand?

ROSENBLATTS, STERNBERGS & RUNKELS #usa

Georgia Haken <gwhaken@...>
 

I have been researching the family of Louis ROSENBLATT. Louis was born in
Hesse-Cassel about 1826 to Hertz and Yetta Rosenblatt. He emigrated with his future
brother-in-law , Jacob STERNBERG, on the brig Roland >from Bremen in July 1845.
Louis and Bertha STERNBERG had 10 children all listed as being born in Ohio. I
recently found that he had spent several years in Cincinnati before he moved to
Cleveland. I found the two families, Louis and Bertha and Jacob and his wife Bina
living together on Providence Street in the 1860 Cincinnati Census. I also found
that his oldest daughter, Etta born in 1862 in Cincinnati, married a Morris RUNKEL
in 1880 in Cleveland. Morris was born in Canada and came >from a large Cincinnati
family. Morris and Etta can be found in the 1880 Chicago Census and the 1900 NYC
Census. Louis' wife Bertha died in 1876 and Jacob's wife died in 1878. Louis married
Hannah HEPPENHEIMER in 1876 in NYC. In the 1880 Cleveland Census Louis can be found
living at 86 Laurel Street with Hannah, 7 children >from his first marriage and 2
from Hannah and also Jacob STERNBERG and his son William. Three of the other
STERNBERG children can be found in the Census in the Jewish Orphanage. Louis moved
to NYC in the early 1880's and 12 of his 14 children are living near him in the
early 1900's. He died in 1924 and his obit called him the "Grand old man of
Yorkville." It would be great if I could connect with someone researching the
STERNERGS or RUNKELS( I have checked JFF).

Levi [b. 1834] married Theresa WILE, daughter of Abram WILE, and they had 8

ROSKAM - ADLER in VA #usa

M. Faber <mfaber@...>
 

I am looking for information on my ROSKAM family & have found a new piece
that I need help with. Here is what I know...

Bernhard (b. 1820-1891) & Henrietta ROSKAM (b. 1822-1891) had 4 - 6
children in the U.S.
Pauline ROSKAM (b. 1846 NJ)
David ROSKAM (b. 1848 NJ)
Martin ROSKAM (b. 1851 NY)
Bettie ROSKAM (b. 1847 NY)
Joseph ROSKAM (b. 1857 NY)
and Phil ROSKAM (b. 1861 VA)

In 1860 Joseph ROSKAM (b. 1818) was also living with them - Martin & Joseph
could be his children.

Pauline married Abraham ADLER of Baltimore, MD in 5/22/1866 in Norfolk, VA.
I have searched on another genealogy site and found Abe ADLER & Mrs. A.
ADLER working in 1888-1890 in Norfolk on Main St., >from the city directory
listings.

Phil ROSKAM is my Great Grandfather and his history is well documented as he
was a city official but I have found nothing on any of the other siblings.
Pauline has been my only break. I have to send for her marriage license (if
available) and see what became of her and Abe.

Does anyone have any suggestions on where to find info on the remainder of
the family or willing to look up Pauline & Abraham in a city directory so I
can verify it's them? Any ideas or help will be greatly appreciated.
Re: Name "equivalents" #general

HenandDen@...
 

To Haviva Langenaur and others. It is not really
necessary for names to have an English translation.
i.e. when one one was called Velvel for instance wherever they lived
in the old country, that was the name, I think it safe to assume
that they no thoughts of leaving their home country, so let us
presume that they were called after someone who had passed away
who was also called Velvel so ends that,[except for sephardim
there the custom is to give the name of a living person i.e.
a son after his father]
it is common practice to find a letter or two in Hebrew
to give a child its Hebrew name, in fact the English
name doesnt count [except if the English name and the
Hebrew name are the same as the deceaseds name]
So all in all its the Hebrew name that is important.
For instance my son is Andrew his Hebrew name is
Dov Baer this uses some of the letters in Devora which is
my Grandmothers name. Now how about my Israeli Grandchildren
Niv, Dana, and Adi there is no need for an English they have
their name they are Israeli and that is that, of course
their names mean something but only in Hebrew and nothing
to do with translation.
Maybe it is in America that you have a problem ,not us in
the U.K.
Happy hunting and changeing
