It is hard to get someone else's divorce papers. In NYC there is a
100 hundred years waiting period before you can access the records.

That depends on the genealogical purpose and the information contained
in the divorce record. For example, the divorce record might contain
the exact date and location of marriage, which may not be known
previously. There could be references to children previously unknown.

Depending on the jurisdiction and time there may even be references to
Get (Jewish divorce) proceedings. That happens to be my main focus,
which is why I have been trying to find the divorce record of my
great-grandparents.

Boston, Mass questions #general

Paiste, Marsha S. <Marsha.Paiste@...>
 

Geners-

I am reading Mary Antin's book The Promised Land with interest because she
immigrated to Boston around the same time as my grandmother and was born in
the same year.

At one point Antin mentions that her sister in the garment industry took a
boat >from Chelsea to her place of employment. Can anyone speculate where
that might be?

My grandfather, a tailor at the time, appears in the Boston city directory in
the 1890s as living on Prince St. and following that [at Taunton] appears.
Could he have commuted to Taunton, perhaps by boat, at that time?

Thanks

Prague Cemetery search #general

Dear Genners,

I need to find 2 graves in a Prague Cemetery.
Name: Samuel (a.k.a. Solomon) SANDMAN (N)
Date: May 18, 1903

I know he died in Prague, I don't know in which cemetery he might have
been buried in. And I don't know how to find out.

His wife: Miriam SANDMAN(N) died in April 1903.

I am asking two questions:

1) Can I search online & if so, any URL suggestions are welcomed?
2) Can anyone (privately) recommend a Prague local researcher?

Many thanks

Re: Cemetary errors #general

Interesting article. In listing of discrepancies at Mt. Zion (Maspeth,
Queens, NYC), it didn't include one for my great-uncle, who died as a
child and thus on the stone the name only in Hebrew, didn't include
surname either. Misspelling on cemetary website. btw, for those of you
who haven't contacted them, I've found their staff extremely helpful
both in person and over the phone.

18th c. marriage contract - translation help #germany

lawfrank@...
 

The marriage record of my great-great-great-great grandparents Lippman
ELIAS and Rachel ALEXANDER, >from Hochfelden, Alsace, is contained in
the Fraenkel book of 18th century marriage contracts. I have managed
to acquire scans of the original documents >from the archives in
Strasbourg. Somewhat to my surprise, it turns out that the marriage
document consists of almost four pages of dense Hebrew script (I assume
the language is Yiddish) followed by about a page worth of French. The
Yiddish text obviously says a lot more than is contained in the
paragraph in the Fraenkel book and, interestingly, although the names
match, it does not look like the Fraenkel book's text matches the
French text in the original document either. So now I'm very curious
what the original document actually says. I have posted all five pages
of the document on Viewmate. They are documents 16079-16093. Ideally,
I'd like to get a full translation, but for now I'll take whatever
translation help anyone can offer. (I have higher resolution images
than those posted on Viewmate that I can email if that helps.)
The link to the first document is:

Wiesbaden and HERZ #germany

Michael Appel/Ruth Kraut <appelkraut@...>
 

Hello, I am helping a friend who is doing research on HERZ from
Wiesbaden, Germany. In particular, we would like to find out more about
the life and times of his grandfather, Leopold HERZ, who lived from
about 1830-1900 or so in Wiesbaden. He was married around 1850. Last
address was Banhofstrasse in Weisbaden, Germany. He was also active in
the Wiesbadener Synagogue - the one that the US Army rededicated after
WWII. Please respond privately. Thanks so much,
