Re: Need photo from Mt Zion -- but it's already on JewishGen! #general

Naidia Woolf asked for a photo >from Mt Zion....and added " I'm hoping
to learn the father's name."

Interesting...when the information is already on JewishGen!!

Naidia...go to our burial database...JOWBR and query Michael Winter
in NY...i did and it
told me he is buried in Mt Zion with his spouse Yetta...and his
fathers name is Yakov. There's much more information there too...and
connections to possible other family members buried in the same cemetery...

We have other wonderful databases on our site...just go to www.jewishgen.org

Re: woman taking back maiden name #romania

rlaks2@...
 

I am also wondering about a woman taking back her maiden
name after divorce or the death of her husband. I seem to
have a g.g.g-aunt who lived in Harlau/Hirlau, Romania and
seems to have reverted back to her maiden name after the
death of her husband. Even her daughter went by her mother's
maiden name. (The father died when the daughter was very young).
Was this a common practice?

H. W. Ingberg in Lodz #poland #lodz

Dear members,

I have recently discovered some old letters my mother kept >from her
siblings which were sent to her shortly after WWII. One mentions that
my maternal grandfather, Hirsch Wolf INGBERG had a shop in Lodz at 11
Listopada 3. It claims that he opened this after being deported from
Germany in 1938. This is new information to me and I do not even know
if it is accurate. All prior information indicated that the family went
to Warsaw. However, I have been told that there were relatives in Lodz.

In looking at the Lodz Ghetto database, I find the following:
INGBER, Ita 12/01/1895 F Lodz, Poland (original address) 11 Listopada 7
(ghetto address) Altmarkt 12 Flat 8 13/09/1942 / AUSG Hausfrau
It seems that this Ita INGBER might very well be a relative to my
grandfather Hirsch Wolf Ingberg.

Does anyone have any suggestions on how I might continue my research
on this connection? Is anyone familiar with the family of Ita INGBER?
Is there any source to search for a business opening during this time
period (1938/39) at this address? What is the likelihood that one could
even open a business at that time? Any help will be most appreciated!

You may respond to me privately at: cattheater@...

Hello members!

On the website Polishjews.org, there is a page where you can post
information on people you are looking for. On this page, I find the
following post:
Kersch family Looking for the family KIRSCHENBLATT, KERSCHENBLAT
(probably >from Lodz)
Chaje Kirschenblatt - the daughter was Sara.
Moshek (Morris) Kerschenblat - son of Yudek and Tcerlia.
Khaja Kirschbaum - daughter of Motele and Rulmmiur Ingberg.
Moshek (Morris) Kerschenblat was 24 years old in 1912 when he marries
Khaja Rifka Kirschbaum 20 years old.

I am anxious to contact the individual who made this post, but when I
tried (via the website), I was told that their email is no longer
current. I am researching the INGBERG family line and would like to
discuss Motele and Rulmmiur Ingberg with the person who made this post.

If anyone has information on this family or contact with the submitter,
I would appreciate help making a contact.

Thank you!

I'm responding to the list because this illustrates a technique that
is often useful.

Elizabeth Levy's problems have nothing to do with her location in
Israel. Time restricts access to its online archives to subscribers. A
subscriber could look this up and send it. But then the request would
have to be interpreted as a request for a lookup in a
subscription-only archive, which would be a violation of JewishGen
policy. Elizabeth wisely expressed her request as being addressed to
people with access to actual back issues, which is not a problem;
library research is a dying but still important art.

Fortunately, neither misuse of someone else's subscription nor a trip
to the library is necessary to find this article. The trick is to
search for a distinctive string of words in the portion of the article
that's available. The original article apparently contained the words
"Leviathan Levy", which got mangled by OCR to "Levia than Levy".
Googling "Levia than Levy" leads to the abbreviated Time article but
also to a pro wrestling forum where what appears to be the entire
article was copied:
<http://forums.prowrestling.com/showthread.php?t=3D25978>.

In general, don't give up too easily when you can't find a whole
article. Identifying a distinctive string of words and searching for
it may lead you to alternative sources. The trick is to find a string
of words that wouldn't be likely to occur, or at least not very often,
in other contexts.
