Re: Pooling Resources to Hire a Researcher

Dear Ukraine SIG members,

In my previous message I may have underestimated the
size of an Uyezd.

Since I do not have a detailed map of the Volosts (the
next smallest unit of area in the Russian Empire) that
interest me (nor do I know where to obtain one) by
popular request here are the names of some of the
shtetels that interest me:

In Berdichev Uyezd:

Makhnovka
Samgorodok
Priluka (Novaya/Staraya)
Spichintsy
Pogrebishche
Dzyunkov
Vakhnovka

In Skvira Uyezd:

Skvira
Borshchagovka
Novofastov
Verkhnovnya
Popilnya
Pavoloch

In Tarashcha Uyezd:

Zhashkov
Tetiev
Pyatigory
Zhivotov

In Uman Uyezd:

Pogorila
Libashivka

In Gaisin Uyezd:

Ternovka
Teplik
Ivangorod

In Ananiev Uyezd:

Marinovka
Belyayevo

In Odessa Uyezd:

Odessa
Kurisova Pokrovsk (Petrivka)


As before, please reply privately. Thank you.

Named for more than one person #general

Barbara Zimmer <bravo.zulu@...>
 

My cousin was named for both of her grandmothers, both of whom were
Anna. But instead of namiing her Anna (since one of her grandmothers
was still living), her parents named her Diane (Di indicating two).

I'd like to join all the others in thanking Dave Fox for his extraordinary
work. Having begun my own research in the days of letter-writing and tedious
fact-checking, I can appreciate how quickly and comprehensibly genealogical
information is now available via electronic sources. So much of the credit
for this access can be attributed to Dave Fox's relentless and dedicated
work, important both personally and historically. On a daily basis, it
amazes me how many people are still trying to reach out and locate their
relatives, share facts, and offer support. It has truly been a family tree,
spreading its roots wide and far. So thanks again Dave for all your efforts
and the best of luck in your personal endeavors.

Driving route from Vienna to southern Moravia #austria-czech

Michael Gordy
 

I'm looking for advice on the best driving route >from Vienna to Straznice,
near Hodonin in southern Moravia. Last time I did it, I took B7 north >from
Vienna to the border crossing near Mikulov. That route is a bit slow, and
I'm wondering whether it makes more sense to drive east >from Vienna into
Slovakia and take the D2 highway north to the border crossing near Breclav.

To be more precise with my question:
(a) If I go through Slovakia, where should I cross the Austria-Slovakia border?
(b) When I cross into Slovakia, will I need to buy currency? Will I need a
highway sticker?
(c) Not all border crossings are open to third-country citizens. I found this
out the hard way at a crossing near Hodonin, where I was sent back. Any
warnings in this respect?
I'm a US citizen.

By the way, I'll be spending two full days in Straznice, probably with a
half-day in Hodonin. Can I be of service?

Old professions in Vienna #austria-czech

Florence & Henry Wellisch <kelwel@...>
 

As I mentioned in another message, while Bob Hanscom and I are collecting
the Viennese birth and marriage records 1784 - 1848 we found various archaic
expressions. Here are a few with a French origin;
Admodiateur = Tenant, leaseholder
Traiteur = Caterer, Restaurateur (a French word in itself)

I grew up in Vienna and remember many French words in everyday use, such as:
Plafond = Ceiling
Trottoir = Sidewalk
Parapluie = Umbrella
Friseur = Barber, hairdresser
Rentier = Pensioner
Bankier = Banker
Magazineur = Stock keeper
Kabinett = Small room
Boudoir = Ladies private room
Rendezvous = Meeting
Renommee = Reputation ........... and many others
Some of these words can not be found in German dictionaries, since these
were produced in Germany, also once known in Vienna as the "Altreich" or
Deutschland and whose inhabitants were sometimes referred to as "Die
Saupreussen".

Address books in Vienna - two sources? #austria-czech

Thomas F. Weiss
 

Hi fellow Jgenners,

I am planning a family history research trip to Vienna and
would like to consult address and telephone books. Address books
(Lehmann's Wiener Wohnungsanzeiger) are apparently available >from
1859 to 1965. Telephone books are available since 1900. In
examining sites over the Internet, it appears that there are at least
two where these books can be accessed. One is at the Austrian
National Library located in the Heldenplatz. The other is at the
Wiener Stadt- und Landesbibliothek., Magistratabteilung 9, in the
Rathaus.

Do these two sites have identical information? What are the relative
advantages and disadvantages of using each of these two sites?

I would appreciate your help. Please respond to me privately at

Re: Eastern LI Mental Institution - Thank you #general

I want to thank all of you who replied to my inquiry about finding a

Surname - YUDLEVITZ in California #general

Barbara Zimmer <bravo.zulu@...>
 

One of the problems of searching by surnames is that they could be
spelled in so many ways and then transcribed (or misread) in many
other ways,.
For example, a search for YUD** in the 1920 census for California
yields the followiing:
Herman YUDBNITZ b 1855 in Poland
Geroge YUDLEWITZ b 1871 in Russia
Belle YUDLOWITZ b 1896 in Russia.

Try writing YUDLEVITZ in script form and you will see that it may
well be transcribed as YUD -B (for the L and E) -N (for the V or W) -
ITZ.

Searching the California Death index also yields many possible
matches and often provides the mother's maiden name (if it was given.)

Other names of related family members include Etta GORE (the name FORER is also
listed as her mother's maiden name). She was born in 1898 and died in Los Angeles
in 1985. Also Edith YUDLEVITZ, born 1900 or 1901, died in San Bernardino in 1970.
Irving (Isidore) YUDLEVITZ born 1905, died in Los Angeles in 1987. Also Sophia
born 1902.

The custom of naming children after a departed (in Ashkenazi tradition) or
live (Sfaradi) forebear is only that, a custom or social habit. It has no
foundation in either written or oral law. Whether the parents of a child had
in mind a maternal grandparent, a paternal great-grandparent, a prestigious
personage, a Biblical character, or all of the above simultaneously, is a
question that can be answered only by interrogating the parents, and
perhaps not even thus.
