PLOTZKER SECTION NY MT ZION CEMETERY...I HAVE GRAVE STONE PICTURES #poland

Joan Parker <joanparker@...>
 

A wonderful friend of mine, Jim Vaughn, went to Mt. Zion to take photos for
me of about five gravestones. While there, this wonderful friend decided to
take many more, so here is the list of the Mt. Zion, NY Plotzer Society
picutres I have. I will be happy to EMAIL it to you. Although he thought
he got them all, it is not the case, unfortunately. Of the 165 listed in
the Mt Zion database, I marked the ones I had with *** in order to set them
apart and put in this list.

He also included a picture of the Plotzker Gate erected in 1906 with ALL the
leadership names inscribed.

The list of 165 names is too long to send, but if you want I will email it
to you as an attachment. For now, this is the list of pictures I have.

PACHTER Family from Siemiatycze #poland

tina levine
 

Hello,

I would appreciate any assistance with the following
two matters.

1)I am searching for family in England with the
surname PACHTER, originally >from Siemiatycze located
in the Grodno Gobernia.

My great-grandfather, David Pachter, immigrated to the
US >from Siemiatycze in 1907. He first stopped in
London living at 14 Boreham St. and then departed from
Liverpool.He entered the US via Philadelphia. On his
ship manifest there is written the name "Suletu
Pachter" next to Friend's Name. (Can someone please
clarify what information this part of the document was
asking for?)

During WWII one of my uncles, while in the army
stationed in Europe, visited with cousins having the
same surname.

I am trying to locate my relatives in England.

2) I am looking for the descendents of my great aunt
SARAH PEARL (nee PACHTER). She immigrated to NYC from
Siemiatycze in 1909. She married and had 3 children -
Morris, Laura and Melvin. She died in 1928 at the age
of 33. The children were placed in an orphanage and
later moved to Detroit, Michigan, USA. Laura became a
nurse and Morris and Melvin were in the pharmaceutical
business.

I am searching for the children and/or grandchildren
of Morris, Laura and Melvin PEARL. Any information
would be most appreciated.

Hi Elayne

In answer to your question. There are electoral registers for this period

Dear Cousins,

First, is it possible to get a NYC death certificate for someone who
died in 1944, without proving you're related? Second, is there anyone
among you willing to get one for me? I have the date & the
certificate number, and I'd be happy to pay for expenses.

Please respond privately to sorlen@email.arizona.edu

These individuals with various surnames match my haplogroup and are
exact matches at twelve markers (or one off). Extended testing proves
that they share a rare haplogroup. Note that this also aids in the
understanding of Jewish migration through Europe.

Michael means of course that Emanuel is not used as a Biblical Hebrew name.

I can assure this list, however, that Emanuel **is** used as a Hebrew
name. It became popular in Poland in the 19th century after the Rebbe of
Przedborz, R' Emanuel WELTFRAJD.

It was often pronounced (in keeping with Polish-Jewish tradition) Amniel,
or Emniel, and you can find this form (as well as Emanuel) in the
JRI-Poland indices.
For British Jews the most famous Jewish person of that name in recent times
is the late Chief Rabbi, (Lord) Immanuel Jakobovits. There are numerous results
of a search "Rabbi Immanuel" on the Internet - either surname or first name.
Having said that there is also an Immanuel and St Andrew Church near where I
live in South London.

But then David is a Jewish name - and is also the Patron Saint of Wales.

BERINSTEIN from Chicago #general

Stephen Falk <sfalk81162@...>
 

If anyone knows the family of the sisters Shirley BERINSTEIN (b. 1915 in
Chicago) and Lorraine BERINSTEIN (b. 1918 in Chicago, I would be
grateful to reach them or their descendants. BERINSTEIN would have
been their maiden name; I do not know their married names - if they married.

They were the daughters of Jules C. (Julius) BERINSTEIN (b.1880,
Chicago). Jules was a son of Charles BERINSTEIN and Rachel geb. FRANK.
Rachel was born about 1857 in Prussia (probably Posen Prov.) and
emigrated to the US with her parents in about 1860. Rachel's mother was
Flora FRANK, geb. BACH (probably).

I believe that Flora FRANK was a sister of my great great great
grandfather R. Moses Aron BACH (1809, Hohensalza-1879, Breslau).

I would very much like to find the families of Shirley or Lorraine to
see if they have information about their early family history in order
to learn whether this family is the one I am looking for.
