Many roads are leading to Rom, you can use

Michele Sankar's method, by using search engines that required accents.
from the Hungarian pages you can pick the wanted letter & accent,
mark it and copy and paste it into the text / search box etc..

or >from Milton Hubsher by taking the Hungarian Alphabet and marking and picking the desired character >from there.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hungarian_alphabet

The different Window programm offer an other way with the whole character set, including Greck, Hebrew etc. characters too. In the US Windows take

Start > Programs > System Tools > Character Map

in the German version it is similar procedure

Start > Programme > Systemprogramme > Zeichentabelle

here you can choose any desired character copy/paste it in your text or look the way with ALT Key and which nummeric key give you the desired result. You can minimize the Map and you can even copy it on the display for future use. You can even write a short text with each of the specific character with your favorite wordprocessor save it and you can use it any time when you need a Hungarian character.

Newfield from Magyar #hungary

LJTRS@...
 

Hello,

I joined this group today because my husband's great grandparents, who I
always thought came >from Germany, in fact listed Magyar as their hometown on an
early census. I just discovered that and was told by the German sig people
to join the Hungarian group instead. I am searching for the family of Adolf
NEWFIED (NEUFIELD/NEUFELD) and also NETTIE STEINER (STONE). They were married
and came to Danbury, Connecticut around 1885. Adolf's naturalization lists
Austria as his country nationality. They came to America with their children,
Max, Edward, Coleman, Charlotte and Albert. They all list different places
as their places of origin. I have seen Czechoslovakia, Germany, Austria and
Magyar all listed. I supposed the borders were always changing so I think
they were as confused as I am.

Nettie had a relative, possibly her brother, William STONE ( I believe he
Anglicized his name >from STEINER to STONE) and he listed Magyar as his
hometown so I believe that is the true place of where they came from.

Can anyone shed light on my problem of where to search for their real
origins?
Thanks so much.

Thanks to all the people who replied to my previous message. It seems that
there is no connection between the dynastic families ROSENBAUM and our
Rosenbaums but I'll keep searching.

Re: Family surnames #general

David Phillips <ganeff@...>
 

Stan Goodman opined on the British Royal family:

For those too young to remember, the change was >from the teutonic
"Battenberg" to the veddy British "Mountbatten". There is a perhaps
apocryphal story that, after the change, some Ginzburgs applied to
change their name to "Mountginz". That is the connection with Jewish
genealogy.
Stan Goodman could not be more wrong. The British Royal family of
Saxe-Coburg-Gotha under King George V changed their family name to Windsor
in 1917. This surname remains with the current queen who is married to
Prince Philip Mountbatten. Prince Charles will be lthe last of this line as
George VII and his son, Prince William will be the first king with the
surname Mountbatten.

Prince Philip's family name was Battenberg, changed to Mountbatten, but his
family ruled elsewhere in Europe (Bulgaria). and had no direct connection to
the current queen until 1947. Mr Ginzburg was well ahead of his time.

Re: On British Census Reports #general

Bubby <yeruchem18@...>
 

Steve,

I think you are trying to say that if Caroline Holrie in an institution as a
deaf mute, she would appear in the census anyway. I think I would search for
her the same way, though, as someone who was not living in an institution,
though, and her name is not coming up in the later censuses.

Regarding the bounced emails: my apology for that. I meant to write that if
you want to answer privately, please remove all numbers >from my email
address (to avoid spam).

Dear Fraida & other cousins,

In the British census reports, I've found relatives living in prisons and
mental hospitals. All the inmates were listed, and in one case I found
this: The 1901 London Census for Rainhill Asylum Annex in Eccleston: "List
of aIl Persons who Slept or Abode in this Institution on the Night of
Sunday March 31st 1901. Deaf & Dumb; Blind; Lunatic; Imbecile;
Feeble-Minded." I found a possible relative, listed as "housewife,
married, age 48 >from Poland, Lunatic."

PS: Fraida, my emails to your address have bounced

Looking for information on Nachum SHAPIRO #general

Subject: Looking for information on Nachum Shapiro b abt 1860 and the name
of someone who is an expert on Shapiro genealogy.

Ralph Cilevitz who has researched the name SHAPIRO suggested I post to find
the name of a man in Israel who is an expert on the SHAPIRO lineage. He
thought the last name was FRIEDMAN. I am looking for Nachum SHAPIRO who
eventually emigrated to the US. I think he was born about 1860;. He came
with a son named Harry (Girsh?) and a daughter named Sarah (Sora?) who
married a GOODMAN. I have a picture of him if there are any other relatives
out there. His nephew was >from Vandziogala, but I do not know the exact
relationship.

Cabots Court/London #general

Marilyn Feingold <mrl516@...>
 

One of my relatives lived in Cabots Court in London. I do not know the
correct spelling of this area and I am hoping someone will recognize it. I
believe "poor Jewish immigrants" lived there-perhaps as a stop off before
immigrating to America. Any information will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Name Alice #general

Steve Orlen
 

Dear Cousins,

In response to Lore's question, my Aunt Alice's name in Lithuania was
Asne. In Hebrew name, the name is the same. The name is seen in
Genesis 41:45. In Yiddish, the variants are Asnas, Asnat, Asnes,
Osnas, and Osnat. >from what I've read, in America, the people with
that name were called Asenath, Asna, Asnah, Asne, Mae, Alice & Marissa.

Name change PERLA/MEYER #general

Shari Kantrow
 

Hello,
How likely is it for a male named Meier PERLA in Lomza to have converted his
name to Peter MEYER in Germany on route to America?
I have a ship's record Jan 1884 for my g-grandfather Peter MEYER b. abt. 1857
claiming citizenship in Germany. No one else on board claimed citizenship to
Russia either. However, on all other documents found created in the U.S., he
claims citizenship to Russia or Russian Poland.
I found Meier PERLA married to who I believe to be my g-grandmother Guta
Kawkiewicz on JRI-Poland. Most of the other information seems to fit including
approximate birth and marriage dates.
I appreciate all feedback.
Thank you.
