Dear David,

Longshot (but if all else fails ...): Have you thought of mistyping or
transcribing errors? G & H are close together (if typed) so maybe (for
example) Goffman ... in some old documents handwritten F was taken for S so
it may be worth trying Gossman, Gussman, etc.

Good luck!

Not long ago, at the request of Rabbi Bar Zev, I deciphered and
translated a good number of Jewish tombstones/headstones >from European
cemeteries. I submitted all my work which Rabbi Bar Zev then submitted to
the coordinator of the project for which this work had initially been requested.

Rabbi Bar Zev recalls that the project, for which this work was
requested, was originally presented "at a RavSig meeting at one of the IAJGS
conventions. I am now trying to ascertain where this work "lies" and if
it has been, is being or will be utilized as part of a project or publication.
Can any one be of assistance in this regard?

Sincerely,

Rabbi Daniel Siegel

All -

I've been researching this for some time, but I feel that I've exhausted
my resources and I'm prepared to throw myself on the mercy of all you
experts.

I'm trying to find immigration records for my grandfather's oldest
sibling and her immediate family.

Some background:

Family legend tells us that she and her husband were on their way to
America >from Viski (or Vishki) near Dvinsk (now Daugavpils) in the
Gubernia of Vitebsk (today this is in Latvia) and made it to Liverpool
when they discovered that she was pregnant. They decided that she
should go back home and have the baby and her husband would go on to
America and set up a home there and send for her later.

So her husband, Jacob KAPLAN, came to the US in (we believe) 1903. We
believe that she and her son came to America in 1905 or 1906. Her
Yiddish name was Sora-Tzipa (birth last name "DUMESH"), who became Sarah
in America. We aren't sure of her son's name. We aren't even sure
what his original name was in America. We are told that when he
survived a terrible illness as a young child, he was given the name
Chaim/Hyman in honor of his grandfather, who had since died in Viski.
So we have no idea what name he was traveling under.

Jacob KAPLAN was born approximately 1881 as was Sarah. Their son was
probably born in 1904.

Another clue that may or may not help is that when Jacob Kaplan's sister
was traveling to America with Sarah's sister Taube Dumes, she traveled
under the name Stire Kopeleuskaja or something like that! The image is at:
http://www.dumes.net/documents/immigration/taubs_dumes_manifest_page1.gif

Stire is line 7 and Taube is line 8.

One other thing that I can't make out on the document listed above is
the "last permanent residence". Taube gave the town was "Wisky" but the
country looks like it starts with a "K". Stire's starts with the same
word, but has a different town. It looks like it might be "Kowno", but
I'm at a loss to understand that completely. It is possible, I suppose,
that Jacob and his sister originally came >from Kowno/Kaunas and that
Taube had gone to stay with Stire until they were ready to travel. But
Kwono was a city, not a country, correct? Or was it also a region,
akin to a Gubernia?

Another possible help is that Stire lists her "nearest relative or
friend" as S. Kopeleuskaja in the same place that Stire lists as her
last residence.

By the way, it's unclear what name Jacob and Sarah were traveling under.
I don't know when he started using the name Kaplan. I'm told that
"aya" at the end of the name traditionally indicated a matronymic, and
it might have originally, but it might have become a family name by this
time. However, he was certainly using Kaplan by the time Stire and
Taube arrived, because though she lists her name as Kopeleuskaja, she
says she is going to see her brother Jacob Kaplan.

I don't know for certain, but I'm guessing that they arrived in the port
of New York because they lived there up until around 1910.

It's possible that Sarah might have listed her mother as "nearest
relative or friend in country >from whence alien came", as did her
sisters. Her mother's name was Sheina-Freida. And of course, Viski
was sometimes spelled Wisky, Whiskis, and all sorts of other ways.

I hope this is enough information to help!

Many thanks in advance.

I am transcribing a list of people >from Ichenhausen,

material has the reference VM9074.

Any assistance with this will be gratefully received!

Dear Galitzianers:

On Sunday, December 3, JRI-Poland announced a new Area Shtetl CO-OP
project to index microfilms at the LDS Family History Library covering
Jewish records filmed at the Central State Historical Archives of
Ukraine branch in Lviv. In this announcement, I was named Shtetl CO-OP
Area Coordinator for the East Galicia area.

Since this announcement, many Galician researchers have contacted me
with great interest in this new and exciting project. Many researchers
have also pointed out mistakes in the original posting and asked for
clarification. This posting is meant to provide some new information for
interested researchers.

LDS Indexing Project
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We have learned that any project to index the records in the microfilms
of the holdings of the Central State Historical Archives of Ukraine in
Lviv requires the advance permission of the Archives. JRI-Poland will
request permission, but there is no guarantee.

The Microfilms
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The initial announcement mentioned 108 microfilms. This was an error.
There are 33 microfilms for this collection. The microfilm numbers are
2405309-328, 2405330-332, 2405335-344. Title of the collection is
"Metrical books, 1820-1939." (The collection actually covers records

from 1791 through 1942.) Author is "Jewish Congregation. L'viv (Main

Author)." Description: "This is a preliminary description provided to
allow immediate microfilm access. Jewish records (births, marriages,
deaths) for congregations in Galizien, Austria; later in Poland; now in
L'viv, Ternopil' and Ivano-Frankivs'k districts, Ukraine. Most film
notes cover inclusive dates and events may be missing for some years. An
archival register is found on film with GS# 2405309, item 18. Text in
Latin with some German, Polish or Ukrainian."

These are the Jewish civil records recorded by the local Kehilla -
Jewish Community. Based on my experience with these Galician records,
the forms for the period 1791-1876 have headings in Latin, Polish and/or
German, but are recorded in Polish or German. >from 1877 through WWI, the
headings were in both German and Polish and were recorded in German or
Polish. >from the end of WWI until WWII, the headings were most likely in
Polish and were recorded in Polish. Since this part of Poland was
occupied by Russia >from 1939 to 1941, those records may be in Russian.

Corrections
~~~~~~~~
The original list included Tulchin. This was a mistake. Included in this
collection are 1792-1876 deaths for Tyczyn, a town in the Rzeszow
district in Poland.

The list also included Rzeszow, Poland (1841-1866 births). These records
have already been indexed by JRI-Poland and are included in our online
searchable database.

The list also included Chervonograd (Krystynopol), Kamenka Bugskaya, and
Kolomyya. Although Miriam Weiner's Routes to Roots Foundation Archival
Inventory identifies that the Lviv Archives has 1789-1861 marriages for
Kamenka Bugskaya and 1933 marriages for Chervonograd (Krystynopol),
these books were missing at the time of microfilming and were not
filmed. The inventory of records includes 1865 births for Kolomyya.
These records are also included in the AGAD Archive collection and have
already been indexed.

Notes about the Collection
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The collection of eastern Galician records can be found at both the
Polish State Archive AGAD Branch and the Ukraine State Archive Lviv
Branch. There is very little overlap.

The following Jewish Administrative towns' records can be found **Only**
at the Lviv Archives: Brody, Grimaylov, Kozielniki (1859 B only), Novyy
Vitkov, Ozernyany (Ozerna), Ozeryany, Probezhnaya, Radekhov, Sukhostav,
and Zimna Woda (1854 B only).

The following Jewish Administrative towns' records can be found **Only**
at the AGAD Archives: Bobrka, Bolszowce, Boryslaw, Bursztyn, Chorostkow,
Gologory, Gwozdziec, Janow, Jaryczow Nowy, Jaworow, Komarno, Kopyczynce,
Kozowa, Krakowiec, Obertyn, Rawa Ruska, Rohatyn, Sasow, Skala, Skole,
Sokolowka, Stara Sol, Stratyn, Strzeliska Nowe, Swirz, Szczerzec,
Trembowla, Uhnow, Ulaszkowce, Uscie Biscupie, Zabie (Verkhovina),
Zablotow, Zalozce, Zawalow, Zurawno, and Zydaczow.

The following Jewish Administrative towns' records can be found **Both**
at the Lviv and AGAD Archives (there is very little overlap in the two
collections): Belyy Kamen, Berezhany, Bolekhov, Borshchev, Budanov,
Bukachevtsy, Chortkov, Drogobych, Glinyany, Gorodenka, Gorodok,
Gusyatin, Ivano Frankovsk (Stanislawow), Kosov, Kozlov, Kudrintsy,
Lubycza Krolewska (Poland), Lviv, Melnitsa, Mikulintsy, Mostiska,
Nadvornaya, Narayev, Navariya, Nesterov (Zhovkha), Olesko, Okopy,
Podgaytsy, Podvolochisk, Rozdol, Rudki, Sambor, Skalat, Sokal, Staryy
Sambor, Stryy, Strusov, Tartakov, Ternopol, Wielkie Oczy (Poland),
Velikye Mosty, Verkhneye Krivche, Vinniki, Yagelnitsa, Zbarazh, Zborov,
Znesenye, and Zolochev

JRI-Poland will be providing more information about this collection on
our website. Announcements will be made on this forum.

Hello Gen members:

I am trying to locate any information on my g-g-grand father, Isaac Joseph
PARDO, brother of Michael PARDO, both of whom went to Venezuela in 1841 and
1823, respectively. I don;t have any information on their parents or
siblings, etc. These two brothers were related to Isaac PARDO of Amsterdam
and Curacao, and cousins of Moises PARDO of Curacao, but I don't know the links.

Michael PARDO returned to Hamburg in 1852 and in 1858 started Michael PARDO
& Co. I don't know whether he married or had any children, but his nephew
took over the business, and it was passed on to his children-the last I
heard Karl PARDO was in charge of the company through the War years and into
the 60s. Karl's brother Henry PARDO PARDO (both of their parents were
first cousins on both sides) had gone to Colombia in 1936-then going to
Venezuela.

There is also a possible connection between my g-g-grandfather and Rabbi
David PARDO. One question regarding this David PARDO: is he the same David
PARDO son of Isaac who went to England, and is he the same David PARDO who
was the son of Josiah PARDO and rabbi of Curacao, the same David Pardo,
rabbi of Surinam???? Any information would be appreciated. Thanks,

During my research on the BERMANN family >from Zell ( Mosel) in Germany, I
came across Martin BERMANN born on October 3, 1848 in Zell. He was married

The only thing I have, is his birthcertificate, but no further trace of him.
Who would have more information about this Martin BERMANN?

Hello Gersig,
I just joined the group. I am volunteer transcribing Hungarian Data because
I know Suetterlin. I live in Mannheim, South-West Germany but I was born in
Hamburg. My native language is German and English, but I also know different
other languages.

My primary goals in the GermanSIG is to find out what really happened to my
uncle Walter KUSCHINSKI of whom we had no more sign since 1943 and what happened
to the COHN family >from Maruebwerder Germany.

We are all trying to find out if Rifka GOLDSTEIN might have survived Auschwitz
like her older brother, there are hints she might have. Moreover I try to find
out more about an ISENBERG line. >from my ggmother's families side, the
ancestors once came >from Ansbach- Wuerzburg territories but I have all the
data for the Fisch(el) and Bergfelds (Hecht in Hungary later). As I had amazing
efforts in the Hungarian group and the RAV-SIG, finding close relatives I
will now try to solve some complicated problems.
