After some searching I found that my Hoffman ancestors were Goichman/Goihmans
from Roumania. I'm not sure if the G and H were interchangable in
emigrating and whether the Hebrew Hey or Cheth (4th letter) were not
translated clearly in some instances but once I found the correct name
I was then able to locate the manifest and Naturalization records.

Alberto Moravia ne PINCHERLE #austria-czech

Celia Male <celiamale@...>
 

We have recently had some discussion on the SIG re the migration of Jews
between Italy and Bohemia/Moravia [both directions].

I was interested to read today that the Italian novelist and writer, Alberto
Moravia was actually called PINCHERLE. His father was Carlo PINCHERLE -
architect and painter. Has anyone read Alberto's autobiography? There were
quite a few PINCHERLE in Italy [see Google]. In Livorno, I noted the name
PINCARLE.

There are four PINCHERLE buried in Vienna:

Zentralfriedhof Gate 1 7-14-73
Pincherle Adolf aged 28 09.09.1880

Zentralfriedhof Gate 1 51-11-31 all buried together
Pincherle Angelo aged 17 buried 22.04.1906; Pincherle Jeanette aged 79 died
07.05.1940; Pincherle Wilhelm Dr. aged 63 buried 13.05.1918

PINCHERLE appear to be centred in the Trieste region [once part of the Habsburg
Empire]. Here is a reference to 56 PINCHERLE in Slovenia [Gorizia] Nova Gorica
{Rozna Dolina} http://www.jewishgen.org/cemetery/e-europe/yugoslavia.html

There are 13 PINCHERLE [some are duplicates but all >from Gorizia] listed on Yad
Vashem - all have POTs with extensive links. We remember them all here today.

I wonder if Alberto knew that his family had Moravian origins?

Celia Male [U.K.]

Footnote: If you are not a subscriber, you can still see Alberto arriving in NY
on Ancestry.com [one mention according to new Jewishgen rules] - however he is
mistranscribed as Alberts Pincherle Mora; Arrival Date: 12 Dec 1935; Estimated
birth year: abt 1907; Ethnicity/Race/Nationality: Italian;Italian (South)
(Italian); Ship Name: Rex; Friend's Name: W Van Buren. Alberto makes another
trip in 1955 by plane. Please also note the arrival in NY of the famous
mathemetician Salvator PINCHERLE [born Trieste] in 1924. His address is given
as Villa PINCHERLE, Modena.

Need help deciphering Russian town and Brooklyn Address from Passenger List #belarus

Sfingold
 

I finally found a passenger list I had been searching
for. My grandmother Rose FEIN arrived in NYC in Nov,
1913. Departure port was Libau. The relevant part of
the passenger list is on Viewmate:

http://data.jewishgen.org/viewmate/ALL/viewmateview.asp?key=9024

Rose's information is on Line 8.

I need help deciphering the following:

1. Sister's first name and Brooklyn address.

2. Birth place town name. Scroll horizontally to the
very end to find the birth town name on the last line.
It looks like "Glechenz." I believe Rose was born
in Belarus. In 1913, her father was living in
Plescenitsy in Belarus.

ShtetlSeeker doesn't have an exact match for Glechenz.
In Belarus, two towns come up: Glushintsy and
Glazomichi. There don't seem to be any better matches
in other parts of the pale of settlement.

Finally, what language/writing style was used in Libau
in 1913? Was it Russian or Latvian or German? On the
passenger list (a different page not in Viewmate),
Rose's name is spelled as "Rasja Zeldja Fein" and I am
wondering what language was being used.

Please reply privately. Thanks for your help!

Re: LEVIN or FRANK Rabbinic Roots? #rabbinic

There is some indication that either family may have been rabbinic.

A search on Kovno AND Frank in the Encyc.Jud., brings up a

Zvi Pesach FRANK, (1873 - 1960), who was Chief Rabbi of Jerusalem
and a halakhic authority. His father, Judah Leib FRANK, was born in
Kovno, Lithuania, and was one of the leaders of the "Haderah"
society in Kovno which founded the village of Haderah in Erez
Israel.

Kovno AND Levin brought up nothing.

Both Frank and Levin are popular Ashkenazi surnames and there are
many famous rabbis for each name.

Dear T. Segal,

Re Edinburgh, please see the Arden Street website for information about some

If you go into Christ Church at the beginning of
Spitalfields there are numerous plaques in the
entrance hall in English and Hebrew in memory of
Jewish converts.
No doubt the parish records would make interesting
reading and im sure the archivist would have a fair
bit of info as this was and is a very well known
church.
