Descendants of Simon and Molly GREENBERG of Brooklyn #general

Linda Epstein
 

Hi Genners,
I am trying to locate descendants of Simon and Molly GREENBERG of Brooklyn, New
York. Simon and Molly were born about 1860/62 in Russia. Their sons, all born in
New York City, were Max (b. 1884), Moses (b. 1887), Abraham (b. 1894), William (b.
1890) and Israel (b.1898). Max and Moses were in the printing business. Some (all?)
of the sons lived in Brooklyn. If you have this family on your tree, please contact
me privately.
Thanks,
Linda Epstein

Yes the names have been indexed. This link takes you to the NARA search engine:

If someone worked for the OSS it should pull up their name and provide file
information for ordering purposes.

Thanks to the Moderator for posting the info and link to TinyURL. When I switched
PCs, I lost my list of FAVs on which I had this great tool.

New book by JewishGen: "Belzec: Stepping Stone to Genocide" #ciechanow #poland

Joyce Field
 

JewishGen is pleased to announce a new book in its Publish on Demand
series and a new easy method of ordering all the books in this series.

The new book is "Belzec: Stepping Stone to Genocide" by Robin O'Neil.
This is an expanded and newly-edited version of the book that is on
JewishGen's Yizkor Book site. The book will be sold for $49.95;
however, for the first 30 days, the book will be sold at an
introductory price of $44.95. The book will be on display at the
JewishGen desk at the IAJGS, but copies can only be ordered online or
by phone. All Publish on Demand books can be ordered at
<http://www.pickmanmuseumshop.com/jewishgen.html> or by phoning
1-646-437-4213.

Belzec was the prototype death camp, the precursor of Sobibor and
Treblinka. Secretly commissioned by the highest authority of the Nazi
state, it acted outside the law of civil and military conventions of
the time. Robin O'Neil takes the reader step by step into the
background of the "Final Solution" and gives eyewitness testimony as
the mass graves were located and recorded.

Remember that the introductory price is available only through September 15.

Does anyone know if there are DNA tests that can confirm that
the same man is the father of the following two living persons:
-His known granddaughter (thru an already deceased daughter)
-His possible daughter (living)
I would like to thank all of you who have answered me.
Unfortunately, I realize now that I did not give you enough
information in my first post about the connections between these
persons. So I hope those of you that have additional suggestions
could let me know if this changes your opinions.

The man in question had no sons, only two daughters (both deceased)
with his wife. One of these daughters gave birth to the
granddaughter (first) mentioned above. The man in question is
suspected of fathering a daughter on another continent together with
another unrelated woman. The result of this union is the daughter
(mentioned second) above.

I hope this clarifies things.

Baluty - Lodz district [Was: Town of Baluti] #lodz #poland

Wayne Morgan <wmorgan@...>
 

On 2008.08.11, I asked asked:

Is there anyone out there who may know something about Baluti?
Hello Everyone:

Many thanks for the informations sent by so many of you. I had sent
this email earlier, but it went to a private email.

Many thanks for your comments on this subject. I now have some idea
of the geographic aspects of Baluty and its relationship to the
Ghetto.

One of my wife's ancestral lines almost certainly came >from the
Baluty area, and it is likely that another ancestral line was also
from there. These family lines moved into the Lodz area in the
latter third of the 19th century, with a number of their descendants
moving to the United States in the first 20 years of the 20th
century.

I would be very interested in learning more about the history of
Baluty prior to 1940, if there are any such resources. I assume that
there are no directories of the Baluty area, say, for the 1890-1920
time frame. I will re-read the Stetllinks write-up on Lodz.
