Mt. Hebron cemetery, Queens, on-line info. #general

Hanna Grossman <hannakg@...>
 

I have found grave information on two cousins buried at Mt. Hebron,
thru Find A Grave. I have been unable to find out elsewhere if
these men were ever married and wonder whether it is possible,
on-line, to get more information on adjacent graves using the
section etc. numbers that Find A Grave gives, which might produce
evidence of wives or children.

Re: Help with a Hungarian first name #general

Roger Lustig
 

John:
According to Google Translate, "Farkas" is the Hungarian word for
"wolf." "Wolf" was a kinnui (nickname) for Ze'ev (Hebrew for wolf) and
thus for Benjamin, whom his father compared to a wolf.

"Farkas" is also a common Hungarian surname. Also, Hungarians generally
write their names with the surname first, so Farkas Isaac might be
someone we'd call Isaac Farkas, depending on the source you found.

tell me about the name Farkas? Could it be a nickname for Isaak?

Origin of certain popular Jewish given names in the USA - Seymour, Irving, Jerome #germany

Michael Marx <mhmarx@...>
 

The given names Seymour, Irving, and Jerome became popular among American Jews
even though they were never popular among Americans generally nor do
they appear to have any Jewish associations. Is there an explanation for this?

ENGLAENDER & FRIEDLAENDER families - Berlin #germany

Garden Hill <gardenhill@...>
 

Good morning everyone.

I wrote some months back requesting ideas and advice with my research based
upon the SELIGMANN /ENGLAENDER family of Elberfeld / Barmen, in the North
Rhine-Westphalia region of Germany. The response >from members of the GerSig
group was very positive and enlightening, with many suggestions regarding
locations of relevant material and contacts. I am very grateful for this
help, and I am making some progress, particularly with the SELIGMANN ancestors.

I am hoping that someone may have information about the descendants of IDA
ENGLAENDER, born Elberfeld 1841, married name IDA FRIEDLANDER / FRIEDLAENDER
(the name of her husband is unknown). She died in her apartment, Bamberger Strasse
57, Berlin Schonenberg, 23.05.1912. She shared this apartment with her mother
REGINE (SELIGMANN) ENGLAENDER, died 11.01.1909. Both women were widows.

Ida FRIEDLAeNDER may have had a son named WILFRIED , a dentist
from Charlottenburg, Nettlebeckstrasse 6. She may have had a son-in-law
named JOSEF TUSCHHOFF >from Charlottenburg, Nettlebeckstrasse 26.

I am hoping that someone might know something of this family.

Although the ENGLAENDER family was Jewish, and I believe the FRIEDLAENDER
family also, I was very surprised to note that both Regine ENGLAENDER
and Ida Friedlander were listed as Protestant on their Death registrations.

Best wishes, and again many thanks for such a positive and supportive response,

Research on Przystajn, Poland #general

The town of Przystajn in Poland, 18 km west of Klobuck, does not
appear in the JewishGen Town Finder or in the Gazeteer. A Google
search produced a list of Holocaust victims >from Przystajn through
Yad Vashem. CRARG (Czestochowa Rodomska Area Research Group) has
some records >from Krepice where Przystajn vital records must have
been kept. I am looking for others who have ancestors >from Przystajn,
or researchers working on Przystajn. Surnames of interest are GRYN
(GRIN, GREEN) and WRACLAWSKI.

Thank you.

Looking for information re Rosa Emanuel STERN 1879-1951 and Nathan STERN (1877-1941) #general

RsH <robert.heuman@...>
 

Rosa Emanuel STERN was the mother of my father's older brother, Hermann
HEUMANN's, wife, Hedwig STERN (1913-1982).

I am trying to find out when Rosa went >from Germany to Shanghai, China,
which I suspect was 1938 or 1939, and when she emigrated >from Shanghai
to New York, which I suspect was 1947 or 1948. I would also like to know
the name of the ship she used to come to the U.S. She was born June 6,
1879 in Olpe, Nordrhein-Westfalen, Germany.

[I have searched for Rosa STERN and for Rosa Emanuel coming to the U.S.
and have not had any success with those searches to date.]

I would also like more information about her husband, Nathan STERN, who
was born Jan 3, 1877 in Meinerzhagen, Nordrhein-Westfalen, Germany, and
died in 1941. I do not know if he died in Germany or in Shanghai. He had
9 siblings, and I only know the names of two of them, Emma and Jakob,
who both died in 1921. His father was Levi STERN (1833-1919) and his
mother was Henriette EMANUEL (1839-?).

While I suspect that Rosa EMANUEL and Henriette EMANUEL were related, I
do not know the relationship, and would appreciate it if anyone can fill
in the blanks for that relationship if it exists. Since they are 40
years apart by age, I suspect Rosa was a niece of Henriette, but I do
not have any details on the Emanuel family of Olpe, Germany.

Thanks in advance,

Holon Cemetery, Israel #general

Michael Palmer <m.palmer@...>
 

Greetings.

I have information that says that Fivish (Feivel) WOLF, a second cousin
of mine, who fought in WWII, is buried in the Holon Cemetery in Tel
Aviv. He died in 1983. The tombstone should indicate, "Fivish son of
Bezalel".

Is there someone who could take a picture (jpg?) of his tombstone for
me? Thank you.
