If you can't find an artist to do one, there are templates for
decorative trees available online. Just search "decorative family
tree".

I bet, though, that he's at least as interested in finding out more
about his family than having the tree be decorative.

Viewmate translations - one Russian, one Polish #general

Jill Lewis
 

Hello
I have submitted two viewmate documents for translations, both are
from Czemierniki in Poland.
The first document in Polish at
http://www.jewishgen.org/viewmate/viewmateview.asp?key=VM37420 is for
the death of Feiga NUDELSZTECHER in 1845. I would if possible like a
full translation but any genealogical data (other names relationships
dates etc) would be good. I believe Feiga's husband was Chaim the son
of Abram.

The second document in Russian at
http://www.jewishgen.org/viewmate/viewmateview.asp?key=VM37421 is for
the death of Manus NUDELSZTECHER / SZTECHNUDEL in 1893. I am looking to
work out how Manus is related to other Nudelsztechers so any
information on names/relationships as well as dates would be much
appreciated.

Many thanks for your help.

Looking for Zygmunt EIGENGOKD (AJZENGOLD) #general

Helen Gardner
 

Hi all.

I was looking at some old data on my family tree, probably entered
in the 1960s, referring to some time before that. I saw that my
mother Sarah RASTENBERG (married Nathan FELD) had a first cousin
Zygmunt AJZENGOLD (EIGENGOLD), born about 1900. His father was Jacob
Meyer AJZENGOLD and his mother was Freda, maiden name unknown. His
father was born in Warsaw, and it's most likely that Zygmunt was too.
On my tree he was the youngest of 5 siblings: Rachel (b. 1894), Eva
(b. bef 1897), Yechiel (Harry), and Irene, so all roughly 1890s.

According to the notes, he married in New York and was last heard of in Canada.

I can't find him in JRI, nor in passenger lists into the US or Canada,
or in NY marriage lists or voting lists on either country (which
doesn't mean he isn't there, just that I can't find him).

Does anyone recognise the names, or can anyone suggest where to look next.

Adoptees birth certificates -- NYC, 1940s #general

Renee Steinig
 

I'm trying to understand how adoptees' birth certificates were created
in New York City in the mid-1940s and how/when they were indexed.

I've been told that the original certificate was modified to
substitute the child's new name and the names of the adoptive parents,
but the certificate number remained the same. I've also been told that
the certificate number may appear twice in the birth index -- once
with the original name, a second time with the adoptive name -- and
that some searchers have been able to learn an adoptee's original name
by searching through the birth index (in NYC c. 1946, that's over
150,000 names!) for a second appearance of the certificate number.

I'd appreciate hearing >from those of you who've had experience with
adoption searches and know something about the creation of the new
certificate and its listing in the birth index. Can you confirm that a
birth certificate number might indeed have been listed twice? And do
you know what happened when an adoption was finalized after the index
for the baby's birth year was published? (Would the listing by
adoptive name have appeared in the index for a later year or is the
record not in any index?) And finally, is there any possibility that
the "revised" birth certificate for a baby born in New York City might
have been filed elsewhere?

Thank you.

Przemysl 1852 Cadastral Map added to the Gesher Galicia Map Room #galicia

Pamela Weisberger
 

A Przemysl (Peremyshl, Pshemysl, Pshemishl, Przemysl, Premslau)
Cadastral Map 1852 has been added to Gesher Galicia's Cadastral Map
room:

http://maps.geshergalicia.org/cadastral/przemysl-1852/

This map includes surrounding suburbs and hamlets and although
missing a central sheet, the surviving sheets cover nearly all of the
business and residential core of the town. Marked on the map are the old
castle, a Z-shaped market, five large church complexes, a large
synagogue and an adjacent smaller synagogue, the large old Jewish and
Catholic cemeteries, a manor, and clay pits with brick factories. Some
unusual features around the perimeter of town include a powder tower,
a 'Tatar Hill', and what appears to be a disputed territorial border with
the then-distinct village of Sielec. Images for this map were provided to
Gesher Galicia by the Archiwum Panstwowe w Przemysyl and stitched by
our dedicated digital cartographic coordinator, Jay Osborn.

If you have enjoyed the growing number of province-wide and town-level
maps, consider donating to our Map Room general fund. Although town
project donations help us acquire shtetl maps, contributions go towards
the acquisition of antique province or district maps (usually found in
overseas stores, or online auction sites) or other specialty maps, along
with covering stitching costs and website development. We love bringing
new maps to your research universe and with more funding we can make
it happen even faster. Look for a major Cadastral Map Room re-design
coming in a few months!
