1852 Family List of Lida District Jewish families who wanted to be farmers #belarus

Jrbaston
 

Dear fellow Lida District Researchers:

I've just added to the LitvakSIG Lida District Research Group site an
1852 Family List of Jews in the Lida District who wanted to be farmers
and who made application to move in order to do so. The list is on the
DATA page at <https://lidadistrict.shutterfly.com>;; under Lida Uezd
Files
and it is called <lidadistrictFLofJewswantedtomovetoNovorosia>

It is currently available to qualified contributors to the LitvakSIG
Lida
District Research Group but after 18 months will be publicly searchable
in the LitvakSIG All Lithuania Database and JewishGen Belarus Database.

In the middle part of the 19th century Jews had a possibility to move to
Siberia (mostly Tobolsk gubernia) and to Novorossia (to Kherson and
Yekaterinoslav gubernias) where Russian government gave them the
possibility to become farmers â?? to work on land.

At that time, in the 1830s through the early 1850s, the land in Siberia
was not prepared for new migrants and the Russian government offered
Jews who wanted to go to Siberia the opportunity to move to Kherson or
Yekaterinoslav [now Donetsk] gubernia. It is not clear who really left
Lithuania for Kherson gubernia and who still stayed in Lithuania.
According
to other documents (correspondence of officials) in the files, not all
families
left Lithuania.

In this file of 262 individuals >from towns in the Lida District who
wanted
to become farmers, it is especially interesting that a number of the
families
from Radun in this list are the very same families for whom it was
noted in the
1850 Revision List for Radun that they re-registered in Eisiskes in the
1858 Revision List.

I am copying the surnames for this list at the bottom of this message.

For those of you who are already part of the LitvakSIG Lida District
Research Group, thank you for your support, which helps us translate
this and other lists for our Lida District Families.

To become part of the LitvakSIG Lida District Research Group, go to
www.litvaksig.org/contribute scroll down a bit to Research Groups,
choose Lida District, and contribute $100 US, which will guarantee
you immediate access to files of newly translated Lida District
records for five calendar years, through December 31, 2019.

Please let me know if you have any questions. You may write
me at JRBaston@aol.com,

Movie 'Woman in Gold' Opens April 1 #general

Jan Meisels Allen
 

The movie Woman in Gold is the story of how an US attorney, E. Randol
Schoenberg, was able to get back six Gustav Klimt paintings stolen by the
Nazis during WW2. One of the paintings is the famous "Woman in Gold" which
after the war hung in the Belvedere Gallery in Vienna. Randy represented
the rightful owner-Maria Altman. Randy helped get back the stolen art
paintings >from the estate of Ferdinand and Adele Bloch-Bauer. The "Woman in
Gold" is Mrs. Altman's aunt Adele Bloch-Bauer. This quest took Randy to the
US Supreme Court as well as highest authorities in Austria. Randy Schoenberg
is known to us in the world of Jewish genealogy as the coordinator of the
Austria-Czech SIG, chairman of the board of the Los Angeles Museum of the
Holocaust, member of the JewishGen Board of Advisors, and an avid GENI.com
volunteer curator. Randy has also told this story (before the movie) at a
previous IAJGS conference. The movie opens on April 1, 2015.

ID New York Cemetery #general

Tammy
 

Hello,
I am wondering if anyone knows the identity of this cemetery:
"Sec M.R. Ocean View" is listed on a death index for an individual
who died in Manhattan, NY in 1909. Does this cemetery still exist?
If not, what became of the burials?
Thank you,

Moshe and Paula, from Orla Poland #general

Hi All

There have been further recent developments in my research on Moshe and
Paula, >from Orla, Poland.

The narrative begins in Orla and ends suddenly in South Africa.

However, my research starts 80 years later in Australia and takes me to
Poland, Belarus, the Baltics, Israel, the UK, Germany, South Africa and
North America.

Then the story continues in an unexpected way.

I share my experiences about the challenges of travelling and
researching in different archives and libraries. Top of the list was
going to Belarus and the State Archives in Grodno.

JewishGen.org plays a pivotal role in the development and success of my
story.

This led me to start writing and managing KehilaLinks as a volunteer,
beginning with the Orla KehilaLink and now extending to cities as
diverse as Shanghai, Berlin, Kimberley and Perth, 25 in all.

Researching Klein family (aka Kline) Ignatz Klein immigrated to the US in 1881-1882
>from Hungary He returned for a visit in the 1920s and listed his town as Bakasur, Hungary.
Is there anyone who might know where this town might be and/or what the name change
might be? We have not been able to find where Ignatz Klein was born or grew up.
He left no records.

Thank you
