Anyone or everyone. Help.!!
Please could someone recommend a researcher for me. I have tried
different people without much luck.
One was far too expensive and the others seemed to have given up.
It's obviously not that eay to find the family.
I have totally hit a brick wall and am getting so frustrated.
We have documents >from Lithuania, so we know the family were there.
Any help would be marvellous. Thanks so much.
Regards.

Re: New Data Added to the ALD for the First Quarter of 2018 #lithuania

Eden,

Thanks for the upadate and a quick question:

Is there an effective way to search the ALD for new records without
bringing up all the prior records?

If so, please detail the instructions. What date should be used to
search only in the newest batch of records announced below?

Appreciated,
Adam

The quarterly addition of new data to our All Lithuania Database (ALD)
is
now searchable online.

A summary of the new data uploaded to the ALD for the 1st Quarter of
2018 is
below.

The Grand Total of New Lines of data is 16,177.

Revision List Template (Total Lines 10,503): Records for Disna town and
District, Oshmiany District, Sejny District in Suwalki Guberniya, many
towns
in Vilnius District and Vilnius City, and Zarasai District (Rokiskis
town).

Tax / Voters Template (Total Lines 3,122): Records for Kaunas District,
Panevezys District and Vilnius District plus countrywide list of medical
practitioners.

Internal Passports (Total Lines 2,552): Foreign Passports for Vilnius
City.

Please note that not all data in a particular template is actually data
of
that specific type - eg. Passport Issuance records for Kaunas District
appear in the Revision List Template category. Conscript and Draft lists
will also appear in the Revision List category. Please look at all
search
results even if you don't think the record type category is relevant to
your
search. You just never know what you'll find.


Happy hunting,

New file added to Vilnius District Research Group #lithuania

Jill Anderson <jill.anderson@...>
 

I have just added a file of conscripts to the Russian Army in 1913. It
is on the "Data" page, under "Vilnius Draft and Conscription Lists".
There is information on the conscript and often on his family, giving
names, ages, relationships and addresses. There are 2,750 lines of
information. Contributors to the Group will have access to the file
straight away. It won't be added to the All Lithuania Database (ALD) for
18 months. If you are not a contributor, please consider becoming one.

For a contribution of $100 you will have access to all the Vilnius
District records for 5 years. They are on Excel spreadsheets and you can
download them to your computer and search them by surname, first name,
year, town name etc. We have more records to be translated but we need
funds to enable us to do so. We have to purchase records >from archives
and pay for translations, though we are fortunate to have some =
volunteers to translate for us. Please see this link for information on
the group and how to contribute.

Re: Is there a Jewish DNA data base for searches? #dna

The Gateway Team <gateway808@...>
 

Hello.
I have just discovered that I  am at least part Jewish. I never knew and
the surprise is still settling in. It began with a DNA test that found I
was ten percent Ashkenazi Jew. That's not much, but it is a total surprise
and a very happy discovery.

I uploaded my DNA results to Ged Match and the overwhelming amount of 3rd,
4th, 5th cousins located in the New York Metropolitan area- with a large
dash of rabbis in the mix.

This led me to seeking out the history of my great grandparents, but almost
nothing is known of them. Great grandfather was a Bartz >from Russia whose
land was taken during the Deportation of Germans circa 1914. His wife,
Annie (Anna?) Luks came >from Poland. Other than that, there seems no way to
trace them further back. We have no names of their fathers or mothers, nor
even the villages they came from.

However, through the DNA comparisons on GedMatch, I may be able to find
closer matches, and they may know more.  This has been such a proud moment
for our entire family.  And very surprising.

Is there a DNA data base specifically for Jewish searches?

Benny MERDLER in New York #general

Ella Welther
 

Hi,
I am looking for any information about Benny ( probably Berl ) MERDLER
born about 1873 to Marcus Merdler and Fanny Wasserman.
Benny married July 1913 in New York Clara Segale.
According to Campulung Birth Records Merdler (Moerdler) Marcus aka
Hendzel or Hedzel and Fanny aka Feige Wassermann had also following
children:
Silke born 1870
first name unknown born 1873
Moses born 1874
Melech born 1877
My guess is that Silke, unknown, Moses and Melech are Benny's siblings.
I would like to find out if there are descendants of any of them.
Sincerely,

Marriage Between First Cousins #ukraine

David Jacobs <djacobs@...>
 

On April 30, N. Ried asked about marriage between first cousins


My maternal grandparents were first cousins; their mothers were
sisters. They were married in the US shortly after my grandfather
sent enough money for my grandmother to come. I wondered why they
didn't marry in Russia, but the probable explanation is that my
grandfather had to leave Russia in a hurry to avoid serving in the
Russo-Japanese war.
I asked a rabbi whether first cousin marriage was ok under Jewish law.
She said it is ok. Then recently I read a biography of Zeev Jabotinsky.
It said his parents could not marry in Russia because it was illegal
in Czarist Russia. If cousins in Odessa did marry perhaps the rabbi
had no problems with it, and the civil authorities were not informed.
Interestingly, according to Wikipedia, first cousin marriage is
illegal in some states in the US. My grandparents were married in
Philadelphia and first cousin marriage is illegal in Pennsylvania.
In Indiana where I grew up and my grandparents lived first cousin
marriages are void. Maybe the laws in the early 20th century were
different or probably when they arrived in the US around 1905
they never asked.

Shalom,

In my tree, I have two examples of first cousins marrying each other,
both in Odessa
First people born respectively in 1856 and 1856, >from a bourgeois,
rather assimilated background, and later two of their children, born
in 1888 and 1892, both marrying two sisters, again their first
cousins.
Thankfully, the third brother, my grandfather, found a bride outside
the family!

Since Odessa was home to a huge community, offering lots of socially
compatible matches, I have been trying to find a reason for these
repeated marriages.
Do you have similar examples? Does anyone know how these marriages
were considered in Orthodox and liberal circles at the time?


I would be very grateful for any example, lead or anecdote.

Thanks a lot in advance,

Looking for town Krivoi Ossen, Russia about 1920 #general

Alberto Guido Chester
 

I am looking for the place of origin of a relative whose name was
Yasbitzky (sp).

The oral records >from the 1920's state the place as Krivoi Ossen.

I have found in Jewishgen databases

1. Krivoi could be Krivvi Rih (UKr) or Krivoy Roj (Rus)

2. Krivoi could be Krive Ozero (Ukr) or Krivoye Ozero (Rus)

Does the ending Ossen have any meaning?

Is one of both a possibility?

Any other suggestions?

PS:. Yabizky departed >from Bremen to Argentina and his ship brother
from the same town was named Dejtiar.
Thanks in advance

Viewmate requests - short translations of Yiddish #general

I've posted four sentences >from the backs of two family picture postcards,
the first two are >from the first postcard and the third and fourth are from

The four are on Viewmate at the following addresses...

http://www.jewishgen.org/viewmate/viewmateview.asp?key=VM66561
http://www.jewishgen.org/viewmate/viewmateview.asp?key=VM66562

What I know about the two picture postcards is the majority in my album
relate to my Fraider family >from Ukraine. My grandmother Jennie (Shayndl)
Fraider married Mordechai/Mottel/Max Mlynarz/Miller >from Ostroleka Poland
in New York in November 1916. At least one of the postcards has the year
1925 in the text.

I can determine >from the little I can read of the Yiddish that the town name
Ostroleka is mentioned. I don't know the context, and don't know the
identities of the persons depicted on the opposite sides of the postcards,
and have no knowledge of whether my grandparents knew each other or related
individuals >from the in-law families in Eastern Europe, so this might help
me determine the answers to some of these questions.
