Re: h-sig digest: August 14, 2018 #hungary

Dear Bob,
the â??imahÃ¥zâ?? is the mirror translation of the house ( hÃ¥z) of worship (ima). Practically it means that the actual community is small, they have built a relatively minor building (or even changed a former apartment) into religious purposes. As you know, the official licences of the different authorities played also a significant role.
By the way,my mother-line part of family is rooted also in �jfehÊrtó. Which database do you scroll?

I've been going through Ujfeherto birth registers for the 1860s and the usual place where
circumcisions were performed was "Izahaz," which does not appear in my Hungarian dictionary and
Google translates as "meeting house." Is that correct, or is there another way to interpret
"izahaz"?

Imahaz literally translates as a house of prayer. It is a Beisemedresh/Beth
haMidrash.

Need assistance finding family members - MARGULIES from Touste, Poland #general

Andrea Zimmerman <nptgirl@...>
 

Hi. I have been trying to gather family information about my grandfather. His
name was Sigmund MARGULIES (changed to Sigmund Margolis) and he was born in
Touste, Poland. He immigrated to NY and then moved to Newport, Rhode Island
and opened a grocery store.

He married Tillie Rosen in NY. He had 4 brothers that died in Europe but I do
not know their names. His father's name was Samuel A. Margulies and his
mother's name was Fannie. I believe that he had an uncle and cousins in NY.
Was hoping that you would be able to recommend how I could obtain his
brother's names and confirm his father and mother's names.

Any help is greatly appreciated. I can be reached at email: nptgirl@...

Thanks.

International Tracing Service Makes Documentation More Understandable #general

Jan Meisels Allen
 

Since the end of World War II the International Tracing Service (ITS) has
kept records that are >from concentration camps, displaced persons and forced
laborers. The archive has over 30 million documents including original maps
and information >from other archives. The information is relevant to over
17.5 million people. In an attempt to explain the structure of major
documents that one is likely to see on its website, as sometimes the files
and maps are not fully understandable to the reader, the ITS developed an
e-Guide. To access the guide go to: https://eguide.its-arolsen.org/en for
English or https://eguide.its-arolsen.org/ for German.

It is recommended that the reader use a PC to view the e-Guide while it was
designed for use on PCs, laptops and tablets, it can be viewed on smart
phones as well, but not all of the features will be available.

As the ITS is located within the European Union you are required to
acknowledge the use of cookies to be compliant with the General Data
Protection Regulation (GDPR).

The e-Guide focuses on file cards and forms that were developed for a
single person. The e-Guide describes who used the respective cards and
forms, when, how and why. There are also links to other background
information. Note: Not all documents for all people persecuted by the Nazis
were preserved-many were destroyed during the war. If you think a
description is missing or have other comments contact the ITS at:
eguide(at)its-arolsen.org. Also, not all German terms have been translated
into the English version of the E-Guide.

Thank you to Peter Lande for sharing the information about the e-Guide with
us.

I just found out that I am 15% Jewish! #general

Tracy Jones <cvgrammy@...>
 

I just received the Ancestry.com DNA results. I am 15% Jewish but never had a
clue! Very exciting but frustrating at the same time. I have done much work
on my ancestry and now believe I know where my Jewish heritage comes >from but
I can't seem to find out any information at all.

My grandmother was always known as Isabel Ila (Stanley) Moore. I found her
Marriage License and see Isabel Kaufman Stanley. I've never heard Kaufman before!

Facts that I have for her father; my great grandfather:
1. Harry Emil Stanley
2. Born Feb. 15, 1866 in New York. I found one thing that said Bronx but not
sure if that is correct.
3. Married on Aug. 20, 1895 to Alice J. Gann in Alameda County, CA
4. 1900 US Census has him in Santa Monica, CA. He is married to Alice and both
Harry's parents were born in Germany.
5. 1910 US Census has him in Santa Monica, CA
6. 1920 US Census has him in Fresno, CA
7. He died in Fresno, CA on July 7, 1921

I can't find anything earlier than when he was 29 years old. No parents name
either. Any help is appreciated as I'm finding **nothing.**

I'm so frustrated.

Thank you in advance for any help you might offer,

Re: Polish Business Directory - Bondanowicz #poland

Sylvia,

I'm afraid that you are incorrectly reading people's surnames in
Wasiliszki rural commune.

Bohdanowicz, not Bondanowicz [Marja],
and
Bohdziewicz, not Bondanowich [Jozef]

Those people are not Jewish, they are listed there as owners of the
settlements or manors in Wasiliszki rusral administration. Names next to
surnames identify property names, and numbers in parentheses show area
of the property which is expressed in units known as morgen.

Best,
