(European Union) European Jewish Cemeteries Initiative Launches New Website With Surveys of 1500 Jewish Cemeteries #romania

Jan Meisels Allen
 

The European Jewish Cemeteries Initiative (ESJF) has launched its new
website funded by the European Union. It has mapped 1500 cemeteries in 5
countries: Greece, Lithuania, Moldova, Slovakia and the Ukraine. See:
https://www.myheritage.com/research/category-3030/military-documents. The
open access data base include all the surveys being done in 2019-2020 may be
accessed at: https://www.esjf-surveys.org/surveys/

As each cemetery is completed and processed aerial photographs, historical
data and geographical data will be uploaded to the website. This is a work
in progress.

As previously reported, the European Union provided 800,000 Euros for the
project. The ESJF started work in 2015 by surveying and fencing Jewish
cemeteries to protect them >from destruction. With the EU grant, it has
expanded its mission using drone technology and historical research to map
the 1500 Jewish cemetery sites in the 5 aforementioned countries. TO read

This is my first post, and thanks in advance for any assistance. I
have been searching the online databases for family in Storojinetz to
no avail. My grandmother was born there in 1915 and came to the U.S.
1935, her brothers shortly after. I have a paper copy of her birth
record extracted in 1935, and a certificate of nationality with the
names of all her siblings and her mother, plus the mother's date of
birth (1884, Nepolocauti) and death (1934, Storojinetz).

The surname for everyone in the documents is Sonnenreich. The father
is not listed, and this is who I most want to find. My understanding
is that he died before 1934. I am told that after the children were
orphaned in 1934, the authorities took possession of the house and
turned it into a police station. 4 siblings came to the U.S. and 2
siblings stayed behind and died in or on the way to Transnistra.

Did any records survive >from these towns? If so, I must be doing
something wrong. I read about a cemetery project 2 years ago, but not
sure of the status of that.

Soviet censuses #general

Joseph Walder <jswalder@...>
 

Are any of the Soviet-era censuses in a form similar to the 1897
Russian Empire census or US censuses? In other words, is it possible
to search for particular names >from particular places? By "search"
here I mean visual inspection as well as using possibly digitized and
indexed records.

Thanks for any suggestions.

This week's Yizkor book excerpt on the JewishGen Facebook page #general

Bruce Drake
 

This week's excerpt is the story of an "ordinary" man. It is perhaps
not as dramatic as many of the Yizkor book chapters presented here,
but it is a portrait of a man "happy with his portion of life" who
worked many jobs, each of which provides its own picture of life in
the shtetl. In the beginning, Todres was a water-carrier, then a
grave-digger ("When his work was done, he used to take out >from his
pocket a bottle of whisky or spirit and drank, but he never was
drunk.") and undertaker.

When his earnings were not enough, he worked as a helper in the
synagogue. When the sexton's daughter scandalized the congregation by
converting to Christianity and marrying a Pole, Todres took his place,
winning over those who were less than happy about his new role. He
brought home every penny he earned to his wife (who cooked for him
meals that were "very far >from good and tasty.") Todres' story, "Image
of Ordinary People," is >from the Yizkor book of Sopotkin, Belarus.

Town was known as Glogow kolo Rzeszowa (Glogow near Rzeszow).
Following end of WWII and the incorporation by Poland German lands,
including town Glogau, which was renamed Glogow. "Your"Glogow has been
renamed to Glogow Malopolski.

There were two Jewish cemeteries in town, the old cemetery was established
in 1712, as usual, on the land located beyond town walls. Cemetery was
officially closed in 1935, but apparently some burials continue during WWII.
Please refer to Mr. Bielawski outstanding "kirkuty" site at:

http://www.kirkuty.xip.pl/glogow_malopolski.htm

New cemetery was established at the beginning of 20 century and according to
publication: "Krawiec J., Jewish community of G'ogow Ma'opolski', 120 people
were buried there till year 1939.

Both cemeteries have been completely destroyed, no matzevot left. Some
cemetery stones were used to improve streets hardness surfaces, and the
majority have been utilized, as usual, by the locals for their construction
needs.

NYC Records help #general

Steve Pickoltz
 

Help and or Guidance needed. Here goes.

In part, this is the info that that I sent to the Archives Center at the
Records Management Division for NYC.

I have a Birth Record #18810 dated May 21, 1893 for a male, no name PICKHOLTZ,
born at the Sloan Maternity Hospital in NYC. The father is only listed as
PICKHOLTZ, and the mother is listed as "Lena" PICKHOLTZ. (The new owners of
this hospital no longer have records going back that far.)

I also have a Death Cert. #20801, dated June 4, 1893, for a Israel PICKHOLTZ,
who died at the Hebrew Sheltering Arms, located at 210 Madison St., NYC. The
parents are listed as Jakiel and "Marie" Pickholtz. The child was said to be
14 days old at death.

If you notice, the mothers' names are different, but the time between birth
and death seem correct, so this could be the same person.

I am looking to prove this un-named PICKHOLTZ and the Israel PICKHOLTZ are one
in the same. This can only be done if the mothers are the same. This is the
only info I have been able to find on this (these) families. Can you help?

What I got >from the Archives Center was a form to fill out to get a "Birth
Record" at a cost of $15.00. I already have it as stated above in the letter
to them.

Does anyone have a suggestion?
