Alternative documents for seeking Polish citizenship by descent? #general

Joseph Walder
 

I've been making some inquiries about the possibility of obtaining
Polish citizenship by descent. My father's parents both came from
towns in Galicia that became part of the restored Republic of Poland
after the end of the First World War. Unfortunately, birth records for
my grandparents did not survive the Second World War. The following
records do exist, however:

1. For my grandmother, who came >from the town of Sanok, there
are records about her being enrolled in school.

2. My grandfather's younger brothers, Hertz and Wolf, moved
from the village of Narol to Antwerp, Belgium in 1928. Wolf moved on
to the US within a couple of years, but Hertz married a German woman,
had children, and as far as I know, they lived in Antwerp through the
war years. The dossier kept on Hertz by the Antwerp police includes a
translation of his birth record >from the original Polish into Dutch.

I'm wondering whether records such as I have described, together with
other evidence (for example, photos of my grandfather and his
brothers), might be adequate for seeking Polish citizenship by
descent. Has anyone got experience with that situation? I want to
stress that I am not seeking legal advice.

Many thanks in advance.

Searching LDS records #general

Amit N
 

Hello,

I believe I have found a record on an LDS film that might be of
interest to me. I think I have located the right film on
FamilySearch.org. My question is, how do I find the exact record among
the 485 photos in there? Is there a clue or should I just search one
by one?

Thank you,

OK, now I have my answer. When a post on the digest is responded to,
there's no trailing quoted material. If it's on the same day (or part
of the day, if someone is on the 12-message digest), the response will
be grouped with the message it's responding to in a thread. But if
it's on a different day, Sally is correct: there's no context for
replies.

This teaches us two lessons:

1. The 12-message digest probably shouldn't be an option. A complete
daily digest affords less opportunity for mysterious disconnected
replies...though there will still be plenty of them.

2. If we don't continue to give high priority to readability, a lot
more people are not going to like what they see than the few people
whose messages have been unfairly rejected under the current system.

Currently there are only four options when I edit my delivery preferences:

•Individual messages
•Full-featured digest (a listing of topics with links to read the messages in a given topic)
•Daily summary (similar to Lyris's Index format)
•Announcements only

Groups.io seems to have many delivery options available to offer. Why are they not all offered to subscribers? The overhead for doing so seems to be zero. For instance, two days ago, I think, a plain digest that looks similar to the Lyris digest was presented as an option, and now that option is missing. The plain digest is a daily digest with all the messages for the day. In another groups.io list I'm a member of, there's a plain digest option that is limited to 12 messages, like our current 12-message limit for the full-featured digest. So groups.io seems to offer a daily digest of various sorts and a 12-message digest of various sorts. If any options are to be limited, I would suggest offering only the daily digest. Moderators often schedule long posts to appear at the end of the daily digest so there are no messages after them that would be missed. That's hard to do if some people are getting digests covering overlapping sets of posts. But if the 12-message digests are sent out at the end of each day even if there's only one post waiting to be compiled, there wouldn't be much difference.

So let's see all the options, and then we can decide whether there are some that shouldn't be made available to subscribers. The default position should be that everything is available, and an option should be excluded only with good reason.

Here is some additional information about voting eligibility for the
Russian State Duma in 1905. The Russian text of the Regulations on
Elections to the State Duma, Aug. 6, 1905, is online at
https://www.gumer.info/bibliotek_Buks/History/Article/pol_vubor.php.
Google Translate will give a reasonable idea of what the text says.
Articles 33 and 34 are more about the publication of the voter lists,
while articles 12-19 deal with eligibility.

Hi,
I have recently seen the 1906 Kremenets Conference of City Voters
(Ukraine) list of men who were eligible to vote. The document title
states the list was compiled according to Articles 33 and 34 of the
Statute on 000Elections to the State Duma. Does anyone know the rules
in Articles 33 & 34 that determined who had the right to vote?

Re: Nowy Sacz - Sanz #galicia

Hi Rachel,

About a month ago (June 26) I responded to a similar question in this
discussion group.

I want to tell you that we do have more than one hundred Jewish death
records >from Nowy Sacz 1877-1913 that include a surname that
sounds like BUXBAUM.

The extracted data >from some, but not all, of these death records (45
death records: 1882-1900, 1903) are available when you search our
database online:
https://jri-poland.org/jriplweb.htm

Until our fundraising for the additional years is complete the other
years are only available to supporters who have made a qualifying
contribution.

After you identify records of interest, high resolution images of the
original death records 1877-1913 are available without charge >from
the Polish Archives.

Please contact me privately for further information about identifying
records >from your family in Nowy Sacz.

If the moderator allows, my original post is repeated below:

JRI-Poland has extracted almost all of the surviving Jewish vital
records >from Nowy Sacz.

At this time the following Types & Years are available when you search
our online database:
Births 1854,78-80,90-92,1894-1905
Marriages 1882,84,1887-1905
Deaths 1882-1900,1903

We have since completed a more extensive project to extract additional
fields and to fill in the missing years between 1854 and 1913, but these
are not yet online.

This collection also includes Jewish vital records >from the nearby
towns of Bobowa, Czarny Dunajec, Kroscienko, Krosno, Krynica,
Labowa, Limanowa, Nowy Targ, Skrzydlna and Stary Sacz.

In addition, we have transcribed the 1870 Nowy Sacz Census, and we
will be completing transcription of the 1890 Nowy Sacz Census in the
next few months. Both of these will be available in our online database
later this year.

More recent years of vital records >from Nowy Sacz have been
transcribed as well (some into the mid 1930s), but these are not part
of our online database at this time.

Please contact me if you have specific questions about any of these
collections of records.

Dear fellow researchers,

I am looking for death - burial records for Nowy Sacz / Sanz. My search
on JewishGen is not producing results. Any suggestions of where to try
to find any records? I was in Nowy Sacz myself, but sadly most of the
matzeivos / gravestones are missing. My BUXBAUM great
grandparents for a few generations are buried in Sanz (Nowy Sacz
today). Any leads will be appreciated.
