How many of you use online auctions for genealogical research?

IF so what have you found and where? which auctions site? and are they in an
language other then English? if so which language?

What type of documents, postcards or other source have you bought or just found
interesting?

see a Solomon appear as a Samuel, or a Simche as a Shimshon. This was

addition to a specifically "Jewish" name. Where Shmuel was rejected as too Jewish,
Salomon might be acceptable by the registarr of births, or Samson for a Simche

In 1904, Lithuanian immigrants began to arrive in the Crowsnest Pass region
of Alberta where they were employed as miners. In subsequent decades,
Lithuanians in the province engaged in farming or worked for the Canadian
Pacific Railway. By 1941, Approximately 8,000 people of Lithuanian descent
lived in Canada.

Re: Any Hebrew or Russian articles about the IAJGS Jerusalem #general

Were any articles covering the 2004 IAJGS Conference in Jerusalem published
in either Russian or Hebrew?
The last two issues of Sharsharet Hadorot of the Israel Genealogical
Society [IGS] have been dedicated to the Jerusalem Conference. If
your JGS library is subscribed, you could get a copy of the articles
which are published both in Hebrew and in English.

Czarist Period Military Records #poland

Jim Bennett <bennett@...>
 

My grandfather Shabtai/Szeps Dawidowicz, born in 1872 in Wielun, Lodz
Province, Russian Poland, was drafted into the Czarist Russian Army
sometime between 1889-1895, and served for several years as a flutist
in a military band, including in Russian Asia.

Can anyone tell me if and how his service record might be found in some
Russian or Polish archive?

Mapping out Galicia, Poland and the Pale #poland

s_wiener@...
 

Mark Halpern's explanation of the JRI-Poland online
database resources, got me to wondering. Where can
one get maps to see the changing borders of Poland
from about 1850 to 1950?
I am researching family originating in Poland,
Galicia, Belarus and Bukovina. As I'm sure many
others have encountered, when asked the country of
their origin these ancestors gave different answers at
different times. "Austria" is the #1 favorite
response, with "Poland" a close 2nd, but both are
misleading. Until I found the town of origin, I would
often be barking up the wrong tree with my research,
so to speak.

What I would like, if genies were real, is an
interactive 4 or 5 color detailed overlay map that
shows geopolitical changes in either 10 year intervals
or at each redivision of these territories in Eastern
Europe. And with the caveat of including as many
cities/towns/villages/shtetls as possible. Is there
any hope? Am I imagining a new project?

Guess that while I can read verbal descriptions, I
must be a visual learer and I really feel the need to
see these changes [and to see the cities/towns of each
family line in context to one another.]

Thanks for your suggestions,

Seeking info on town of "Liveliky" #poland

Mtbw@...
 

I am having a lot of trouble finding a research focus and I hope
someone can help. My grandfather was born somewhere in Poland. He
orally reported his birthplace as "Siedlce, or Vertze (Warsaw) Woods".
I have looked at relevant Siedlce records and there are no persons
with his name or any close variant in those records (of which I am aware).

My grandfather's name was Jacob Bronkersch (or some soundex variant
thereof). His wife, my grandmother, Gussie Szlakman, was born in Lahishyn.
My grandfather married my grandmother in Krakow in January 1911 and by
October 1911 the family was in France, where my uncle was born. The family
emigrated to the United States in Jan. 1915.

Recently, I have discovered my grandfather's World War I draft registration
which lists his place of birth as "Liveliky." When I entered Liveliky
in the Shetl finder the closest hit I get is Lublica, which is near Krakow.
Can anyone give me suggestions as to what I might be missing in the above
regarding the location of my grandfather's birth? Since I do not speak
Yiddish (my grandfather's native tongue), could is there something in
the pronunciation of Liveliky that I am missing?

Please reply privately.
