The LitvakSIG Siauliai District Research Group has just distributed lists
from 1795 to 1910 containing 6,664 records. They DO NOT contain vital
records. This data will not be on the ALD until 2007. If you think you are
a qualified member of this group and did not receive these records, please
let me know.

Emails to the following people bounced. If you have any knowledge of their

Kozevnik family -Merkine #lithuania

C Lipman <cslipman@...>
 

My mother came >from Merkine. In Lithuania, her name
was Debrusha Kozhevnik. She emigrated to the US at the
age of 11 (approx) with her mother and one of her
sisters. The older sisters went to Mexico. One
sister remained in Europe. Liba married Aizik
Kovarsky and had two children. They lived in Vilna,
and we know for sure that 3 of them died in the
Holocaust. The fate of the son is unknown. My
grandparents names were Khaim Eli and Khaya Etel
(pronounced Khayetel). Does anyone have any knowlege
of this family? I am finding almost no information,
even though they lived in Meretz (Merkine) for several
generations.

What does it mean when someone is listed with a family? #lithuania

Peerutin <jushilli@...>
 

Hi

While searching through The All Lithuania Revision List Database
for the name VELER >from Linkuva, I noticed references of other names as
being listed with them. Normally I would assume that this other name was
probably related to the family they were listed with but doing more
searching I noticed that this same name was also listed with others

Listed with family of VELER Orel (son of Yudel VELER) in 1834 Revision List
were BERSHINER / BERTINER/ BERZINER Leiba (son of Josel) and MARGOLIASH
Shymel (son of Mortkhel)
Leiba BERSHINER / BERTINER/ BERZINER was also listed with the family of Orel
son of Berel BAL in 1818 Hospital's Patients and Poor People
Shymel MARGOLIASH / MARGILES was also Listed with the family of Orel son of
Berel BAL in 1818 Hospital's Patients and Poor People

Could anyone help to explain what this means?

Thanks

Intro #poland

Judith L <proser2002@...>
 

I (and my sisters) were introduced to genealogy a few years ago when my
nephew's fiance, whose family comes >from Ireland and has been into genealogy
for some years, decided to attempt to construct my nephew's family tree. My
sisters and I were intrigued, since I guess as is common with many of the
second generation, we never asked many questions about our family members
beyond our grandparents, who immigrated >from what we were told was the
Russian Pale, around the turn of the century. Growing up I remember being
told that all my grandparents, except for my maternal grandfather (Benjamin
Erdberg, of Warsaw, he said) came >from Bialystok. I remember my maternal
grandmother telling me that her mother was "the princess of Bialystok." (Was
there such a thing????)

During her research my now niece-by-marriage was told by other family
members that one of the three supposed Bialystokers (correct term?) came
from a town pronounced like "Kinnish." I assume this to be a town near
Bialystok. My paternal grandparents' surname was Levine in the US. But there
is a story about how their name was changed by the officers scribbling names
down as they went through Ellis Island. The story goes that American
officers said, "It's another Levine...." and that's the name they wrote
down. In looking a little at the info on JewishGen I see that the most
likely original name to be scribbled down Levine would be Lewin. Lots of
Lewins in that database. Yet the rest of the family story says that the
original family name meant Gold. Maybe this is wishful thinking?

Here's what we (think we) know:
My paternal grandparents are Jenny Zavidsha (probably not the right
spelling) b. 1885 in Bialystok, died c1954 in Bronx, and Jacob Levine b.
1884 in "Kinnish" (presumed "suburb" of Bialystok), d. c1935. They had 3
children born in various boroughs of NYC: Benjamin 1908-1987; Esther/Esta,
1910-1984; Abraham/Al, 1915-1978.

My maternal grandparents are Bessie Friedenberg b. 1889 in Bialystok, died
1972 NYC, and Benjamin (we think Boroch on the ship manifest) Erdberg b.1884
Warsaw, died 1970 NYC. The 1930 census lists them both arriving in the US in
1905. They had 2 children, Albert 1912-2002, and Ida 1915-1963.

Ida and Al Levine are my parents.

After a brief look on the JewishGen and Ellis Island databases, I wrote to
my sisters and niece that due to the doubts about names, plus the variations
in spelling, plus the changes in names and places, I felt that it would be
very difficult to go any further researching databases. It seemed to me that
the best way to find anything more was to link up with people whose families
came >from the same place to see if we could find any similarities. And so I
joined this list.

If you are my long lost cousin let me know :-)

There is a bona-fide surname KAWALIK/KAWALICK and if
you google it you will find a modern-day Marc KAWALICK
- the name does not appear to be very common.
Interesting that you should say that: KAWALICK is a variant of
KAWAL/KAWALSKI, meaning "SMITH" in Polish; these names are quite common.
Even if KAWALICK is uncommon, one would need to investigate the various
suffixes too, in order to be thorough. Bear in mind too that "C" is
pronounced as "TS" in Polish, which makes me think that the "C" in
"KOWALICK" is probably spurious, unless there was also a final "I".

Re: Census Undercounts #general

There are multiple reasons for a person not being found on the U.S. Census
name indexes, just as there are similar reasons for not finding people
(initially) on the Ellis Island manifests.
When I first started looking up my family in the 1920 census, I could not find my
pgf who arrived in 1910. I was easily willing to count that as an undercount but
other genealogists encouraged me to keep looking. I thought it was silly to keep
looking for the same thing.

A few months later, I had heard someone say that census takers never asked the
spelling of a person's name as it was considered rude and wrote down what they
heard. But, wasn't soundex supposed to take care of that?

My pgf came >from Poland, so I figured that he probably spoke a Polish version of
Yiddish and would pronounce our last name as Broom-shtein. That came up with a
different soundex number. Trying a few variations, I found him under Broomstein.

The morale is, as Joel says, there are multiple reasons. Don't give up too
quickly and assume an undercount.

How often were people not counted in the census? #general

Stein Lewis
 

The question of how often people were not counted in the census also
raises questions of the accuracy of the information of the
information which is found. As I have compared the information
concerning members of my family >from 1900 to 1930, either the
enumerator just filled in what he thought was the right information
or my ancestors and their brothers and sisters did not remember the
year they emigrated, their country of origin, their original
language, their age, their marital age, and even their names. One
uncle lists Russia as his birthplace and Russian as his language. His
son lists his father's birthplace as Roumania and his language as
Roumanian. Since this uncle happened to be a famous cantor of the
time I know >from other sources that he was >from Roumania and that his
language was Yiddish.
I first appear in the 1930 census taken in a small steel mill town in
western Pennsylvania. Not only is my first name spelled wrong, but my
place of birth (Ohio) is stated to be Pennsylvania. Both of my
parents were born in Pennsylvania and are listed as such, but the
column which lists my parents place of birth, shows Russia. I'm
suspect that the emumerator just went down the line writing Russia,
Serbia or Italy depending upon the surnames.
While the census material is a great clue, don't treat it as accurate.
