IAJGS Conference Films #latvia

For Latvian researchers attending the upcoming IAJGS conference in Salt Lake
City, we will be screening a special film of Latvian interest:

"My Jewish Grandfather" by Danish filmmaker, Casper Hoyberg, on Monday, July
16th at 2:30PM in the seminar theatre.

In this documentary, Hoyberg travels to Latvia and Israel, the place he was
born, where he delicately unlocks the secrets of a once-silent history and
in the process, forges deeper relationships with his grandmother and father.
In interviews with at-first reluctant relatives, he gently coaxes out the
story of his grandfather’s fate in the Russian army and learns a bit more
about his own identity. This film includes historic footage of Riga in the
years prior to, and during, WWII.

(DVDs of this film will be for sale at the conference.)

Another film which touches on the subject of Viennese Jews deported to Riga
during WWI is the excellent "Who Do You Think You Are?," a British
television series that shows the step-by-step genealogical sleuthing process
necessary to building a family tree and discover the fate of those lost in
the Holocaust. This episode deals with U.K. writer and performer, Stephen
Fry, tracing his roots. Recommended viewing for all dedicated researchers.

This film screens three times: Tuesday, July 17th - 2:00 PM, Wednesday,
July 18 6:30PM, Friday, July 20th - 8:30 AM.

Dear Fellow researchers,
I have recently recieved a document >from YIVO in New York that relates to
the town of Ostrowo (Ostrow Weilkopolski). However, it is all in Hebrew
which I can not read.
Can anyone suggest a reliable means of getting a translation. It is about 2
- 3 pages of printed Hebrew text and captions on 2 photographs.

Any suggestions or contacts are welcome

Burzenin new indices available #poland

Roni S. Liebowitz
 

Dear Researchers,

I am very pleased to announce the addition of nearly 100
birth, marriage and death indices for the town of
Burzenin covering the period 1900-1903. The
years 1848, 1868-1899 are already searchable on-line on the
Jewish Records Indexing-Poland website.

The 20 top surnames listed most frequently in this town are:

SALAMONOWICZ, SERADZKA, SERADZKI, JAKUBOWICZ, TONDOWSKI,
ZEMEL,GOLDBART, TONDOWSKA, SZLEZINGER, SIJERADZKI, BUDA,
GRUSZKA, KORN, SKURKA, BRESLER, ERLICH, PIK, PRZEDBORSKI,
BERGMAN, LEWKOWICZ.

Burzenin is located at 51 28'/18 50' and 30.5 miles from
Lodz. It is only 5 miles west of Widawa, 5.6 miles
from Brzeznica, 9.3 miles >from Zloczow, and 16 miles from
both Zdunska Wola and Sieradz. If your family came >from any
of these towns, it is possible you also have family in Burzenin.

All those contributing no less than US$25 will qualify to
obtain the entire database of 763 indices as an Excel file
for personal research.

Your Qualifying Contribution ensures that you receive all
the data NOW, in advance of its general availability in the
JRI-Poland Online Searchable Database. It will also enable
you to study all the Burzenin record indices at
once, and perhaps find a family name whose connection you
had forgotten, or to work with the data (for example,
sorting by first name) to search for a grandmother's or
great-grandmother's elusive maiden name. Your participation
in supporting the indexing of records for Burzenin
can bring to light information you may have never imagined
you would find.

Credit card donations can be telephoned or faxed
to the JRI-Poland treasurer listed below.

I am really shocked at the news of Boris Krantz's untimely death -
Boris was untiring in his efforts to research his family history. I have
corresponded with him over the last 7 years or so, and met him in N.Y. in
2003. He was successful in finding previously unknown relatives and their
descendants, and delighted when he did find them.
As Stephanie Weiner wrote, he was indeed a gentle man, and he will be sadly
missed.
