Re: Nanny BRUCK married to David COHN #germany

Roger Lustig
 

Dear Allan:
The BRUCK family lived in Oels for only a short while. The records on
LDS 1184444 show that David BRUCK and family (including 16-year-old
Anna) moved there >from Neisse (now Nysa) in Feb. 1843 and moved to
Breslau (Wroclaw) a few months later. However, David's wife Babette
died in Oels in early 1844.

David COHN was a leather merchant in Oels. So was Marcus BRUCK, who
moved there >from Neisse in 1842. He moved "to his parents" in Breslau
in 1846.

I hope to have the Olesnica/Oels records up at JRI-Poland before too
long. Have fun with the many, many Nysa records there!

By the way, the sources for both Nysa and Olesnica are typed
transcriptions made in the 1930s >from originals now lost. So there's no
verifying this information beyond the transcription.

So it is possible that her parents also married in New York. It is
also possible that Nanny's last name was spelled BROOK or BROOKS, which is a
well-known name in New York.
If anybody knows of any Nanny BRUCK or BROOK I would be happy to learn
about it, I have not been able to find such a person >from the ordinary
sources such as family-search.

We now have all of the Bohemian and Moravian families >from volume one

bourgeoisie of Vienna) connected to the tree on geni.com. See
http://www.geni.com/projects/Jewish-Families-of-Vienna/9272 The Geni
tree is basically just the skeleton with names and dates, but Gaugusch's
book contains much more information that has not yet been input into the
geni tree. On the other hand, on Geni you can hop easily >from family to
family, see documents (such as obituary notices and photos), follow a
tree down through female lines, and locate living descendants.

We are also starting up projects for each of the Jewish communities in

Family History Pages Course will begin October 1 #poland

Phyllis Kramer
 

Do you have a lot of genealogical family material to share and want to
organize it into a set of images, but don't know how? Marlis Humphrey
will explain and demonstrate how to create image rich family history
pages for your family. Students will learn how to layout, design, and
edit a quality family history page set for two ancestors, that can be
broadened at a later time. You will learn to include documents like
census, naturalization and photographs of your family, heirlooms and
memorabilia .Students will discover sources of digital resources
(templates, fonts, etc.) for formatting, and will walk through a
project using Photoshop Elements 10 for editing. you will learn how to
format the pages for printing using Shutterfly.

The goal is to give students the basic PSE10 skills needed to complete
your family history pages. Those students who master this formatting
can enroll in the follow-on course to make covers, spines and backs
required to make the mini-book print-ready.

For details on requirements, tuition and dates, please view the course

Translation of Documents from Russian #lodz #poland

Dear Lodz Area Research Group,

I have two family documents that are in Russian. I have sought help
from Russian friends, but they have been unable to translate the
documents because the handwriting is IN an 'older form with which they
are unfamiliar.

I've posted the vital records in Russian for which I need a direct
translation if possible. They are on ViewMate at the following
addresses:
