SEGAL Family in France #france

Bubylu@...
 

Hello,

Once again I am searching for 'my' long lost SEGAL family. I now have names
and address so this might be helpful. One person is Claude SEGAL who lives
in Francemont,Paris and his son who is Philippe who also lives in Paris on
the Avenue Jean Jaures.
I have no way of contacting either of these gentleman and would be most
appreciative if someone could give them the information that I am looking for
them. Claude's father was Levy SEGAL, brother to my grandfather Nathan. They
(the brothers) were originally >from Iasi, Romania. Claude's mother was Pessa
and he was one of 7 children of Levy and Pessa SEGAL.
Please, if you can help me contact them or have them contact me I would be
so grateful to you.

Sincerely,
Lois SEGAL Friedman

Re: Acquiring documents from Romania #romania

Sorin Goldenberg <soring0412@...>
 

It depends on the dates of the records.
If they are 100 years old and more, then you can try to approach the
National Archives, Bucharest branch.
If they are newer, then the approach is via the embassy/consulate -
since I am Israeli, I am not familiar with the US one. At Israel,
approaching the Romanian embassy is one experience to let pass.
Additional option is to hire a licensed researcher. One additional
problem is that Bucharest has several city halls, so you need to find
the correct one.

Sorin Goldenberg,

Hello all

My mother was born in Bucarest and I have a copy of her birth certificate
from there but it has some illegible parts. I am looking to get a new copy. I
went to the Romanian consulate in NYC last April where I completed an
application and paid them in cash for a copy of the certificate. I also
enclosed a copy of the one I had to assist them in locating the copy in Bucarest.
I also requested her mother's death certificate and enclosed a copy of the grave
card that I have. I have heard nothing at all.

I recall reading here about someone contacting the Romanian Embassy in DC
for assistance and wonder how that turned out. Is there any other advice
anyone has, or experience, with obtaining documents for Bucarest?

Whereas I know people are asked to reply privately for some family
questions, I think that any information or experience with resources, archives,
etc. in Romania would be valuable to all list members. This is a relatively
small group and Romania seems more difficult to get information >from than some of
the other places. I appreciate any thoughts on continuing researching this
area.

If anyone would like to respond to me privately about research experience I
would also welcome that.

Searching for Tolkiew, Austria #general

While searching emigration records for the HEROLD Family I came across Matel Herold
from Tolkiew, Austria in the manifest of the ship Kaiserin Auguste Victoria noted
to be sailing >from Hamburg on the 22 of November, 1913. The name of the town was
written 3 times and in easily readable script so I am fairly sure of the spelling.
The Jewish Herold Family, as far as I know are >from the area of Lviv [ljviw],
German: Lemberg; Polish: Lww; Russian: L'vov; (Galicia). I can find no city by
that name anywhere. I wonder if anyone has ever heard of it.

Fw: Maternal ancestors - JACKOBS (any and all varients)J #germany

Eileen <kydebren@...>
 

I have been searching without success for my maternal grandmother's origin
and for her ancestors.

My original information was that the family was >from Schneidemuhl. The
information was based on a photograph taken in the late 19th or very early
20th century in that city. The family name (as I know it >from wedding
invitation) was JACOBS. I now seems likely the family originated from
somewhere in the Posen region.

Grandmother - Jewish nomenclature: Szeporah Bas Mendel English: Sophie
JACOBS Supowit. Was married to Elias (Ellis) SUPOWITS, 3 March, 1895, at the
Golden Rule Hall, Rivington St., NYC, NY. She passed away in 1948 and was
between 82-84 years old.

Sophie lived in NYC, as did her siblings, George JACOBS, Carl JACOBS, Sarah,
Laura and Pauline at least until her marriage. Mom Sophie moved to
Shenandoah, PA with her husband. Pauline married (unknown name) moved to
Sunbury PA and all other siblings eventually moved to the Detroit MI area.

Since all of that generation and members of the next generation are deceased
and oral history is no longer available, I must rely on what records I am
able to locate (I have found the # of the marriage license and will be
requesting it) and the possible recollection of our generous sig members.

Thank you for you time attention and hopefully input.

Re: girtagola, was:LEVENTHAL in Lithuania #general

Jules Levin
 

I would like to thank all those who correctly deciphered my ggf's town name,
written as Gertagolder, to be Girtagola, now Girkalnis. Regarding this name change,
which antedated the Soviet occupation and extensive name revision, you might be
amused to learn that "Girtagola" means something like "drunk end" as in, say, the
drunk end of town...On the other hand the new name, Girkalnis, means "forest hill".
Sounds like a developer's invention. Sadly, no one recognized the name of my ggm,
Libby Leventhal. Is there a way of searching the JewishGen data base by
searching names, within, say, a 20 kilometer radius of Girkalnis?
Again, thanks to all who responded.

Passenger lists post-1924 #general

Israel P
 

A National Commercial Enterprise Supporting Those Researching Yesteryear whose name
we are not supposed to mention here, made their passenger list database freely
available for a few weeks a couple of months ago.

Among the new documents I found there are post-1924 passenger lists, however they
only had the left side of the manifest - the one titled "List or Manifest of Alien
Passengers for the United." When I asked them about the other half, they said
that's all they had and I couldn't do better on Steve Morse's resources either.
The Family History Library in Salt Lake City says that they have the full
manifests, but I was wondering if there is a way I can get at a few of these before
going to the Conference in July, without putting anyone to alot of trouble.

Thank you.
