I'm pleased to announce that the Kremenets District Research Group
(KDRG) has posted an update to our Master Name and Place Index.
(We call it a Concordance.) The Concordance now has more than
264,000 entries. The Concordance can be searched using Steve
Morse's One Step Search Engine, and is downloadable >from our
JewishGen Kremenets KehilaLinks website:

http://kehilalinks.jewishgen.org/Kremenets/web-pages/master-surnames.html
[or http://tinyurl.com/7qurvfm - MODERATOR]

Concordance entries now include translations of 32,554 vital records
that we have received >from the LDS Family History Library and >from the
Central Archives for the History of the Jewish People (Hebrew
University, Jerusalem). These include 22,120 birth records, 2,508
marriages, 52 divorces, and 7,874 deaths. The vital records are for the
following towns:

Belozirka
Berezhtsy (Velikiye Berezhtsy)
Katerburg (Katerinovka)
Kremenets
Lanovtsy (Lanovets)
Oleksinets (Aleksinets, Novy/Staryy Oleksinets)
Shumsk
Vishnevets
Vyshgorodok

Our ancestors often moved >from place to place. As a result when we
examine the "registration towns" listed in vital records and other
documents we find 1,086 other places in Ukraine, Poland, Belarus, etc.,
places our ancestors originated. All of these registration towns and
places of origin are listed in the Concordance with each person's entry.

Many thanks to Ellen Garshick for processing the translations and
preparing them for the Concordance, and to Adam Bronstein for making the
records searchable on our website using Steve Morse's One-Step search
system.

are acquiring, download our "Document Acquisitions and Status"

Dear JewishGenners,

I'm hoping to learn what an occupation means. I have found someone in
Vienna city directories >from 1902 to 1923, always listed simply as
"Agent." Google Translate tells me that means "agent" or "operative",
which isn't very descriptive. Can anyone tell me what kind of work an
"Agent" would do in Vienna in the early 20th century?

Thank you very much in advance for your assistance.

I'm pleased to announce that the Kremenets District Research Group
(KDRG) has translated the following vital records >from Pochayev and
Rokhmanov and Radzivilov Yizkor Book pages.

We have completed translations of the following records:

Pochayev Births, 1882-1883, 1885-1892, 1894
Rokhmanov Births, 1878-1883. 1885-1891, 1904, 1908-1912
Rokhmanov Marriages, 1882-1896, 1898, 1900-1907, 1910, 1913, 1915
Rokhmanov Divorces, 1878-1914 (Note: There were no divorces
recorded during this period.)
Rokhmanov Deaths, 1878-1883. 1885-1891, 1904, 1908-1912
Radzivilov Yizkor Book, 156 pages; completed the Yiddish section

The Pochayev birth records are indexed in the updated KDRG Concordance
(master name and place index). The Rokhmanov records soon will be
included. All the new records are in our master birth, marriage and
death and divorce spreadsheets on our KDRG Contributors website on
Google (see below).

Ellen Garshick coordinated the Radzivilov Yizkor Book Translation
Project. Marilyn Urwitz and her devoted family have contributed
thousands of dollars for paying a half dozen translators over the past 5
years. Translating this Yizkor Book has been a massive and complicated
project. To date we have translated 381 pages (109 chapters), including
the entire Yiddish section and all but 62 pages (12 chapters) of the
Hebrew section. The remaining pages are in progress. To see the
translated text, go to
http://www.jewishgen.org/Yizkor/Radzivilov/Radzivilov.html

Many thanks to Ellen, Marilyn and her family, and JewishGen's Lance
Ackerfeld for seeing this project through.

I am trying to locate the grave of my great grandfather's brother.
He resided in London and died in 1944, age 77. His death index
states his registration district is Essex South Western and his
Inferred County is Essex.

Hi Tina

Do you know which synagogue they belonged to? That information will at
least narrow down the list. The registration districts you mention are
where the deaths were registered so maybe the places you mentioned are
not necessarily where they lived but where they died - hospital or
care home, for example.

I looked at the UK database on JewishGen and there are several London
burials for Pactors, though not the name you are looking for. Are these
your relatives? The London burials were at Edmonton, which is a
cemetery belonging to the Federation of Synagogues. They have an online
searchable list:

http://www.jewishgen.org/jcr-uk/Cemeteries/Federation/Edmonton/index.htm
[or http://tinyurl.com/hfxe6zd -MODERATOR]

The other possibility is that they were burried in a United Synagogue
cemetery. Again, there is a searchable index but you have to choose a
cemetery first.

http://www.theus.org.uk/gravesearch

Don't bother with Aldershot or Dover as they are not near London or
Essex.

But I think its important to find out where other family members are
buried. That may - or may not - help you.

I'm pleased to announce that the Kremenets District Research Group
(KDRG) has acquired about 1,300 page images of the following censuses,
tax lists, and vital records through our cooperative agreement with the
Central Archives for the History of the Jewish People.

* Kremenets district towns, 1922 Census, about 1,855 entries
* Kremenets town, 1894 Tax List, about 460 entries
* Kremenets town, 1906 Tax List, about 651 entries

Although the full translation spreadsheets will not be available to the
general public until they are proofread and edited, we will send up to
10 translated records at no charge to any researcher who identifies
entries of interest in our Concordance. Please contact me
(rddpdx@gmail.com) if you need information about how to obtain these
records or how to access the KDRG Contributors website.

Dear Genners,

I'd like to say thank you to everyone who helped me find my great great
uncle's grave. His grave and that of his wife have been located!

They are buried at the Streatham Jewish Cemetery. I plan to visit the
cemetery when I am in London. Before I travel there I'd like to find out
if there is an office onsite or a caretaker who would be able to direct me
to the exact location of the graves. I have a phone number that was sent
to me: +07946 809 334 (mobile number)

Could someone possibly call and find out if there is an office and where
exactly is the entrance to the Jewish cemetery (which is part of a larger
cemetery? The following is the plot information for my ancestors:

Sarah Pactor 06-Mar-1932 StreathamSection E515
Solomon Pactor 29-Feb-1944 StreathamSection F2629


Thanks in advance for any assistance you can provide.

To all:

I was excited to see records that have recently been posted from
Narajow, my paternal grandmother's (Rose Kuhn Schildkraut)
hometown. (Kuhn: Kuehn, Keehn).

My grandmother was born in 1897 and was a daughter of Getzel Kuhn
and his second wife, Sarah Spiegel. (The first wife, Frimat, had died of
tuberculosis at age 26, after bearing several children.) I located my
great grandparents' marriage registration. It is dated March 1924,
when Getzel and Sarah were in their 50s and 60s and long after they
had had their children.

I have been told that Getzel was very pious and my belief is he was
certainly married, but probably in a Jewish ceremony, only, until
1924.

My question:

Were Jewish weddings considered illegal, illegitimate, unrecognized?
Were Jews prohibited >from registering these ceremonies? Were Jews
prohibited >from the civil ceremonies that would have legitimized their
unions and their children? Was this legitimization finally permitted?

Thank you.

Please reply to my private email: LindaSchildkraut@gmail.com.

Sincerely,

Linda Schildkraut

marriages in Galicia. To read them, search the JewishGen SIG
Archives http://data.jewishgen.org/wconnect/wc.dll?jg~jgsys~sigspop
for some of these terms: civil marriage - mother's maiden name -
registered - illegitimate. For example, Mark Halpern wrote in October
2003: "More likely than not, if a civil marriage was registered, it was
after the birth of some of the children. Why? Because the Austrian
government regulated and taxed civil marriages. Our ancestors
therefore ignored the regulations and married in a religious ceremony,
which was not then recognized by the Government. All subsequent
births were then considered illegitimate by the State. When parents or
children had a legal reason to legitimize the marriage or birth, then you
find a civil marriage registered and the birth record amended to show
that the birth was legitimized. The reasons were many but emigration
and inheritance were two of the reasons."

I realize this is a long shot, but in an effort to leave no stone
unturned:

My grandfather told me he had an uncle "Shima" KARDONSKY who "went to
Argentina". The KARDONSKYs originated in Old Konstantin/Starokostjantyniv in
western Ukraine. "Shima" may have been born anywhere >from c.1860-1885.

The closest I have managed to find is a Shimon KARDONSKY who landed in
Panama. There is also a Schloime whose family went to Sao Paulo, Brazil.
Whether either of these is a serious candidate depends on whether Grandpa used
"Argentina" literally or to indicate that "Shima" went somewhere in Latin
America.

"Shima" is one of two remaining great uncles (out of ten such aunts and
uncles) that I have been unable to find and I would appreciate any assistance
in locating him.
