Re: Scheuer/Dublon descendants #germany

Addressed primarily to the expansive Dublon clan >from Wittlich in the
Palatinate area.

I have an Isaac SCHEUER (21 April 1834 - ????) married to Elise Helen DUBLON
(20 April 1841 - ????) >from Wittlich. Can anyone supply information
regarding their offspring and more importantly any record as to whether (and
if so, when) they emigrated >from the Rhineland to North America? I can trace
this Isaac Scheuer's ancestors back three generations - residing in
Thalfang/Dhronecken, and Elias SCHEUER, the father of this Isaac, may have
been living in Konz when his son was born.

Translation from Hebrew please #warsaw #poland

Hello:

Can you read Hebrew? Then maybe you can help connect two
big branches of the Gelbfish/Gelbfisz family!

I have just posted on ViewMate - at JewishGen - three
pages of reminiscences (or maybe just family history) that
were written down (very neatly, in Hebrew) by Binyamin
(Bainish) Ben Menachem (family name changed >from
Gelbfish), born 1901 Warsaw, passed away 1994 or 1995 in
Haifa.

I've been told by his nephew that Bainish recalled meeting
- while a child in Warsaw - my grandfather (or maybe even
great-grandfather!) ... and that he knew the names of his
own ancestors back to the early 19th century - who
(according to Bainish's recollection) would also have been
my own ancestors.

So you can understand my anticipation at getting - if
someone is so kind - a word-for-word translation of the
document. (By the way, the document would also tell us
the names of the great- and gg-grandfather of my
great-uncle Schmuel Gelbfisz, who changed his name to Sam
Goldwyn and had some success in the movie business!)

The document appears as ViewMate files # VM5617, VM5618
and VM5619 ... or link directly here:

Conducting research in Ukraine/Poland/Russia #ukraine

aggiroux@...
 

I am a novice researcher. I do have names and towns of ancestors in
Ukraine/Russia/Poland >from 1800s to 1930s. Most perished at that point. I got
this information >from relatives who have since passed on and >from doing what I
could here in the U.S. with immigration naturalization and census and birth and
death records and Ellis Island records.

To conduct research for pre-immigration records in Europe What resources do I
use to trace them? Do I contact a researcher to conduct a search for me? Is
most of this online? Are the Mormon resources helpful?

I just need some helpful people to give me some direction. I feel that I might
have some sort of success as I have so much information.

Also, how do I locate cousins with unknown last name in Israel. We have lost
contact with them. Is there a databse or website?

Mystery town - Leton, Russia #lithuania

Jeff Miller
 

In an effort to confirm a connection between my grandfather and someone I
believe was one of his brothers,I sent away to Los Angeles county for
Yane YUDLEVITZ' death certificate.

As usual, one document answers some questions, and opens up new
possibilities.

It identifies his mother as Etta (my grandfather Avrum Yitzchak YUDELOWITZ'
mother was also Etta). It does not identify the father's given name
(unknown). My grandfather's father was Shmuel.

It identifies the birthplace of Yane and his parents as Leton, Russia. Using
WOWW, I checked all possible towns with the same D-M Soundex, and got two
from Latvia, but none >from Lithuania (all of my family records in Eastern
Europe are >from Ponevezh, currently called Panevezys).

The towns >from Latvia are Laudohn (Laudona), which is 93 km NNW of
Daugavpils at 56 degrees 42 min. lat./26 degrees 11 minutes long, and,
Lettin (Litene), which is 148 km NNE of Daugavpils at 57 degrees 11 min.
lat./27 degrees 02 minutes long.

I next used the ShtetlSeeker to look for possibles by proximity to Ponevezh.
I found a town Liudyne, 4.5 miles >from Ponevezh.
I then searched the Family Finder, Family Tree of the Jewish People, and
ALD, but see no connection (in fact, no records for the town at all).

I am looking for any suggestions.

Have You Had Any Luck With Researchers in Ukraine Archives? #ukraine

Barryzwick@...
 

I'm looking for a capable and trustworthy researcher for archives in Kiev
and, possibly, other cities where Jewish records for Volhynia (Wolin) are
stored. This is in preparation for a possible follow-up visit to my ancestral
villages later this year.

I've had wonderful results with a researcher in Minsk checking Belarussian
archives. His information, which included e-mailed Russian census documents,
took me back two generations on my father's side. Now I'd like to do the same
with my mother's ancestors. (I'll be happy to supply the name of my Minsk
researcher, who has no special access to Ukrainian records.)

Thanks so much in advance.

Barry Zwick in Los Angeles, seeking:

GERMAN in Kunev and Dubno, Volhynia, Ukraine,
MAKOFSKY in Tuczyn and Kunev, Volhynia, Ukraine,
ZWICK/TZVIK in Losha, Grozovo and Barkovtze, Belarus
HERSKOVITZ/HERSKOVICS in Satoraljaujhely and Miskolc, Hungary
SCHLANGER in Miskolc and Tab, Hungary
YEROLOSVKY in Losha, Grozovo and Barkovtze, Belarus

A guide to Jewish Lublin and Surroundings #poland

Tamar Amit <tamar.amit@...>
 

Hello,

I'm looking for a book that seems to be out of print.

The book is "A guide to Jewish Lublin and Surroundings" by Andrzej
Trzcinski.

I think that the ISBN is 83-904326-2-6. It was published by "The
Jewish Historical Institute, Poland" in 1996.

I contacted them but they no longer have it.

Does anyone know where I can find it ?

Thanks in advance,

HENDLER to NY via Boston- 1921 #poland

I've just run across a new family link.

In 1921, Leibka (age 71) and Fraida (age 67) HENDLER came to the US
via Boston with their daughters Sura Rywka (age 26) and Cywa (age 24).
They were >from Przasnysz and listed their uncle as Srul ZYLBERMAN who
was Fraida's brother (and was married to Basia KRYMKA). The manifest
said they were going to New York.

R’ Joseph Zeev MAMJOFFE was the last Rabbi of Mazeikiai until he was
murdered in August 1941 with all the Jewish community of Mazeikiai.

I have read that the meaning of the surname MAMJOFFE is M”M Joffe.
M’M means “Mimishpachat Mordechai “ – >from Mordechai’s family,
meaning >from Rabbi Mordechai Jaffe, author of “Baal Halevush”.

Can someone confirm it or is there another explanation.
