I would like to know the condition of the Jewish Cemetary in Motol and /or
Ivanovo (Yanov). Both are small shtetls in Belarus, west of Pinsk. Can you
suggest how I might obtain this information?

Thank you.

Re: Witnesses Can Be Very Important!! #general

Hi,

I can't claim a great an achievement as Helene's amazing story.
However, my paternal GF's petition for citizenship, US, in 1920 had as
his witnesses, 1) his brother-in-law, my GM's sister's husband, who is
known to the family 2) a Harry ASPIS. All my parent's knew about
Harry was that he was a good friend of my GF. I later found out,
through my GM's birth record that her mother's maiden name was ASPIS.=20
I haven't yet found a connection between Harry and my grandparents,
nor have I found any descendants of Harry, but I imagine that he was
related to my GM, somehow.

I ordered 13 records >from Busko-Zdroj, then Kielce Gubernia. On all
of the records that were not for my GM or her siblings, her father, my
GGF, was a witness. Apparantly, one of his jobs, as a town gabai, was
town witness. Other than pride in his job, which I only learned from
the records, I was able to track the age listed on all 13 records to
see that he aged chronologically with the records. I think that I can
safely assume that his age listed, and the year of birth calculated
from his age, is correct.

1902 New York City directory Make sense of this please #general

Nachum Tuchman
 

I think that the point of the 1985 fire notice was that it indicates
that the Eldridge street address was a residence, and so would seem to
indicate that the good doctor indeed did live there, even though way
back in 1902, notwithstanding the fact that it is listed first in the
directory and doesn't have an 'h' preceding.

Please excuse my run on sentence. English may be my first language,
but I learned in the States. (Our British friends will certainly
understand).

Dear Ilyaz,

Yes, it does look confusing. What might help would be to look at the
AMA (American Medical Association) annual directory for that year. I
can do this for you but it'll have to wait until after the Las Vegas

Hello,

researchs for documents about my late great-greatgrandfather the russian
railway-official Jakob Davidov KANTOROWITZ/KANTOROWICZ (b. 1835 in
Slonim/Belorus. d. 1903 in Warszawa or St. Petersburg), his wife
Henriette/Minne Mindel/Wilhemina Isaakovna KANTOROWITZ (b. 1842 in
Riga/Latvia, d. 1914 in St. Petersburg), nee KEILMANN and their three
childrens: Sophia Jakobovna KANTOROWITZ (b. 1863 in Vilnius, married ?
children? dies ?), Alexandr Jakobov KANTOROWITZ (b. 1866 in Vilnius, married
?, childrens ? dies ?) and my greatgrandmum Eugenie Jakobovna KEILMANN, nee
KANTOROWITZ (b. 1868 in Vilnius; 1886 married in Riga with the dentist
Isidor Philipov KEILMANN; killed in autum 1941, with her husband and other
relativs, into the Ghetto Riga/Latvia).
Now I want to know, if Jakob KANTOROWITZ as a railway official stood with
his family a time (ca. 1886-1898/1900 ?) in Warszawa ?
My late greatgrandmum Eugenie wrote in Riga into a notice 1936, that she
grows up in Charkov and went there to a privat school. Also, that her
parents lived in Warszawa in 1896.

If any people can help my with my researchs, please contact me.

Vicki Blum - Budapest VI #hungary

John J Kovacs <j.kovacs@...>
 

Vicki Blum is looking for Mrs. Bosch's relatives in
Budapest. Dr. Bosch Gyorgyne lived in the VI district
otherwise known as Terez Varos. The name of the
street that she gives does not exist. Suggest
rereading the letter for the street's correct name.
She probably should write to current resident in
Hungarian. As far as I know, city directories with
tenant's names only exist until 1929-1930.

HAJDU/ RYBICSKA - Szeged/Budapest #hungary

Lachaus
 

I am looking for any information on
Mor Ferenc HAJDU, born in Budapest in 1861 (son of Jakab HAUSER and Lotti
ROTH) and any children he may have had. He changed his name >from HAUSER to
HAJDU in 1898. Mor HAJDU worked as an engineer for MAV the Hungarian State
Railways in Szeged. He married Paula RYBICSKA.

Do the Hungarian Railways give information on their deceased staff?

Can anyone shed light on the origin of the RYBICSKA surname? It seems to be
unusual.

Many thanks in advance

cemetery statistics #hungary

Logan J. Kleinwaks
 

Can anyone supply or suggest where to find statistics about the state of
H-SIG area cemeteries and their documentation? I am especially interested
in quantified descriptions of:

1) the rate at which the cemeteries are being destroyed (by natural or other
means)

2) the rate at which inscriptions on the matzevot are becoming illegible

3) the extent of written or photographic documentation of the matzevot

If there are any standards by which cemeteries are considered endangered, I
would also be interested in knowing which H-SIG area cemeteries qualify.

Thank you very much and best regards,
