Thank you Sarah. I'm a member of some of these sites. You are right they can be very helpful.  I find myself doubling up as I'm exploring both the RC and Jewish routes for information.

Do you keep passports?

Do you keep old passports that you find of family members? I've come across one that doesn't have a lot of stamps- a couple to Tel Aviv and one to Frankfurt. It was used later on in the life. I'm sure he had many more passports prior to this one.

Just curious what others do.

Re: thoughts - opinions

There are good reasons on both sides. If the listing
is difficult, do not list on trees.

I have a husband/father who divorced and the former wife (my relative) and
children do have contact with the father. The mother remarried and
the children were adopted by the husband.

I was showing the biological family, but since I found out how
difficult it was to this branch, I made the father "unlinked" and put a
complete explanation in his notes, but no connection to the family.
In this way he never shows up in anything published.

The reason to keep him, is that - he is the biological father and
if there is ever a reason to find their ancestors, the information
and even copies of documents are in my records.

Hello, you posted about the new system, you were responding to a previous post but I have no idea what the thread is or the original post. I went back a few days and couldn’t find it in recent  posts, I would like to know the subject and primary sender. I find this new system lacking miserably in this regard.
Thanks so much, Louise Hajdenberg

Re: Lodz Jewish voter list 1924

Russ Maurer
 

So sorry you've had this trouble. I tested the link before posting it and it seemed to work fine, but like you, I now get an error message. Instead, do one of the following:
 
1. Go to szukajwarchiwach.gov.pl and in the search bar type (or cut and paste)    
 
lista wyborców gminy wyznaniowej

 
This is enough of the file title that you will get just the Lodz voter list (which - my mistake - is 24 files, not 30). Note that the decoration on the "o" in wyborców is required.
 
2. Or, click on advanced search and in the space for the reference code type 39/228/0/-/xxx where xxx is any number from 499 to 522. This will get you the files one at a time.

ViewMate: Can you identify anyone in this photo: Friends & family reunion in Bad Ems in the mid-1920s

Joyaa Antares
 

Dear Fellow Researchers,

 

I have posted a photo of a mid-1920s friends/family reunion to ViewMate.    It shows 24 people.  

http://www.jewishgen.org/viewmate/viewmateview.asp?key=VM76636  

 

The photo was taken at the Hotel Staatl Kurhaus in Bad Ems, Germany but the identified family came from BERLIN (1870s), and prior to this from Scherwin and "Friedeberg".

 

The photo shows Aron LEVY, Louise (nee BADER) LEVY and their grandson, Eddie LEVY.   Aron and Louise moved from BERLIN to London, England in the 1880s.  I expect that many or all of the 21 unidentified people were based in Germany.   Aron was a Tailor or Hatter, so people from this profession may appear.   Young Eddie was a teenager so his profession isn't relevant, but if this is more of a family photo, then it will help to know that his mother's maiden name was SKOTZKI, and his maternal grandmother's maiden name was BANSEMER.

 

Do you recognise anyone?

Thank you very much.

February 5: genealogy program at the Center for Jewish History in New York #galicia

Moriah Amit
 

Family History Today: Jewish Students, Medical Globetrotters, and Persevering Women  

 

Date and time: Wednesday, February 5, 6:30 PM
Location: Center for Jewish History, 15 West 16th St., New York, NY 10011

At first, aspiring Jewish men from Galicia, Lithuania, and elsewhere ventured to Padua University to study medicine when other schools across Europe refused their admission. Then, from the end of the eighteenth century onward, Jews from Galicia attended Habsburg universities—from Lemberg/Lwów and Kraków, to Vienna, Pest and Prague. Many nineteenth-century Jewish medics influenced Galician life beyond their profession, advocating educational, religious and civic reforms. At the turn of the twentieth century, Jewish women were at the forefront of newly won access to university education, changing societal and family norms.

 

This presentation will take us across the countries and continents, with genealogical information illustrated by unique archival records, newspaper accounts, and maps. You don’t have to have medical practitioners among your ancestors to find this topic interesting and helpful in your family history research.

 

About the Speaker: Andrew Zalewski is a former professor of medicine at Thomas Jefferson University in Philadelphia. He is the vice president of Gesher Galicia, a non-profit organization devoted to genealogical and historical research on Galicia. Andrew Zalewski has also authored two books on Austrian Galicia: Galician Trails: The Forgotten Story of One Family and Galician Portraits: In Search of Jewish Roots.


Tickets: zalewski.bpt.me or 800-838-3006 ($10 general admission; $5 Center for Jewish History/Partner members, seniors, and students)

This program is sponsored by the Ackman & Ziff Family Genealogy Institute and Gesher Galicia. It is supported, in part, by public funds from the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs in partnership with the City Council.

Going into b144 lists families Shlezinger  of both names and not too many . It would mean ringing round to enquire if related
