Re: Hashtag

Marvin Lauwasser
 

I'm a 74 year old with 3 decades of PC usage but never fully got into the social media thing (maybe a toe but not both feet).  I too don't know how best to deploy a hashtag.  It's seems quite searchable and I found this site on the general usage.
https://blog.hootsuite.com/how-to-use-hashtags/
I wonder though if usage on the JewishGen Discussion Group has specific idiosyncrasies. 
I'm a novice in posting items so I'm not sure if this is going only to Shelley or the entire world of JG.
If the latter, maybe some experienced hashtagger could OK the searched article and indicate how it'd work here.

thanks

I agree.  I don’t know what a hashtag is or how to use and why this appears to be necessary.

Because of a new computer I have missed several days of mail from JewishGen.  I was so sorry to learn of the loss of Carol Skydell.  My husband Don and I spent many good hours with Carol working on various things to do with JewishGen way back.  She was a lovely woman and very important to JewishGen at the beginning.

Trying to locate informaton about the death of my 90-year-old cousin Herbert Norman NAGEL who lived in Fremont, California. He died between September 2019 and March 2020. I would be very grateful for information (?newspaper obituary, ?other source) from anyone who lives in Fremont. I have contacted a couple of local cemeteries but they could not find any record. Please send any messages to me privately, and not to the group.

I didn't know Carol Skydell very well but visited her at her home in California many years ago when I discovered that she was related to my husband's first cousin's husband through the Wagner- Feldherr family.

Oh my, Carol was the first person with whom I worked closely when I started doing volunteer work for JewishGen all those decades ago. According to my archives, my first email from Carol was in June of 1999, when she asked me to develop something that now seems to be called the Wall of Honor -- which, I notice, dates back to September 1999. She was ALWAYS an absolute pleasure to work with, and she was always the first person to whom I'd turn to grouse about problems I might be having dealing with other people. She was unrelentingly cheerful, professional, and helpful. I haven't exchanged notes with her for some time, but now that she's gone I miss her just the same.

Subject: [JewishGen.org] Fancy Jewish Wedding in NYC circa 1932

I writing a Jewish-themed novel and one of the families depicted in
the book are extremely wealthy German-Jewish bankers living in NYC in
the first decades of the last century -- think the families Stephen
Birmingham wrote about in "Our Crowd" -- Loeb, Lehman, Guggenheim,
etc. The daughter of this family has a big splashy wedding in 1932 --
after the crash (that crash). Where would the wedding likely take
place -- I'm thinking big hotel, but if so which? Or would a private
town house or estate be more likely? Thanks and safe healthy!

Can I assume ROSENBLUMs buried in Brisker cemetery section came from Brest?

Judy Kaufman
 

I am having a terrible time finding out where my great grandparents Jacob Rosenblum and Anna Friedman come from.  Their names are just too common - I find multiple people with those names and around their birth dates on ship logs, in JewishGen data bases, etc.  And in censuses, marriage certificates, etc. they just say they're from "Russia." 

According to findagrave, they are both buried in the "Brisker plot" of Mount Zion Cemetery in Maspeth, Queens.  (I know that Brisker is another name for the town of Brest, now in Belarus.)  Does this mean that at least one of them comes from the Brest area?

For those interested, some more details about my quest:

Jacob's sister is Annie Rosenblum (living with him in 1900 census) and she is equally difficult to track - I have found an Anna Rosenbloom of the right age married to a man Israel Pistchalsky/Pistchalsk/Pistchal from Kubrin, which is about 29 miles from Brest...  And her mother's given name on her death certificate is the given name (Jennie) of my grandmother (Annie's niece) so I'm tempted to declare that she is the right Anna Rosenblum, sister of Jacob, and that would be another connection to the Brest area, but I would like more evidence.

 I can't find a marriage certificate for Jacob Rosenblum and Anna Friedman, and he died in NJ during the period when NJ death certificates are not available so I can't get his parents' names.

Anna Friedman's parents from her death certificate are Solomon Friedman and Sarah Cohen - again, way too common to help much with research...

Re: Need help to find LDS film digital record from JGS Ukr database hyperlink #ukraine

Alan Shuchat
 

Susana and anyone else who would like to know how to do this kind of search:

On JewishGen, the film/item number is given as 2423962/7. Clicking on the link 2423962 opens a page with 977 images,
https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3Q9M-CS9L-BSLK-C

It is divided into items, separated by black squares. Scroll through until you find the black square that begins item 7. It's image 796. It says in Russian that it's for the city of Nikolaev (Г. Николаев), in Nikolaev Oblast (district, Область), for the year 1895. It also gives the numbers 1484/1/1480 that identify the record book in the archive. 

Next, F266 means female birth #266 in item 7. The columns at the left of the record pages are labeled Мужскаго for males and Женскаго for females. So you need to scroll through the images in item 7 until you find 266 in the Женскаго column. This record is included in image 921 and it is on page 62 of the record book. The direct link to the page is
https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3Q9M-CS9L-BSPX-Q?i=920

The record is in Russian and Hebrew, since the Jewish records were created at the crown rabbinate in Nikolaev. It's interesting that in Russian the newborn is named Sosya (Сося) but in Hebrew she is Sosa (סאסא).  

Incidentally, 2423962 is the number of the microfilm, but when you open the image file it says film # 007807321. This is the number for the digital image (DGS) of the physical microfilm. The catalog at FamilySearch.org lists both numbers.

Re: CONVOY 68 OF FEBRUARY 10th 1944 FROM DRANCY TO AUSCHWITZ #france #holocaust

Corinna Woehrl
 

Dear Evelyne and list-readers,

yes, in my family, too, I found a member who perished arriving in Auschwitz with transport 68 from Drancy. I am desperately looking for more information on her life.

Dina GOSLAR was my Great-Aunt, of whom in my fathers' generation the knowledge was completely lost: She was one of 8 children of Pinnicus Bernhard GOSLAR and Friedchen WURZBURG. In the database, a birthname Hecht is mentioned, yet I haven't found any clues for a marriage. This is the information I have on her life:

- Dina visited the "Ernestinenschule" in Luebeck from easter 1890 to Easter 1897
- from 10.1902 to 10.1903 she worked in (Bad) Ems as an assistant housekeeper in the Jewish Orphanage
- in 1911 she moved to Hamburg to be a student nurse at the University Hospital
- in 1915 she moved to Berlin - in the directories she can later be found as "Oberschwester" (Head-nurse)
- several visits to Luebeck, mostly in times of illness/death of family-members
- she left Germany via Hamburg with Ilse Kotzulla and lived in Beaufort en Vallee

(Her sister Jenny, married to Maurice Dazy lived in Paris around 1912, and later moved to Nantes where she died in1967)

Even the tiniest clue is appreciated!
Regards from Germany

This week's Yizkor book excerpt on the JewishGen Facebook page #yizkorbooks

Bruce Drake
 

There are two threads that run through “My Home Town, Kalvarija” from the Yizkor book of that town in Lithuania: an account of the reasons that so many people started to emigrate elsewhere and how memories of the shtetl led to so much longing for what had been and was no more.

Israel Matz was born in Kalvaria in 1869. After emigrating to America in 1890, by which time many Kalvarier Jews already had deep roots in New York and elsewhere in America. He became an accountant, then entered the pharmaceutical business and founded the Ex-Lax Company in 1906. He was a dedicated Zionist throughout his years and worked to keep Hebrew as a living language, and just a language devoted to rituals and prayers.

Unlike others who disembarked upon the day of his arrival, there were no family or friends there to meet him, but others “began to console, encourage and express sympathy for me. After all, Jews are merciful and sons of the merciful!” As a prelude to recounting his memories of his home town, he recalls: “When they asked me, “Where are you from?” and I answered, ‘From Kalvarija,’ the sympathy changed into a sort of expression of envy. If this was so, they said, you are already taken care of—Kalvarier Jews here are all well off.
I think you will enjoy reading his descriptions of life in Kalvaria — both the joys and the hardships.

Mendel Gottesman Mother #hungary

E Feinstein
 

I am researching the Kohen GOTTESMAN family of Munkacs, Hungary.  One of the sons was the famous philanthropist Mendel GOTTESMAN.  The library at Yeshiva University is named after him and he founded the paper company Central National Gottesman.  It is said that his mother Chaya Rivka (Helen) remarried a SPIEGEL--a member of the German Jewish department store family (Joseph SPIEGEL) and moved to Chicago. We do not know her maiden name yet.  Did she pass away there on February 11, 1886?  I wanted to know if there were any Chicagoland experts out there who could assist in finding either an obituary or death record.  Please let me know.
Thank you in advance.
