Re: tracing relatives that moved to Israel in 1960 -- THANK YOU #romania #israel

John Hoenig
 

Hi all,


JewishGenners are terrific! I posted a message saying I was excited to learn that some Romanian Honig relatives had moved to Israel around 1962 and almost immediately started receiving messages about my family. I learned that David Honig had a wife, son, and two grandchildren, and also that he had two sibilings in Israel who also had children. I even got a photo of one of my relatives.


Thank you so much to all who responded.


Hoping you are all well and that you stay safe.

This is a 1940 death record of my grandfather, Mendel Konigsberg,  registered in Lipcsemezo.  Can someone read the cause of death, located in the last column?

The 1918 death certificate of a relative in Cincinnati called it "la grippe".  Her doctor was related to her.

The death certificates of my maternal grandmother and my paternal grandfather said death from pneumonia due to the flu.  Remember, there were no antibiotics in 1918.

Searching for PHILIPS family possibly from Suvalk (Suwalki) Area

Susan Beecher <s_beecher@...>
 

For a friend, I am searching for her grandmother's maternal ancestors who came to New York City in the late 1800s. Abraham Philips, born about 1844, married to Diana Solons (Solonosky?) and immigrated to the US in 1910.  Their daughter, Fannie Phillps (born 1864 in Russia - 1932) was married (?) to "Zelki" (this is from a memory) Sackheim (? see my note below about his daughter) who died in Russia. They had a daughter, Lena (born 4/24/1888).  Fannie then married Bernard Kurland (1867 -1954)  in Russia and they immigrated to the US in 1892, leaving Lena behind. Fannie and Bernard are listed as Feige and Beril Kurland in the ship's manifest coming to the US.
Lena came to the US in 1903 per the 1910 US Census where she is living with Morris and Sarah Philips and she is described as a niece. (Lena is my friend's grandmother and she knew that she lived with Morris and Sarah Philips when she arrived in the US. My friend had not known that this was her grandmother's maiden name until I found this in the Census. However, I am unable to find anyone with that name coming to the US in 1903. I am wondering if that is not the correct name or if it was spelled very differently previously. I am unable to find the connection between Morris Philips and Fannie Philips. Morris had a brother, Irving Philips who said on his naturalization petition that he was born in Suvalk, Russia.  So to get to the point, I would very much like to find the Philips family in Russia/Poland.  I have searched diligently in Ancestry and in JewishGen with no luck.  I am wondering if Philips is an Americanization of the family's real name. Thanks for any help or advice.

We were surprised to find a daughter named after a mother on our family tree, but then we learned that the mother died in childbirth so the baby was given the mother’s name.

#earlyamerican Although the full text of this book is available online, and free, through the American Jewish Archives, I'm interested in obtaining a hard copy for my personal library as I embark upon a new project with the DAR to identify Jewish patriots of the American Revolution.

If you would like to pass along your copy to a good home, I would happily pay for shipping. Reasonable $ offers will also be considered.

Thank you.

A message from Gesher Galicia

Steven Turner
 

Dear Gesher Galicia Members,

I hope all of you are healthy and being careful as we cope with the impact of COVID-19 on ourselves, our families, and our communities worldwide. Please take all necessary precautions.

On behalf of the Board of Directors of Gesher Galicia, I want to reassure you—the silver lining in these unprecedented times—that several of our activities continue. In the next few days, you will receive electronically the March issue of the Galitzianer, which we hope will provide you with interesting material to read. Let me assure you that our editorial team is already focused on delivering to you another exciting edition of the journal, scheduled for the release in June.

Our research teams also remain busy, despite the onsite work being interrupted in many archives in Austria, Poland, and Ukraine. Just before their closure, we received new records from Kraków (Jewish medical students from the Jagiellonian University) and Vienna (Jewish signatories of the 1848 petitions to the Reichstag). Our indexing work across a wide range of research projects continues as before, as does our Przemyśl Identification project. Newly indexed record sets continue to be uploaded to the All Galicia Database. We will communicate the outcomes of all these ongoing projects to you as they are finalized.

Unfortunately, we were forced to cancel a number of educational activities. We will let all of you know when we have new dates for these events, which always provide an opportunity to meet many of our members.

Your passion for Jewish genealogy and learning about Galicia, combined with your dedication to one another during this time of uncertainty, is deeply appreciated and reflects the very best of Gesher Galicia. Thank you.

Once again, please be careful and cautious. We will all get through this and come out stronger.

Sincerely yours,
Steven Turner,
President, Gesher Galicia
Re: Szmul vs Szlama #names

jbonline1111@...
 

My father's 1917 Manhattan birth record names him Louis, but starting when he was 3 years old, the census calls him Lawrence.  In my lifetime, he was always known as Larry, though he never formally changed his name. This suggests to me that someone else may have done the same thing. Dad didn't know why his mother used a different name, but we surmise he may have been a sickly child.

Re: 1918 Flu Death certificate -- cause of death #general

Cynthia Spikell
 

I cannot magnify the death certificate enough to see if there are numbers written by the cause of death. If you go to http://www.wolfbane.com/ you will see that there are codes going back more than a hundred years that doctors used to indicate exact cause of death. You must be careful to use the codes that were used for that year of death.

 

At the above website, go down to:

 

International Classification of Diseases [complete]

ICD decoder

 

to find out what the cause was. It is often much easier to read the number code than the doctor’s handwriting.

Etel & Yisroel KREISEL. In the last letter I found she was living with a daughter Henya in Kfar Saba (!961)

They are buried in the cemetary in Herzilia.

Have you solved this search?

If not,  do you know anything about the date of birth of Henya?  I cannot tell whether 1961 is date of living in K. Saba or her birth

What dates have you for the parents?

Have you contacted the cemetery?

Re: tracing relatives that moved to Israel in 1960 #romania

Hi John,
I was able to find the photo of David's grave in Haifa. Although his mother name is not inscribed, it is probably the person you are looking for. David's age at his death was 73, therefore born in 1900. The inscription says "Here lies my husband, my father, our brother and my dear grandfather". 
In an official publication from March 1974, Robert Honig is declared as David's legal heir. Robert Henig is an known actor in Israel. Here is  a translation of a short biographic note in Hebrew: "Robert Henig (born September 17, 1945 in Transylvania), an Israeli theater and film actor, born in Romania. Henig immigrated to Israel in the 1960s and lived in Haifa with his parents. Married and father of two daughters. He graduated in 1971 at the Beit Zvi Theater School and played in many shows and films."
