I'm not sure if I'm reading the correct line 17, but here's what I see: Broome St., just above the name Mathes, and below that it looks like "Jerry St" but there is no such street by that name in Manhattan (NYC) so it could be Henry or Cherry Street, both of which exist on the Lower East Side and were Jewish neighborhoods.

Re: Great grandfather not from northern Lithuania? #lithuania

I'm not 100% sure if this would apply to estates but families were often registered in one town for generations after they moved somewhere else, due to the difficulty and complexity of changing the family's registration. I have several examples in my tree, one being my SLEVICH family that lived in Komay/Kamajai until the 1860s or so, then lived in Daugavpils/Dvinsk for about 30 years, and then moved to Vilnius where they lived until around WWI. Most, if not all, of the records I've found in both Daugavpils and Vilnius list the person as being from Komay, even if they were born in Daugavpils and had never personally lived in Komay.

BAUMAN from Kutno district #poland

I'm new to this forum and this is my first post so I hope I'm doing it right!

I'm trying to trace the roots of my paternal grandfather, who was known as Lewis BOWMAN when he moved to London, probably in the first decade of the 20th century (he married my grandmother, Rebecca WEINSTEIN in London in 1910 so he must have arrived in England before then). The only document I have for him with any information about his family is his UK naturalisation certificate. It gives his date of birth as 10 March 1877, his birthplace as "Kutno, Warsaw, Poland, Russia" and his parents' names as Joseph and Eva. According to my father, the family name was BAUMAN. The only other written evidence I have in my possession of this being the family name is a photo of four young people, probably taken around 1930 with the names Jozef, Sabrina, Bela and Henryk BAUMAN written on the back and apparently taken in Warsaw. I don't know who these people are.

I have searched extensively in JewishGen and JRI-Poland with name alternatives for Lewis, Joseph and Eva and found nothing, even expanding the search to the whole of Poland. I've also searched for the four in the photo and again, nothing. I am trying to get hold of my grandfather's death certificate in the hope it might lead to a gravestone with his and his father's Hebrew names, which might give me another clue. But other than that possibility (impossible at the moment because of coronavirus lockdown), I've met that famous brick wall.

If any of this sounds familiar to anyone or if anyone can give me guidance on where else I can look, I would be most grateful if you could let me know.

Many thanks.

It was very common for Jewish couples to have only a religious marriage. If they needed to have a civil ceremony for some practical reason, they might do it years or decades later. Of course, one can only speculate what happened here.

BTW, none of the volumes of Divrei Chaim mention the author having a middle name "Yoel." That is likely an error.

Re: Great grandfather not from northern Lithuania? #lithuania

Jews were commonly asked to look after the estates of landed families, or were employed by them in certain occupations. In my ancestral area of Suwalki Lomza gubernias in NE Poland (part of which went into Lithuania in 1919) the two big land owners were the Pacs and the Radziwills in the 19th century (same family as Lee Radziwill, sister of Jackie Kennedy). These landowners on occasion would send families to their other (often undeveloped) estates in other areas, some quite far away. In the late 19th century when my ancestors were emigrating to all points west, and across the world,  others from the Baltic countries were sent within the Pale of Settlement south to Ukraine to develop estates/land there.

From the photo collection of Miriam Magilner.  One of several, some dating back to the 1030's, but I'm submitting this one to get an idea of what I have.  This is the back of a photo card of a couple holding a child.  Does the message have any indication of who the family is?  Does the stamp/marking on the card indicate origin?

Please respond via the form provided on the ViewMate image page.
Thank you very much.

Surnames and patronymics in Germany #germany #names

Peter Lobbenberg
 

The following is taken from an 1872 death record from Mainz:
 
Heute den zweiten Januar ein tausend acht hundert sieben und zwanzig [...] erschien vor mir [...] Gottlieb Mann, Wiederverkäufer, acht und sechzig Jahre alt und Jakob Collin, Handelsmann, sieben und zwanzig Jahre alt, dahier wohnhaft und zeigten an, daß Moises Pfann, Wiederverkäufer, sechs und fünfzig Jahre alt, geboren und wohnhaft in Mainz, Ehemann von Maria Rothschild, ehelicher Sohn des verstorbenen Samuel Gottlieb und Sarah, heute Morgens um halb sechs Uhr, in dem Hause D. 70 gestorben ist.  [...] 

Today 2 January 1827 [...] there appeared before me [...] Gottlieb Mann, retailer, aged 68 and Jakob Collin, merchant, aged 27, and declared that Moises Pfann, retailer, aged 56, born and living in Mainz, husband of Maria Rothschild, legitimate son of the late Samuel Gottlieb and Sarah, died this morning at 6.30am in house D.70.

My question is this.  Can it reasonably be inferred from the above (a) that Gottlieb, the "surname" of Moises's father Samuel, was in fact a patronymic, in other words that Gottlieb was the name of Moises' grandfather?

Translation or Summary Request - German and Hungarian #germany #hungary #translation

jzeisler@...
 

I have attached a 2-page handwritten document that I would appreciate if someone would either summarize or translate. It's an agreement written in Budapest that includes both Hungarian and German from 1895. The contract is from Zsigmond Palugyay who is the husband of Emilia Löwy. It is written to Emilia's first cousin, Hugó Weiner, and Hugó's nephew, Geza Löwy. I'd like to understand what it is about.  

Thank you!
