Re: Searching for Argentina Jewish records #germany #holocaust

One can find a lot of WOLF arriving to Argentina in CEMLA (https://cemla.com/) Argentina Immigrants Database.
Another option is to search on MyHeritage (https://www.myheritage.com/research) using the advance form, with as many details as you know.

Other names for Isaac #germany #names

A family photo of a soldier in a WWI Austrian army uniform is labeled "George Bloomfield." A newspaper article from 1915/16 says that this "George," the second cousin of a member of our family, was killed on the western front. I know that his family name was Blumenfeld, which almost all of those who emigrated changed to Bloomfield. But in all of the birth records for their home village of Momberg in Hessen I find no "Georg." There is also no "Georg" listed in the Verlustlisten for WWI. The Blumenfelds we are related to that fell in the war were Isaac and Moritz -- second cousins. Comparing photos of Isaac and "George" it appears they could be the same person. Has "Georg" been used in other situations as a "translation" of the name "Isaac?"

We understand now that program isn't available anymore [SIC] and so are

incredible work as part of Family Tree of the Jewish People, where
we may find connections beyond our great grandparents on my side who
came from Europe. My husband's family came through the Shoah with
many losses, but we have been interested in finding connections
predating that time as well.

Any suggestions would be incredibly helpful and also ways to outline
our next steps.

Re: Did a refugee doctor have to study a medical textbook he had written?

Ron Hoenig
 

The same thing happened to Jewish doctors who were refugees in Australia - and actually continues today. There is a persistent urban myth? that one doctor who was undertaking this retraining found himself studying a medical text that he, himself had written. Does anyone have any evidence of this?

As Fred says FTM is still available. The URL is   https://www.mackiev.com/ftm/The edition is now 2019.  It has a lot of useful features especially connecting with an online Tree in Ancestry. This means that any changes you make to the Tree whether in FTM on your computer or online at Ancestry you can sync them. It also includes useful Cloud programme called the Vault which synchs with an app on your phone so your tree is always with you.  The support is via Chat online and very helpful.  Another useful feature is colour codes for  your different family lines.Myhistorian is an excellent programme especially for charting and has hints that connect with Findmypast.

I have been in touch with Paulo and sent him many references to his great-uncle, who was a rabbi in Portland, Oregon.  One of my friends, a multi-generational Portlander, also joined in the fun looking.  He now has articles, pictures and more.  I love to see that we each approach a research question differently yet all find valid information.

How much did a shojet (ritual slaughterer) earn in Galitzia in 1900 ? #galicia

Alberto Guido Chester
 

My grandfather, his father and his grandfather were shojets in Rogatyn, Galitzia from about 1850 to 1928.
 
Their only abundance was poverty, family lore says.
 
How did a shochet earn a living? As an employee of the kahal ? Sometimes acting as a mohel also?
 
How did other religious personnel earn their living?
 
I am looking for any kind of information, either novels or memories or scholarly works about the socio economic oranziation of Polish shtetls.

Subject: (Canada) Ancestry.ca Canada Marks VE DAY With Free Canadian Military Records and All Content on Newspapers.com

 

 

Ancestry.ca--  Canada-- is marking the 75th anniversary of VE Day with free access to 10 million Canadian, military records on the site.  From Monday May 4 to Friday May 8. May 8 marks the 75th anniversary of Victory in Europe Day and the Liberation of the Netherlands.  https://www.ancestry.ca/search/categories/ca_military/

 

In addition, Canadians will be able to access for free all content on the online newspaper archive Newspapears.com (https://www.newspapers.com/) as well as all records on Fold3 site (https://www.fold3.com/).

 

I do not know if this free offering will be extended worldwide or is only for Canadians.  I checked several of the other Ancestry sites but did not see any mention of a similar offering, but then it does not begin until Monday May 4.

 

I am presuming one would have to register with name, email address and password as that is how Ancestry has run free offers in the past. Since the offer is not yet activated I was not able to try it out first to find out.

 

If you try to access the records either before the offer begins or after it ends you will be invited to subscribe.

 

Thank you to Gail Dever and her Genealogy à la carte blog for informing us about this opportunity.

Dear Genners

I have posted two related documents on View mate.(PERELMUTTER-MEISELS-SCHORR)
One is a death act and the other a marriage act.
Some persons are mentioned in both, thus I believe a joint approach will make them easier to decipher.

I have special interest in the names and towns of origin of her parents. If there is a profession mentioned, I will appreciate tant also.

These are the links

Hello Paulo,

I was able to find the family on more censuses, which were badly
indexed on Ancestry. (Look for Robert Abrahamham in 1900 and Robert
Abraham in 1910.)

Here's what I learned:

Robert ABRAHAMSON b: 6 Dec 1853 d: 21 Jul 1922 Portland OR
+ Annie EPSTEYN b: c1863 Michigan m: 1887 d: _____ ?

...... Nissim ABRAHAMSON b: 1 Jun 1889 Portland OR d: 6 Jan 1962 Winatchee WA
...... + Myrtle DONAHUE

(See the Hoyt Family Tree on Ancestry for Nissim's descendants.)

...... Edith ABRAHAMSON b: 22 Jul 1892 Portland OR d: 24 Jan 1978 WA
...... + Maier KASPER

........... Frances Margaret KASPER b: 1923 d: 2014
........... + Sidney WEINER

(See the Weiner Family Tree on Ancestry for more information about this family.)

...... Pearl Rose ABRAHAMSON b: c1894 Oregon d: 23 Dec 1935 Auburn WA

...... Morton A. ABRAHAMSON b: c1900 Oregon d: 14 Sep 1913

Memorials for Robert, Nissim, Pearl and Morton are on FindaGrave. Note
that Robert was a rabbi.

I'm sure there's much more to be discovered. Good luck!

Since then we know almost nothing about him and about his offspring. A search on the Federal Census of 1920 gave the following: Robert Abrahamson, wife Anna, daughter Pearl. Any information would make me very happy. I thank you in advance.

Dear Amy of Silver Spring,
I am responding to your post in which you asked “We have compiled a great deal of data and now are looking at ways to set up the data into a family tree format.  We had used Family Tree Maker when we did the previous work c. 2003-2004. We … are looking at some new vehicles.  We are also trying to connect to your incredible work as part of Family Tree of the Jewish People, where we may find connections beyond our great grandparents on my side who came from Europe.”
I imagine that many responders will suggest popular programs like Legacy, Rootsmagic, Family Historian and so on.  They are all very good and have many keen advocates.
I switched from Family Tree Maker to Family Historian (FH) many years ago.  However …  after a year or two, I decided that what was most important to me was how I wish to PRESENT my information to those interested and at this point I started using TNG (The Next Generation). 
Some TNG users, like myself, use TNG as their sole software.  Others use two sets of software – something like FH or Legacy or RootsMagic “at home” and then up load to TNG for their website.  Personally, one set of software is quite enough for me. 
My site is here – www.zausmerforest.com – as you can see, I choose to keep it locked down.  (The reason being that it contains a fair amount of sensitive family info).  Many users share their sites happily and the TNG software allows for many different “templates” or appearances/looks based on the same data.  Take a look here for a wealth of examples –
http://www.lythgoes.net/genealogy/usersites.php
--- there you will see examples of family trees --
https://bisbeefamily.com/
http://x.liebowitzes.com/genealogy/index.php
--- one name studies --
https://www.howesfamilies.com/
--- or sites that may be more similar to what you are trying to set up?

Hello,
I’m trying to find my mother’s cousin, Walter WOLFF, born 29 March 1910 in Thorn, West Prussia.  His parents were Louis WOLFF and Paula WEIL WOLFF.  He lived in Berlin before World War II.
On Ancestry, I found a Walter WOLFF from Berlin, born around 1910, who left Hamburg for Argentina on 24 Dec. 1932. 
On JewishGen, there was an Argentinian death record for a Walter WOLFF born around 1911, who died in La Plata, Argentina on 26 Dec. 1964.
I wrote for more information to  reunir@... 
with no response.    I also tried writing to the Argentinian Jewish community through  https://www.amia.org.ar/
but kept getting error messages.
Do any of you know whom to contact to find Argentinian Jewish records?
Thaks for your help.
