Re: A boy named Israel #names #general

The first child of my great great grandparents died at a year of age. Yet, 10 years later, a child with that name is travelling with them to NY. And no record of her after that. I suspect they were transporting a friend/cousin's child.

Need help translating Hebrew writing on a card from Rabbi RABINOVICI of Minneapolis Congreation Sh'arit Israel (defunct) #translation

Aline Petzold
 

Hello All:
 
 I have in my possession a calling card from Rabbi Rabinovici of Congreation Sh'arit Israel.  This was a Minneapolis synagogue, but is sadly no longer in existence.   I am wondering if someone can help me translate the Hebrew printing on the front of the card and also the writing on the back of the card.
 
Thank you,   Aline Petzold   <linypetzold@...>

World War II Enlistment -- strange civil occupation #usa

Josephine Rosenblum
 

William MENDEL's WW II Enlistment Record has most information correct, including 4 years of college, but his "Civil Occupation" is  listed as "Actor (Motion picture actor.) or Director, Motion Picture (Motion [picture director.) or Entertainer".
   I knew Bill, who later changed his surname to MENDELL, and asked him about this.  He had absolutely no idea why the Army wrote this.  He was born in Columbus and lived there.  He had never been in any facet of show business.  He was positive he hadn't written it, either seriously or as a joke.  He was a businessman.
   I have seen similar errors in other Enlistment Records, but nothing as far from the mark as this.
   Any ideas why this occurred?  Thanks in advance for your input.

FW: Confusing Birth Place #russia #belarus

Mary Ellen
 

In researching my husband's family, a cousin has written down place of birth
as Minsk, Krasnoyarsk, Russia (1836).
I can find Minsk as being the capital of Belarus but when I look for
Krasnoyarsk I find it is located in Siberia.
Can someone help me understand this?
Thank You,

Hello! I know Shydlowers that has a kind of Kamenny Brod (Zhytomyr region). Some of them went to the United States and Cuba, while other family members remained in Ukraine (Kiev) and Russia. If Your family members were connected with the place Kamenny Brod, then we are definitely relatives.

Pinkus Hardstein, Malke Loewy #hungary

I'm having difficulty reconciling the date of birth of Pinkus HAR(D)TSTEIN with the data I am seeing. First, from a cousin and other family tree information, I see 12 Nov 1835 in Tiszadob, Szabolcs-Szatmar-Bereg, Hungary. He was married to my great-great aunt, Malke (Mollie, Amalia) LOEWY around 1866. They had 5 children, all born between 1867-1881 before they came to settle in Fargo, Cass County, North Dakota in Jun 1885. One of the hints I am seeing indicates the Hungary, Select Citizen Census, 1869 showing

This appears to be the same family. The one child I have born before 1869 is Isidor M. HARTSTEIN (Jul 1867-26 Jul 1951). However, I also have Bert (06 Jul 1870/1872-31 Dec 1958) and 3 others who don't appear on this census. Is this just coincidental or are the dates off? The location is also different, or appears to be so; I don't know the areas in question, and would appreciate any insight into this.

What years are covered for these three cities? I am interested in mid to late 19th century and beyond (1875 going forward).
Family name was Eisenstein. Thank you.

A boy named Israel #names #general

Paul Silverstone
 

On May 27, 1887, my great-grandmother Doba Rosen arrived in Quebec on the s.s. Circassian,
with her eight children.   With her was boy named Israel, age 13.
This boy was not her child, and I do not know who he was.
Perhaps someone is missing a male family member named Israel who arrived in Canada
in 1887.

The only Australian to win an individual bronz medal in the 1932 Los Angeles Olympic Games was Eddie Scarf in Freestyle Wrestling Lt. Heavyweight event.

If he was born recently enough, check the 1984 Los Angeles Olympic Game medalists. Google Olympic Games medalists.

Pogulyaev and Pugliev family #belarus #ukraine

helencraddock@...
 

Hello
I am searching for my fathers family. My father was born Igor Pogulyaev 1929, Kyiv, Ukraine. Until recently we did not know who his parents were as they disappeared when he was very young. We now believe his father was Aleksi Danilovich Pogulyaev born 1907 Novozybkov, Belarus. Through my fathers Ancestry dna matches I am searching for family of
Moshe Meir Pugliev Bogdanoff 1851-1915 father Tuvia from Novozybkov, Belarus
Shlyoma Pogulyaev 1804-1842 father Nokhim from Novozybkov and Dobrush of Gomel
I have searched through Arolsen archives, Ancestry, J-roots, Vgd, Ukraine.com, Ukrainian archives and any other site I can find but can not find the connection between these two families or where my father might fit.
Thank you in advance for any information or advice on where I might look next

For some strange reason my URLs all point to the first ViewMate post: https://www.jewishgen.org/viewmate/viewmateview.asp?key=VM80808

I also posted the second page of the record with the same headings to help translators if the writing on the first page was not clear.

1875 Revision List Review/Translation Assistance #translation #ukraine

dps1107@...
 

Hello,

I am trying to locate persons with the surnames below in the 1875 Revision lists (available on Alex Krakovsky's website) listed next to their names. I don't believe there is yet an index for either list. Are there any services available to find/review/translate the Ukrainian? Happy to make a donation to JewishGen or pay a professional as needed. Is anyone in fact currently indexing these? Grateful for any guidance.

Looking for Hele Graber #general

JOSEPH GODELNIK
 

I am trying to find relatives or details about Hele Graber.  He was born about 1890 at Volusia, Lithuania (Volozin, Lita) to Yitzhak and Pesia.  He was the brother of my grandmother Chaya Libe Pollack Ginzburg.  He immigrated to the USA in the early 20th century, about the same time that my grandmother, her mother and younger sister immigrated to Israel, around 1906.  I don't think that he had any children.  I had another uncle who corresponded with him until mid-20th century (nothing remains of these letters).  I will appreciate finding out any more details about Hele Graber (born Pollack) and his family.

 

Thank you in advance,
