Re: Staub family #hungary #names

Hi Molly, We have communicated before. My familyStaub, was from Rzesvow , southern Poland.. and were descendants of Eliazer Staub. and Moses Aaron Staub ( wife..Sarah Beila Kneller Staub)The children came to the state between 1911, or os and 1920.   I am interested in your question about altruism.  I did hear Dr Staub speak a long time ago in the Boston area.  He looked like he could have been related to me!  I do not know where he is teaching now, but I think he still may be at U of Massachusetts in Amherst , Ma.  My family, especially my sister is the most altruistic person, I know! If you think of something that will help the world.. she does it! A Staub, through and through.  Good luck on your search, Marjorie Staub ( Boston area.. originally from NJ.. family form Brooklyn and the Bronx!.

Searching the Family of David and Rose LONDON in Philadelphia #russia #usa

WALTER SPECTOR
 


Hello Genners,
I am researching the family of David and Rose London. David was a half brother to my grandfather Herman London Lander. Their father was Joseph London Lander. Somewhere in time my grandfather and his five siblings changed the name to Lander. The family originate in Proskrov, Russia and settled in Philadelphia. In Russia the name was Landau.

David married Rose Rose Cravitz(Kravitz) in 1906. Their children were Louis, Nathan, Morris , Betty (Bell), Sylvia (Cerota) and Gertrude (Weiss). I have found many documents to support this family. There was a break in the contact between this part of the London family and the Landers. I am trying to determine the reason and complete the family tree.

If this family is connected to you, please contact me privately.   Thank You,

 Walter Spector, Philadelphia

Re: Were "nephews" sometimes really cousins? #general

Nicole Heymans
 

Hi Erika,

My maternal grandparents were German Jews, my grandfather's family were from Westphalia and Lower Saxony, my grandmother's from Posen Province, Prussia; later Breslau (Wrocław, lower Silesia) and Berlin. I've seen the term "Vetter" (strictly speaking, cousin) applied quite loosely to more distant relatives. Also parents' cousins (even second cousins and inlaws) called "uncle" and "aunt"; I remember meeting my mother's "tante Reine" who after some digging turned out to be my mother's aunt's husband's sister-in-law's sister. Take a deep breath and read that again slowly. There was also a couple who were probably only business relations, but also friends, of my grandfather's generation, who my mother and uncle called "aunt" and "uncle".

So my grain of salt is: if anyone was calling someone "aunt" or "uncle" they would sign "nephew" or "niece".

Need to have a Stenographic Shorthand Note Deciphered #translation

Mark Halpern
 

I have a draft of a letter from an attorney to the US Department of State in July 1941 explaining that his client is attempting to bring his daughter and family to the US from Japan. The family had traveled from Warsaw to Vilna to Moscow and then on to Japan via the Trans-Siberian Railway and a ship. They were awaiting the receipt of their immigration visas in Japan, when the US State Department decided that all visas would from July 1, 1941 be issued only from Washington DC. Time had run out on the family in Japan. They spent the War in Shanghai and finally immigrated to America in 1947. 

At the bottom of this draft letter is the attached shorthand note, which I would like "translated." If anyone knows shorthand and can provide what this note says, I and the family of these immigrants will be very grateful.

Thank you and stay safe.

Re: Help on serveral ukrainian ancesters #ukraine

I am not sure what you find puzzling.  There were known to be many documents in the Simferopol and Sevastopol Archives before 2014.  They covered large areas of the Crimean Peninsula.  Records include census (Revision Lists), birth, marriage, divorce, and death records, as well as others.  Access has been denied since 2014.

The political status of Crimea has been a subject of a territorial dispute between Ukraine and Russia. Russian forces seized Crimea by force in 2014. Russia then annexed Crimea in 2014 following a referendum, and administers it as two federal subjects of Russia, and claimed it to be 'fully integrated' in July 2015.

Genome Mate Pro ("GMP") question #dna

Moishe Miller
 

Dear DNA Group,

I hope my note finds you and your loved ones safe and healthy.

Would you know if Genome Mate Pro ("GMP") has the capability of automatic "painting"? For instance, if I load my DNA to the software and also load my father's DNA, and identify it as such, will GMP be able to "phase" my 44 autosomes into 22 paternal and 22 maternal "strands"? And, for females, also the two "X" chromosomes? My understanding is that this level of phasing eliminates many false positives for small segment matches.

If GMP can do this, could GMP then compare my DNA to anyone, and determine if a match is a maternal or paternal match?

Does GMP have the further capability of allowing me to load DNA from other relatives, like aunts/uncles, 1C, 2C, etc., in sufficient quantity, so that the software is able to "paint" most of my DNA to my eight great-grandparents? If it can, then it would seem likely it can determine where any DNA match probably stems from (ie, which of my 8 g-gp's)?

Is there any software (yet) that can do this?

Thank you for your time,

Re: Stillborns #names #usa #general

William Sklar
 

Coreyabrand@...  asked about names and burials of stillborn children "in the religion"

Under halachic law [jewish law] a baby is named at his bris if he is a boy, or in shul when her father has an Aliyah.  With a still born there is no name.  The child is often buried at the edge of the cemetery without a headstone and the records would only show “Baby Cohen”.    The family may have had a name in mind but that is not the still born’s Jewish name.

SHALIT in North Dakota from Panevezys #lithuania

John Anderson
 

I am trying to determine any connection between Katherine (Katy, Kreindel bat reb Menachem Pinchas) SHALIT, born 04 Feb 1869 in "Russia," and Kreyna SHALIT who, from Lithuania, LitvakSIG Census & Family Lists from Various Districts, 1795-1900, was supposedly born c. 1868, daughter of Pinkhas and Malka (b. 1838) SHALIT, sister to Beyla (b. 1864) and Ariya (b. 1866). The question is this family list has "revision date" of 1908. This is a time when Katy SHALIT was married to Isadore HARTSTEIN and living in Fargo, Cass County, North Dakota. She had come over between 1890-1894, married HARTSTEIN in 1896 in Hennepin County, Minnesota, and settled later in Fargo, ND. 
 
Is this Katy/Katherine/Kreindel the same person as Kreyna from Lithuania listed above?

When I was growing up in suburban London in the 1950s, I was taught to call our neighbours (who weren't related in any way and weren't Jewish) uncle and aunt. A 'respect for your elders' thing.

Re: Were "nephews" sometimes really cousins? #general

Deborah Blankenberg
 

When my mother immigrated to the United States after World War II, she was sponsored by an uncle and aunt who had left Germany just before the beginning of the war. I knew them when I was small, and my mother always called them Onkel Otto and Tante Paula. She called their son, who was about a year younger than my mother, her cousin, and I always assumed they were first cousins. Long after the deaths of my mother, her cousin, and her uncle and aunt, my research revealed that Onkel Otto was actually my mother's first cousin once removed, and his son was my mother's second cousin. It's too late to ask, of course, but I assume my mother referred to these cousins as uncle and aunt out of respect, since they were of her parents' generation and acted, in a way, as surrogates for her parents, who did not survive the Shoah.

My great great grandfather was Jacob BUCHALTER  and he was born in about 1860 in Kunev Chmelnytsky Russia or it’s environs.  I am looking for both of Jacob’s parents but moreso his father. The story that has been circulating throughout  the family is that Mr. BUCHALTER  left Mrs. BUCHALTER  while she was pregnant with Jacob.  I don’t even know if Jacob had any siblings from this union or marriage.
