Viewmate Record Translation - Polish - Maybe Some German #galicia

Judy Brodkey
 

Our family has recently begun to solve a mystery and would love to
know what's in some original birth records >from Galicia.

I've posted three short vital records in Polish and maybe some old
official German that need translating. They are on ViewMate at ...

Please respond using the form in ViewMate.

If you can help, we would appreciate it very much. Thank you!

New Krakow WWII (under occupation) & Rudawka Maps in Gesher Galicia's Cadastral Map Room #galicia

Pamela Weisberger
 

Announcing three recent additions to the Gesher Galicia Cadastral Map
Room:

Krakow Street Map Under Occupation ca. 1941

http://maps.geshergalicia.org/special/krakow-occupation-nd/

This important map showing Krakow (Cracow, Krakau) under German
occupation during WWII was provided to Gesher Galicia by the Jewish
Historical Institute of Warsaw, Poland. Four zones are highlighted by
hand, including the town center ('mixed/business district', A),
initial German residential area (B), extended German residential area
(C), and the ghetto ('Jewish residential', D). Streets are labeled with
their Polish names, but some are Germanized. The Kazimierz district,
two Jewish cemeteries and key churches are indicated, but not
synagogues.

There are also two cadastral maps for two different towns named
Rudawka: one in Poland, the other about 40 kilometers NNW, across the
border in Ukraine.

Rudawka Village Cadastral Map 1852 (Gmina Bircza)

http://maps.geshergalicia.org/cadastral/rudawka-1852/

This is a selectively-colored cadastral map of the village of Rudawka
(now in the Gmina Bircza of Poland), surveyed 1852 and lithographed
1854. The map shows no village center or masonry buildings, but
includes a modest estate and two small Catholic chapels.

Rudawka Village Cadastral Map 1853 (Stary Sambor Raion)

http://maps.geshergalicia.org/cadastral/rudawka-rudavka-1853/

A complete, selectively-colored cadastral map of the village of Rudawka
(Rudavka,) now a defunct settlement in the Stary Sambor Raion of
Ukraine, surveyed 1853 and lithographed 1854. Covering a large but
sparsely populated village straddling the Rudawka River with two other
rivers flowing in, the map shows no village center or masonry buildings,
and only a tiny Catholic church.

(Note to researchers: there are several other formerly Galician towns
with the name of, or beginning with, Rudawka. Knowing the coordinates
of "your" towns are key when names are so similar.)

I think you may find the name is actually listed as "Sore" not "Lore". I
have an aunt that came to the US with her mother, in about 1908. The ship

I hope this helps.

Need Help Please Translating Two Headstones from Hebrew to English #bessarabia

Adrienne Escoe <aescoe@...>
 

Hello,

I am requesting help >from someone who is willing to look at, translate from
Hebrew to English, and compare the photographs of two headstones: 1) my
paternal grandfather (Lezor Nuch) and 2) the father of my father's cousin's
father (Louis Nuch). I knew my father's cousin (Solomon Nuch) when I was a
child but do not know if Solomon was a first cousin or other kind of cousin
of my father.

I recently discovered that both Lezor and Louis were born in the same
village of Crosnow (or Crosnoe) in the town of Ribnita (or Rybnitsa), which
is now in the break-away state of Transmistria (or Transdnistra) and across
the river >from Rezina, Moldova. My father and his family grew up in Rezina
before coming to the United States. The headstones for Lezor, Louis, and
Solomon Nuch are in the Montefiore cemetery in New York, as are my parents'.
I found a family tree on ancestry.com with Solomon, his father Louis, and
his grandfather, Berl. If Lezor and Louis turn out to be brothers, then I
have found my great grandfather. In any case, I wish to know the
relationships.

Please respond via phone or directly to me by email, and I will send you the two headstone
photographs.

Thanks very much.
