On the 1862 summary of the marriage record of her daughter, my gggrandmother is named Chaia Sura Tywel, but in the body of the text her father's name is given as Faivel. I have always assumed that her name was Chaia Sura bat Faivel.

Re: Brian Stern, the names WURM and WIENER #germany

gujlaki@...
 

Hello,

I am researching the WURMs from Hungary. There are several teories concerning the origin of WUM as a surname:

1. The ancestors of the family originated from the medieval German town of WORMS.
2. Its a fantasy name in contemporary German, meaning WORM in English.
3. Its a fantasy name from old or middle German, meaning Dragon in English (Like in the operas of Wagner.

There rae sveral forms, like WURM, WORM, VURM, VORM etc.

Re: Town in Hungary KOMIDAT (UNGAR) #hungary

gujlaki@...
 

Dear Jackie,

I would think the place you mentioned might be Magyarkomjat in the Subcarpathian area, now in Ukraine

https://hu.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magyarkomj%C3%A1t

https://kehilalinks.jewishgen.org/velikiye_komyaty/

The name translates as "Hungarian Komjat". "Ungar" might mean Hungarian, J was mispelled as "MI".

I drove through it several times.

Cheers,
Gyorgy
Re: New Book By Historian Jan Grabowski Polish Shows Polish Police Had Key Role in Nazi Final Solution #holocaust #poland

p.tomaszewski@...
 

Unfortunately, there are so many evident and intentional (!!) errors and ommissions in this book to treat it as a serious source of data. Mr Grabowski "corrected" the documents to show that Polish police helped Nazi forces. More, this is not Polish police but the forces directed by Germans. Thus, Grabowski could not be treated as historian!
Best regards,
Pawel

Brief translation from German? #germany #translation

Alberto Guido Chester
 

I attach a picture of the back of a postcard sent to my father Ire Schechter from his sister (from Rohatyn to Argentina)
 
Would appreciate reading/translating because the calligraphy is so strange to me.
 
Why would she write like that?
 
The photographer´s seal says "Carmen LWOW" and the picture was probably taken in the 1930´s.
 
She was killed in the Shoah.
 
Thanks in advance.

Re: Hungarian labor brigades - first person narrations #russia #hungary #romania #ukraine

Ron Hoenig
 

My father Gabor Hoenig (1922-2015) was part of group of forced labor survivors who wrote a short collective history of the IX/1 Battalion of forced laborers. It's in Hungarian and is named after a pop song of 40s A vaci utca felragyog (Vaci Street lights up). Its author was Propper Jeno. Those who can read Hungarian would find it very useful. On the back there is the following (my very rough translation)

More than a third of us perished between the curve of the Don and the battlefield. From our many companies nobody or a few solitary witnesses survived.A great many of us perished in the mines at Bor or on the road. Huge numbers also died on the Western border or were deported to the German territories. Forty two percent of the  "lucky" company survived and fifty-eight percent died or disappeared in the last few weeks. We cherish the memory of our comrades who were unable to survive the murderous weeks of the Nyilas (Arrow Cross) regime, and the memories of the millions who were cruelly murdered by facsism. We trust the future of our memories to this chronicle. Letters don't die ...

Hello,
going thru data base and noticed Jennie (1898-1981) and Usher Praissman (1871-1950). Usher was my great grandfather’s brother David Preissman (1874-1959). We have done considerable research on this side of our tree and continue to find new discoveries.  How are you related to Usher/Otto Praissman?  R,

Ancestry says she is my 2nd cousin, once removed (up a generation). That seems to be from her viewpoint. I then checked the great-granddaughter of my grandfather. This time Ancestry looked at it from my viewpoint, and labeled her my 1st cousin, once removed.
Others have answered your question, but just so I understand, where is Ancestry giving you this information?

Re: From Which Viewpoint Are Cousins Named? #general #names

Sarah Meyer writes, “Count the generations back to the siblings on EACH side so if on your side it is 4 and on the other side it is 3, the smaller number is the cousin - in this case 3 and the positive difference is the removed (4-3)=1.  It does not matter whose number is smaller.  So in this example the relationship would be third cousins once removed (my underline).  If the numbers were 2 and 5, it would be second cousins 3 times removed.”  

As I read Carl’s original post, if he counts back to the siblings as Sarah suggests (and would give the correct answer), then it is 3 on Carl’s side and 2 on the other.  As ancestry correctly stated, second cousins once removed (2C1R).

Chernigov Family Lists Uploaded to JewishGen Website #ukraine #translation

Beth Galleto
 

Dear fellow researchers,

 

I am happy to report that data from family lists (tax censuses) for the Glukhov, Starodub, and Mglin uezds (districts) in 1882 -- translated and transcribed as part of the Chernigov Gubernia Document Translation Project -- has been uploaded to the JewishGen website.

 

The lists are classified under the heading "Ukraine Revision Lists". (Strictly speaking these are not revision lists, but the information in them is similar enough that they fit into this classification.) Once you have linked to the database, the far right column labels the publication type as family lists.

 

You can find these lists by searching the JewishGen Unified Search for a particular surname that you believe came from the area in or near the Glukhov, Starodub, or Mglin uezds. Information you will find in the lists, in addition to a person's name, father's name, family relationship, gender, and age, may include where the family is registered, how long they have lived in their current location, their passport number, whether they own land or rent, and the head of family's occupation. The database includes the FHL film number and the image number. So far all translations under this project have come from film number 1222346, but the project includes five other films that will eventually be added. The films have been scanned and can be viewed on the FamilySearch website.

 

Thank you to all who made donations to advance the Chernigov Gubernia Document Translation Project. The project still has a long way to go to completion, but this is a very good start.
