i was surprised to find this emblem, crossed anchors and a shield under an eagle, which i think is navy, on a relative’s gravestone in texas.  

there are similar symbols online, as naval officers’ badges, but i found no records to indicate that he served in the navy, just a draft card and a medical discharge for a non-com infantryman with a similar name.  and i don’t know what the feather next to it means.  any suggestions?

I know the address in Warszawa of my grandparents' store on Zielna Street in Warszawa - I have a photo and it is listed in the 1928 Warsaw business directory.   Is there a way to find out where it is located today?  There is still a Zielna St in Warsaw and the closest I can get to the address is where the
Macabee Restaurant is now.  However, after the Shoah, many street locations were changed.  Is there a way of finding where addresses or streets were pre- and post Shoah?

Yes I am pretty sure there is. Write to Daniel Wagner or Kamila Klauzinska. I spoke to him two years ago at the Warsaw IAJGS conference and he then sent me pictures of my ancestors' gravestones.

I had FELD relatives living in an apartment in Far Rockaway NY in the 1960s. I was given the connection to them by my family in South Africa. After I moved to the US (Manhattan)  I contacted them. An older couple (60s?) who had a married son with a child He had been killed in an accident. Also a daughter living in California. I visited them occasionally but never knew our actual relationship, and I do not remember their names. After I moved to Toronto, I let the connection go. I was not as interested in genealogy  then as I have since become. I hope this gives you a start and I would be pleased to know if you can establish who your FELDs are and if we have a connection. Regards, Isme Bennie

I'm trying to find information on my great grandmother, Rose Rebekah GLAZER KLINE Lepman (Lipman). Immigrated from Lithuania, was widowed before my Grandmother was born in 1895, then remarried a man by the name of Lipman or Lepman. Spellings are all different. 
I have some documents that I have gathered but don't know how to proceed further to track down further information. I'm also trying to determine if my Grandmother was one of 4 children or one of 5. There are rumors that she had an older sister that had been ostracized from the family and we would like to determine if this is a rumor or fact and to track her/family down.
I have attached findings (I think all 40 items uploaded?) that I have so far. Can anyone help me ?

Dear Stan,

According to my info, Nechama K. (aka Nislah) was the grand-daughter of Shaul Wahl K. via his son Meir Moshe K.She married a different Moshe HaCohen Katz,(1570-??) ben Peysakh Yehuda, who is not the one who was Dayan of Frankfurt. The Dayan Moshe HaCohen (1550-1620) ben Meir Ephraim married Keileh Bingen.

This is I believe the one you are looking for: https://www.geni.com/people/Nessale-Nissla-Katz/6000000001281846714

My grandfather came through Ellis Island in 1913. He put down his address as Gospitalna ul. 21 Minsk. At least that is what it looks like to me (see attached). Is there still a Gospitalna Street in Minsk? How can I find out if there was such a street in 1913? Thanks.

My 24-year old grandmother came to the US at age from what was then Russia in 1914 using the passport of her 19-year old sister. Her ship sailed from Rotterdam on the day Russia entered WWI. It was an age thing, but I never understood why a 24-year old might not be admitted to the US but a 19-year old would, especially since there were other family members in the US already. When my grandmother's sister eventually came to the US with her four children in 1933, it was under her married name and with a Polish passport.
