Meaning of comment on death record - Bukaczowce #galicia #ukraine

Linda Cantor
 

The following comment was added to my great grandfather's 1902 death record in Bukaczowce, AH (now Ukraine): 
Transliteration & translation from Polish: "Odnośnie do polecenia C.K. starostwa w Rohatynie z dnia 20/10 1908 b.38106." = Pursuant to the order of the Royal Imperial County Office in Rohatyn of October 20, 1908 #38106"

Does anyone know why such a comment or order would be added 6 years after the death, which is listed in the correct place in the 1902 records?

I'm not an expert on UK genealogy, but there are a few things I might suggest.

For Latvia I would look at my Latvia resources:

https://bloodandfrogs.com/compendium/latvia

There is of course the JewishGen Latvia database, and multiple Facebook groups dedicated to Latvian (and Lithuanian) genealogy.

My own Silver grandfather came from a town in Poland that was part of the Russian Empire before WWI. In Poland/Russia his surname was Zylberman. That was changed to Silberman, and finally Silver.

I was only able to find my family ancestral town because it was in US naturalization papers. Are there similar papers for the UK? Its possible both spouses have information on their origins in such papers.

I also think that the "feather" is a leaf, an oak likely.  If you look at the original image on findagrave memorial 140651431 and view the enlarge image in color, there are many acorns and other oak leaves around the stone.  Additionally there is the cap of an acorn shown above the eagle's right wing [left side of image] and the object above the "feather" seems to be several acorn caps and twigs being clearly brown and separate not the blueish bronze color of the eagle.

Hello Genners,

Thank you Sally for the explanation concerning the name ‘Michal’ for a male.  As I recall, that is exactly how it was written on the tombstone when I did the translation.  Shalom, Malka Chosnek

OK then I stand corrected.  I know some US citizens got into the war before the rest of the nation by going to Canada, France or Britain and serving; I gues there is no reason a Canadian might not have done the opposite.

Michel is also a man's name. My grandfather and his grandfather had this name.

The name "Michal" is a girl's name.  

The first part of her father's name is likely one of the following 2:

1.  Michael [pronounced mee-cha-el in Hebrew], in which case there is a 'typo' and one letter is missing.

2.  "Michel", which is a Yiddish nickname for Michael.

Re: Reference to "Schleichera Filipa" Lviv Cemetery Records 1941-1942 #galicia #holocaust

Tony Kahane
 

As Igor Holyboroda has already usefully mentioned, Schleichera street in Lviv is today called Bazarna.

Researchers interested in the naming and history of streets in Lviv (Lwow, Lemberg) can search a helpful database provided by the Center for Urban History of East Central Europe. The searchable table is at:
 http://www.lvivcenter.org/en/streets/streets/

From this, you can find the street indicated on a city map, as well as information on the history of the street's names. In this case, you can see that the street wa named Schleichera (after Filip Schleicher) from 1934 to 1950, with a hiatus from 1943-1944, when the Nazi Germans changed the name to Brauhausgasse, presumably not wanting to honour a Jewish former deputy mayor of Lwow. Schleicher, who was a lawyer, was deputy mayor from 1913 to 1927. The street has been called Bazarna since 1950.

Stanislawow New Cemetery #ukraine

YOAV ARAN

Dear friends, 

I noticed on this site https://kehilalinks.jewishgen.org/Ivano_Frankivsk/photos/cemetery.html  that there is a Jewish Cemetery in Stanisalwow (Ivano-Frankivsk) established in 1927. I believe my great great grandfather, Arieh (Leiber) Schwimmer (and likely other family members from Stanisalwow), was buried there in 1938. Does anyone know if there is a database online where I can look at the people who are buried there and find a record of him?


Thank you very much.

Brick Wall - SILVER Grandparents #poland #russia

Rachel
 

This is another brick wall that I have been trying to breakdown for years.  My ggf was known as Jack Silver in the UK and the marriage authorisation just gives his birth place as Russia/Poland. It appears his father was Yehoshue and he had a brother called Tzvi. According to their marriage certificate he would have been born about 1871.  It is said he met his wife (Jane Cohen) on the boat coming over.  As I can't find them in the 1891 census I'm presuming they would have come over about 1892/3.  The marriage certificate tells me that his father had been a publican but had died by the time Jack got married.  This is the only information that I have to go on, and their is no other information within the family.  I have the history since their arrival in the UK but would love to trace the history before that.  Where exactly was Jack born? Who was his mother? What happened to Tzvi?  It may well be that Jack came to England by himself? Any help greatly appreciated

Brick Wall - Cohen Grandparents #courland #latvia

Rachel
 

This is a brick wall I have been trying to knock down for many years.  I probably asked about this a couple of years ago, so I'm giving this another try.  My ggm in the UK was known as Jane Cohen, First name Sheina on the marriage authorisation and according to the authorisation and marriage certificate her father was Benzion (Benjamin).  The marriage authorisation says she came from Courland (Latvia) and according to UK records she was born in 1872. I have no knowledge of her mother's name or of any potential siblings. Neither did my father's generation have any information to add. I searched Christine Usdin's records years ago only finding one birth of a Sheina with a father Benzion but the year was way out of line.  She married Jack Silver in 1893 in London and family legend has it that they met 'on the boat over'. However, I cannot find either of them reliably in the 1891 census which may suggest they arrived in England somewhere between 1891 and 1893. I will write a separate post about Jack.  I have their history once they arrived in England but would love to find where she was born in Courland, and her mothers name. Once I have those I may be able to search further back. Any help greatly appreciated
