Re: "Jüdische Familien In Kreuznach" #germany

To summarize the previous posts and explain my interest:

1.  In the first post, Yann asked for help in locating a copy of "Jüdische Familien In Kreuznach, Vom 18.Jahrundert bis zum Ersten Weltkrieg."

2.  In the second post, Peter Lobbenberg provided a link.

3.  In the third post, Yann commented that the link provided was not for "Jüdische Familien In Kreuznach, Vom 18.Jahrundert bis zum Ersten Weltkrieg", but for another work by the same author, called "Juedisches Leben in Kreuznach".

As I am interested in the town of Bad Kreuznach during the period after WWI, I opened that link, expecting to the find the shorter title "Juedisches Leben in Kreuznach", and hoping that it might cover the period after WWI.   To my surprise, however, it took me to the pre-WWI work that Yann was originally trying to find!

I'd greatly appreciate a link to the ""Juedisches Leben in Kreuznach" work.  My uncle, Rabbi Alfred Jacobs, was the rabbi of Bad Kreuznach from 1927 until Kristallnacht.

Thank you in advance.

Re: Ballasagyarmat: what census records are there? #hungary

JPmiaou@...
 

"Census of Izraelites living in the borough of B. Gyarmath for the year 1845/46": https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3Q9M-CS6Z-GQ3M-D?i=30&cat=636994 (Film # 007995363 images 31 to 46).

It looks like the enumerator consistently spelled Weiss as Vaisz. 299 households to look through. (Keep in mind that each page/list of names is on at least two images, more if the page was refilmed.)

(Speaking of spelling: it's correctly Balassa-, with one L and two S-es. It's the birthplace of both of my parents, so I've had lots of practice spelling it.)

Translating (making sense of) the headers of the census would be a Project: it's making distinctions between words that I would consider synonyms (kereskedés, kalmárság). Oh: the first two pages/lists have the headers in Hungarian, the next page/list is half in Latin, the rest are all in Latin. Hmm. In my Copious Spare Time....

Re: Research individuals in France #france

This is so generous of you to offer help Art. My French research is looking for details of my Hirschfeld family that moved to Strasbourg, France. Anton Hirschfeld and his wife, Katarina Sessler Hirschfeld were both born in Galgocz, Hungary. This town is now Hlohovec, Slovakia. Anton was born in 1847 and Katarina was born in 1853. They moved to Strasbourg to help with the family's export-import business of goose liver pate. The Hirschfeld family traded with much of Europe from their origins in Hungary. Anton and Katarina had 10 children all born in France. Many years ago, I communicated with a gentleman who sent me some basic information, but no updates and information about modern descendants. Anton and Katarina are both buried in Galgocz. Katarina died on 2 Dec 1904 and Anton died on 26 Jul 1922. 

Thank you for any help you can share or any suggestions for a direction I can go to find out more about this family. 
Regards.

Oh my!!!! I am amazed and Flabbergasted at all you have found. This is all just wonderful. I am overwhelmed. Merci tres, tres much.  My French is very rusty. I can't tell you how much I appreciate all this information. Is there any way I can compensate you other than just by my thank yous.

Yes, I knew Jeanne also from our visit in her's and Misha's home in April 1972. There is much more I can tell you about Misha's history. Jeanne was Misha's at least second wife. She was a nurse and nursed him back to health from tuberculosis in the Vouges mountains before they married. My parents visited with Misha in 1950 when they went to Europe and spent a good deal of time with Jeanne and Misha. Before they left the U.S., They asked Misha what he needed as France was still not in great shape after WW II . Misha said I need coffee and a toilet seat. My parents took him both. He was a lovely man. I loved him dearly. We had good letter writing together. He was a deep thinker. He escaped from Ukraine or maybe Russia because he was in a plot to kill the Czar. His mother was able to Bribe the jailer as he was in custody and was to be hung. He was a revolutionary. The whole family were intellectuals and university graduates .His father was a doctor. His mother a nurse of royal order. His two brothers were PHD doctors and lived and worked in the U.S.. His one sister was an agronomist. She remained in Russia. and later moved to St Petersburg. His mother finally immigrated to France, Paris. During the occupation Misha placed her in an insane asylum where he felt she would be safe. She was . She lived to be liberated but died of starvation shortly after. She was about 85 at  that time. I'd love to know when Rose Bronfenbrener died and is buried as well as MIsha's death. The last letter my father received was misha telling him he would be dead shortly and saying goodbye. My Dad died in March 1977. Misha's last  letter was not to long before that, no more than a year.  

Thank you more and more for all your help. Now I must send my first cousin all your information. He will be as overwhelmed as I am.

Re: ViewMate Translation Request-French #translation

I want to thank Rodney Eisfelder, David Choukroun, Michael Greenfield, and Carol Bradford for the translation and all your work on this document. It is people like you that make JewishGen the wonderful community that it is. I believe that the document had more genealogical data and the usual marriage record legalize due to the fact that the parents of the bride were both deceased and that the bride was a minor (under the age of 21) at the time.

RE: "If the name on the manifest is the name they used..."
That is not the gist of what has been said... The name on the manifest was the copied from the name on the embarkation manifest. 

RE: "I can decipher some, but nowhere near all, the names."
There are instances of poor penmanship. But no matter how bad the penmanship of someone who transcribes it, I still know my name. The same was true for each immigrant.

RE: "But the names were never changed." 
There are instances of immigrants who changed their names, but the ship manifests were not the place where the changes happened... although in some cases, an immigrant may have decided to adopt an inadvertent misspelling.

I was about to write the same as Angie. If not for wonderful and brave people like this many descendants and their families would have perished.  Schindler is one of the most famous listed as one of the Righteous Among Nations, but most people do not become famous like he did.  Most are ordinary people with extraordinary courage who are true to their moral compass.  How moving this story is and i will pass it on to my Hungarian Jewish Cousin whom i know will find this so touching as well.

Re: meaning of word esboubem? #russia

@murfisto
 

If it is an expression used only by one family, it brings back the Yiddish phrase used toward the very elderly at the dining table, " Ess, boubele" or "eat, grandmother" kindly cajoling an elderly grandparent to eat what was put in front of them...

Dear peter
Thank you very much for your answer. However, this link offers this title: "Juedisches Leben in Kreuznach", Also very interesting book
My research concerns this title:"Jüdische Familien In Kreuznach, Vom 18.Jahrundert bis zum Ersten Weltkrieg"
by the same author, published in the same year.
This last title offers a very detailed record of the registers of birth, death and marriage of Kreuznach for the Jewish populations.
Thanks again for this help
Best regards
Yann
