I had a similar problem with MyHeritage.  They offered a one year "premium plus" subscription at a heavily discounted price ($150 instead of the full $300 price).  I submitted payment details and paid gladly.  One year later, they charged my credit card $300 for a renewal I didn't request.  

This appears to be a fairly widespread practice with online services as well.

I can ask my cousin who lives in Montivideo.  Her grandmother moved there from Poland in the 1930’s as well.

I can’t help you in your search, but as an interesting side fact, Carl KREINDLER’s daughter was a midwife who delivered my father and his two brothers between 1903-7.

Kreindler / Kriendler town of origin in Galicia #galicia 
From: Simon Kreindler
Date: Fri, 31 Jul 2020 17:56:11 EDT 
 

I have documented my KREINDLER line back to my GG Grandfather, Simon Kreindler, who was born in 1790 in Solotwina, a shtetl in the Austro-Hungarian Empire not far from Stanislawow (today it is Ivano-Frankivsk, Ukraine).

 

Although the KREINDLER name is not all that common, I have never been able to connect my line with the KREINDLERS of Club 21 fame. Their earliest ancestor in the US was Kieve/Carl KREINDLER who arrived in NY either in 1900 (according to Ellis Island records) or in 1896 (according to his son, Peter).

 

Kieve/Carl’s branch subsequently changed the spelling of their name to KRIENDLER, probably because it was grammatically more correct in English-speaking USA. My line retained the original spelling.

 

Years ago, I tried to find out where Kieve/Carl’s family had originated. It was not on his Ellis Island arrival record and none of his family apparently knew the answer (although the ones I spoke to were also very curious).

 

I wonder if, in the intervening 20 plus years, any of the KRIENDLER branch has been able to find the answer? If so, I would be delighted to hear from you.

Does anyone have a subscription to ProQuest who would be willing to look up an obituary for me?  I used to be able to access the site through my public library, but they no longer subscribe to the site.

Dear Group,

Does anyone know of a resource to locate and possibly photograph the tombstones of my g-g-gp's, in Oradea? I know there are three Jewish cemeteries there. The Valenta has many tomstones photographed on JOWBR.

Ancestry Faces $250 Million Class Action Lawsuit Over Auto-Renewals

I realize that in some places this might not be applicable right now, but public libraries often have subscriptions to Ancestry that can be used for free.  They won't offer a free trial, nor will they ask for a credit card number.
 
Some of these libraries have made it possible to connect to Ancestry from home through them during the pandemic.

This is a wedding certificate from 1876 that may be of my wife's great grandmother in Markuszow, Lublin, Poland, then under Russian control. The family names are Neirensztein and Goldzycher. Thank you in advance for your help.
I need to know the names and age related information of the parents of the bride and groom and the bride and groom, and the place where they were born.

A Presentation from Gesher Galicia: The Galicia Jewish Museum in Kraków: A Virtual Tour Narrated By Jakub Nowalkowski and Jonathan Webber #galicia #events

Steven Turner
 

Dear Friends,

The webinar series from Gesher Galicia returns today with this engaging presentation by Jakub Nowakowski and Jonathan Webber from the Galicia Jewish Museum in Kraków. They take you on a virtual tour of the museum that you will not want to miss.

Jakub Nowakowski was born and raised in Kazimierz, the former Jewish district of Kraków. Coming from a non-Jewish family that lived in Kazimierz for generations, from an early age he was compelled to research the history of his neighborhood. In 2007 he graduated from the Department of Jewish Studies at the Jagiellonian University, where he wrote a thesis on Jewish resistance in Kraków during the Second World War. In 2005 Jakub joined the staff of the newly open (2004) Galicia Jewish Museum in Kraków. In 2006 he joined the Museum’s Education Department, and in 2008 he became its manager. In 2010, after an international competition, Jakub was appointed the Galicia Jewish Museum’s director.

Jonathan Webber is a British anthropologist and Jewish activist now living in Kraków Poland. From the end of the 1980s Jonathan conducted fieldwork over many summers in about 100 towns and villages searching out Jewish heritage across the length and breadth of that part of Galicia which is today in Poland. After sharing his findings with the British photographer Chris Schwarz, he then went on to curate with him the permanent exhibition of the Galicia Jewish Museum in Kraków, established in 2004.

Re: Mt. Sharon Cemetery #general

EdrieAnne Broughton
 

It might help if you include the location of the Mt Sharon and Mt Lebanon cemeteries you were talking about.  There are several Jewish Mt Sharons that come up in a google search and many more that are obviously not Jewish.  I found that while Mt. Lebanon in Glendale (Queens) NY doesn't have much presence on Find a Grave, it does have a website of it's own and includes a search engine for those buried there.  Adding a cemetery to FAG is easy.  First find the complete name of the cemetery, including previous names.  Go to FAG's page, hit Cemeteries in the top menu bar.  There are two choices below the "search for cemeteries".  One is Add a Cemetery, the other is Browse by Location.  Do try to browse by location because often the missing cemetery is there under another name.  If it isn't, then hit the Add a Cemetery and fill out as much as possible.  If there's an office where the clerk is missing, ask for a business card and enter the information on it.  If you add a burial or two that will get things started.  I support Find a Grave because they are mostly volunteer and a handy place to start searching when you don't have much money.  You get out what you put in.

Re: Early 1900's Address Book of Stanislawow #galicia

Logan Kleinwaks
 

Stanislawow is included in well more than 100 directories on https://genealogyindexer.org, but most of them have geographic scope of all of Poland or all of Galicia, rather than being limited to just Stanislawow. The easiest way to search these is by surname, but you can also enter both a surname and stanislawow (separated by a space) to find pages mentioning both words (not necessarily in connection to each other). For a few of the most important such directories, search results (even just for surname searches) include an indication of the towns covered on the matching page, but I have not had time to create such a town index for each directory and many are not even organized by town, but by occupation or in another fashion. Another option is to manually browse the Stanislawow section of a directory that is organized by town. To find the Stanislawow section, you can browse the directory via the links at https://genealogyindexer.org/directories or search for stanislawow {X} where X is the directory's id number listed at https://genealogyindexer.org/directories. Usually, if there is a Stanislawow section, you will see in the search results many matches for consecutive image numbers, with the first such consecutive match being at or near the beginning of the Stanislawow section and often having the word Stanislawow in all caps. In directories with a geographic scope larger than just Stanislawow (e.g., covering all of Poland), the amount of information about Stanislawow can vary considerably -- many of these directories are limited to certain occupations, but some are much more comprehensive, such as the well-known series Księga Adresowa Polski (wraz z w. m. Gdańskiem) dla handlu, rzemiosł i rolnictwa for 1926/1927 {d21}, 1928 {d22}, 1929 {d23. d1391}, and 1930 {d24. d1392}.

Re: Ancestry Faces $250 Million Class Action Lawsuit Over Auto-Renewals

People should use common sense.  I had the same thing when I looked once at Ancestry and was proposed a 14 day free trial.  I accepted it and was straight away directed to a page asking me my credit card information.  I said to myself : why Ancestry needs already my credit card information during a free trial.  It should be normal been asked after the finishing of the free trial and it is me to accept their proposal or to refuse it.  Result would have been,  that I would have got a free trial for 14 days and then have to pay, because they have already my credit card information.  My common sense said – no thank you – and I skipped the free trial.  And if you think free ‘cheating’ trials are only with Ancestry, you make a big mistake.  I happens with a lot of other websites.

The same with the cookies: if you don’t accept them you cannot get on some websites.  So people, use your common sense, so as, I hope at least, you do the same when getting phishing mails.

Jerychem is the Yiddish pronunciation of the Hebrew name Yerocham,   Yerocham appears in the book of Samuel as the father of Elkanah.  It has nothing to do with Jericho.  It is related to the word rachem-mercy.
