I was able to ascertain the names of great-grandparents who did not emigrate to the USA through the marriage certificates of my grandparents.  Naturalization papers and birth certificates will also give hints. In some cases, you may not be able to ascertain whether people are related, at least for now.  That is the case for me in my Slonimsky line.

Just for fun I plugged "Parkan" into Google Translate. I did a reverse lookup and it told me that паркан (parkan) is  Ukrainian for fence.

Trying to make contact with the descendants of the late cardiologist,
Dr. Samuel Rubin who died in 2012. His children are Rena (married Dr.
Baruch Adler, DDS), Dr. Menachem Pinchas Rubin, neurologist (whose
daughter is Chaya Tamara,married Dr. Asaf Klein, rheumatologist), Dr
Sholem Rubin, DDS) and Chaya Gita (Aviva who married Dr. Martin Moshe
Broker, radiologist).

Re. David Maggid, "Toledot Mishpechoth Gintzburg,", St. Petersburg, 1899, although there may well be Hebrew phrases mixed in, the copy I have appears to be written in Yiddish.

I too would be very interested to hear of any 'family trees' issued from the information in Maggid's book...

The only one I've come across so far (by David Kaufmann 1898) concerns a single branch: the Öttingen - Ries(s) - Wiener family who are the descendants of Bunlin aka Bona, Bunla, daughter of Simon \ Schimon \ "Seligman" Ulmo - Günzburg:

"Mordechai Model Öttingen und seine Kinder", von Prof. Dr. David Kaufmann

Dear Joseph,
I have no time for a detailed translation but the essence is that after different court cases in two courts the marriage ended with a divorce on 21 Febr. 1903.

As far as the known facts are concerned, someone hacked into GEDMatches database and changed everyone's privacy settings to public.  A number of unknown matches were injected into the systerm.  It might have been from law enforcement or from somewhere else, but either way, it caused the entire database to be available to anyone who wanted to see it for any reason.  Why, who knows?  We have no idea at this juncture what else may have been compromised, including names, email addresses, etc.

Jeffrey, you made a number of claims without evidence.  I only asked you to cite what has actually happened so we can assess for ourselves the probability and harm of such breaches.  I want to keep this real, not theoretical.  I never said I denied any danger exists as is clear from my posting.

Robert, I think the main differences among organizations is how they raise capital, start-up and ongoing, who takes the risk, and how they distribute profits.  Nonetheless, all organizations have to produce some good to some one to justify their continuance.  

Can anyone teach me please?

What happens when a childless person dies in Oklahoma?

Is there any record of possible probate procedures?

Is there any record of the distribution of whatever they left
behind? I am asking about an event in 1978

To elaborate upon Roman Tunkel’s important information, the two “kinds” of Günzburg (Cyrillic: Гинзбург, Гинцбург, Yiddish: גינצבורג, גינזבורג‎, Ginzburg, Gintsburg) in Russia both were Jewish.

 

In the first case, they were the descendants of one German Jewish family, some of whose members had migrated to Russia by the 1600s... and in the second case, they were from unrelated Jewish families in Russia who early in the emancipation period, when the Jews were ordered by the government to adopt family names, seemingly chose the name Günzburg because it was respected and/or sounded pleasing to them.

 

Indeed, apparently according to David Maggid, "Toledot Mishpechoth Gintzburg," Pg. 239, St. Petersburg, 1899, there even was a lawsuit instituted by Baer Günzburg of Grodno against a Jewish family of that city who had adopted the same name under the decree of 1804. The court sustained the right of Jewish families to adopt any name they chose, and the number of Günzburg families accordingly was said to have increased.

 

Usually cited as the progenitor of this family is Simon Günzburg zur Gemse, about whom the Jewish Encyclopedia, 1906 wrote:

 

“German scholar; communal worker; born at Günzburg, Bavaria, 1506; died at Burgau Jan. 9, 1585. He was the first who adopted and transmitted to his descendants the name "Günzburg" as a family name. He was a rich merchant, and traveled around in Germany and Poland in the interests of his business. He was also a great Talmudist, and had some knowledge of secular sciences. It is probably owing to these facts that Simon Günzburg is variously described by different historians. Albertrandy, quoted by Sternberg ("Gesch. der Juden in Polen," p. 148), says: "Simon, also called Selig Günzburg, was known as a celebrated architect and geometer. He wrote many works, and was the head of the rabbinate and yeshibah." It seems that Albertrandy confused Simon Günzburg with the physician Selig Günzburg of Slutsk. Czacki cites him as the court physician of King Sigismund August and chief of the community of Posen (Grätz, "Gesch." ix. 448). But Simon Günzburg never settled at Posen. His residence was first at Günzburg, where, he built a synagogue and established a cemetery; and then he settled at Burgau, a neighboring town. There also he worked for the welfare of the community, for which reason his name is commemorated in a special prayer.”

 

According to sources I believe to be reliable, his ancestors are documented to be:

 

1 Meir Zurich d. 1345

 

2 Baruch ben Meir Zurich b. 1319 d. 1382

   m. Guetlin - Kalonoymos b. 1328 d. 1417

   [daughter of Smoe (Samuel) ben Baruch and Name Unknown]

 

3 Lemlin ben Baruch b. 1355 Burgau (D) d. 1410

   m. Zuerlin Unknown b. 1360 d. 1436

    [daughter of Baruch ben Meir Zurich and Guetlin - Kalonoymos]

 

4 Falk ben Lemlin b. 1390 Augsburg, Bavaria (D) d. 1465 Ulm, Baden-Württemberg (D)

   m. Name Unknown

 

5 Schmuel (Samuel) ben Falk b. 1418 Augsburg (D) d. 1478

   m. Name Unknown

 

6 Jechiel ben Schmuel Porto b. 1445 d. 1505

   m. Frimes bat Aharon ben Schmuel

 

7 Elieser Ullmo - Günzburg b. 1477 (P) d. 1544

   m. Simche Unknown

 

8 Simon \ Schimon \ "Seligman" Ulmo - Günzburg b. 1506 Günsburg, Bayern (D) d. 9 Jan 1585 Burgau,  
    Schwaben Bavaria, (D)

    m. Hannele / Händel bat R. Isaak Linz m. ABT 1550 d. 1 Nov 1593

    [daughter of Rabbi Isaak Linz ben Eljakim - Linz and Tserlin Unknown]

 

This indicates the family ‘originated’ in what now is Switzerland; and subsequent migrations ultimately brought some of its descendants from the city of Ulm on the Bavarian border to the town of Günzburg in Bavaria. It’s for this reason, Simon Günzburg and several of his immediate descendants, sometimes called themselves "Ulma-Günzburg".
