Re: AA File for Grandfather #romania #usa #records

I recently learned from an online seminar presented by the JGSGW that children born on ships going to the US were listed on the last page of the ship’s manifest. If you can find that, it might help. Good luck!

Dear Ruth,

Exactly the information I was looking for. You may have seen I changed my original question to 19th century which I assume showed similar usage of the water ways.
Thanks a lot,

Eva FINKELSTEIN ABREMOVICH #canada

Paul Silverstone
 



In 1896 my great aunt Eva FINKELSTEIN (later Abremovich) (1877-1953)
was the first Jew to graduate from what became the University of
Manitoba. During her life she touched the lives of many people in the
Wnnipeg area and was active in many social organizations.
This is probably a fruitless request, but if anyone has any knowledge of
her as to why she continued in school when few women did, I would be
grateful to learn about it. She was married to Manuel Abremovich, a
mechanical engineer.

Warsaw immigration visas, 1925 #poland

Jenny Rappaport
 

My grandmother's siblings immigrated from Poland (now Belarus) to the US in 1925. The ship manifest says that they were issued immigration visas in Warsaw, along with the date that they were granted. Where would I go about finding copies of these visas? Do they still exist?

Another finding among Bessarabia records (2) - Merchant Dues List and Signed Petition #ukraine #bessarabia

Yefim Kogan
 

Hello researchers,

Here is another in my opinion interesting finding for Bessarabia records.  It is a Merchant Dues List.  The list I found so far was for town of Khotin, 1865.  The reason it was not found before was that the list is among large pack of different documents (not records), and the whole set is only 3 pages.

The list is pretty small. There are only 71 records with full names of Heads of household. Also there is a number of men in the family and number of men 17 years or older.  

Another list found was Signatures of Jews on a Petition on a gathering.  The petition is pretty interesting and it is about one widow with children used to be Merchant, but probably was not able to pay dues and was moved out of Merchant estate to Middle Class... and the petition was to bring that family back to Merchants.  For this list we have 145 records of only Head of Households.  Full names are written in Russian and after that was an Yiddish signature.  This is all.

The text of the petition is about 3 pages long, and if someone is interested to translated it into English, that would be great, and we will know all the details of this gathering and will put it as an article to our Bessarabia website.

There are more interesting findings for the future postings.

All the best,
L'Shana Tovah.

Dear researchers,

I was responding today on an email and was looking up something on internet, and found a terrific place about Jewish towns and shtetl in Ukraine.  Some of them were part of Bessarabia, like Khotin, Novoselitsa, Akkerman, and many more.

Here is a link: http://myshtetl.org/
Site was created by Jewish Religious community of Zhmerinka.

It is in Russian, but it is easy to translate... just click with right mouse and you will see Translate to English, probably similar with other languages.

It lists shtetl by current Oblast in Ukraine, also there are maps with Jewish population, and statistical information.

All the best,

Dear Shmiel,

 

Ooh.  I would love to know if Gelburd and Gordy show in those censuses.  I do note that I expect at some point Alex Krakovsky will be scanning them in the next year or two.

Recently I posted a question about Mt. Sharon Cemetery in Philadelphia. Today a truly generous woman visited the grave sites of 8 of my family members resting there, put stones on the headstone, and sent pictures to me. I am so grateful to Dr. Cheryl. This would never have been possible if not for this discussion group.

No further details given
Page 754 speaks about a Zeev Wolf Landau, a great-grandson of the famous Rav Yechezkel Landau, the author of the sefer Noda Biyehuda, whilst page 870 discusses R Zeev Wolf Grunfeld living in Bnei Berak. These two seem to have entered the index by virtue of their first name.
As such it appears Vol 3 is not going to assist you in your search.
I hope the other two volumes will.

Sarah,

Have you seen the information on David and his wife on Ancestry in this database:
Canada, Immigrants Approved in Orders in Council, 1929-1960.
It gives a lot of info on his wife (including the name she arrived to Canada under), where she worked in Canada, she went to Cuba to marry David in Nov. 1934,  the fact that David is a clothing merchant, and that they knew each other before she came to Canada, and lots more helpful data.  It seems to be dated April 6, 1936.

Also, found manifest info on David's wife which gives the name of her brother in Canada, and her married sister in Brooklyn, NY.

Who Was Dawid APOThEKER (APOTHEKERIS ) From Kaunas #lithuania

Abuwasta Abuwasta
 

While researching my father's in law Dawid APOTHEKER from Galicia who managed to get to Shanghai thanks to the Japanese Consul in 

Kaunas I discovered that there was another Dawid APOTHEKER  who also got a visa to Japan but never got there. Recently I discovered in the Litvak SIG database that he 

was on the voters list in Kaunas and was born in 1909. I have a copy of a telegram he sent from Vilnius  on May 15th,1941 to friends in Kobe, Japan. He signed with his name and

Marjan and Mirylek who were apparently his son and wife. I assume that he was a relative of us who somehow got himself to Lithuania and settled in Kaunas. I would be thankful to any 

one who will help to shed a light on this person.

Re: PLUST family #general

Sherri Bobish
 


Ida,

You don't say where you lived as a child.  If you lived in the U.S., take a look at this link.  It is the 1930 census index of people named PLUST in the U.S. (several different cities / states.)
It is two pages long:
https://www.familysearch.org/search/record/results?q.surname=plust&q.surname.exact=on&f.collectionId=1810731&count=20&offset=0&m.defaultFacets=on&m.queryRequireDefault=on&m.facetNestCollectionInCategory=on
You can look at the actual census page to see more info on each person, including street address in 1930.

Regards,

Re: What did Jewish children in the Pale of Settlement call their parents? #names

jbonline1111@...
 

My mother and her brothers called their father Pop.  Her mother died when she was ten, so I don't know what she called her. My father was an orphan by age 9 so I have no idea what he called his parents either.  They were first generation Americans whose parents emigrated from the Pale.

My great great grandmother from Kolbuszowa, Galicia was born Gittel Storch.  It's not that far from Gorlice.  We should compare dna - maybe our Storch families are connected.

There's a NYC marriage record for a Matilda Storch marrying Harry Friedman, but they seem to stay in NYC.

There's also a 1935-1993 city directory record in Hartford for a Tillie Storch, but I've not found anything else connecting to this person.

Anyone recognize my mother's Aunt Tillie as part of your family? or have other suggestions how I might locate her?

Re: Housing Family Trees for FREE #general

Shalom,
I had a long conversation with an Orthodox Rabbi on this subject concerning the Mormons who converted dead Jews to the Mormon belief. The Rabbi explained that the Jewish law (Halacha) states simply, "Once a Jew, always a Jew. A Jew is G-d's Chosen people." I tried to make it difficult, so I asked, "What if the Jew converts?"
The Rabbi emphasized, "It will not help him/her. G-d Has Chosen him/her and he  or she can not backtrack on G-d's Decision. This is the law (Halacha)." To clinch this argument. He pointed out to me, "So even if he/she converts, they can be buried in a Jewish cemetery in full Jewish ceremony when they die. All the best,
Shana Tova and may we all enjoy this coming new Year in very good health.
