Martin Fischer
 

Stanley Diamond to present update on JRI-Poland on Jan. 24, 2021: 

Jewish Records Indexing-Poland’s founder and executive director, Stanley Diamond, will present “JRI-Poland Update and More” for the Sunday, Jan. 24, 2021, virtual meeting of the Jewish Genealogical Society of Illinois. His live streaming presentation will begin at 2 p.m. Central Standard Time. (A separate JGSI members-only genealogy question-and-answer discussion time will start at 1 p.m.) 

To register for this free event, go to https://jgsi.org/Events-calendar. After you register, you will be sent a link to join the meeting. This webinar will be recorded so that JGSI’s paid members who are unable to view it live will be able to view the recording later.  

This is a rare opportunity to get deep inside the story of Jewish Records Indexing-Poland (JRI-Poland), an award-winning international project to create Internet-searchable access to the Jewish vital records of Poland. 

Diamond will present an update on JRI-Poland's revolutionary next-generation website and data management project and the current status of various records-indexing and extraction projects, the latest news on scanning of Jewish records in the Polish State Archives, and an overview of not-yet-announced projects for which hundreds of thousands of records have already been indexed. 

For more information, see https://jgsi.org or phone 312-666-0100.

A Google search came up with this page at the National Library of Russia website. It has links to old Odessa newspapers, and at least some are available as PDFs.

In England cute children are often referred to as cutie as a term of endearment and this can stick after childhood. It is sometimes miss-spelt as Cuttie,

Looking for info about William Siegler #names

Jo Ann Goldwater
 

Recently I received the results of my DNA from Ancestry, and the first name on my list of matches is William Siegler, who is listed as a first cousin. It is a very close match but I doubt that he is a first cousin, possibly a second. It is likely that he is related to me through my grandmother, Bertha Kahn Goldwater. She was born in Zhager, moved to Riga, and then to New York, and Montreal. I don’t know very much about the Kahn family and I would love to find out more about them. If anyone has some information about William Siegler, I would love to hear from you.

Thanks.

Re: Help - are there ever any notes to read after the Zoom talks/meetings? #belarus #germany #general

I there isn't already a handout available, I open up a blank Word document and take screenshots of the screens with info I need to revisit and add notes under the screenshots. I crop the screenshots to eliminate extraneous info and then make the screenshot larger so it is more readable. I then save the Word document with the name of the presentation so I can find it and refer back to it.

Yes, go back to their online database and put in the name of the society without any name and up will come all those buried in that section.

HAIMA/HAIME HOCHMAN Immigration #usa

Felissa Lashley
 

It was told to me that when my grandfather immigrated to the port of
Boston on the SS Corean, arriving July 5, 1907 under the name of
NOCHIM DRUBITZKY, he travelled with HAIMA/HAIME HOCHMAN who went to
St. Joseph, Missouri. I would like to find the record of HAIMA HOCHMAN
so that I can fill in any information about a blood connection and
have not been able to find HAIMA HOCHMAN. It does say in one of his
census documents that he arrived in 1907. I do have the records for my
grandfather.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thank you,

Mike,

Try Ukrainian online periodicals archive:

It does look a bit complex to search on the site, and it appears that even if you click on English at top of page, the results are not in English.

Hope this helps,

 Состоялось в городе Ленчин 15-го (27-го) мая 1870 года в 10 часов утра явился лично Абрам-Бенжамин Блионес, поденщик, житель города Ленчин, 26-и лет.  В присутствии свидетелей Боруха-Лейба Гофмана, сапожника, 56-и лет и Йоселя Фатерлойфа, религиозного служителя, 51-го года, оба жители города Ленчин и предъявили нам младенца мужского пола, который родился в городе Ленчин 10-го (22-го) мая в 2 часа дня, от законной жены Ганы-Гендли урожденной Боренштейн, 20-и лет.  Младенцу при обрезании было дано имя Фроим Блионес.  Акт сей присутствующим прочитан, которые объявили, что они неграмотны.  Отец ребенка добавил, что он отсутствовал дома в связи с работой и это привело к позднему объявлению о рождении ребенка.

 It took place in the city of Lenchin on May 15 (27), 1870 at 10 o'clock in the morning, Abram-Benjamin Bliones, a day laborer, a resident of the city of Lencin, 26 years old, appeared in person. In the presence of witnesses Borukh-Leib Hoffmann, a shoemaker, 56 years old, and Yosel Vaterloif, a religious minister, 51 years old, both residents of the city of Lenchin presented us with a male baby who was born in the city of Lenchin on the 10th (22nd) May at 2 pm from the legal wife of Ghana-Gendlya, née Borenstein, 20 years old. The infant was given the name Froim Bliones during circumcision. This act was read to those present, who declared that they were illiterate. The child's father added that he was away from home due to work and this led to the late announcement of the child's birth.

I’m trying to find City Lenchin on the Google map but it is not such City on the Poland map.  I found a small village in Ukraine named “Linchyn” not so far from Lublin.

Zoom has a function that allows recording.  It may be wise to ask permission before doing so.

Dear Group,

In my continuing search of my roots in Moravia I found a document relating

book of the Hranice Jewish houses and apartments,

Re: former Odessa cemetery #ukraine

Ariel Parkansky
 

Hi Mike,

I've checked the All Odessa Database from the Odessa Kehilalinks (https://kehilalinks.jewishgen.org/odessa/) but I haven't found your Yasnes.
There is already a book indexed about the Odessa Jewish Cemetery Tombstones but it dates from 1899.

There's a project ongoing for indexing the Odessa Vital Records Indexes from 1875 to 1920 (births, marriages and deaths). We have currently only one volunteer working on the translations so it will take some time.
Part of the births has already been published.
We are currently working on the marriages.

Best,

Weitz Bakery on West Adams, Los Angeles #usa

Debby Gincig Painter
 

My Great-Grandfather and his brother started Weitz Bakery when they came to Los Angeles in the 1920s. 3 generations worked there until it was sold and became Brooklyn Bagel Bakery in 1953. With all so much of the family (in-laws branches included) working there, not a single person in our family has a picture of the bakery-inside or out.

I don't know if this is ok to ask here or not, but considering the popularity of the bakery and then their delicatessen, I am hoping someone in the L.A. area might have an old photo they'd be willing to share. I've contacted Brooklyn Bagel Bakery with no luck and am waiting on a call back from Jewish Historical Society of SoCal.
 
Thank you in advance from me and 3-5th generations of descendants.
