Shalom all,

I would appreciate help in translating those 3 mid 19th century Russian texts taken from birth and marriage dcouments and revision lists. Regarding the first document, only entry number 47 is relevant and not the one above it.

Thank you very much,

Avi Chari, Israel

Hello

I've posted two records in Records for which I need a translation. It is on ViewMate at the following addresses:

https://www.jewishgen.org/viewmate/viewmateview.asp?key=VM91145

https://www.jewishgen.org/viewmate/viewmateview.asp?key=VM91175

Both records are from 19th century Berdychiv, and I believe (given my take on the surname - Nesanelis) family or close family related.
Please respond via the form provided on the ViewMate image page.

Thank you very much.

I am still trying to confirm a family connection between the HOROWITZ
and ABRAMOWITZ families from Novarodok. Both families, it seems left
Novarodok during the latter part of the 19th century when one
branch-Shimon HOROWITRZ came to Petach Tikva in Israel and another
branch went to Hartford, Ct. (Rabbi Isaac Simcha HOROWITZ -d.1936).

Many members of my ABRAMOWITZ family call the HOROWITZs from both
sides (Israel and USA) cousins. One of the HOROWITZ descendants
(Waxman) said to me that he had seen a family tree on which appeared
our ABRAMOWITZ but did not remember where and when it was.

What seems a possiblity is a family note stating that one of my
ABRAMOWITZ ancestors was a brother of Rabbi David-Rabbi of Novarodok
during the 19th cent. not family known to me-and that his son Moshe
married a HOROWITZ from Minsk and adopted that family name as his
own.

I would like to make contact with any of the Horowitzs or descendants
of of the above Rabbi David (son of Moshe of Kletzk) who can possibly
confirm our connection.

In my great great uncles diary he mentions that a Rabbi Mordechai
(Ruzhiner) of Pinsk was a relative of his mother. He doesn't mention
the name ZACKHEIM but I understand that the Rav of Pinsk during the
mid 19th cent. was Rabbi Mordechai ZACKHEIM who had been born in
Ruzhin and died in Pinsk in 1856 (or 59).

I would like to contact anyone who may know about our connection. I've
seen George Sackheim's "The Scattered Seeds" which didn't help me very
much.

My ancestors who lived in Karlin were Shlomo and Sarah Hinde KANTOR .
Shlomo passed away in Karlin around 1860-1870 and Sarah Hinde came to
Jerusalem with four orphans. My uncle who wrote the above diary was
Chaim Dov KANTOR who is a well known pioneering personality who lived
in Shfeya and Zichron Yacov (Israel).

Another uncle of mine (Chaim Dov's nephew) also writes that his Karlin
grandparents were relatives of Reb. Chaim of Volozhin who deceased a
during the first decades of the 19th century.

I have not been able to access the Ukraine group or the moderators for a single-person question, so I'll try here and perhaps someone will be able to guide it along.

For a book, I am seeking information on Paul CHOURAPINE, born 8 March 1901 in Odessa. In autumn 1939, he was deported from Greece to France where he joined the Foreign Legion in Marseilles. Chourapine was transferred to the 22nd RMVE, a regiment affiliated with the Legion comprised of East European Jews and Spaniards. In June 1940, Chourapine was captured by the Germans in Somme and held in the Frontstalag at Cahlons-sur-Marne. Chourapine was regarded as a White Russian but any details are unknown. His story, beyond his being held at Chalons, is unknown.

I have checked French resources (await replies from SHD Pau and Caen), a posted letter to BA Freiburg, and an email to iac@...

Many thanks

I am saddened to read this. I met him when my aunt and mutual cousin went to Eastern Europe in 2011. He spent many hours with us in the Jewish Historical Institute, showing us around the museum and taking us back to his office where his walls were filled with binders of Jewish history. 

https://www.mcclatchydc.com/article75169487.html was the story I wrote about that trip.

May memories of him be a blessing.

Hi Gary, have you (or Alex) tried reaching out to Wikipedia?  I believe edits to pages are tracked, and backups preserved.  They might be able to shed some light on this.

Crazy, huh --.

Hilary Henkin

In the last few days, somebody methodically went through most (but NOT all) of the pages posted by Alex Krakovsky on Wikipedia and changed their URLs - everything is the same, the files are still there, but the directory "archives" became "archive" and the initial slash changed to a colon.

This renders all the links we have posted on our spreadsheets and referenced to researchers inoperative……..

I have emailed Alex K asking him:  somebody is moving all the pages on all the archives (from say “...Архіви/ДАЧкО” to “...Архів:ДАЧкО“). Do you know what is happening and why? - His answer - one word:  “No.”

I am told there was no discussion of this in JRoots nor on FB.

We have no idea why this is being done and what purpose it might accomplish but it is a fact we need to deal with, and I am now starting to get inquiries from researchers telling me they can’t find the wiki pages…..

Note that the main page referencing Jewish records can still be found at
https://uk.wikisource.org/wiki/Архіви/єврейське_містечко

We are starting the massive work to incorporate these changes in our internal spreadsheets.  If anyone has issues finding a file in the near future please contact me and I will try to help find it.--

Dear Genners  
As many of you will be aware most Jewish towns today have a dedicated facebook group for researchers. Sadly nothing has been available for Kutno in Gubernia Warszawa, Province Lodz and surrounding areas of Poland, so I have endeavoured to rectify this by launching a facebook group to provide a nice friendly atmosphere to connect people, help with DNA and paper research and learn about the town of our ancestors. The group settings are private to ensure members will be in a safe environment.

Many thanks.

This Friday's Yizkor book excerpts contain several chapters on the celebration of Purim.

So joyous that the Yizkor book of Klobuck, Poland notes that during the holiday, Jews are permitted to drink alcohol to the point that they cannot tell the difference between Haman and Mordechai, referring to the Persian villain Haman who wanted to kill all Jews in the empire, and the Jew Mordechai who defied him
