Re: Searching for Records on Isaac Gottlieb and His Wife Minni Feldt #poland #records #galicia

A few records about Isaac Gottlieb and his family that perhaps might interest you, 

Marriage record (March 1892)
https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:24H5-2YH

Death record (Nov 1945) - mother's name is probably wrong
https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:24M4-543

Birth record of daughter Jennie (1894)
https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:2WSQ-DJX

Birth record of son Benjamin (1896)
https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:2WSY-6K5

I am almost certain that this is his Declaration of intention (1907) - according to the 1910 census he had filed first papers although,  apparently, he did not complete  the procedure -  Isaac Gottlieb, born in 1867 in Austria, arrival in 1890, occupation tailor, residence Brooklyn very close to the address they were living per the 1905 census. (attached)

According to this document he sailed from Hamburg 


Name: Itzig Gottlieb
Gender: männlich (Male)
Departure Age: 26
Birth Date: abt 1864
Residence Place: Kollenszaw, Österreich
Departure Date: 26 Apr 1890
Departure Place: Hamburg, Deutschland (Germany)
Arrival Place: New York; Baltimore
Occupation: Händler
Ship Name: Russia
Captain: Reuter
Shipping Clerk: Hamburg-Amerikanische Packetfahrt-Actien-Gesellschaft
Shipping Line: Hamburg-Amerikanische Packetfahrt-Actien-Gesellschaft
Ship Type: Dampfschiff
Ship Flag: Deutschland
Accommodation: Zwischendeck
   
Arrival in NYC 
Name: Iszig Gottlieb
Gender: Male
Ethnicity/ Nationality: Austrian
Age: 26
Birth Date: abt 1864
Place of Origin: Austria
Departure Port: Hamburg, Germany
Destination: USA
Arrival Date: 9 May 1890
Arrival Port: New York, New York, USA
Ship Name: Russia
If this is the correct Isaac Gottlieb  (as I believe) then he was born in  Kolbishov,  Galicia (present-day  Poland)

Hey Daniel,

This looks really neat!

What match accuracy would be the threshold for a realistic match? I’m seeing a match score of .60-.70 for non-matches. When I worked at a face-matching startup, the threshold we relied on was mid-upper .90. 

Can your ML engine can be harnessed to also enhance text OCR? Do you have plans to add training buttons to the UI? 

Would it be possible to surface names and locations from USHMM? 


Thanks,

Steerage Experience #general

Marc Hodies
 

Apart from the movies and some singular experiences, for the majority of immigrants from 1906 to 1924, I wondered what it was like to be in steerage for up to 3 weeks.

Specifically,

1.  How often could they come up to the deck to get fresh air? How long could they stay on the deck?
2. Did they sleep in hammocks or beds? How crowded was it?
3. Steerage temperatures for both summer or winter? 
4. How did they eat?  Was food supplied? Supplied on the top deck or in steerage?  3 meals a day?
5. Did most get sea sickness and eventually recover a few days to a week later while still at sea?
6. Bathroom facilities? Did they change clothes over the course of the voyage?
7.  Was the baggage always near them?

Thanks!

Re: Papa/Pupa #hungary

stephen@...
 

I have been connecting the Papa families as many of them are related to each other. These are mostly the Neolog rather than the Orthodox families. Once my file gets updated on the Jewishgen family tree, the names I have completed will be publicly available. I’m also hoping to update the Papa ghetto list, as some what was transcribed by Yad Vashem is inaccurate and incomplete. For example, they never made use of addresses which helps to identify family groupings. Any offers of help to enter names into a spreadsheet would be much appreciated.

Re: a question on Jewish Cemetery of Worms #germany

David Shapiro
 

Rabbi Moshe Sofer-Schreiber of Pressburg in his responsa to Yoreh Deah no. 342 discusses this question concerning the cemetery in Eibschutz which also had this custom. He explains there custom is to bury in the way one travels from Europe to Israel, which could either first south and then east or first east and then south, so either way is acceptable. For other prayers which should be facing Israel he says to face to the southeast.

As far as I remember the graves facing south are those of high rabbis. And the reason is that the other graves - eastward - face the cathedral of Worms.

a question on Jewish Cemetery of Worms #germany

Metin Delevi
 

Dear all,
 
Recently I heard that the tombstones at the Jewish Cemetery of Worms - Germany ( part of Schum) are facing southward and not to the east as is the tradition.
 
The only answer I found was that the first Jews buried in this cemetery had İtalian names ( could it be Kolonymus?) so its tomb faced south i.e. Italy. And the others continued this tradition.
 
Is there any other known reason? If so, how the Hachamim of the time let this happen?
 
Thanks in advance for the clarification.
 
Best regards

Witnessing Holocaust History: From Generation to Generation – Making a Case for Genealogy Monday, Aug 02, 2021 10:00 AM - 10pm Perth time The Holocaust Awareness Museum and Education Center (HAMEC) in Philadelphia, World ORT in London, and the WE ARE HERE! Foundation in Perth, Australia, have newly partnered to provide an international experience of Holocaust education and remembrance to students around the world. This worldwide project commemorates the Holocaust, and provides opportunities for global Holocaust education. It engages the next generation of learners in understanding the importance of their own family histories, teaching how to research and record these. They are shown how to rebuild broken family chains using genealogical tools. Students learn how to describe and share their own discoveries and experiences and connect globally via Zoom, YouTube and Facebook. These online meetings include multi-language survivor interviews and testimonies as well as up to thirty language versions of the Partisans’ Song, and so resonates with students in their home languages, such as English, French, Spanish, Russian, Hebrew, Dutch and Bulgarian.

New Latvia & Estonia Research Division Website is Now Live #announcements #courland #latvia #JewishGenUpdates

Marion Werle
 

The Latvia & Estonia Research Division is happy to announce that our new website is now live at https://latvia.jewishgen.org. The website has been completely redesigned to ensure that researchers have access to the latest information on Latvian archival and other resources. About 80-85% of the website content is new. There is guidance for beginners as well as advanced researchers. Our Research section also provides detailed how-to instructions on navigating the Raduraksti (Latvian State Historical Archives) and FamilySearch websites to find Latvian records. The Holocaust section gives suggestions on how to find ancestors on the Latvian Names project. Our Regions and Towns section will let you know if your town is included in JOWBR, has a yizkor book, and/or has a Kehilalinks page.
 
This is just a high-level synopsis of the new website. We expect to add Estonian content soon. Please take some time to explore the website and let us know what you think at LatviaRD@.... 
 
Don't forget to join us at ourIAJGS conference meeting on Thursday, August 5, at 1:45 PM EDT (10:45 PDT), where we will give you further details.

Searching for Records on Isaac Gottlieb and His Wife Minni Feldt #poland #records #galicia

indy.crowley@...
 

I am seeking information on sources for one-line records for Isaac Gottlieb and his wife, Minnie Feldt.  The records available on JewishGen, JRI-Poland and other sources do not align with family remembrances. Isaac Gottlieb immigrated to New York City around 1888. He is not the same individual as an Isaac Abraham Gottlieb.  His father's name is remembered as Morris, most likely Moses (Moishe).  He immigrated from the Galicia region of then Austria-Hungary.  Minnie is probably not her given Yiddish name and the last name may have be Feld. She was born in 1871 and immigrated in 1887 or 1888 from the same region, but not the same town as Isaac. The towns or regions remembered were Drohobych and Peremyshliany (both now in Ukraine). I have not found arrival records or manifest for either. She is remembered as being from a relatively wealthy family.  Among their children were three born in the late1880's: Harry, Benjamin and Sadie. I have no information on siblings for either Isaac or Minnie.

Re: Godparents? #galicia

Nikki Nafziger
 

I apologize that it took me this long to figure out how to reply. My query is to Stephan Owen Parnes in particular, My great grandpa Hersch Leib Parnes was born in 1856. My Dad's Mom, Netti Parnes (Hersch Leib's first born) was born in 1880. The birth record I found said he was son of Uscher Stahl and Freude with Godparents Moses and Elkie Parnes. I'm trying to find out his parents and grandparents names.  The names Uscher Stahl and Freude are very confusing to me. The marriage you show in 1879 can't apply to his parents. I would love to be able to look up the original birth record, as you suggest. My problem is I'm such a technological dinosaur that I don't know what to put in the search engine, etc. Can you please tell me what specific steps to take? Do I put family search in the search engine....then Grodek Jewish family records? Please advise. Thank you. I'm hitting brick walls on going further back on any of my great grandparents. I can't even find what I found 15 years ago (when I last  devoted time and energy into tracing my family tree farther back). I'm first generation born in the United States. Both my parents were born in Oldenburg Germany, my Dad in 1915 and Harburg, Germany, my Mom in 1918. Both German Jews (all Jews. my 4 grandparents, greatgrandparents and the only greatgreat grandparents I've been able to find; researching 15 years ago). Thank you so much, in advance, for helping me. I really appreciate it. I have grandchildren I want to give copies of the family tree to. My name at birth (for genealogical purposes):

Nikki Renee Dresher.

Searching for 1936 marriage record Bobrka, Lwow, Poland #poland

Re: For researchers on Bohemian Jewry: looking for family name "Reichler" in Křešín #austria-czech

m.rind@...
 

Thanks to those who have replied to me off-site (I did not make the request for private replies; perhaps the moderator did this out of concern for the privacy of descendants). I just want to add here, for the unlikely event that someone should find this page in a search, that I have learned that the term "královický" refers to Dolní Kralovice, a village in the Benešov District about 20 km from Křešín. There is no královický district, but Dolní Kralovice was the site of an office of the Benešov District (Bezirksamt) at the time that the documents that I was looking at were written. Also, I have found some birth records for Křešín in the records of Dolní Kralovice.

Also, now that I have read the instructions more carefully, I know enough to write the name "REICHLER" instead of "Reichler" when posting here.

Maternal great grandmother, Shirlee Grobstein, from Bobriusk #belarus

Nancy N. Smith
 

Hi, 
I recently found out that my maternal family was originally from Bobriusk. Searching for Harry Kohn (great grandfather) (Cohen, Kohen, Cohn), Lena (my grandmother), George (great uncle) and Shirlee Grobstein (great grandmother). Lena was born approximately 1900, George - approximately 1904. 

what I’ve been told, by Lena, that Shirlee was killed in the pogroms. I’ve found information that Harry came to the states circa 1906…Lena and George circa 1909-1910, and lived in upstate New York, before moving to Cleveland, Oh.
My questions are…was Kohn a popular name during that time period? Is there any way to find out if there’s a grave for Shirlee? What port would they have left from?
Thank you in advance! This has been a major brick wall for me!
