Re: Deutsch family tree on Geni going back to the 14th century #hungary

Beth Long
 

Yes, Balázs Déri's Deutsch tree is only hypothetical when it gets past about 1780-1800. To do an audit we did Y-DNA testing of direct male descendants various of his "branches", and they do not all match. Unfortunately Balázs (who is also a Deutsch, re-named to Déri), does not believe in DNA testing himself and declined to do it, though a free test was offered to him. So we don't know where his own branch fits in. If you are a Deutsch male, you can do a Y-DNA test yourself at FTDNA and join the Deutsch surname project to see whether/if you match any of the others.

If you own the page, you can edit any of the information, including the biography. You can also rearrange the order of the photos, but you cannot delete them.

Har Jehuda Cemetery does have a website with phone number and email address. 

http://www.harjehuda.com/index.htm

An article about the cemetery giving name of person in charge - https://www.jewishexponent.com/2021/01/07/har-jehuda-cemetery-struggles-as-business-declines/

  IAJGS mentions the cemetery part of article -  Contact: Ms Ann Moskowitz, President of Har Jehuda Cemetery, 8400 Lansdown Avenue, Upper Darby, PA 19082. Several years ago, she got volunteers to write the names on the stones that were legible. That list of names covers 6 pages. She may be willing to supply a photocopy. For the most part, they are first and last names only, but with multiple graves with a single surname, only the surname may be listed. Source: Bert Lazerow.

 

  • Har Jehuda Cemetery:
    8400 Lansdowne Avenue, Upper Darby, PA 19082; (215)-789-2104 (Lenark); Delaware County (Upper Darby Township); listed as Har Judah, Lenark Pa. Owners: Moscowitz family (Ann, Larry). Ann is a member of JGSP.
Hope this helps

Thanks, Benjamin , for your post. I am part of this Deutsch family! I am replying to the group, as this may be of general interest. This fellow, researcher Balacs DERI, is prolific! He has researched tens of thousands of people and is amazing. However, from what fellow researchers tell me, he is somewhat eccentric, and his sources are sometimes questionable. I have also noticed that his information changes over time. So, I am not sure what to make of him. Apparently, his family name was DEUTSCH, hungarianized to DERI. If his research is accurate, he has researched my grandmother's DEUTSCH family back hundreds of years. I am still not sure what to make of all this. I would love to hear all of your comments. If your replies may be of general interest then reply to the group. If not, reply to me privately (nathan@...).
Thanks,
Nathan Rosenshein, Montreal Canada.
Re: Looking for information Warnick/Vernik from Zvenigorod, Cherkassy Oblast, Ukraine #ukraine

Todd Warnick
 

Yes, Zvenigorod is also Zvenigorodka - but note that there is a similarly named town in Moscow Oblast in Russia, If your family is from Zvenigorod in Ukraine, Zvenigorodka is one and the same.

George Deutsch
 

Hi Benjamin

A friend of mine sent me a copy of your post so I have joined Jewish Gen just so I can respond to you.

I am George Deutsch and I think you are referring to my family tree. I am somewhat distantly connected to Ann-Hentsche-Auerbach through my mother's side of the family tree which goes back through Langbein and Spira families.

I am confused by what you say about the family tree going back to 1490. I had no idea that it goes back that far. I have only seen entries back to the 1700s. I would be most grateful if you could tell me how I could see entries going back before the mid 1700s.

I got involved in this when I stumbled across the entry about my grandmother, Paula Langbein, in this family tree about 5 years ago from memory. At that time, I had never done any genealogy and had no knowledge about how Geni works. I think I just copied that family tree and created the Deutsch family tree. I have added some information documented in papers left by my mother about both the Deutsch and Langbein sides of my family. That seems to have connected the Deutsch family tree through my wife's relatives. I found the data that was in the tree before I got to it quite accurate. I did make a few changes and did briefly connect with the people who created it.

I am still an utter novice in this field.

I looking forward to hearing from you

Regards

George Deutsch, Melbourne, Australia
July 2021 Summary of IAJGS Records Access Alert #jgs-iajgs #records #general

Jan Meisels Allen
 

As mentioned previously, every month I post a listing of the IAJGS Records Access Alert topics from the previous month for you to see the variety of issues…some were posted on this discussion group but most were not—all postings are included below.  The following are the summaries for the month of July, 2021.  In order not to miss out on important information it is worthwhile for you to be subscribed to the Records Access Alert. Without records, genealogists cannot do genealogy –making certain that we retain access and gain access where it is impaired is every genealogists' responsibility.

The Board and 200+ members of the San Francisco Bay Area Jewish Genealogical Society applaud long-time member for being elected Secretary of the IAJGS. Many of us are very familiar with Ron’s wide-ranging experience in genealogy, as well as creating ‘systems’ that help people brainstorm and think creatively. I’m sure he will put all these (and other skills) to good use in his new ‘career.’

SCHVARCZ & FABULA - Miskolc #hungary

Rony Golan
 

Dear all,

I am seeking contact with family members of the SCHVARCZ (FEKETE) family of Miskoc, Hungary:

Jozsef SCHVARCZ married Szeren FABULA in Miskolc in 1899. He was the son of Moszes SCHVARZ & Lina KREIS. She was the daughter of Jozsef FABULA & Fanny-Rebekka FRIEDMAN.

Seems that they had 13 children for whom I already have the vital records:

Juliana (b. 1899)
Bela (b. 1914)
Regina
Andor
Margit
Lajos (b. 1901)
Ignacz (b. 1890)
Erzsebet
Ilona
Dezso (David)
Geza (b. 1895)
Terez
Samuel

For some members I found Pages of Testimony.

I am looking for people who are related to this very family, and wonder if anyone here recognizes this family.

Please reply privately.

Thank you!

Jewish Records from Gomel (Homel) Belarus #belarus

Michelle Sandler
 

I just found out my Husband's maternal Mebel family may have
originated in Gomel (Homel) Belarus and not Barysaw Belarus as I have
always thought for 37 years. I tried looking at Family Search,
JewishGen Family Finder and Routes to Roots and I have found nothing.
What is the availability of Jewish records from this town? JewishGen
seems to be broken at the moment.

Re: Mogilev-Podolsky and Shargorod 2020 Updates #ukraine #records #translation #yizkorbooks

Hi,

I made a donaton but since Phyllis's email isn't complete on this page, I was unable to send the recept. I wanted to inquire if there is an update?
Those of my TEPLITKSY family who left M-P for the US left between 1906-1921, but I have not been able to find any vital records, voter or revision lists for them prior to their leaving( I don't think they were landowners but all tailors). Of those who stayed -- two brothers and their famiies -- one perished completely and the other almost in its entirety during the Holocaust. I was able to track descendents (in Israel and actually still living in M-P) from that latter famly, but very much want to give names to the faces in the pictures I have of the first family. In this case, vital records during the 1900s would be incredibly helpful. I was told my BERG family arrived in M-P during hte 1900s from Kamentz-Podolsky but again, have found no vital records to support their existence in M-P either. 

Anyway, thank you for the work you are doing. If you want to look up the donation, it is under Invoice #: 916103999. 

Thank you,
Wendy Kalman

Interesting topic, I just read on the history of registration plates: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vehicle_registration_plates_of_Romania#1908_-_1966 and http://plaque.free.fr/eur/ro_histor.html
You could try to inquire with The Romanian Automobile Club http://plaque.free.fr/eur/ro_histor.html first. Otherwise you could try to inquire with this authority https://www.drpciv.ro/ but good luck with it :) 

BTW, the expropriation and deportation of Jews from Romanian villages to the county capitals was done by the Romanian Government, not Garda de Fier (although the latter were part of the government for ~4 months earlier in 1940). And there were no Germans involved in this, it was the Romanians' doing in its entirety... 
My father touches briefly on this in a short album - book about our family which we published in Hebrew https://www.amazon.com/dp/1729799957 and Romanian https://www.amazon.com/dp/1727812476. Himself and his parents went through the same thing. If you read either language I could send you a pdf version... 

Best,
Theo Rafael
