Send an e-Greeting to Friends and Family in honor of Rosh Hashana 🍎🍯 #JewishGenUpdates

Avraham Groll
 

Dear Friends,

As we approach Rosh Hashanah, we invite you to honor friends and family by sending them a JewishGen e-Greeting and letting them know that you are thinking of them! Not only will you strengthen your connections, but each greeting will support JewishGen's important work of preserving family history and heritage for future generations.

To send a greeting, follow these easy steps:

  1. Visit https://www.jewishgen.org/JewishGen-erosity/honors.asp
  2. Enter any donation amount above $10. (Gifts of $100 or more qualify for membership with Value Added Services).
  3. Select "In Honor of."
  4. Enter the name of the honoree, to whom you would like to send a greeting.
  5. In the "Reason of Occasion" box, leave your Rosh Hashana greeting.
  6. Enter the name of the honoree's email. JewishGen will then immediately notify the honoree that a gift has been made in their honor, and direct them to view it on our website.

We hope you will enjoy this opportunity to connect with friends and family, while simultaneously supporting JewishGen's important mission.

Shana Tovah, Happy New Year, and THANK YOU for being part of the JewishGen family.

Re: Morris and Matilda Lyons #germany #unitedkingdom

Hello David

It is highly likely that Lyons is an anglicized name. Are there any marriage/death records for the children or even the wife that may show the mother's maiden name?

Re: Editable family tree forms #general

GenoPro is not a native Mac program. It is designed for Windows.
https://genopro.com/faq/is-there-a-macintosh-version-of-genopro.aspx
If you're not familiar with running a Windows emulator on your Mac, this probably isn't for you.

I did a web search for "editable family tree forms" (without the quotes) and there are some basic tree, person and family forms available.

I've used a spreadsheet in the past, I can add columns and rows as I get more information. I do love spreadsheets for their sorting capabilities.

prenuptial agreement #poland

Frank Szmulowicz
 

Many marriage certificates from Poland in the 19th century (and also in the 20th century) state that

"Nowożeńcy umowy przedślubnej nie zawarli,"

which translates as "The newlyweds did not conclude a prenuptial agreement." The same stipulation can be found in Russian wedding certificates of the era. What did this mean in the condition of the times and what was its purpose?

Thank you.

Sunday, Sept. 12, 2 pm - JGSNY: Here Comes the 1950 US Census! #jgs-iajgs #usa

Jewish Genealogical Society NY Meeting
Sunday Sept. 12, 2021 at 2 p.m. EDT
Zoom Webinar

Here Comes the 1950 US Census! What to Expect

Speaker: Joel Weintraub

The 1950 United States Census will become public on April 1, 2022. Joel Weintraub will prepare us for its debut by covering such topics as what is a census, who uses the census, census caveats, how the 1950 census was taken, training of enumerators, census sampling, census questions, and a summary of the results. He will conclude with a discussion of his and Steve Morse’s 1950 census location tools, online right now at the stevemorse.org website and, time permitting, will demonstrate searches on the One-Step Unified Tool.
 
Joel Weintraub, a New Yorker by birth, is an emeritus Biology Professor at California State University, Fullerton. He became interested in genealogy over 20 years ago and volunteered for nine years at the National Archives in southern California. Joel helped produce location tools for the 1900 through 1950 federal censuses and the NY State censuses for NYC (1905, 1915, 1925) for the Steve Morse “One-Step” website. He has published articles on the U.S. census and the 72-year rule, as well as on the difficulties of searching Ellis Island passenger records and NYC census records. He has a YouTube channel that has his genealogy (and biology) talks at “JDW Talks.”

All are welcome; attendance is free, but registration is required:

Re: Hunting for Newman Eligator from Russia #russia

Simon Srebrny
 

I have done a little research into his family because of fiddly non-blood connections to my family and to the family of a friend of mine. I forwarded your post to that friend with the request that she forward it to her Eligator relatives. Don't know if she will follow through.

You can email me if you like. If you can't see my email address, then you can find me via the Jewish Genealogy Family Finder.

Eligator is a great name! Is it perhaps a shortened version of Introligator?

Isabel, thanks for response. I am familiar with Intriligator. Knew someone with that name. It made me wonder if it was a regional thing. Do you know the geographic origin of Intriligator?
Thanks again for input.

Who was Chaye Rechel Lev Lishe? #general #galicia #poland

Alan Reische
 

I have identified my g/grandfather Simon Reische, who on more than one
occasion appears as 'Simon Lishe' in census or death certificates.
Consequently, I'm searching both Lishe and Reische. I've also identified
Simon's father Abraham Max or Mordechai, with no surname, and his mother
as Sarah Knee or Knie.

Family Search has linked them with the 1892 marriage of a woman named
Chaye Rechel Lev Lishe, to a man named Mayer Gurfein. The image appears
on Viewmate 95116 at
https://www.jewishgen.org/viewmate/full.asp?ID=95116&loc=A&name=95116ChayeRechelLishe%2Ejpg
<https://www.jewishgen.org/viewmate/full.asp?ID=95116&loc=A&name=95116ChayeRechelLishe%2Ejpg>.


Chaye came from Rzeszow Voivodeship, which is the general area of
origination for my family. Her father is identified as Abraham Marios
Lishe, the Marios possibly being a mistranscription. A quick Ancestry
and Family Search check doesn't reveal anything further on her, and the
name is completely unknown to me.

I have two questions in logical order:

1. How does the Family Search algorithm operate? Does it suggest linkage
as a possibility or a likelihood?   If its only a possibility and not a
likelihood, I can treat this as a coincidence, since the name 'Lishe'
appears not infrequently in Dembica and surrounding areas.

2. If its based on likelihood, then do other members recognize her? Can
someone suggest an Anglicization of her given names?

Thanks for any suggestions you can provide. I'm guessing its a
coincidence but don't know enough about how Family Search operates to
feel comfortable in concluding it.

Re: Editable family tree forms #general

If you are looking for an editable graphical form of family tree, you might appreciate GenoPro. It is a simple client (resident on your Mac, not online) software, downloadable from its website. You can easily create a constantly modifiable tree according to additions and amendments, no limits to the number of people involved. You also can create a 'report', which summarizes all the data according to each person or each surname listed.

Sunday Lecture: Esther the Queen and the Brothers Buzaglo #events #sephardic

contact@...
 

Join Sephardic World this Sunday to hear Ali Erginsoy tell the amazing story
of a Sephardic adventurer, his wayward son, the wronged widow, and the
scheming brother-in-law.

The great historian Cecil Roth said of Joseph Buzaglo: “If in the annals of
the eighteenth century there was any career more fantastic than his, it has
escaped the notice of the present writer.” The lives of three of Joseph's
brothers, Moroccan Jews who emigrated to London in the 1730s, were almost as
eventful. And in the shadows, the figure of Joseph’s third wife, Esther
Reyna Bentubo - Esther the Queen - a woman who refused to be pushed down.

Ali Erginsoy is a former journalist at BBC television, including working on
their flagship news program, Newsnight. He is also a filmmaker and
consultant. He is a regular contributor to the discussion of Sephardic
genealogy.

The meeting is on Sunday 5 September 2021 at 11am in LA, 2pm NYC, 7pm
London, 8pm Paris/Amsterdam, and 9pm Jerusalem. Patrons can join us on Zoom.
Everyone is invited to join us for free
