I am researching someone in the 1858 Litvak census.  It says he was 13 years old in the previous revision date 1858.  What was the date of the previous revision?

Thanks.

There is a record in JewishGen's Maramaros vital records database that I'd like to see (the listing shows identifying info for book, page & row). According to https://www.jewishgen.org/new/maramaros-vital-records/, the files have been photographed. It also says that death records for these dates often have a lot of info. But I cannot find a link on the page to see the photos so I can try and find the page I want. Am I missing something? The only links I see take me back to JewishGen's search page. Thank you.

The sefer פנינים משלחן הגר"א על התורה is a compilation of Torah explanations and thoughts of the Vilna Gaon by Rabbi Dov Eliach. It was not written by the Gaon himself, but contains some material written by him and some attributed to him by others.  I searched pages 30 and 324 of my copy (Jerusalem 5757) and did not find mention of Rabbi Shmuel of Rassein. In fact, there is no footnote at all on p. 324. Perhaps there is a different printing or another volume of this work.

Thanks Alex and Odeda.

Rzeszow was the place I started many years ago. I was in touch with a genealogist there who could find no evidence of a family with my exact spelling, which is AFAIK unique amongst the Jewish community. (There are of course a multitude of variant spellings - Reich, Reisch etc. and the precise spelling is found amongst non-Jews.)

Oddly, my ggf's name on his death certificate is shown as 'Lishe'. The information for that likely came from a gg/uncle, with whom he lived when he died. While that might have been an overlooked clerical error at a difficult time, it's odd that it wasn't corrected if wrong. Using inference, which is all we have, and the recurrence of the name 'Lishe' or 'Lische' in other records, led me to search Hamburg under that identity. In turn, I found the 1880 passenger lists which were correct for dob's and - significantly - for his occupation as schneider/tailor, which is what he did once he arrived here.

My ggm's headstone identifies Przeclaw as the locus for her family, thanks to helpful translations I received here some years ago. That more or less corresponded to the place of residence on the manifest ('Prezlau, Osterreich'), once the German towns were screened out. The residence name on the manifest - which I've seen - is written in difficult handwriting but clearly enough seems to be Prezlau, Osterreich.

The Lische name with that spelling also occurs in the Debica/Dembitz records and is prominent (sadly) in Holocaust Museum records. I have found Lische family photos there, and while there are no immediate family resemblances. we're viewing them from 150+/- years later. Because the two communities are so close - 6 miles more or less - it strikes me as likely that the two groups were connected.

To Odeda's questions, I have seen the original manifest and while it's not easy, this particular data seemed clear enough. I really don't know how to answer the other questions at this date, as I have no family recollections to look to. I agree, Prezclaw was a tiny place, but it is specifically tagged as Austro-Hungarian, which filters out a lot of alternatives.

This rabbit hole is all I have at the moment, but the inferences seem strong enough to warrant pursuing them.

Hello,

I found a testemony in Yad va Shem about the brother of my GF's family (attached by).
My GF testified that Abraham Slomo was murded in the Iasi trains (1941).
Abraham was his father's name and it became his family name.
We do not find what happened to his wife, Bracha,  and one of his children.
About the second child, Pesia,  there is a testemony that she was killed in Aushwitz.
I will be happy to find if they servived or what happened with them.

Best Regards,
Shimi Karni,Israel

Does 'Prezlau' strike members as a likely match for Przeclaw or am I heading down a rabbit hole?

Did you see the handwritten manifest with your own eyes?
Are you sure the Hamburg agent was not sloppy or distracted and possibly dropped a letter when writing?
Did you take into account that the "ts" sound in German is written with a "z", whilst in Polish it's written with a "z"?
Do you know if the agent heard the name from a speaker, or copied it from a document? Accent may have affected his spelling, or noise his hearing.
Given the number of Jew in Przeclaw in 1880 (all of 299) it can't have been a very large, famous know place that the agent if Hamburg would necessarily identify and spell correctly.

I don't think there are any hard and fast rules to be followed here, but rather hypotheses, to be generated and left as "maybe" till you have further data. You can't really avoid dropping into rabbit holes every now and then - and eventually either come out saying "Wow, that was gold mine" or "Wow. that was some rabbit hole! I'll leave a sign there to remind me".

It is complicated to write this email without identifying our names but I am not sure if I should do so or not.  Our father left Germany in January 1939 traveling by ship to New York City by ship.  He spent a few months in New York working on his English.  He then moved to Augusta, Georgia  where he sold used cars.  He loved fast cars!  From  there he moved to New Orleans  and was repeating  an internship at a city hospital.  

Dad was half Jewish.  His father,  a physician  and medical researcher in Gottingen, Germany enlisted in the German Army.  Dad's  father  was killed when he fell from a horse  in October 1914 at the very beginning of WWI.  His mother, also a physician, but not Jewish,  returned to finish medical school.  Grandmother   left our father to be cared for  with her parents,  as  he was only almost two years old.      While in medical school,  she met and married our step grandfather, also not Jewish.   

In the 1930's, this  stepfather was a well known surgeon and academic physician in a major academic medical center in a  major city in  Eastern  Germany.  He was able to arrange our fathers medical school course work and rotations in different locations in Europe, and thus putting off or protecting him from the Nazi's. Dad was able to  complete   his studies for his medical degree.  

Just after Christmas of 1938 our grandmother drove with him to Hannover, Germany   where  he  had passage on a transport ship to America.

On December 7, 1941 our father was assigned  overnight and worked  on Obstetrics.  The next morning, December 8th, he was walking across the street with his professor discussing the cases from the overnight shift.  His plan that morning  was to  enlist  in the  United States Armed Forces.   As  they walked out of the hospital  to  the food service center, they were approached by 2 FBI agents who arrested Dad as an enemy alien.  Our father  was transported by train to internment camps,  first in Oklahoma,  and then on to Fort Lincoln Internment Camp near Bismark,  North Dakota.  Someone had reported our father to the FBI for being German!  He was on some governmnet watch list.  We believe this was because he was a great communicator and spent much of his time trying to educate those American's who would listen, to the perils of the then current political climate in Germany.   Our father spent the following 3 + years in this camp.  He was able to assist in the camp in some medical assignments.  Near the end of the war,  he was  paroled  to the ND State Tuberculosis Sanitarium where they were desperate for physicians to care for the large TB Population.

The complete irony of the story is that our  father was forced to leave Germany because he was half  Jewish, and then was a prisoner of war as a German enemy of the United States.  

Our mother grew up in a neighboring town, had recently completed Nursing School and finished her first job with the Air Force Training Program in Grand Forks, ND.  As the war was winding down, and her job finished, she  returned home and applied for and went to work at "the San" about the same time Dad started work there.  Their work identity numbers only one number apart, as they were the last two employees hired  that week!  They courted, married, had 5 kids and eventually our father became  Superentendent  of the Institution. 

With his large family and now  at age 46, we moved  to  Minneapolis  where he trained as a Radiologist with the VA Hospital and University of Minnesota.   Our family moved several times following his training.  First to Seattle where he spent two years as head of Radiology at the VA hospital while the physician who he replaced was on sabbatical  in Italy.   From there we moved to Minnesota where we lived and he practiced until his passing in 1975 at the age of 63.  He did return to Germany to visit his Mother and 4 half siblings until after the passing of the step grandfather.

The long story I have shared brings me to our current status.   Our family now consists of 23 people.   3 daughters, 2 sons, plus 2 spouses and 7 grandchildren.  ( 3) of the the grandchildren married have (so 3 additional spouses) and they have 6 great grandchildren between them.   I have concerns in the current political climate, that at some point in the next 3 or so years we may find the need to leave the United States.  I have read recently that we are eligible for German citizenship.  Any help or advise regarding this process would be appreciated.    

I joined the JewishGen web site in the process of searching for our father's family.  I have been successful in identifying his 3 aunts, their spouses and two dependents.  From what I can find,  none of his family perished in the Holocaust. The paternal siblings (3 great aunts) and great grandparents emigrated to England and New York and Philadelphia before WWII.   I may have located one adult descendent of one of the aunts who lived most  her adult life in England. I received one note from this gentleman, but since I responded, I have not had further response.  

I am hoping to locate and connect  with any in common descendants.

While visiting the American Jewish Historical Society Archives, Dr. Leibman found two eighteenth century ivory miniatures painted in watercolor. They were portraits of the ancestors of a wealthy Jewish heiress who donated them to the archives. Leibman traced the family back through New York, Philadelphia, London, Suriname and Barbados. But instead of the expected Sephardic ancestry, discovered a surprisingly complex and multiracial family.

Join us for this free Zoom event to learn more about the history, the records, and the journeys of this racially mixed Jewish family.
