Hi Sue,

Please also see https://database.budapestjewishcemetery.com=0A=
This has burials for Kozma utca with a map function. The great advantage vs=
Oroklet is that you can search without the need to type diacritical letter=
s of the Hungarian alphabet.

FGS and NGS Announce Intent to Merge

Jan Meisels Allen
 

 

 

  

 

 

At the opening session of the Federation of Genealogical Societies (FGS) conference in Washington D.C  it was announced that the  FGS and National Genealogical Society (NGS) intend to merge.  The two organizations, will form one consolidated group that will continue to operate as the National Genealogical Society. The merger will be completed October 1, 2020. Until then, both organizations will continue discussions and both will hold their 2020 conferences as planned: FGS in Kansas City and NGS in Salt Lake City. The first merged conference will be held in May 2021 in Richmond Virginia. That conference will expand from 4 to 5 days allowing for a society management additional day.

 

The FGS is an umbrella organization for genealogy societies and the NGS is an organization predominately of individuals with organizations allowed to join but without a vote. At the joint press conference conducted by both societies’ presidents, Ben Spratling, President of NGS, said  NGS will incorporate FGS in society related activities and societies will have voting rights. The difference between societies and individuals in voting  is still being worked on during this “engagement” period.

 

The periodicals will be “merged” with the FGS Forum being incorporated into the NGS Magazine.

 

FGS, NGS and IAJGS jointly sponsor the Records Preservation and Access Committee  which will continue, but after the merger/marriage with two sponsors not three.

JewishGen Course for Galician Research - Sept 6-28 #general

Phyllis Kramer
 

Did you have ancestors >from Galicia? Would you like to understand the
resources for researching them? This two part course is designed for
those relatively new to Galician research, but know the town of
origin. We begin with online town sources, and continue with surname
research via vital records using four major websites: Routes to Roots,
JRI-Poland, Gesher Galicia and JewishGen.

We focus on developing a methodology for foreign research,
including: (1) the Family Document containing all the necessary
information about your family branch, (2) the Research Table of where
you've searched, (3) Your ToDo list, (4) contact list of who is researching your
surname or shtetl, and (5) a descriptive paragraph to connect with
fellow researchers and professionals. Please note: this course does not include
research in US or UK records; you need to know the immigrants name and
town >from prior research.

Course Material will include an online, downloadable textbook.
Galicia II (2020) will cover the historical background, the Polish
Archives, over 50 different source websites (census, military,
directories etc), Holocaust, languages, hiring a
researcher and more!

This is a personal mentoring program (unique to JewishGen education)
which features an online FORUM where you'll be encouraged to post one
ancestral branch (one surname), set goals for your research, and work
one-on-one with the instructor to research vital records for your
branch, and ask your questions. Our classes have no scheduled times as
our students are
international, enabling everyone to read/view/post at leisure.
Registration is open to 15 students.

Family Roots in Romania #romania

Ben Ring <ben.rng@...>
 

Good Afternoon,

My wife has hit a dead end in family research. Her great grandfather,
Charles Morris Symonds was born in Romania in approximately 1882 (give
or take) and emigrated >from Romania to the US in approximately 1903,
at least according to the Boston census of 1910. We found him on the
Boston 1910 census and my wife has his burial information, but we have
no record of where in Romania he lived or which port he came in at
(Boston or New York), or if he had relatives in the US already. On the
census, his birthplace is listed as Rumania, but being that we don't
know where in Romania he came from, there's the possibility that he
might've actually been >from present day Moldova.

We know that he probably Anglicized his name >from whatever it was in
Romanian, but my father in law and wife have no idea what it was
before he anglicized it.

We'd be grateful for any guidance or direction that anyone could provide us!

Thanks so much,
Ben Ring
