Mogilev-area maps #belarus

dardasht@...
 

David, et al.

Tomorrow I am taking my Mogilev maps to have them enlarged so we
may have an accurate (as far as these maps go) village list. Can these be
scanned or utilized in someway on the web site?
David, as you know, the place names are written in a "quaint"
sort of spelling (combo German-Russian in sometimes 'old' German script).
An enlargement will help us all.
I believe there are seven sheets to this series, and I will
enlarge them up to 2x3 on the blueprint machines.

Schelly Dardashti

Mogilev: TALALAY, KONVISER, BERLIN, MERL/MERLIN, RATNER, DISKIN, KORE,
STAROSELSKI, ALTSHULER, SCHULMAN, ROGOVER, JASSEN/YASSIN and many many
more. Also connections to Baranovichi, Bobruisk, Chaussy, Starodub,
Gorki. Main shtetls: Vorotinschtina (about 18km south-southwest of
Mogilev) and Zaverezhye. Also, everywhere TALALAY/TOLLIN/TALLIN
(TALL-TOLL) everywhere. In former USSR: Minsk, St. Petersburg, Moscow,
Siberia, Mogilev, etc. Israel, USA, Canada, UK, etc.

Moderator's Note: Schelly, thank you for your efforts. After you extract
all the location names on the Mogilev map, please post them on the
this Discussion Group. Also, please scan the maps and e-mail the file to
Risa Heywood <risah@ibm.net>, our hardworking Belarus SIG Webmaster. In
fact, if anyone else has maps, documents, appropriate photos >from Belarus,
please scan them and send the file to Risa. If you can't scan them, Risa
has a scanner and may be able to scan them for you and return your
originals. Please contact her before you mail anything to her for
scanning.

Perhaps there is some on the discussion group that can tell us in what
gubernia Illya and Huta are located.


I rec'd an email regarding a Vilna Gubernia discussion group that broke
down the Uzeds and uchastoks in that gubernia. Ilya is listed in the Vilna
gubernia, the second uchastok. It is also listed in the Vileika Uzed, the
second uchastok. Not sure at what point historically the Vileika Uzed
broke off >from Vilna.

Moderator,

This is my first posting to the Belarus SIG.
According to a couple old family trees >from my wife's family, her
LEVIN ancestors came >from a place called either Palopokow, Malow,
Russia, or Palupska, Mvolov, Russia. I have tried several atlas sources,
both printed and on-line, but have been unable to find anything like
these names. Does anyone know what they are now called and where are
they located?
(I suspect the place may be in the Mogilev gubernia because some
deceased members of the family are buried in a part of the Waldheim
Cemetery in Forest Park, IL., that is identified as a Mogilov
landsmanshaften cemetery.}
Another part of my wife's family, named SERLIN, TSERLIN or ZAIRLIN,
according to an old family tree, came >from Rossna (formerly Petree),
Mogolov. The ShtetlSeeker on the JewishGen site lists Rasna (Ryasno),
Rossono (Rossony) and Rozhno, all three at different distances and
directions >from Minsk. Does anyone know which of these three locations
was formerly known as Petree?
Thanks for your help.

Sincerely,
Martin Fischer
Oak Park, IL.

Researching:
In Mogilev: Bessie, Yaakov and Samuel SERLIN, TSERLIN or ZAIRLIN.
In Belarus: Jacob Samuel LEVIN, Menachem Mendel LEVIN, Yaakov LEVIN.
In Minsk and Kiev: Leib LEVIK, Jana (Chana) OSTROWSKA, Abraham LEVIK and
Rebekah LEVIK and Isaac LEVIN (changed name >from LEVIK).
In Pinsk: Avraham Moshe KAGAN and Rabbi Eliezar KAGAN.
In Motol: Shraga Feivel STEINBERG, Sarah Feigel STEINBERG, Osher
STEINBERG and a Steinberg brother who changed his last name to
LIFSCHITZ.
In Pinsk and Minsk: Moshe KOLODNY.

Re: Specify minsk Gubernia or District. #belarus

I just finished reading Vitaly Charny's post. Is it referring to Minsk
District or Minsk Gubernia? I didn't realize the need to have this specified
until I read the emails between Oleg and Dave regarding the Minsk research
update.

Popervale #latvia

JoyceField <jfield@...>
 

Dear Latvia SIG members:

A few months ago we posted a singular work, called Popervale (Poperwahlen,
Dunangen), Latvia, on the Yizkor Book web site. This unpublished
manuscript on the forced labor camp KZ-Lager Poperwahlen, Latvia, was
written and donated by L. M. Bruyn. Click on
<http://www.jewishgen.org/Yizkor/translations.html> and scroll down to
Popervale. You are in for an unusual experience.

I wrote the following in the Preface to this document:

" Upon the suggestion of Leonard Preger of Mendele, the author wrote to us
and asked if we might be interested in putting this [document ] on the
yizkor book web site. This work has not been published, but photocopies
have been distributed to a few persons and organizations. The author's
sole intent in writing to us was to get the story of Poperwhalen known."

Lucas Bruyn wrote the following introduction to the document:

"While on a one year stay in Latvia, the writer was asked by a survivor of
the forced labour camp, KZ-Lager Popperwahlen, if he could provide any
information concerning Dutch labourers who had been in the camp >from 1943
until the end of the war. A request for information sent to the Institute
for War Documentation of the Netherlands. The response was disappointing,
no documents or studies on the subject were found in the archives of the
Institute.

Eventually the writer obtained some information about the camp through
other channels. These confirmed the presence of Dutch in Popperwahlen and
other places in Latvia and explained their status. They had been sent out
by a Dutch organisation, the Nederlandsche Oost Bouw (Dutch East Building
Company : N.O.B.), either as volunteers or as forced labourers. Armed with
this information the writer once again approached the Institute. He
discovered that the archives of the N.O.B. were in Amsterdam.

The first part of the study, Popperwahlen, was written in Latvia, based on
information gathered through correspondence and during field trips to the
location of the camp. Besides stating the few facts available it describes
the difficulties encountered by an amateur historian trying to uncover
facts about an episode in Dutch history which is not very popular in
Holland itself. The reminiscences of the survivor's own experiences of the
camp are also included.

After returning to the Netherlands the writer visited the archives of the
Institute for War Documentation as well as that of the Ministry of Justice.
Lack of time and resources limited the research to a few of visits, while
the amount of material proved to be large. Some facts and numbers
indicating the scope of the Dutch involvement of the German Ostland-Politik
were collected and put into an appendix to the original article, together
with suggestions and sources for further research."

I hope you will be sufficiently intrigued by Mr. Bruyn's introduction to
read the entire document.

Her phone number may be:

Perhaps other C. Schriebers are listed in the LA phonebook, should this not
be the correct one.
