Dear All,

I'm trying to identify a Hungarian Jew who lived in Berlin in the
1920s and early 1930s. His name was BRILL and he was originally from
Kecskemet. If anyone has an idea who this could be, please let me
know.

Thanks,

Michael Miller

Moderator: Have you checked the JewishGen Hungary database? It includes records
for family of Bertalan BRILL and Katalin SINGER who were living in Kecskemet,
Pest-Pilis-Solt-Kis-Kun megye in 1898 when their son Mihaly was born. Salom BRILL, b
born in Kecskemet died in Budapest in 1858.

Dear fellow genres;
I don't know if any of you have ever tried this, but my wife and I had
tried simply googling the last names in our families. One of the names
we had been looking for was OLIVIA. This website I had looked at was
very fascinating, if true. It indecated the Olivia's were Sephardic in
origin, with the name coming >from the fruit olive, as they were the
original, Israeli olive cultivators. It may be true, but my question
is, how to find a verifiabe connection after so many brick walls?
Where else to look?
Thank you so much,
David Edelman,

I am sure you will be amazed at the number of Vilnius vital records that
were translated during this 3 month period. Much of the credit has to go to
Dorothy Leivers who managed this particular part of the projectl

The translated records are now available on the appropriate District web
site. To see these records, as well as all records translated previously, a
$100 contribution per district is required. It will be 18 months before the
records will be added to the JewishGen Lithuania and Litvak SIG databases
and be available at no charge. Your contribution is good for five years,
Quite a bargain.

Go to www.litvaksig.org/contribute Scroll down to District research and
select the district of your choice. You will be sent an automatic receipt.
While you are there you may decide to contribute $36 and become a member
of Litvak SIG for 2014. This will allow you to access the membrers only
web site which contains a lot of very helpful information.
