Re: Search for Hawaiian- Jewish Death Notice #general

Steven Chall <steven.chall@...>
 

Where can I look up a death notice or obituary in Hawaii (probably
Honolulu) ?
The date is unknown but is definitely between 1982 and 1991 and the man
was
a US citizen, with a Social Security No., also unknown. Abe Nutkis

Abe,

Have you tried the SSDI using the person's name? If a common name,
include "died in Hawaii". This may help you zero in on the date AND
provide his SS#.

Re: finding obit lookup sources #general

Peter Blood asks:
Where does one find people to do a obituary lookup when all
that >is known is the name, place and date of death, but not the
specific newspaper? What sources are at my disposal?
Since you know the place of death, you would look at the
reference volume at your local public library called Gale
Directory of Publications and Broadcast Media which will give
you a list of newspapers published in the city/town which you
have as the place of death. If the person died in a small
town, the likelihood of an obit, or at least a small article
about the death is good. If the event took place in a large
city, and the person was not especially prominent, the
likelihood of an obit is practically nil.....but large city
newspapers usually publish death notices supplied by (and
charged for) by the funeral home.

Your options then are to either write or telephone the newspaper
"morgue clerk" or ask for help on this forum for somebody to
check it out in a local library.

Large city newspapers are often available on microfilm and
through the InterLoan Library system.

Offer to do research in Erie, Pennsylvania #general

Jay Cohen
 

I will be going to Erie PA and Will be visiting a library which maintains an obituary index for the Erie Times (1822 to date) as well as the entire newspaper on microfilm.

Will also be visiting Register of Wills (Probate Records 1823 to date),
Clerk of Records (Marriage Records 1885 to date) and Bureau of Vital
Statistics (Death Records 1906 to date).

Finally, I hope to look for naturalization records in the local
Courthouse -- although I don't have specific info on this yet.

If anyone needs such research done in Erie PA, send me an e-mail no later
than 11 pm on Thursday Sept 17th. I will try to do your research as I do
mine.

I am wondering if other people also have forebears who moved to

SCIFRINs/SCHEFRINs? Is this a common enough circumstance to merit further
inquiry by the SIG?
My late dad used to mention Ekaterinoslav Gubernia and it is possible that
his father and uncle passed that way before coming to England in the late
1880s. You are the only other person I know to have ever referred to the
place! I would be intrigued to know anything you can discover about it.

1811-1812 Zemplem Census/ ColumbiaU answer #hungary

Re: the following, I e-mailed Columbia University regarding getting the rest
of the information. I have attached their answer. Guess I'll have to find me
someone at Columbia to find it for me. Have a better chance of going to Heaven
than getting to New York.

"Dr izidor Goldberg analyzed, dissected and organized the JEWISH data
in an article published in a Zemplen periodical called ''Adalekok
Zemplen Megye Tortenetehez'', which is organized in 18 volumes and it
can be found at Columbia U in NYC.

The data in the census includes 3200 names of head of households or
widows, by location. No family members, wives or occupation(except
professionals-- very few). (I'm sorry I don't have the name of the person
that put this out to the list.
One of my names, GARTENFELD, Hazer, was listed and I had wanted the rest of
the information. This is the answer I recieved.

Dear Ley K. O'Connor,

On receipt of your e-mail, I forwarded a copy to Mr. Frank Unlandherm, our
Judaica bibliographer at Columbia's Library. Below is his response. I
don't know that this will help you much, but I believe this is the best we
can do long distance. Good luck!

We have the periodical Adalekok...in Butler, but I doubt very much
there is an index to it. The person would either have to come and go
through it himself or hire a Columbia student to do it.

Re: site with yizkor books for sale #hungary

Louis Schonfeld <lmagyar@...>
 

Thanks Robert,

In addition to myself I know of only two other booksellers in the United
States who carry an inventory of Yizkor books (at least ten different
titles). In Israel there are also several dealers in Yizkor books. See
Jewishgen for more specific information. Even though I carry a few Polish
Yizkor books, 90% of my inventory consists of Yizkor books for towns and
localities in Greater Hungary. On the web site shown below I noticed about
six Hungarian Yizkor book titles. I am pleased to say that I have copies of
each of these books (excluding Tasnad) and my price in each case is less
that Idealbook's price. This is not a put down of Idealbooks since Aron (the
proprietor) may have paid more for his copy than I did. Now, if I only knew
how to put my sales inventory on a web page!

Sincerely,

Louis

I really wish to thank everyone who has help to answer my question re: Neolog. I really believe I have a much clearer picture now. As soon as I assimilate all this, I'm sure to have others. I do really appreciate the URLs sent out, they were very much a help.

Most of the books I have located locally (no supprise, Nevada) seem to be about German and Russian Jews. I have ordered quite a few interlibrary, but haven't recieved any yet.

I'm getting there.
