Stawiski, Poland #general

Jose Gutstein <jmg-miami@...>
 

Is anyone aware of any LDS films for Stawiski, Poland (in
Lomza, gubernia)?

I didn't find that town listed at all among the many towns
in the LDS list at the JRI-Poland site.

Thanks,

Re: Yiddish/Hebrew/English Given Names #general

I recently obtained a copy of the hard-to-find "Yiddish English-Hebrew
Dictionary" by Alexander Harkavy, 1928/1988, YIVO and Schocken Books
(ISBN 0-8052-4027-6).

On pp. 525-530 is a section on Yiddish/Hebrew names along with the
author's suggestions on their English equivalents. The dictionary was
written in 1928 as an aid to native Yiddish speakers emigrating to the
US, and the name section was included with this in mind and as an aid
to naming their newborn children.

Harkavy is certainly not the last word on this subject (see esp. Rabbi
Shmuel Gorr), but the name section is certainly worth looking through
from a genealogy point of view, if only to gain insight into our
ancestors' thought process.

Karozgw, Warsaw exciting discovery #general

R. Naidia Mosher <RNMOSHER@...>
 

I just made the exciting discovery that my maternal grandfather,
Israel DROZDASH (known as Israel ROSE) came >from Karosgw in Warsaw
after obtaining a copy of his certificate of naturalization at
the Public Records Office in Kew, London. No one in the family
knew where he (& our maternal grandmother Sarah) came from, except
that it was "somewhere in Warsaw," so this was a real coup!!
BTW, in case other Jewishgeners don't know already,the
naturalization papers also give the names and nationalities of
parents; in this case, Solomon and Rachel DROZDASH, Polish.
(Another coup!)

Is anyone familiar with the family DROZDASH >from Karosgw or
with the town or district of Karosgw. Did Karosgw have a large
Jewish community? I'll appreciate even shreds of info!

I also tried to locate my paternal g.f. (Simon Wolf KUJAWSKI
aka KYJAWSKI)'s naturalization papers at the Pub. Records Off.,
and plowed thru 40 odd years of entries--but no luck. His papers
were either lost or maybe he couldn't be bothered--who knows!
BTW, I was advised by Rabbi Schachtner of Yad Vashem in Israel,
that I had misspelt my g.f.'s last name, i.e., KYJAWSKI instead
of KUjAWSKI (with a U). According to Rabbi Schachtner, the
Russian "U" is written with a "Y."

Dear Schelly,

Saw your posting to Myra Davis and your mention of a Wisconsin Peckarsky.
A Milwaukee Peckarksy is an old and dear friend of mine with whom I'm still in
contact. If this can be of any help, let me know.
