Because the post card is sent to B.Derman, in Bucharest Romania, from a Spanish speaking country. I think the sender's family name is also Derman. Just a suggestion.

Sorry for a wrong link to the Lipowa 7 camp for the Polish-Jewish POWs in Lublin. The correct link is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lipowa_7_camp

Here is information about the camp for Jewish-Polish POWs in Lublin, 1940-1943. Yes, there were cavalry units in the 1939 Polish-German war.

Translation of survivor testimony from Yiddish/Hebrew
#translation
Maciej Łopaciński
I'm looking for information about labor camp in a peat mine at Izabelin (10 km south of Radzymin). The camp is forgotten - there is almost no information about it. I found the testimony of survivors Avraham Chonowicz and Mordechai Zilberstein on YadVashem website.
Could someone kindly translate for me information from these testimonies about camp in Izabelin? Only fragments about Izabelin, not all testimony.
1) First testimony of Avraham Chonowicz - word Izabelin is on page 9.
https://documents.yadvashem.org/index.html?language=en&search=global&strSearch=izabelin&GridItemId=3556906&TreeItemId=4019643
2) Second testimony of Avraham Chonowicz
https://documents.yadvashem.org/index.html?language=en&search=global&strSearch=izabelin&GridItemId=3562740&TreeItemId=4019643
3) Testimony of Mordechai Zilberstein. Some of his testimony is in the book (https://www.jewishgen.org/Yizkor/Radzymin/Rad270.html), but maybe there is more information in hebrew version of testimony.
https://documents.yadvashem.org/index.html?language=en&search=global&strSearch=izabelin&GridItemId=3559009&TreeItemId=4019643
Thank you in advance for your help.

Hi Sandi,
I searched www.familysearch.org
for Phillip, born Illinois with mother's name Una, and found this Illinois death record.
This Phillip has the same birth date as your Phillip, and his mother Una was born
in Joplin, MO. Although, this Una's maiden name is different. It might be worth looking into further.

Hi Shirley
There are few if any shipping records from Eastern Europe to Hull or any other nearby port such as Grimsby. My ancestors (on three sides) came via Hull between 1865 and 1875, but there are no official records. Please note that by the 1890s a lot of migrants came via Grimsby rather than Hull. You should contact the University of Hull Maritime Studies Dept for further information.
Records were either not kept or were destroyed for the East Coast ports (my 4th side went to Leith in Scotland but no records there either).
My Guttenberg family also ended up in Sheffield in early 20th century after having lived in Hull and Grimsby in latter quarter of 19th century.

BRADY: Is "Bohm Leipach" Bohmisch-Leipa, Bohemia, Austria - now Česká Lípa, Czech Republic

I would appreciate some help in identifying the town of origin of my son-in-law's BRADY family. According to family records, his third great-grandmother, Betty BRADY de BEER, was born in Ritzebüttel, Germany, c. 1817. However, her father, Isaac BRADY, born c. 1776, and his father, had both been born in "Bohm Leipach." Could "Bohm Leipach" be Bohmisch-Leipa, Bohemia, Austrian Empire - now Česká Lípa, Czech Republic?
Thanks very much.

Hamburg ship lists

My great grandmother Taube Mankunsky came over to England via Hamburg circa 1898 from Simnas Lithuania with her son Dovid Yitzchok’s fiancee (later my grandmother) Tsivia Shochet as well as Taube’s 2 youngest children Zelda (later Betsy) and Leib (later Louis) Mankunsky. They landed in Hull. At least that was the oral history which I had from my grandmother Tsivia via her daughter my mother Mary Myers Adams. The name Mankunsky was changed to Myers in Engand. My grandparents Dovid Yitzchok and Tsivia Shochet Myers married in Sheffield in 1899.
I have searched the Hamburg ship lists but can find no record of Taube and Tsivia’s journey. Are the shipping lists complete? Was there another shipping line? My grandmother talked of travelling by horse and cart to Hamburg but once in England they travelled by train from Hull to Sheffield where Dovid Yitzchok and his older brother Benyomin Meir already married to Sarah Rose Nathanson from Prien awaited them.
I would be grateful for any further infomation.

City directories are indispensable locating tools for genealogists, but they go far beyond connecting an ancestor to a certain place in time. They lead to a multitude of sources, contain information of genealogical value beyond the individual listings, and present a fuller picture of our ancestors’ lives.
Although the webinar is focused on U.S. city directories, many of the same principles apply in Canada. A PDF with links to major online Canadian city directories will be made available to all attendees.

JewishGen Talks: Portuguese Jews: Names & History
#JewishGenUpdates
Avraham Groll
We invite you to attend the next presentation in our series of JewishGen Talks webinars:
Portuguese Jews: Names & History
Speaker: Dr. Alexander Beider
Tuesday, April 27, 2021 @ 2:00 PM Eastern Time
Registration is free with a suggested donation.
About the Talk
The case of the so-called "Portuguese" Jews (Western Sephardim) is exceptional in the Jewish history: a mass conversion to Christianity at the end of the 15th century and a gradual return to the religion of their ancestors generations later. The debate about the reasons of this return and the degree of "Jewishness" of members of these communities (primarily in such cities as Amsterdam, London, Hamburg, Livorno, Venice, Bordeaux, and Bayonne) never ceased. Considerations of certain authors are passionate and more closely related to ideological rather than scientific factors. The analysis of names used in these communities allows to shed some (ideologically neutral) light on these complex and fascinating pages of the Jewish history.
About the Speaker
Dr. Alexander Beider has a PhD in applied mathematics, and a second PhD in the domain of Jewish studies. Beider uses onomastics and linguistics as tools allowing to unravel the history of the Jewish people. He has written a series of reference books dealing with the etymology of Jewish surnames. Beider is also the designer of the linguistic part of the Beider-Morse Phonetic Matching method of computer-based searches for equivalent surnames.
