additional info on David BERNSTEIN - 1890
#general
Steve Pickoltz
In hoping to find out what happened to David BERNSTEIN, here are some
additional facts. He arrived in the USA (New York City) on May 9, 1890 aboard the SS Russia from Hamburg, age 11 months, with his mother Blume BERNSTEIN (34) and brotherHersch (9). There was NO father. They came with other relatives-- PICKHOLTZ, listed on the manifeast as Buchholtz and Katcher (listed as Kaczer). By 1900, Bluma is remarried to Berisch (Bernard) PICKHOLTZ who's wife Sara died in Jan. 2, 1892, and is buried at the Alliance cemetery, formally one of Barron De Hersch's colonies in South Jersey. Other than the arrival info of 1890, no other mention or record of David has been found. I have records for all other family members with the exception of the marriage date and location for Bernard PICKHOLTZ and Bluma BERNSTEIN. Steve Pickholtz New Jersey

ViewMate: Need a Translation of letter from Ukraine Archives
#general
jel@lipmanson.net <jel@...>
I've posted a short letter >from the Ukraine Archives on Viewmate. The
direct link is: http://www.jewishgen.org/viewmate/viewmateview.asp?key=18146 It is a response to an inquiry I recently made. Because of the brevity of the letter, I'm not hopeful that it contains new information, but would be greatly appreciative for a word by word translation. Even though it is in the Cyrillic alphabet, I do recognize the surname(s) of the person of interest. Thanks in advance. Judith Lipmanson Smyrna, DE USA

There were 2 Delatyner landsmanshaftn in NYC, the Erste (First) Delatyner K.U.V. and the Independent Delatiner K.U.V. There was also one in Israel. I do not know the name. There was a community of Delatyners in Buenos Aires, though I do not know of a landsmanshaft there. I was in touch with the societies in NYC over a dozen years ago. At the time they were shrinking as members passed away. If you want to find out if they still exist, contact the Baron Hirsch Cemetery, 1126 Richmond Ave., Staten Island, New York 10314, USA and ask who their contact is for: Erste Delatyner K.U.V. Inc.

Re: Change of name in 1907, why?
#hungary
traceygen@...
I don't know the answer, but I agree with your suspicion there was some kind of political situation around that time that motivated it. Around the same time (1903), two members of my family tree changed their name >from their father's German surname (Magaziner) to their mother's Hungarian surname (Balkanyi), and the name change was similiarly noted in their birth registers. I've always assumed that some sort of hostility toward Germans at the time motivated it, but I don't know what.

Many Jews changed their surnames >from German to Hungarian during that =
time period. My grandmother's WEISS family had one member also change = his surname to FEHER at the same time as indicated in the birth record. = (Ernest Weiss, b. Trencsen, 9 Jun 1861 surname changed to FEHER 1898). = His six living (?) brothers do not have such a note in the records. sam vass Kent, WA, USA On Feb 26, 2011, Susanna Vendel wrote: I found a note in the birth register of my grandfather WEISZ Abraham =(b. 1882 in Er Mihalyfalva =3D Valea lui Mihai) that he changed his surname in 1907 to FEHER that means "white" in Hungarian. =Why? Was it a special political situation in Austria-Hungary in 1907?

I've been told that if a Weiss is Hungarian, he/she is most likely Jewish. Maybe that was the case in 1907, too, and your relative didn't want to be readily identified as Jewish.

Dear Susanna,

I have only a partial answer to this question. I suspect others who subscr= ibe will know more, and I would be interested to learn more about this issu= e myself. My own paternal grandfather changed his surname >from FUCHS to TOMPA (a good= Hungarian name, meaning "blunt") in 1905. His eldest son later told us th= at the Hungarian government encouraged civil servants (or at least those at= a certain level) to Hungarianize their names. But was this aimed specific= ally at Jews? And was it imposed on them or a real attempt to integrate Je= ws? I don't know. A short time earlier, in 1898, one of my great-grandfathers changed his sur= name >from GOLDSCHMID to GALOS (accented a), another good Hungarian name. I= have read that 1898 was the year of the Hungarian millenium, and that to c= elebrate the millenium many Hungarianized their names. =20 You probably already know that WEISZ would have been the Hungarian spelling= of the German name WEISS, which also means "white", in German. Martin Tompa Seattle, WA, USA Researching: FUCHS, WEISZ, LEDERER (>from Preserani Nitra, now called Presel= any); ROSENTHAL (>from Privigye, now called Prievidza); GOLDSCHMID, GALOS (S= zombathely); MARKUS, KOVARY, AKACSOS.

yes, it was called "antisemitism". starting fomr the mid-nineteenth century, jews had greater opportunities for education and employment, but being jewish was an obstacle to advancement. many changed their names (see:), and some converted.
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
why 1907 (rather than 1887)? because maybe he was seeking a job at that time. you might find his name among the list at <http://kt.lib.pte.hu/cgi-bin/kt.cgi?konyvtar/kt04112203/0_0_2_pg_71.html>, which is a compilation of name changes, although 1907 might be too late. most of the FEHERs were changing >from WEISS, and i would bet that a disproportionate number were jews. that book also lists a few details such as occupation and sometimes their children's names. ....... tom klein, toronto
