Re: Translation Hebrew back of photograph
#translation
There are some replies on viewmate which add more meaning. And ט"ו בתום היום is not the 17th of Tishrei. The letter "nun" is quite clear in the second and third words and I am not sure why it seems to others to be a "tes". The third word, in my view, reads "shana" but I cannot decipher the next word and it may be significant. I think the meaning may be "56 years old today, the first day of chol hamoed succos 5652 - 1891" , the age referring to the person in the photograph or telling the recipient how old the person is at that date (not when the photo was taken).

Hi Lowell,
Srulikoff or Srulikov are completely different names from Tsyrulnikov/Tsirulnikov. The prior is based on the name Срулик/Srulik (Israel), while the latter is based on an archaic term цирюльник/tsiryulnik (barber). You tagged the post with "belarus" and "russia" tags. Is there a Reshitsa in either of these countries? I know there is one in Romania. Mike Vayser |

#yizkorbooks
#poland
The printed hardcover version of the Gombin Yizkor book incorporates some new materials that were not included in the original Yiddish version published in 1969. I can now confirm that these new materials have also been added to the translation’s electronic version posted on the JewishGen Yizkor Books website: https://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/gombin/gombin.html These are the added materials: Preface to the English translation - Explains the history of the translation project, pays tribute to the memory of translation coordinator Ada Holtzman, and includes individual acknowledgments by name (translators, Yizkor Books Project team, and donors). https://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/gombin/Gom001.html Additional Memorial Pages - Necrology notices submitted by families which did not have the opportunity of memorializing their relatives in the book’s original Yiddish version of 1969. https://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/gombin/Gom900.html The German Occupation of Gombin - Translation of a report found in the Ghetto Archives of the Jewish Historical Institute in Warsaw, describing conditions in Gombin during and immediately after the German occupation. https://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/gombin/Gom902.html Register of Gombiners who perished in the Shoah - Individual information about 2,249 Gombiner Jews who were murdered or are known to have died as a result of the genocidal policies and actions of the German Nazis during the Second World War in Europe.

Aaron Slotnik
Hello,
I am researching two men who I believe are brothers, but their father's names are spelled differently on their matzevot. I am appealing to the Hebrew and Yiddish expert genners to confirm this is the same name, perhaps with Max's father's name being the Yiddish spelling/version of the Hebrew name 'Uri' (אורי). According to the JewishGen Given Names Database, the Yiddish version of 'Uri' can be transliterated as 'Ire' (?א'רא). If you would like, you can review the matzevot in question here (https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/118596216/max-ornstein) and here (https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/101232374/benjamin-ornstein). Regards, Aaron Slotnik Chicago, IL |

Re: Help reading a Polish birth register
#poland
M Tobiasiewicz
This looks like it is a church record of births and baptisms. It is in Latin because the priests were trained in Latin. They were required to keep records of all births deaths and marriages. This was for both tax and conscription purposes. So you are going to find a lot of non catholics listed there. The other reason the birth would be listed is that the parents converted. The column Numerus Domus is the house number where they lived.
Patrini are godparents or baptism sponsors. If you would like me to review the film, please email me directly and I will be happy to give you more information on the source. -- Maryellen Tobiasiewiczfamily from: Bielsko-Biala powiat Poland

Kenneth Ryesky
Many Portuguese Jews (converso, marrano, or otherwise) took names of flowers or trees as surnames.
My knowledge of the Portuguese language is very severely limited, but it is my understanding that "amoreira" is Portuguese for mulberry; perhaps "Moreira" might have morphed from Amoreira.
[As an aside, here is a piece on how the Portuguese language diverged from Spanish:

Anyone knows the origin of my surnames? ''Moreira'' and ''Dudus''.

natalie.drmd@...
Hello! I found something in the archives of this website about my both surnames ''Moreira'' (from mother) and ''Dudus'' (from father). I know the following: my father's father was born in Cetatea Alba in 1917, the document says it's Bessarabia, that became Romania later. Originally, Dudus was written Duduş (ş in latin alphabet). However, when my grandfather came to Brazil - around 1924, the immigration officers had writen his surname differently for his brothers documents: Dudush / Duduchi, and for him Dudus. About Moreira, it comes from the father of my mother, she doesn't know much about him only that this name is popular in Portugal, so maybe his family came form there. So please, does anybody know the deep roots of my both surnames? Any idea is appreciated. Thank you!

There are 2 often-quoted theories about the GORDON surname in Lithuania.
One suggests that it is a mangled version of the town name Grodno - I doubt it. The other is the one I think more likely. In the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth there was significant contact between that country and Scotland. As well as some Scottish merchants, some of the Lithuanian Princes employed mercenary soldiers in their private armies and some of them were Scots. In part payment for their services they were often given land. When Jewish families living on those lands had to choose a surname some may have chosen the name of their landowner. In the town of Kedainiai there is a 'Scottish Quarter'. See http://polishscottishheritage.co.uk/?heritage_item=scots-in-poland which as well as documenting many of the early connections between the two countries also mentions Alexander CHALMERS who was four times mayor of Warsaw in 1691, 1694, 1696 and 1702. His Polish name was Aleksander CZAMER (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexander_Chalmers_(mayor_of_Warsaw) ). Michael Tobias Glasgow, Scotland |

David Gordon
As Michael Tobias indicated, the name GORDON is a common Lithuanian name. Indeed, my researches over the decades have led me to believe it is one of the more (most?) common names in Lithuania. Unchanged upon emigration. My father's entire family (on both sides) came from Lithuania (originally from Butrimonys) and the name was Gordon in Lithuania back to at least the late 18th century and unchanged when our ancestors arrived in this country. While some names are undoubtedly changed for any of a variety of reasons, Gordon from Lithuania is indeed likely to be the "original" name.
