Gravestone Translation on Viewmate
#general
Shelly Crane
Hello,
I posted a 1902 gravestone on Viewmate of Marcus (aka Morris) SHEMANSKI. He died at the age of 82 in Portland, Oregon. The writing is in Hebrew or Yiddish and I hope to find a volunteer to translate the stone. http://www.jewishgen.org/viewmate/viewmateview.asp?key=17284 Please respond privately. Thank you very much!

JewishGen Discussion Group #JewishGen Union Field Cemetery, Queens, NY
#general
Michael Reich <mareich@...>
Not to add to any confusion, but I believe there is more than one "Union
Field Cemetery" in Queens. The one Mr. Lasky mentions in this message is the older one, established in 1878. It is located on on Cypress Avenue just west of the Jackie Robinson Expressway in Queens. A very short distance away is the "New Union Field Cemetery" which may be the one administered by the Mt. Carmel Cemetery. The New Union Field is on Cypress Hills Street and, according to the map I have, is across the street >from Mt. Carmel Cemetery. I have several ancestors buried at Union Field and they do not appear in the Mt. Carmel database. Either they are among those not yet entered, or the Mt. Carmel Cemetery database includes the "New Union Field Cemetery" but not "Union Field Cemetery." When I visited the "Union Field Cemetery" several years ago, their records seemed to consist mostly of index cards. Michael Reich Steven Lasky <steve725@...> Even though Union Field Cemetery in Ridgewood, Queens County, New York does not have a searchable database, they nevertheless have a website. snip....

Meaning of "Stammvater"
#austria-czech
easpira@...
Hello A-G SIGgers,
I have recently learned that the burial records of my GGGGgrandfather Haschman Leib SPIRA of Trebic (Trebitsch), Moravia, has recorded that his "Stammvater" was Josef Aron. Josef Aron is also listed as the father of three sons, but he word "Stammvater does not appear in connection with them. While I do not have the full translation of their records, I am wondering whether the use of "Stammvater" in this context has some unique meaning. The question arises also because there appears to be at least 35 years difference in ages between Haschman and his "siblings". Any suggestions as to the use of the term Stammvater would be welcome. Arthur Spira: researching SPIRA, WERTHEIMER, ORNSTEIN and SCHNEK >from Trebic; MAX >from Safov.

Czech National Archives digitisation of Matriky
#austria-czech
danielat1@...
Dear fellow Siggers
I want to give you the exciting news that the Czech National Archives has begun to digitise the collection of vital records they hold. The collection of 4,000 Matriky, the registers of the Jews of Bohemia and Moravia - Births, Deaths and Marriages - will be available online next year for the first time! The project is the brainchild of Dr Lenka Matusikova a deputy director of the archive who is the curator of religious documents (among other responsibilities). The archive is funding the actual scanning of the registers but the Matriky are in desperate need of restoration. The archive is seeking donations and sponsorship for the restoration. The whole project is supported by the Moravian Land Archives and also some Austrian funding >from the "Matricula" programme. I am happy to support the project and would be pleased to give any further information if you write to me privately. Regards Daniela Torsh Sydney, Australia Researching POLLAK in Vseradice, Bestin, Prague, LOEBL in Most, ADLER and HANNAK in Boskovice, THORSCH in Boskovice, Tovacov and Vienna, SCHINDEL in Vienna, LICHTBLAU in Vienna and WINTER in Straznice, Vienna and England.

Shtetlinks Course will begin Dec 1
#belarus
bounce-2127993-772948@...
Do you have a lot of genealogical material to share and want to put it
on the web, but don't know how? Have you waited for someone to create a ShtetLinks site for your town, but no one has? Do it yourself! If you have basic computer skills, that's all you need to start making web pages. We will use a free, downloadable, simple-to-use web page editor to create our pages so you don't have to buy expensive software. This editor runs on both PCs (all versions of Windows) and Macs (OS X 10.2 or later), so practically everyone will be able to use it. Requirements: 1) You must have basic computer skills such as knowing how to click on hyperlinks and how to "copy and paste" text using a computer mouse, etc. 2) You must be comfortable with using a web browser like Internet Explorer or Safari, and with using a word processing program like Microsoft Word or WordPerfect. You don't have to be an expert, just someone who has used those programs or programs like them. 3) And you'll need about 4-5 hours each week to read the lessons and practice making web pages The tuition is $36 and you can pay online by clicking on the Enroll Link on the education page at www.jewishgen.org/education. You can pay online with our secure credit card system. If you have any questions, please email JewishGen-Education@... Phyllis Kramer V.P.Education, JewishGen Inc.
