Hi

Im trying to trace, and this is quite a long shot, a family who lived in
Manchester c. 1936. They had possibly a furniture shop, or they manufactured
furniture. The father's name was Nathan, and he had 4 children (maybe more) - 2

daughters - Rebecca and Lily, and 2 sons, names not known.

If the above flimsy info rings a bell with any, even if its nothing to do with
furniture, please let me know. The street Cheetham Hill Road was also
mentioned.


The info was supplied by a dear cousin who is over 90, has all her faculties,
but maybe some of the info has got distorted over time.

Thanks in advance

Dear Rita,

The location is most likely Kartuz Bereza (Byaroza today) also known as
Bereza Kartuska. There is much on this town where my grandfather
David Glazer (b. Galosshoff) came >from and you can find it on
http://www.stevemorse.org Bereza is located in Pruzhany District of
Grodno gubernia, not far >from the eastern Polish Border in what is now
Belarus.

You will find on Steve's website a map >from the 1993 KB Memorial Book
Which lists family members by houses. Also, pictures of Kartuz Bereza
and other items. You can also check on CPSA (Children of Pruzhany
& Surrounding Areas for information on Bereza.

Also, check Jewishgen JGFF for people who have family >from there.

She tells me that she has a photo of her grandparents with the
location Kutuz Brezza written on the back.

Dear Cousins,

Jim Gutterman asked about getting a New York City marriage certificate

from the 1940's.

New York City marriage indexes, but not certificates, through 1950
(or maybe 1951) are at the Municipal Archives. The indices >from about
1938 to 1950/1 were transferred there four or five years ago, and to my
knowledge there are no microfilms or other copies of these years anyplace
else. I checked on the Archives' web site and could not find any mention
that they have these indices - it only gives information about the marriage
certificates themselves.

I don't know if Jim lives in or near New York City, but if so, he should
go to the Municipal Archives at 31 Chambers Street to look at the indices,
and then to the City Clerk for the certificate.

The indices are on microfilm, and are cumbersome to search. The last time
I was at the Municipal Archives was over a year ago - if I remember correctly,
they sorted by borough, first letter of the surname, for every quarter of
the year, and for each borough. So if you don't know the borough, you have
to look at 20 lists per year (OK, only 16 without Staten Island, and
since I never looked at those, they might be more compact anyway).
And they're not alphabetical - all the A's are lumped together, so the
entire page has to be carefully scanned.

I am hiring a researcher to do research for Shumsk Ukraine and Borisov Belarus.
Is there anyone who would like to go in with me and share expenses?
I just did this for other towns in the Ukraine and it worked out well.
I already have the researcher and he is quite reasonable and very good.
Please respond privately.

Sometimes, you can't get what you want directly and must use
circuitous methods. In this case, finding descendants may be easier
than finding the marriage date.

Assuming your aunt died in the last 10 years or so, use Steve Morse's
Related Person's search:
http://www.stevemorse.org/birthday/privateeye.html?state=quick, clicking
on the Veromi or Private Eye button. Hopefully, you will
get a list of potential people you can contact. Then, use the
Zabasearch button on the top of the same page to identify possible
addresses and phone numbers of those people. Use your local library to
look up the New York Times archive to find a possible obituary. If the
obituary exists, perhaps you can contact the chapel/funeral home for
more info, too.

My aunt was born in 1930 and I believe was married late 1940s early
1950s in nyc. The nyc clerk's office will provide copies of marriage
certificates that are over 50 years old, so I'm good there, but
running into problem of not knowing of any searchable indexes to try
to pin down year and borough of marriage.

Looking for any historical information about the village Slobidka or Odai.
Ivano-Frankivsk region, near Tlumach, Ukraine. I discovered my GGM Hinde
Strauber lived there around 1880 before she left to Austria, Wien.

Vladimir,

In order to pinpoint Slobodka (Slobidka) location, go to ShtetlSeeker at

http://www.jewishgen.org/Communities/LocTown.asp

enter town name Odayi (this is a native (modern) Ukrainian name of ex
Odaje).

When windows open, you will notice that there are two places by similar name
located close to each other

Odayi (Odayev) at 4851 2509 was known as Odaje ad Tlumacz, and Odaje (Odayi)
at 4849 24541 was (is) located South >from Tysmienica

"Your" Odaye are at 4849 24541

Now, in 'maps' column click on "G" (Google maps), the other reference maps
would not work.

"Zoom in twice" and you will see Odai and Slobidka just west >from there.

Additional data for Slobodka:

http://data.jewishgen.org/jri-pl/1929/loadtop.htm?1521

http://lazarus.elte.hu/hun/digkonyv/topo/200e/43-49.jpg

(look between towns Tysmienica and Ottynia)

In 1900 there were 636 residents of Slobodka ad Odaje including 21 Jewish
souls.
