Death registration in 1916 Warsaw. Where would I locate a "street map" to locate the addresses? #warsaw

Our Jewish Family History Research
 

Hi all:
I am posting information from a translated Warsaw death registration. I am hoping that one of our fellow members would kindly share where I may locate those 
addresses. In particular, House #670  is most important for my research. No street name?

Here it is:
Death registration took place in Warsaw in the Powązki, fifth precinct, on March 11, 1916
-Date of death:  March 10, 1916
-Place of death: House # 670

Witnesses:
-Gersh Zilberstein, a tradesman, an adult living at 1 Bayun Street in Warsaw,
appeared in the presence of an adult witness -Nuson Moore, a house manager living in house number 8 in Warsaw.

Many thanks in advance.
Best,

Can anyone recommend photo editing software to make it easier to read a tombstone? I understand that such software exists.--

She stated that she needs it for dual citizenship; hence the need for certification.

Is this cemetery still actively managed? If so, is it possible to ask the cemetery for information about this Abraham?  Alternatively, is it possible to search various cemetery databases? I quickly searched dead fred without results, but there are others.

Does not look like but sounds like Chernigov

A lot depends on how you read the initial letter – probably a Z but possibly a J or even a B, based on other examples on the page.

Excellent book about Hungary/WWII for teens and adults #hungary #holocaust

Susan J. Gordon
 

There is a very good book, YOUNG PEOPLE SPEAK - SURVIVING THE HOLOCAUST IN HUNGARY, edit by Andrew Handler & Susan V. Meschel, 1993 Franklin Watts publ, which contains adults' recollections about their experiences as children. (I found this book in my public library, and subsequently purchased a copy because it contained so much info about Budapest in 1944, which I wrote about, subsequently, in my memoir, BECAUSE OF EVA.) One writer, Peter Bartas (deceased now) wrote "The Brickyard." and described how he was taken to it, north of the city, and how he escaped.
 
He also referred to "Eva the Swede," the nickname given to my late cousin, who in 1944 used her protection under Swedish security to help and save others.
 
Good luck!

Not following this thread previously, but guessing you'd need it certified if it was for a passport application?

I have a similarly frustrating problem with this new "tool". Thru Lines identifies my aunt's granddaughter as my aunt! The granddaughter has the correct relationship in her tree so the blame for this error obviously lies with Ancestry!

Re: Hungarian to English #translation

Klára Majoros
 

Dear Alex and Evrybody,

Agylob and agyhártyalob (agyhártyagyulladás) are two different things.

Agylob refers to the content material of the brain, the cerebrum.
Its inflamation is encephalitis as in a contemporary Hungariam medical dictionary also states:
https://library.hungaricana.hu/en/view/KlasszikusOrvosiKonyvek_017/?pg=95&layout=s&query=agylob

Agyhártyalob (agyhártyagyulladás) is the inflamation of the meninges, the illness is called  meningitis. Example from the same medical dictionary.
https://library.hungaricana.hu/en/view/KlasszikusOrvosiKonyvek_017/?pg=170&layout=s&query=meningitis

Re: Good New Tool: Thru Lines on Ancestry #general #announcements #dna #education

Ellen
 

I set up Thru Lines on Ancestry awhile back, but I must say I've been disappointed, as it has errors that apparently can't be corrected.

For example:  Thru Lines identifies my grandmother's paternal aunt as potentially my grandmother's maternal grandmother.  The error results in Thru Lines misidentifying subsequent ancestors.
The FAQs for Thru Lines state: "If a potential ancestor does not support what you know about your family's history, you may contact the family tree owner associated with that person to correct any errors or make changes." 


But the family tree owner doesn't even have my grandmother listed in her tree; there's nothing there to correct.  Moreover, the error is not based on a DNA match (although I DO match a descendant of my grandmother's paternal aunt... which isn't even reflected here!).  I wish there was a way I could click "Ignore" as I do with some of the hints Ancestry provides for people in my family tree.
