My grandfather's brother, Philip (Favel) GOLDENBERG died in the influenza
epidemic in 1918 in New York City. Two of my uncles >from Philadelphia had
to go to New York City to have him buried. We were never able to find out
where or if any records were kept of his burial. Does anyone know of such
death and/or burial records being kept by a New York City department?

Thank you.

Dear Friends,

Two weeks ago, I asked for your help in determining the fate of my

Village life in Transcarpathia #general

John Berkeley <gluckpast@...>
 

I should like to understand what sort of community facilities for
assembly and prayer are likely to have existed in the villages of
Transcarpathia prior to the Holocaust. My particular interest is in
Sekernice (Sokirnitsa) and Veresmart (Velikaya Kopanya), to the east
and west of Chust (Khust) respectively. Did the local rabbi conduct
services in a permanent synagogue or some other village building or
did the community travel in to the nearby town to worship in the
several synagogues there?

Any information/advice would be much appreciated, as I prepare to
visit the area again in three weeks time.

Chicago "Get" #general

Jackye Sullins <jsullins@...>
 

My aunt was married twice by two different rabbis in the mid to late 1930s
in Chicago. I have the names of the rabbis and wonder where she would have
obtained the get. Would she go to the first rabbi or the second or to a
council? Does anyone know where records might be kept or how I can
determine with which synagogue the rabbis were affiliated? They were: #1
in 1933 - Solomon RESH at 5036 N. Kimball Ave. and #2 in 1938 - S. Felix
MENDELSOHN at 5140 N. Central Park.

Thank you in advance
