Re: Translation Hebrew back of photograph
#translation
This look like a Hebrew date to me " ט"ו בתום היום א' דחול המועד סוכות תרנב"
I you do not read Hebrew, this means "on the 17th at the end of the day, first day of hol hamoed hanuka, 1891" using abbreviation "א דחהס" to describe the first day of hanika, and the Hebrew year in Hebrew letters "תרנב". If I'm right that will be of the 17th October 1891eve.... Hope this helps My regards Avi Markovits avi.markovitz@... |

This week's Yizkor book excerpt on the JewishGen Facebook Page
#yizkorbooks
Bruce Drake
One reality of life in the Jewish Pale was the grinding poverty. This excerpt, “Poverty and Hardship in Bobruisk (Belarus)” is from a longer section of its Yizkor book, titled “Bobruisk In the Nineteenth Century .”
“Here lived ‘in old cut-up pants porters and shoemakers and tailors — also beggars, hunchbacks, sick, coughing, and wives, which stood with their baskets in the market,’” writes the author of this chapter. People wandered to different places in southern Russia or to America “to find a piece of bread." Poverty also gave rise to youth gangs and a “Jewish underworld” and to brothels frequented by the great number of soldiers in the city. By the end of the 19th century, sparked by the Russian revolutionary movement, poverty was also a driving force in people joining the workers’ movement.

In Russian:
Замбров #90 Состоялось в посаде Замбров, 18 (30) сентября 1880-го года в 9 часов утра. Явился еврей Абрам-Меер Ицкович Шафран, торговец, 21-го года, живущий в посаде Замбров в присутствии свидетелей Израиля Цибельмана, 44 лет и Шимки Рожина, 54 лет, оба жители посада Замбров и предявили нам младенца женского пола, объявляя, что она родилась в посаде Замбров 1-го (13-го) сентября сего года в 3 часа утра от законной жены Ханы (возможно)-Розы, двух имен Вольфович (возможно), 18-и лет. Младенцу сему дано имя Зельда. Акт сей окончен и подписан, кроме объявляющих себя безграмотными.
Израиль Цибельман Шимка Рожин Чиновник гражданского состояния Подпись
Translated into English:
Zambrov # 90 It took place in Posad Zambrov, September 18 (30), 1880 at 9 am. There was a Jew Abram-Meer Itskovich Shafran, a merchant, 21 years old, living in the Zambrov Posad in the presence of the witnesses Israel Tsibelman, 44 years old and Shimki Rozhin, 54 years old, both residents of the Zambrov Posad, and presented us with a female baby, announcing that she was born in posad Zambrov on September 1 (13) of this year at 3 o'clock in the morning from the lawful wife of Khana (possibly) -Rose, two names Volfovich, 18 years old. This child was given the name Zelda. This act is completed and signed, except for those who declare themselves illiterate.
Israel Tsibelman Shimka Rozhin Civil Status Official Signature
Comment: “Khana (possibly) –Rose”, Khana name not clear in writing. Volfovich – possibly paternal name from father’s “Volf” or could be a lust name too. It is not so clear in the document. Second document, what you mansion like a Marriage record is the copy of your first record – VM90915 Translated by Michael Ryabinky Columbus, OH |

Help reading a Polish birth register
#poland
Robin Schwartz
I found the registry with my maternal great grandmother's birth. The headings seem to be in Latin (second attachment-had to attach in two pieces )I am assuming that is because of the influence of the Catholic church? The column I am having difficulty reading is headed "Patrini", which translates from the Latin into "sponsors". I'm not sure what that means here. The entry I am trying to read is for Zipre (first attachment). Any help is appreciated.
Thanks Robin Schwartz Highland Park, NJ |

I live in Downtown Brooklyn at BOND St. There has never been a Boyd St in Brooklyn. My bet is the address is actually Bond Street. Try searching for that as the address...

Re: Brooklyn Street name

Steven Cohen
If "Boyd Street" is from a passenger arrival record, it was written down by a clerk in Europe who had no knowledge of Brooklyn street names. You might consider Hoyt Street, which does exist, and sounds quite similar.

Dear Vivian 12th February 2021
The above all seem to relate to Auctions 'Talmudical manuscripts--Correspondences between well know Rabbinic Authorities, --Av Beis Dins--Rabbonim I have just purchased one--Not on Jewish Gen's list' which was written by my grandfather Hersl/Zvi/ Herman Biederman to the Av Beis Din of Hajdunanas -Dayan Moskovits. My grandfather was a highly respected Talmudical 'giant'--and a very modest one. Treasure this info. Best wishes to you all at Jewish Gen Veronika Pachtinger London UK |

Richard Gordon
Dear Researchers, Members,
My Grandfather Ephriam GORDON stated in his naturalisation papers (Londonderry, Ireland 1899) that he was born September 1872 at Libau in Kurland, son of Abraham GORDON (son, I believe, of Ephraim) and Lina (DAVIDOW). I’m told he had a sister with two children who moved to Vilna before WWII and an older brother David who arrived in Londonderry some years before to establish the family business before leaving for South Africa. My research so far has found nothing at all and I wonder if anyone has come across a GORDON family from Libau? I am the last of my family having very little information and I would be very grateful if anyone has any information. My very recent Ancestry DNA test provided no close matches. Thank you, Richard Gordon. Londonderry, Northern Ireland |

JEWISH GENEALOGICAL SOCIETY OF TORONTO. Poland SIG Virtual Meeting. Jewish Cemeteries in Poland and the Pandemic – an Update Directly from Poland. Witold Wrzosinski. Thursday, 18 February 2021, at 7:30 pm. ET.
Jerry Scherer
JEWISH GENEALOGICAL SOCIETY OF TORONTO Poland SIG
Jewish Cemeteries in Poland and the Pandemic – an Update Directly from Poland with Witold Wrzosinski, Director of the Jewish Cemetery in Warsaw, Poland
VIRTUAL MEETING: Join from Home Thursday, 18 February 2021, at 7:30 pm. ET.
The Jewish Genealogical Society of Toronto and its Poland SIG will present direct from Poland Witold Wrzosinski to discuss his efforts in preserving our Jewish history by preserving our Jewish cemeteries. As the co-founder and co-director of the Foundation for the Documentation of Jewish Cemeteries in Poland, he has been indexing epitaph inscriptions from Polish-Jewish cemeteries for the last 14 years and run an open access, searchable online database with more than 110,000 photographs and transcriptions from more than 100 cemeteries. Join us as we explore his efforts during COVID-19, especially in these trying times when travel is hardly possible and people rarely leave their homes. How do we even start finding the right people? What is the future of local projects already undertaken by descendants in cooperation with residents in dozens of remote Polish towns? Are Jewish cemeteries bound to deteriorate now for good? How are the relevant institutions in Poland dealing with this challenge? Let’s try to get answers. Register today at: Clicking Here or https://zoom.us/meeting/register/tJYod-6tpz4vEtVLYIJz4MdO2Be1k0wmSwQP
February is our promotional month where we are offering our SIG programmes and their recordings to the public. We trust that you benefited from our Ukraine SIG and Latvia SIG programmes this month. Starting in March, our policy is to return to keeping SIG programmes and their recordings open only to members. This will keep the size of our SIGs smaller and thus allow the kind of presentations, discussion and interaction that are a hallmark of our special interest groups.
To our guests, consider joining our membership for only $40.00 per year by Clicking Here or consider a donation by Clicking Here to assist us in continuing our mission providing a forum for the exchange of genealogical knowledge and information. (Canadians receive a CRA tax receipt.)

Looking for relatives of Sophia and Rebekah Krapotskin from Zhabinka
#belarus
Hi, I've posted a photo of two sisters that was taken in Zhabinka in 1917. They were my grandmother’s friends. The back of the photo card is in Russian and translated it reads: “For good memory to my good friend Sheina Zubatsky from Sophia and Rebekah Krapotskin, Zhabinka, 31/05/1917” Sheina is my grandmother – Sheindla “Jennie” Zawatsky. She was born in 1895 in Zhabinka; she married Froim Goldberg in 1919 and they immigrated to the USA in 1921. The two women in the photo are the Krapotskins. I have not had much luck with locating any family. They were most likely sisters and born around the 1895 time frame in Zhabinka. Any help in locating family would be greatly appreciated
