Hi Michelle and all other readers.
Would you be so kind and add a name to your request? Julius KATZ my lost uncle I
never knew about and only recently discovered is buried, I was told, in JHB West
Park I Cemetery Grave Number K335. I have never seen my uncle, maybe I can at
least see his gravestone. My e-mail address is samkatz27@...

Please reply in private thanks

I have been unsuccessful in accessing online phone directories for
Prague and/or the Czech Republic.

The one I found through Google seems hopeless, as the common surname of
KALINA does not turn up a single hit.

Does anyone >from our group have a suggestion?

Thank you.

Please add me to the list of those wishing Celia Male a full and speedy
recovery. Like so many others, I have been the recipient of her help,
generosity and expertise.

I was recently provided with a scan of a letter dated 2 May 1942 written by
my great-great grandmother, Else Geiershoefer, to the "Abteilung für die
Eingesiedelten", requesting an exemption >from the "Ausreise-Aufforderung
III/440" on health grounds (she had a broken upper thigh). I should,
however, be very grateful if someone could translate the Polish text at the
bottom right of the letter. A scan of the letter can be found here:

www.archeion.talktalk.net/ahs/Geiershoefer.jpg

I gather that her request was granted, sparing her certain death at Chelmno,
where I understand she would have been taken, although she nevertheless died
in Lodz a few month later.

Also, is anything known about the doctor she mentions, Dr. Gelber, and the
medical provision that would have been available to her? Are there hospital
records >from that time?

Lastly, Else lived in the Steinmetzstr. Does that street still exist and,
if so, what is its Polish name now, as I'd like to find it on Google, if
possible, and perhaps one day visit.

Many thanks,

On the 1 January 1894 Kaunas Craftsmen List, it says of my gggrandfather
Leyba Farber: House painter and lacquerer, master, workshop at 3rd
department, 8th quarter.

--Does anyone know what 3rd department, 8th quarter means?

--Does anyone know what a house painter and lacquerer did at that time?


Thank you.

I would like to apologize for any misunderstanding I may have
inadvertently created by promoting what I had not understood was
a commercial offer >from Regina Kopilevich. Please accept my apology
and I am sorry if I caused anyone to have hopes of finding records of
their ancestors.

I have known Regina for many years and think very highly of her. I just
think this is a simple case of miscommunication and a lack of facts in
advance of my posting my message.

Please do not ask me for Regina's email address. She plans to post her own
messages in the future.
