Khust is the current name of the place that was formerly Huszt, Maramaros, Hungary. When searching for older records more likely to have good results if you use the Hungarian name. Also, do a wider search for GRUNVALD records by entering Maramaros or Huszt or Csorna in Any Field.

Hello All:
 I am trying to track down information regarding my aunt's first husband,known as "Costica" Caufman.  His formal given name might be Constantin.  He was married to my aunt, Sali ( Sara) Sternberg, and lived in Bucharest Romania.  I believe that they divorced some time before 1955,when my aunt came to live with us in Canada.  I am wondering if anyone has any information regarding marriages/divorces in Bucharest in the 1940s-50s.

Thanks,
Aline Sternberg Petzold,

I am looking for information on Joyce Locks (Lox) Davis She lived in Cleveland Ohio late 40s and early 50s then moved to Cleveland Heights.

Great photo! As others have noted, the top medal looks like an example of the WWI German Iron Cross https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iron_Cross (different versions were produced, and it is hard to see any details, but it likely looks like the photo attached). 

The lower medal is harder to make out, but it seems to be the Friedrich August Cross 2nd Class from the Grand Duchy of Oldenburg. According to various websites, this medal was established in September 1914 for all ranks and was the Grand Duchy’s equivalent of the Prussian Iron Cross for bravery https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friedrich-August-Kreuz

Thank you, Shlomo. This looks like terrific work, and I'm grateful to have this new information.

Your second link seems as if it may be broken, however. When I click on http://shl2gur.tripod.com/Mogilevgub ernia/Mogilevgub.htm  I get taken to an error message.

Good luck, and it's generous of you to share such substantial work with all of us.

Hello,

I have never been able to find the marriage certificate of one of my grandfather’s brothers: Josef Lubasz (or Lubasch) born January 12 1897 in Krakow married to Raia Lerner. The only information I have is that he survived the war in Warsaw, but Raia and their two sons perished during the Holocaust. Where can I locate their sons birth certificate or any information of when they were born and their names?

I would appreciate any help
Thanks
Irene Lubasch

Dear Genners

AJGS has received an enquiry from a watch collector about an inscription on a pocket watch in his possession. It was bought in England about 30 years ago and the watch is thought to date from around 1900.

The inscription reads: For Dr John Michael in memory of his grandfather. Who so missed his birth by minutes, and is much beloved as a great Zionist. He and his son fought so valiantly, and for the Zionists. 

It is not clear whether the reference is to a paternal grandfather and therefore a MICHAEL (or variant), or to an unnamed maternal grandfather. Nor is it certain that these are Jewish Zionists.

My question is whether anyone has a Dr John Michael in their tree with ancestors involved in the early days of Zionism.

Any assistance would be welcome.
