I have 4 cards (3 postcards and 1 greeting card) written by my gf,
Samuel Rafel in 1908 and 1909 to my gm, Ida Altman before they
were married in 1910.

I would appreciate help >from anyone who can read and translate
them for me. The file names are VM12965, VM12966, VM12967,
VM12968. You can see them at: http://www.jewishgen.org/viewmate
The individual addresses for each are:

http://www.jewishgen.org/ViewMate/viewmateview.asp?key=12967
http://www.jewishgen.org/ViewMate/viewmateview.asp?key=12968

These files will be on Viewmate for the next 7 days.
I have family members (in addition to myself) who are anxious to
know the meaning of the cards, although I suspect they were of a
romantic nature. I hope someone will be able to read the script
as the originals are quite faded and deteriorating.

Thank you.

Morning all,

I am trying to locate the ancestors of my Gr Gr Grandmother Flora WASSERMAN
b 28 Feb 1827 in Hannover d 12 Aug 1918 in Manhattan, NY. Her death
certificate changes the year of her birth to 1831. She emmigrated to
America prior to her marriage in Philadelphia in 1854 to Samuel George
SIMMONS. I was lucky enough to get a copy of their Ketubah >from a fantastic
and knowledeable archivist there. In it it give us her fathers name as
Elchanan. Her Death Certificate lists her mother as Louisa FREDERICKS.

We also know she had a sister Carrie b. Apr 1822 who was a widow with the
last name FEIST.

Most of the census documents have listed them >from Prussia but I finally
found one that said Hannover.

If these names correspond with anyone please let me know or if there are any
suggestions on how to get further back I would appreciate that as well.

John Simmons, Llanelli Wales <john@...>

I'm coming across people >from Deptford (South East London) born around
1800
ish. Does anyone know more about South London Jewish communities of this
period that mentioned by Roth in the Rise of Provincial Jewry?

South East London Synagogue >from 1859.

Deptford contained a Royal Dockyard so that it is likely that there were
ships chandlers there who were Jewish similar to those in Chatham and
Portsmouth.

Hello all,
I don't think anyone has mentioned the 2008 book:
The Jews of Linz (review). JUEDISCHES LEBEN IN LINZ 1849-1943.
BAND 1: INSTITUTIONEN
BAND 2: FAMILIEN
by Verena WAGNER Linz
Wagner Verlag, 2008, 2 vols

That is, Jewish Life in Linz 1849-1943
Volume 1: Institutions
Volume 2: Families

This German-language work is a meticulous and comprehensive account of
the community structure of Linz >from formation to the war and beyond,
with many photos. It includes information such as religious
institutions, Zionist organisations and sporting clubs (for example).
The second volume goes into depth regarding details of several
families. I have been sent the books and would be happy to do look-ups
for any members, please respond privately. I have no commercial
connection to the book although relatives supplied some photographs
and data.

I had not used Shtetlseeker http://www.jewishgen.org/Communities/ in a while
and had not yet noticed the improvements. When you locate a town and go to
the map, you can see any nearby town that has a Jewish community. On the
first screen these may be listed on the right. But you can also click on
the "JewishGen Resource Map" link and go to a map with the towns identified
by the JewishGen tree logo. You can click on the towns and find out how
many JGFF entries there are for that town and other information. A terrific
new feature.
