Looking for any members of the ROSENTHAL family who lived in Germany
{perhaps Berlin} in the 1920s-- 1930s and 1940s. One member we know of
was Salo ROSENTHAL Another family member was Tobie-Feiga ROSENTHAL
possibly an aunt or sister of Salo. Tobe was born in Sinea {Lithuania}
about 1840. We don't know if Tobe ever spent time in Germany, also
there may have been other relatives of Tobe and Salo elsewhere in
Europe, so far we haven't found them.

We do know Salo's journey ended in Auschwitz.

Tobe married Max KATISKY born about 1836 in Katiskov,Estate in Lithuania,
Suvalki Gubernia , possibly they married in Poland.
Tobe and Max immigrated to the United States in the mid 1870s. Their
daughters Sarah KATKISKY and Jennie KATKISKY were born in Russia. The
sons Eleazer KATKISKY and Louis KATKISKY were born in the United States.

The family settled in Pittsburgh, Pa.

Can you provide information on what was the Kolomyya Jewish National
Cookery-Ezra Association? Its purpose, its operations, its members?

In the conduct of research at the Lviv Archives a researcher working
for Gesher Galicia, Inc. identified records about this Association.
Another researcher working for the Kolomea Research Group examined
the record and determined it contained, " Letters of Elders in Kolomyya
on entering into the Registrar of Jewish Association of mutual aid,
"Jewish National Cookery-Ezra," 1910.

Another record was identified to contain "Letters of Elders in
Kolomyya on entering into the Register of Jewish Charitable
Association, "Tana kiklnia zhydovska," 1910.

It appears to me that both records pertain to the same organization,
do they?

There are a number of other records related to property ownership in
19th Century Kolomyya and student lists for schools in Sniatyn,
1925-1935 time frame. If you are interested in these records please
contact me directly for more details.

Alan,

Obviously "National Cookery-Ezra Association" was not written named in
English in 1910 Galicia.
What was original name of this organization in Polish?

In the phrase "Tana kilknia zhydovska", 1910, last word is "Jewish" but
first two words are not properly transliterated >from the original - both
make no sense.

Perhaps you can scan or at least transliterate correctly original wording.

This is the latest issue of Revue du Cercle de Genealogie Juive :

The origin in Metz of the Alsatian family GROTWOHL: Part2: a
single ancestor for Alsace.

Guy Worms in the first part of his article has mainly used the
traditional *** Ashkenazi naming pattern *** to infer that a common
ancestor, Ephraim, links all the Alsatian GROTWOHLs. Now he exploits the
available research media (pre-marriage contracts by A.A. Fraenckel,
1784 census, 1808 name adoption lists by P. Katz, and links a high
majority of all Grotwohl and namesakes in a descendency table of some
400 individuals.

Denis Ingold

The BRUNSCHWIG family in Uffholtz

Abraham BRUNSCHWIG, Jew >from Uffholtz, is mentioned in 1621, while
crossing the toll at Thann, after a citation in a theft trial in 1617.
He survived the Thirty-Year War and his descendency is known. Three as
yet unrelated BRUNSCHWIG were present around 1700 in Uffholtz. The
author describes the most important members of the BRUNSCHWIG family
during the 18^th century, using civil, Christian and Jewish sources.

Erika Apfelbaum

"nce a day" my family in Little Poland.

The quest described by Erika Apfelbaum originates in the question
asked by her five year-old grand-daughter : =93How was your own contact
with your grandma?. She indeed had seen her grandmother for the last
time at the same age, just before the start of WWII, and after the
war, the topic became more or less taboo. Her model is Daniel
Mendelsohn (/The lost/), and she was lucky to discover a performing
interpreter who guided her during her trips. She was also lucky that
her ancestors lived in three towns located on the railway line Krakow-
Przemysl and thus made her journeys relatively simple. In her article
she recalls the people, places and events of her various voyages to
Poland. The genealogy of her 3 first generations of ancestors and a
little more owes little to documentary research and shows that it is
no less gratifying.
