My great grandfather Joseph Eliezer Edelman from Narewka Poland is buried in the Cemetary Warszawa (Okopowa) Sector 75 Row 13 #55
I found a photograph of the tombstone online but we were unable to translate the entire tombstone due to the unclear picture.
Can someone take a clear picture of his tombstone and help me complete the translation. I think that the stone reads something like:

•       A day of wrath and rebuke upon us

•       Oy v’avoy (Woe) we all cried out

•       We were left crying out and mourning

•       The death of our father, a blow to our heads

•        

•       A gentle/comforting man and beloved (sought after) by all creatures.

•       He didn’t go in ways of lies and deception

•       His hand was outstretched to help his fellow man

•       He was exceedingly honest and wholesome

•       The flow of tears has been blocked from our eyes

•       Our heads…..

•        

•       Our father, our teacher, beloved of our hearts

•       Mr Yoseph Eliezer son of Benyamin

•       Eidelman from Narewka 

•       He returned his soul  Adar bet (16) 5673

•       May his soul be bound in bonds of eternal life

•       (The last few lines are really hard to read, a lot of guess work here).

My maternal great grandfather was from Rajgrod ( I think) in the Lomza Gubernia region of NE Poland. He died young, sometime after the conception of his only child, my great grandmother Ida Sara Zylberstzejn (nee Achiezer). Her mother Sheine/ Jenny (nee Cyprokowska or Cypkowska) (circa 1846-1902)  remarried Reuven Palenbaum from Szczuczyn when Ida (Chaya Sarah) was still an infant.  Both were widowers. Reuven Z Avraham had several children from a previous marriage and went on to have two more with Sheine (Szejna) - Perla z Reuven Finkelstein (Nee Palenbaum) b. circa 1864 and Isaak (Jacob) Palenbaum b. circa 1870. 
On Chaya Sara (Ida's) tombstone her father is listed as Eliezer. On her mother's marriage certificate to Reuven Palenbaum  in Szczuczyn it appears his name might have been Shmuel (Her fathers name Shmuel Cyprokowska).  I have not been able to locate:
1. Chaya Sarah's birth record (circa 1862-1906)
2. nor birth of her husband Shmuel? Leizer? ACHIEZER (?) 
3. Records from Scheine's father's family CYPROKOWSKA
4. Marriage certificate of Sheine to her first husband ACHIEZER
5. Also Issac, Jacob Palenbaum came to NY but I have not had much luck tracking his line of the family in the USA

Thanks for help with this research.

I have traced my paternal line back to my 5X Great Grandfather Abraham FUSSFELD from Brody, Galicia (Ukraine today).  His 2X great grandsons emigrated to the USA in the late 1800s.  I  would like to find the origin of the last name of my family.  It is Germanic in that it literally means "field (feld) of feet (fus)" in German.  
Any help or ideas are appreciated.  Thanks.

Some 10 years ago I found a letter written to me by a young lady who
signed as my "little sister" Franny. The letter was written in 1965
when we both college students. Not remembering such a "little sister",
and her family name nor her address were on the letter I started
investigating about her through this jewishgen group and found that
she was the daughter of a Rabbi Irving Dick (Conservative) and was
living then in California ( I think in the L.A.) area/

I asked then members of this group, if anyone had contact with her, if
she would like to reconnect with her "older brother" but was informed
that she was not interested.

I understood from the letter and hearing a bit about her personal life
that she has had several disappointments in life (I hope I'm wrong) I
don't want to pry, but if anyone in this group can contact her and
find out if she would like to renew the above connection.

I'm open to suggestions to "drop" the issue.

The invetigation 10 years ago with the help of this group was fascinating.

The DOE project is a US Project to identify dead bodies that have been located by police where no identification of the body has ever been made - so the remains are "John Doe" or "Jane Doe".  This will permit families with a family member who has been missing for years to have some closure.  The project focuses on adults, as it does not want to have anything to do with identifying criminals.

Jacob,
  Also, looking in the Friends of the Budapest Jewish Cemetery database, I find:

Marta Fischer, wife of Nandor Braun, died 1965 age 70 (therefore born about 1895), Section 24/B, Row 23, Grave 2.
And, Nandor Braun, died 1968, age 83 (therefore born about 1885), Section 24/B, Row 23, Grave 2.

So it is quite possible this is your Marta Fischer and she remarried to Nandor Braun.

Jacob,
  Looking in the MACSE.hu database I find the marriage in FamilySearch at:
https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:S3HY-6PQC-Y4M?i=284 

  Here is a screen shot of the MACSE info and one of the FamilySearch record:

My father left Lodz —at the time part of the Russian Empire —in 1917 or 1918. What he said is what follows. Obviously I cannot verify it.
He was living with his paternal aunt (Fanny) at the time (the Prussian had taken his father prisoner, and his mother had died of typhus a few months earlier).
Fanny had a son, Zacharyiasz, who was about the same age and had the same first name as my father’s older brother who had already left Poland. As so many Jews at the time, Fanny’s son was drafted in the Russian army and deserted. To flee, he assumed his cousin’s (my father’s older brother) identity on what my father called “a family passport” (I still have to find out what exactly was this document). Fanny gave them “a lot of money” and they left town one evening in February. They were picked up by farmers. I am not sure how far they went that way, but they arrived in Breslau where a Jewish organization helped them make it to Germany (yes, Germany!!), Kassel to be exact, where his father was. From there he ended up in the Kassel Jewish orphanage until he was 14. Zacharyiasz emigrated later (20’s) with his German wife and young daughter to Argentina where he stayed until his death in the 70’s.
I know that part to be true because I found his grave (with photo) in a cemetery in Buenos Aires, the identity of his wife and daughter and the ship manifest where he was listed.
I can’t imagine this story is unique.
Good luck on your search.

I agree with that but the problem I have had with family finder is (1) there is so little information on it, and names are so common, its really a needle in a haystack and (2) contacts on it I have found  are generally exceedingly old. Emailing someone who hasn't been on the site for 10+ years based solely on a surname with nothing else  seems pretty pointless .

there are several pages about him in Vikipedia

Dr Josef ASH, Israel

There is a museum of work by Isaachar von Rybak in Bat Yam Israel.  At least until recently, it was managed by his wife.
I believe that there may also be a catalog Raisonee of his work.

This information is off the top of my head.  You can get a good information as well as pictures of his work by googling his name, checking Wikipedia, etc.

I guess we approach our research differently. I would never even consider cluttering up a help board with  all of my relatives on a board like this. I would only post the one I am stubbing my toe on that I need help with. I get very frustrated trying to contact everyone who has a relative with the same surname in a given georgraphic area and then waiting for a reply that rarely comes. Usually don't even know if the message was received or the person is still searching.

The once genteel backwater of Sephardic genealogy has recently hit the
headlines with scandal over certification of candidates for Portuguese and
Spanish citizenship. David Mendoza believes that the underlying problem is
the rise of the crypto-Judaism movement that claims that literally hundreds
of millions of people have meaningful Sephardic ancestry. What is this
movement, where did it come from, and what are the implications for
Sephardic genealogy? David shares his personal opinion in this Sunday's
Sephardic World meeting.

David Mendoza is a host of Sephardic World, a founder of the Sephardic
Genealogical Society and principal author of their Code of Conduct. He
currently works as a professional genealogist. He has a background in
business-to-business market research including developing statistical models
of global markets.

This meeting is on Sunday 30 October 2022 at 11am in LA, 2pm NYC, 7pm
London, 8pm Paris/Amsterdam and 9pm Jerusalem. Patrons can join us on Zoom.

Hi Geoffrey,
I don't know whether the following adds to your extensive knowledge base about the former college, but what about the resources of the Derbyshire Records office, or Derbyshire [family] History Society/grouping or Derbyshire newspapers of the time or BMD records for the area? Anyhow, here is a link for newspapers. https://www.britishnewspaperarchive.co.uk/search/results?county=derbyshire,%20england&mostspecificlocation=derbyshire,%20england&sortorder=dayearly&sourceID=13&utm_source=affiliate&utm_content=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.familyhistory.co.uk&utm_medium=affiliate&utm_campaign=bna&awc=5895_1666769074_a33d8747c4df746edfd1241e05588fde
