Risa, I'm wondering if you have Portuguese Citizenship as you signed off with Portugal and Arizona.  I have many questions about obtaining Portuguese citizenship. I visited there a year or two ago.  Could I possibly email you?  Many thanks!

Yoel,

Despite not having all the tools I normally have (desktop in the shop) I think I can see quite a bit here.

At the top, on the curve is a Hebrew date, and to the best of my ability, it looks like 18 Adar2 5643 (= 27 March 1883).  The last letter of the year is a bit difficult to read, so I hope this is right.

A few rows down, I believe I see the name Shraga Aharon (maybe) Leib (maybe), who died at an old age.  
Further down, I am assuming the father's name here was Mordechai.

Perhaps these pieces of information help you, but it's the best I can do at this time.

Regards,

I didn't know that there was a Jewish community in Jakobstadt (now Jēkabpils). That is where my maternal grandfather Dr. [Isidor] Hermann GUNZENHÄUSER, an Oberarzt (supervisory physician) in the German Army, lost his left eye due to shrapnel on September 29, 1917, not long after having been transferred from the western front. See attachment. Of course, a Jewish community in 1958, doesn't imply one in 1917.

Searching   Goldstein/Kaufer

I am searching for relatives of Joseph Goldstein and Lillian Kaufer of Chicago.  They had 3 sons  Morris, Sydney, Emmanuel, and 2 dtrs, Gertrude and Anna.  I am hoping one of their survivors will recognize and be able to identify who is in the attached photo from the early 1920's.    Thank you.

Is the 1958 Revision List for Jacobstadt, Latvia extant?  If so, is there a translated version?  If so, where can it be accessed?  If no translation exists and it is extant, where can the original be accessed?  Thank you.

Hi Donna,

Not that I know of. Mine are from Kherson city. I have a record of one birth from there and there were others available to me but I didn't know how any of the others were related. The one I got was of my great uncle's birth in 1855. It proved his name and my great grandparents names. I was thrilled. Actually there were two documents ; one in Russian and one in Hebrew or yiddish. They were identical.

I have good news and bad news - the good news is yes there were some records that survived.

The bad news is here is a photo of those records now at the Khmelnitsky archives attached - I hope this comes through

Hello, 
The date in Menachem Av is 24. The actual words used are 24 days. And, David, you are correct. The two letters before the date are Z"L .

I have recently learned that the Jewish Cemetery in Nyirbator has been restored and protected by the HFPJC.
I am looking for someone who can visit the cemetery and search for a particular stone.
I do not, however, know if a stone actually exists.
Please reply privately if you can assist.  I have the name and death date of the deceased.

Thank you

Susie,

Unfortunately, birth records recorded in Ukmerge are sparse. There is 1895, which has been indexed, and then 1922-1939, which have not been indexed yet because of 100-year privacy. That's it, unless something new turns up somewhere. If you are seeing birth records for other years (e.g. 1914) they may mention Ukmerge as, for example, the father's place of origin, but they are not Ukmerge births and would have been recorded somewhere else.

We declare that in the presence of witnesses - Jews Aron Shtarker, merchant of the 2nd guild, 42 years old and Froim Gershengork, 53 years old, living in the city of Bilgoraj, a religious marriage ceremony was concluded between the Jew Yantsiy (possibly) Klyugman, single, 22 years old, son, alive - Itska and the deceased Leia, nee Schleicher, spouses Klugman with Royza Shturman, maiden, 19 years old, daughter alive - Yoser Wulf and deceased Tema, nee Gorenberg, spouses Shturman, born and living in the town of Bilgoraj. This marriage was preceded by 3 announcements published in the Bilgoraj Jewish synagogue on Shabbat days, namely: April 17 (29), April 24 (May 6) and May 1 (13) this year. The newlyweds stated that they were not related to each other and that they had not entered into a prenuptial agreement. The religious wedding ceremony was performed by Yankel Guzhev, who is taking the place of the rabbi of the Bilgoraj Jewish District.

 

 

After reading this act in the presence of the rabbi, it was read and signed by witnesses, with the exception of the bride and groom, who announced that they were not literate.

Hello,
I've posted on Viewmate an entry from a Jewish death book from Ratibor, then in Silesia. There is one word I cannot decipher.
The details of this word appear on Viewmate, here:
