Vabalninkas (Abolnik) families - ATLAS; SANDLER; SHLUZITEL
#general
Rica Goldberg
Dear Genners
Searching the the town of Vabalninkas on the JewishGen Family finder in the year 2000 I see that there was a Daniel Kirschner (#2029) looking for the surname SANDLER. I would appreciate it if he would contact me. Motte SANDLER married Etta SHULZICHEL or SHLUZITEL and came and settled in Manchester, UK prior to 1898. Also, if there is anyone else searching the family ATLAS >from either Birzai or Vabalninkas I would like to hear >from them. Two sisters of my husbands grandfather Isaac SHULZICHEL or SHLUZITEL married two ATLAS brothers in Lithuania. One couple went direct to Cape Town, South Africa and the other couple first came to England for a few years and then in 1916 went to Cape Town. Rica B Goldberg Manchester, UK Still researching:- ESTRY >from somewhere in Poland; BERLINSKIE >from Charlottenburg in Berlin; KAMENSHCHIK >from Zeimia and Jonova in Lithuania; DIAMOND >from Kovno Gubernia; FRANK >from Garliava in Lithuania; LEVI & LESCZINSKIJ >from Sompolno in Poland; SCHULZICKEL (now GOLDBERG) >from Vabalninkas in Lithuania.

Re: Missing Names on Manifests - Really?
#general
david rubin <dovrubin1@...>
Hello,
We lost track of all these comments about missing names. However, we did research many of these missing names that were listed over the past month. We found three positive matches. And, several other plausible matches, that could not be confirmed without more information in the manifest, or because the poster would not except a change in the oral family history. And of course, we are still researching the other names, since data is continually being added and corrected within the many immigration data bases. Our experience has been that there is less of a chance of a missing name, than there is of a transcription error. So possibly in the future instead of continually using this new phase, posters to this forum could go back to the norm of just listing individuals they are unable locate immigration data for, instead of saying they are missing. Finally, thank you Marian Smith for clearing up so many myths. Sincerely, David Rubin and Mrs. Rubin

Re: Searching: SALISBURY surname
#general
Celia Male <celiamale@...>
I had assumed, correctly as it turned out, that it was *the* new 1911
census, Chris Gould was referring to in his SALISBURY name-change query. Chris, a new genner, did not actually identify the census or his country of origin. Following my previous posting, suggesting that the name may have been SALZBERG, I researched further. The main trouble with the 1911 census is that one can only go so far without paying, but I am pretty sure I have pinned down another very credible Salisbury name-change which I would never have thought of. In the 1911 census, you can see a Barnet and Sam SALISBURY in St George in the East. In the 1901 census, I found them {and I think they are the same boys - but to confirm this I would have to pay to see the transcript} as Barnet and Samuel SLABORUSKY. The parents and the older siblings were born in Russia. The two younger boys were born in London. Now that is a name I have never come across - perhaps others will tell us about it. I have found soundex equivalents on jri-pl, but no other mention of the name. Moreover I cannot find the boys' parents in the 1911 census. This just goes to show that the simplest name change may not be the one we are looking for, as other genners know only too well, and that one has to spend some money to do this research properly with the new 1911 census. Unfortunately, that is as far as I can go ... Celia Male - London, U.K.

Re: New Brunswick, NJ

Vivian Kahn <viviankahn@...>
New Brunswick has one of the largest and oldest Hungarian communities
in the country. According to one source, the Hungarian population peaked at 6500 between the wars. That's probably why my Hungarian- born aunt and uncle Jeno Ferber and Margit Neumann decided to buy a chicken farm in Deans, just south of New Brunswick in the 1940's. When we went to visit them my father would often make a stop at the Hungarian delicatessen in New Brunswick to buy sausage. Somerset Street is the heart of the historic Hungarian neighborhood. New Brunswick is also the home of the American Hungarian Foundation, which includes an archive, a library, and its own collection of Hungarian-American art. The Museum's Hungarian Heritage Center on Somerset Street has hosted a variety of exhibitions including on the Hungarian Jewish Community," arranged in cooperation with the Jewish Historical Society of Central Jersey. More recent exhibitions include: "Enchanting Modern: Ilonka Karasz, 1896 - 1981", "Calm Between the Storms: Istvan Szonyi", Hungarian Art Between the World Wars, Works >from the Salgo Trust for Education"," Garden, Woodlands and the Wide World Beyond: Evelyn Domjan - Paintings and Prints", "Balazs Szabo: Fantastic Realist - A Retrospective of Paintings and Works on Paper"," Hope, Despair, and Triumph: Remembering the 50th Anniversary of the 1956 Hungarian Revolution in Art and the Photos of Erich Lessing." New Brunswick has a Hungarian School, Hungarian American Athletic Club, folk dance groups, and hosts an annual Hungarian festival on the first Saturday in June. >from November 1956 to June 1957, nearby Camp Kilmer became the processing center and temporary home for refugees after the 1956 uprising.
