It could be Jurbarkas (Yurberg in Yiddish)? It is in Lithuania, and rec ords of Jews in that town can be searched on the ALD All Lithuania Database

Barry,

I would still recommend that you contact the Jewish Historical Society of England's branch in Liverpool.  They should be able to point you in the right direction.  This is available for free through the JCR-UK database but is slightly earlier than what you're looking for.

This was written by Melvyn Goodman - https://archive.jpr.org.uk/download?id=2273.  I'm sure he was a past president of the JHSE of Liverpool.

Kind regards

The one in the Ukraine seems just in the right area because my Grandfather's sister wrote she was from Bucovina which is in that area. Thanks so much!!! I searched the databases in Jewishgen but maybe I forgot to switch to the search by Soundex. I really appreciate it!!

Looks to me like Yurbrek, Russia. I searched for that in the JewishGen Communities Database using "sounds like" matching and came up with only one result: Jurbarkas, Lithuania ( modern name), which was Jurbarkas, Russian Empire when she was born. Other names listed for this town are Jurbarkas [Lith], Yurburg [Yid, Rus], Georgenburg [Ger], Jurbarka [Latv], Jurbork [Pol], Jurgenburg, Jurborg, Jurburg, Yorburg, Yorvorig, Yurbarkas. Note that all those initial J's would be pronounced in English as Y.

The Vilnius State Historical Archives participated in the Archives Portal Europe project.  I thought that they had put some documents online, but when I checked before responding, I only found catalogue information, I could not find digitized documents. Carol Hoffman's information is more current than my information.

The Archives Portal Europe project is vast, and requires working in a variety of languages.  If someone else finds
links to actual documents, I hope that they will share the information.  I found a catalog listing for one interesting file, but I do not know if LitvakSIG has already indexed it.
The file is Vilniaus rabinų mokykla (Виленское раввинское училище) (Villnius School of Rabbis).

The link to the Archives Portal Europe listing for the Lithuanian State Historical Archives is:

A search for Klauznik at www.fultonhistory.com which is a site of old digitized newspapers, found a 1917 NY Times article which listed names of people in the U.S. being sought by relatives in Russia.  On this list is Miss Etta Klauznik of Detroit.

Thank you for this information - it is good to know that I can cut down the research a bit! Please can you tell me how I can obtain official records for Ulanow, dating back to the 1860s and up to WW2? If I could have a contact email address, that would be most helpful.
Best regards,
Maggie Jacobs

Please excuse me for not replying sooner but I haven't had an internet connection over the last few days.
I haven't come across the Metzger family while researching our Eisenhandler and Werner connections.
I am particularly interested in Tobias Eisenhandler, born 1865 - I think in Nowe Miasto, but I have no birth record to
officialize this. I know nothing definite about his parents. He married Lea Werner, who was born in Ulanow in 1867. Once again, I have no birth certificate or marriage certificate. They had five children, all of whom used the surname Werner (common at that time, I am told). The first three children were born in Nowe Miasto between 1890 and 1898. The fourth was born in Ulanow and the fifth in Vienna. Tobias and Lea were divorced on 24/12/1918 in Ulanow. She died in Paris in 1938.
Tobias married twice more, first to Lotti Reinisch on 3/5/1920 in Ulanow and they were divorced on 15/7/1920 in Ulanow. He later married Frieda Zahler, born on 18/2/1895 in Poland. Tobias and Frieda had a daughter Rosa in 1926. All three of them perished in Treblinka in August 1942.
i don't know whether any of the above appear in your family tree.
Good luck with your research,
Maggie Jacobs

If the death certificate recorded the event as an accident, then there's a chance that the medical examiner was involved and some paperwork may exist in the medical examiner's office providing additional information about the accident (in New York City, it would be the Office of Chief Medical Examiner).

Hi Katie.
i passed on your message to my husband's cousin. He thought it unlikely there was any connection between your Werners and ours. None of the names you mentioned appear in our family tree. We are researching Tobias Eisenhandler, born 1865 in Nowe Miasto (I think, but I haven't managed to trace his birth record). He married Lea Werner, born 1867 in Ulanow. Once again I haven't found the marriage record. They had five children, all of whom took the name Werner (I am told this was not unusual for the time and place).
i hope you manage to advance with your research.
By the way, I have been without Internet for the past few days, which explains why I didn't reply earlier.
Best regards,
Maggie Jacobs

Very kind of you, Kathryn, to take the time to look through the book. I have come across a couple of places where it is for sale at a hefty price! Even though the Clarke family is not mentioned, unless it is too long, would you be kind enough to list the contents or otherwise indicate the type of information the book provides. Basically, I am wondering if it would be worth buying a copy for an insight into the life of the local Jewish community in Liverpool at the beginning of the 1900s. Does anyone else who may be reading this thread have a recommendation of a book re Jewish immigrant life in Liverpool this era?

Thank you all,

All families originally from Poland.

You might consider nearby Paszto, Hungary. Less likely, the larger city of Pecs, Hungary.

If the householder was eligible to vote, they would appear in voters lists. If they owned or rented property they would appear in the property lists on Scotland's People website. My mother's family the Browns lived in this area of Edinburgh. I do suggest looking through Scotlandspeople website for resources. You pay for a block of views/downloads, according to how many you need.
