Hello Harvey -  Perhaps coincidentally, our family tree shares two family names.  My Romanian-born great-grandfather, Solomon (Shlomo) RABINOWITZ b. 1864 immigrated to the United States circa 1892.  I believe my great-great grandfather, Avram RABINOVCI b. circa 1828, married Ruchel SINGER, b. circa 1827, perhaps in Botosani, Romania.  Per chance, does any of this match anything on your family tree? -  Paul Robinson, Southampton, New York, USA

In searching for a long-lost cousin, I found this potential clue (below my questions) through Ancestry. My great uncle was Joseph Kaplan, and I know he had a daughter named Bertha. My 2 questions regarding the record below are:

1. Since Bertha married in 1940, which means the child (Norma) would have been born out of wedlock, would it be common at that time, especially for a Jewish family, to put down the grandfather as the father.

2. When this Norma is listed in Aug. 1961 as Norma Rabinowitz, does that mean she was married in August, 1961, or simply sometime before that?

Name:        Norma Doris Kaplan [Norma Rabinowitz]
Birth Date: 25 Jan 1938

Birth Place:                  Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Death Date:                19 Dec 1995

Father:                        Joseph Kaplan

Mother:     Bert D Kaplan

SSN:           162303472

Notes:        Sep 1953: Name listed as NORMA DORIS KAPLAN; Aug 1961: Name listed as NORMA RABINOWITZ; 22 Feb 1990: Name listed as NORMA DORIS RABINOWITZ

Thanks,

Hi,
Do any of the family tree programs mentioned here work with Hebrew?
Rachel

There were several posts recently on the subject. Offline store is definitely critical.

Is anyone aware of a way to systematically download all the information from a Geni family tree to an offline store ?

Geni has a programming interface (Geni API) for developer extensions.
But from a quick in the apps catalogue, I could not see that such app was previously developed.

Thank you. -Yaron

 I am trying to decide if I have hit a brick wall or an actual dead end. I cannot find immigration records for my Great Grandparents. Here is what I know.
My Great Grandfather, Max(Mordecai Tsvi or Hersch) Hoffman was born in Veisiejai Lithuania in 1860. He married my Great Grandmother, Rochel Leah Pasiutelis who was from Liskiava Lithuania in June 1887.

They ended up in Pittsburgh PA. Max’s Declaration of Intent was Oct. 30, 1897 and his Petition for Naturalization was Nov. 18, 1899. 

They had one son Abraham Abba born in the old country whose birth date on various census records and death record is listed as 1886 which must be incorrect since the parents were married in 1887.

My Grandmother Fannie Hoffman was the second child. There are no birth records for her anywhere. However there is a family story that she had a twin that died. The City if Pittsburgh has a death record for a baby born to my Great Grandparents that died on July 27, 1894 at the age of 3 months and 26 days. There is no birth record for this baby. The parents state they have lived at this address 3 months and before that Russia.
They had six more children born in Pittsburgh between 1886-1908.

There is a passenger record for a Hersch Hoffman coming alone on the Helvetia from Liverpool to Castle Gardens on Dec. 9, 1889 alone.
No records for Rochel Leah and some Abraham.
Since there is a big age gap between Abraham and the rest of the siblings I assume Max came first alone and later Rochel Leah and Abraham joined them.
I cannot find them and in consequence I cannot determine when and where my grandmother was born and if the baby who died is her twin or not.
Is this a true dead end or what else can I do?

Hello everybody, 

We (Jeff and I) have translated 103 records for Bendery, 1808.  There is interesting information there, for example  70 Jews from that list were local residents, and 33 - citizens of Russia from different towns around, Tiraspol, Dubossary, etc.  Usually we have in the record something like Abram Khaimovich - Abram son of Khaim,  but in several records it is different.  In one record it gives a profession of the person, and couple of records we could not decipher, and asking for your help.

I attached a pdf  file with all pieces we could not read.

All the best,
Yefim Kogan

Luc,  thank you very much.  That is great.  I knew that in Moldova they used at some point cyrillic, but that language goes back probably 15 century or so.

Did you or anybody else in the group tried to read the 'second' page I sent?

All the best,
Yefim Kogan

What do readers believe is the best data base for early 1900 passenger records?

my parents and I arrived to Israel 1960, legacy.  Can anyone tell me how do I find the records of our arrival including dates and any other relevant information.  We got our exit papers in Hungary, I would also like to get those record.  Any advice on how to find these two immigration documents would be greatly appreciated

I  found a record of my ggf Nachman Deutsch coming to the United States from Dolhinov (Belarus, Lithuania, Russia) along with one of his young children Chaim Deutsch.  Then no additional records at all until 1904 when my grandfather Abraham Deutsch came to the United States and the young child my ggf came with shows up coming again.   No records of leaving the US and no records of living here and no records of my ggf????   They must have returned but what a brick wall.

It is a short form of BRONISLAVA.
BrOnja ist a one possibility to be called. And SlAva the second one. 
With an another stress the word BronjA means armor. And Slava means glory.
BRONISLAVA means the glory of the armor.
It is a beautiful russian name.
