Re: Szmul vs Szlama
#names
Chayim Fried
i saw what other wrote but I must tell you that shmuel or Samuel, would never be misspelled, mistaken or entered as szlama which is shlomo in Hebrew or Yiddish, they are two different names, and do not even sound alike unless he had both names

1918 Flu Death certificate
#usa
Gayle Schlissel Riley
On the death certificates for the 1918 flu, what did they label as the cause? My grandmother had a brother who died at that time. I never saw the death certificate, only burial records.
What would they say was the cause, for these deaths? Abraham Schlissel, Detroit Mich. EDER and SCHLISSEL was my family in Detroit. Thanks Gayle

tracing relatives that moved to Israel in 1960
#romania
John Hoenig
I’m delighted to say I recently learned my great grandfather’s brother Moses Honig had two children who survived the Holocaust and moved to Israel around 1960. They were originally from the area of Cluj-Napoca (Kolozsvar), Transylvania, Romania. I would now dearly love to locate their descendants (if there are any).
My relatives were David Honig and Mali Honig. I found David’s grave. It says David Hoenig was the son of Moshe and Tilah; he died on July 13, 1973 and is buried in Haifa.
I’m not very familiar with research techniques for Israel. I would greatly appreciate any suggestions about how I can learn more.
Many thanks.

Hello,
As you are a maven when it comes to the German civil registry system, I have a question. I tried to research relatives from the 19th century in the Brandenburg area called Neumark, but I can't really figure out where to look or where to address an inquiry. Now this area as you know is Poland. best regards, Joanne Grosman researching Grosman, Garbarski, Altman, Bocian, Kremsdorf

#germany - Decipher hand written word in German script
#germany
Richard Oppenheimer
Hello Friends,
One of the benefits of the corona virus is providing us extra time to review old documents while staying home. I have my grandparents Marriage Registration Certificate from Augsburg Germany dated 1918. Apparently a child of the bride was illegitimate, my father. But there is one word I can not decipher. Hopefully one our geniuses can help me here. I have included a photo and attached it as a file as well. The word I can not read is on the lower right hand side. It is followed by "am 27.8.18 " on 27 August 1918. Thanks for your help. Richard Oppenheimer

Re: Need assistance getting three vital records from Berlin

Andreas Schwab
The Düppel Center, also know as the Schlachtensee displaced persons camp, was located at Potsdamer Chaussee 87 in Berlin near the Schlachtensee lake, within the Steglitz-Zehlendorf borough of Berlin. The marriage and birth registers of the years you are looking for have not yet been transferred to the Berlin State Archives and should still be at the Steglitz-Zehlendorf civil registration office (Standesamt).
https://www.berlin.de/ba-steglitz-zehlendorf/politik-und-verwaltung/aemter/amt-fuer-buergerdienste/standesamt/artikel.653199.php At the website of the Steglitz-Zehlendorf borough it is stated that only direct descendants have access to the records. However, according to German privacy laws, marriage records are protected for 60 years, so you should be able to obtain the marriage records. I would first contact the civil registration office at standesamt@... . The birth record is still under privacy protection.

Need help connecting family from Ostrog Russia
Rachelle Litt
Matriarch is Elke (Annie) RUBENSTEN(RUVENSTEN) with daughter Dwogre, and her children Wolf, and Josel. Would like to find marriage info on Elke and Dwogre in Ostrog. . She arrived in Phila in 1910 on USS Merion from Liverpool.Family lore has it that Dwogre also married a RUBENSTEIN so her name never really changed in the US. Also that she was married twice and her second husband Abraham took her name RUBENSTEIN and was really a SHUSTERMAN. Would like confirmation of this. Trying to connect them with a Phillip (Fivel) WESNEFSKY also from Ostrog. It appears Philip came over as Jacob WISNEWFSKY. His son is Maurice Jacob WISNEFSKY(NEFF) Dwogre became Dora in US and had a son Philip named for the above. This is a brick wall for me. Thanks to anyone who can help. Connect directly at rlittrph@...
