Dear Friends,
I need your help to access the Auschwitz Arrival Lists. Your assistance would be 
greatly appreciated. I have names, birth dates, page numbers as well as prisoner

For those who might write back, that the Metro number has too many digits, you 
are right, but it works or you can leave off the "0". However, I have much better
luck with Free-411. Most of the times I have called the Metro number I get a

The correct place to search in the City Register. They have an office in
each county. There may not have been any Court intervention in the sale or
transfer of the property. Do you know the block and lot number or the address?

Hello, Dear Colleague Genners!

As we all know - many issues trouble us during the genealogy research of
our families, and many thoughts often arise. Usually, no one else (excluding the 
members of this and similar mailing-lists, of course ;-) can truly understand 
our deep feelings regarding our research.

After years of telling ourselves what bothers us and what makes us happy
(genealogy-wise), we've gathered in order to tell it to the world.
Actually, it's only a way of telling it to ourselves, but it's public...
:-)

We're now blogging (in Hebrew) our thoughts and feeling regarding our
genealogy reserach and genealogy in general. The blog is not meant to be
informative, but rather, a place for all of us to know that we are not
alone with our feelings.

It is, of course, free to read and comment. Feel free to surf to the new

I'm hoping that someone who speaks Hebrew might be willing to help  
me make
initial contact with a woman in Israel who could be a relative of  
my late
mother-in-law, Borbala Reich's family. As far as we were aware all  
of her
family perished in Auschwitz. However, she rarely spoke of her  
family and we
don't even know the first names of her parents.  She came >from  
Szikszo, a
very small place.  The woman I'd like to contact posted a POT in  
2005 about
her grandfather, Asher Reich,  >from Szikszo.  So, I'm hoping for some
connection.   If she proves to be a relative I would be glad to pay  
for
ongoing translating services, if needed, to continue the  
communication.

Many Thanks,

Re: Question about LEVIN #general

After all these year I remembered: in my Habonim Days (a long time ago) I
went to a camp near Levin in New Zealand. I asked my madrichim but was told
that it was not "Jewish". The Jewish population at the time was about 5000.

For those researching LEVIN, answers.com says that the town was named after
William Hort Levin, a director of the Wellington and Manawatu Railway before
it was integrated into the government railway system in 1908.

A piece of the jigsaw that I hope is of help to someone.

Tombstones Cyrillic / Arabic #general

Edward Potereiko <edwardp@...>

#183993

I am trying to get more tombstones translated, trying to find any clues 
whatsoever. Some stones are illegible to me, but perhaps someone with Arabic 
abilities, and or cyrillic, may be able to see words and letters and make sense 
out of them where I can't. These are stones of Polish/Tartar/Moslem/Turkish 
immigrants >from Eastern Europe around the turn of the 1900's who settled in New 
York and are buried in Maple Grove Cemetery, Queens, New York.  

Any assistance in deciphering (legibility issues) or translating would be 
greatly appreciated.
 
VM 9138 (Image 1222)  Appears to be completely illegible to me. Stone may be on 
it's side, broken.  There appears to be a "v" laying on it's side at the bottom 
of the image along with a "J.M" at the lower right.  Can anyone make heads or 
tails out of this ?
http://data.jewishgen.org/viewmate/ALL/viewmateview.asp?key=9138

VM 9139 (Image 1223)   Combination of Cyrillic & Arabic or Turkish or Tartar? 
tombstone. Star and crescent at top - Turkish or Moslem?.  It appears the 
surname is Shabanovitz (in English).
http://data.jewishgen.org/viewmate/ALL/viewmateview.asp?key=9139

VM 9140 (Image 1224-1)  Is anything legible to anyone on this stone ?  To me it 
just looks like a pattern; however there is some lighter areas that may be 
Arabic script, legible?
http://data.jewishgen.org/viewmate/ALL/viewmateview.asp?key=9140

VM 9141 (Image 1225) Cyrillic lettering, fairly legible, perhaps not completely,
on this tombstone. 
http://data.jewishgen.org/viewmate/ALL/viewmateview.asp?key=9141

VM 9142 (Image 1226)  Appears to be a year of 1917 with a surname of 
"Shabanoviche"  Star and crescent on top, with some Arabic or Turkish script 
that may or may not be legible.  Perhaps some cyrillic, same thing, legible?
Anyone make out full name and date of birth and date of death? Do I have 
spelling right?
