Following a recent trip to Warsaw, I now find I need to research the
various resistance groups in Poland during W.W.II, especially the Armia Ludowa (AL)
and Gwardia Ludowa (GL) groups. I've done Google searches and other than
finding some articles on Wikipedia I haven't come up with much. Some of the
articles I've found contradict each other. For instance, one says the Gwardia
Ludowa was absorbed by the Armia Krajowa. Another says the GL was a part of
the AL. I am trying to get a better idea of these groups so that I may try
to apply some of the information to my family research.
Can anyone recommend other sources or books for me to look at? I read
English only, so that may limit my resources.

I am looking for information on Rabbi Henesh SINGER. His wife was my
father's cousin Jocheved KOTZIN (Edith in the US). The came to Los Angeles
from, presumably, Lithuania in the early '20's along with two children,
Joseph and Sophie. Rabbi Singer had a small orthodox shul (I believe my
father called it a shtibel), Congregation Sharei Torah, on Soto st in the
Boyle Heights district of Los Angeles, at least until the late '40's. They
also lived in Boyle Heights, but they may have moved to the Fairfax
district after WWII. Around 1950 he went to Israel where he became a dealer
in and exporter of Judaica. He died in Israel about 1965; his wife
Jocheved died there before 1959. I have reason to believe that his
children, who would have been in their 30's in 1950, stayed in Los Angeles
Sophie married ar Mr LEWIS, and had two children in the '40's or '50's:
Minka and Aharon.

My Israel contacts have no information and there are no local relatives
left who would have known them. Can anyone help?

Firstly, thank you to those who have emailed me about the ancestors of the
SHIEL/SHIELL/SHUEL/SEWELL family, the search continues, and, any other
suggestions or if anyone is thinking of emailing me please do!

Since my last email about my great grandfather Luis SHIEL going to Germany
and never being heard of again - I have now discovered he may have left the
UK (either Leeds or London) and headed to Germany earlier than I thought, in
or around 1904 or 1905, looking for treatment for TB. He may have attempted
to go to Berlin.

The questions tonight are:

1 - why did he choose to go 'there' - what specialist medical services did
Germany/Berlin have that the UK didn't? Did he get the idea to go there

from a possible many other UK residents suffering >from TB going to Germany?

2 - Was there a particular Jewish hospital or private clinic or specialist
or doctor that/whom would have been well known, known about in the UK, and
highly regarded there? How can I find out about this?

3 - Leaving the UK in 1904-1905, would there be/have normally been any
records made in the UK of the destination the person was going to? Where
would any such records be now?

4 - I'm not that hot on the history front, so, can anybody tell me, what was
the political and religious/anti-semitic situation at that time in Germany
like; were UK residents/Jews at risk of being murdered for such reasons at
the start of the 20th century?

Any theories or details about my 3 questions would be very helpful, thank
you.

The "Unususal Comedian" was the title under which my Great Uncle Henry FREY was
known.
He was born in Nowy Sacz (about Feb.1870) and died in Richmond Hill, Long
Island, N. Y. on Aug. 8, 1928, survived by his wife Annie and only son,
Maurice.

Does this sound familiar to anyone?

I received lots of replies about the Flatows. I guess I made a mistake
by not mentioning they were >from Lomza in the north east corner of
what today is Poland.
The Flatows that everyone but one has written about seem to originate

from Germany and Warsaw and immigrated early in the 19th century to

the US and UK.
The American ones seem to have gone first to NY then the midwest and
then some back again. I imagine if I could trace the Lomza Flatows
back far enough there may be shared ancestors but so far I cannot even
trace forward!!

There is a Lomza birth certificate >from 1877 maybe my great
grandmother Frejda Flatow. She is also mentioned in my grandparents
replacement marriage license but I am unable to find a marriage, death
certificate for her or birth record for her children or Ellis Island
entry for her.

There is a possible Polish birth certificate for Julius Chmielewski

from 1896 which gives his father as Elias Chmielewski and his mother

as Freda Yudkovna Leibowitz. Could this just be a coincidence that two
two differnet families >from Lomza with such similar names or could
Fredas family just be habitual name changers :) ?

By the way I am also unable to find any death record for Elias. In the
1970s my grandmother told me that he died in NY which no one else
seems to have known.
There was also a younger sibling Avram Chmielewski who disappeared in
Tel Aviv. Very strange.

I will reply personally to everyone who wrote to me. Thanks for your
help and would be interested in any ideas.

anyone is looking for a family named LINDAUER, here's an unexpected place to
search.>

Yes, unexpectedly too, there are LINDAUER in Vienna and they are obviously a
Galician family that suffered a cruel fate. Their name was apparently originally
ZIEGEL{L}AUB or ZIEGENLAUB. All four members of the family were deported to the
Lodz ghetto on 2 Nov 1941. We remember them here today:

Parents: Chaim Isak LINDAUER false ZIEGELLAUB [sic] {dob 17.05.1884}; Marjem
{dob 25.07.1897} and children: Gisela {dob 24.10.1933}; Leo {dob 14.07.1932}.
Chaim Isak was not a poor man, as he had an asset file in Austria [April 1938].

We also see these two Vienna burials:

LINDAUER - ZIEGENLAUB Bruche age 54, died 18.12.1940; LINDAUER Nathan age 64,
died 28.10.1953. Could Nathan have been a survivor?

Checking in jri.pl you find: One LINDAUER in Tarnopol; 2 in Lwow and ***261***
in Stanislawow Wojewodztwa [predominantly in Kolomyja]. And we have a perfect
match here as the only jri-pl ZIEGENLAUB [59] are >from Stanislawow Wojewodztwa.
If you search for ZIEGEL{L}AUB you find one in Lwow; 5 in Krakow and 56 in
Stanislawow Wojewodztwa.

On Yad Vashem you find, sadly, many LINDAUER victims >from Galicia, some also

from Germany and one >from Bukowina. If you check on some of the German victims,

they were born in Kolomyja.

Where did the Deming, New Mexico family come from? US Censuses should reveal
more. I have no idea, but the above research could give you some ideas. This
was not an Austria-Czech family; statistically it appears most were from
Galicia, especially >from Stanislawow Wojewodztwa.
