Michael Herzlich
I've posted a picture card with Yiddish on the back for which I need a translation. It is on ViewMate at the following address ...
The inscription looks to be Yiddish. I can make out in Latin leters what looks like the date of Feb 18, 1948 and Ulm which was the site of a DP camp in Germany. The picture of a child is on the front and can be viewed at http://www.jewishgen.org/viewmate/viewmateview.asp?key=VM79393 Please respond via the form provided on the ViewMate image page. Thank you very much.

Re: MAIMON family from Rădăuţi Romania - but which Radauti ? (there are two)
#romania
Valentin Lupu
I believe you are right. Probably your Maimon family was originally from Radauti-Prut, a small town in the Dorohoi district. The large Radauti (Bukovina) town became Romanian only after WWI. The Dorohoi Yizkor book mentions an "old" Maimon family from Radauti-Prut. There are also a couple of testimonies at Yad VaShem regarding people of Maimon family from Radauti-Prut.

Regarding Radautz / Radauti in Bucovina: The surname MAIMON / MEIMON does not appear on cemetery headstones, but there are few such entries in the BMD records, to be found in in index prepared by Martina and Edgar Houster, see http://czernowitz.blogspot.com/2016/12/the-radautz-vital-records-index.html. Of course, Radautz-am-Prut / Radauti-Prut is a different place, for which I have no information. Yossi Yagur Israel

Re: BAUMAN from Kutno district
#poland
I have an index to all volumes of the Kutno BOOK OF RESIDENTS (BOR). I could not find any direct reference to BAUMAN or anything similar, but did see a notation which I can't interpret: On a detailed listing for my GOLDMAN ancestors in Kutno that our researcher sent to me, in Volume III-77-81 there is a listing for Goldman, Chaja nee' Hodys b. 1870 with this cryptic notation where they usually indicate a son of or daughter of someone else in the BOR. It says "1. Bauman 2. Kiersztajn, 2nd w/o". Tracing that particular family unit, it seems she was married to Uszer GOLDMAN b. 1868 and the son of Matys Ajzyk GODMAN. This doesn't tell you that much about a BAUMAN family other than someone with that name or who married a person with that name, was in Kutno. It does not seem that any BAUMAN was a head of a household and listed in the BOR which covered a long period. Volume III, for example dates from 1872 and was last updated in July, 1931.

Visas issued overseas (Riga, Latvia) in 1926
#latvia
Ellen
The post about Lodz passport correspondence reminded me of a question I have about visas issued overseas.
My grandparents, with their infant son, went back to Russia from the U.S. sometime in 1925. They probably stayed with my grandfather's parents in Shklov, Mogilev province in what is today Belarus. But the political environment was not what they had hoped it would be, and they decided to return to the U.S. A passenger manifest shows that they traveled from Rotterdam to New York aboard the SS Volendam, arriving on Dec. 4, 1926. The manifest also indicates that visas were issued for them in Riga, Latvia on Oct. 1, 1926. What agency would have issued those visas? Neither of my grandparents was a U.S. citizen at that point, although my uncle (the infant son) certainly was, having been born in NYC. Would copies of the visas be available somewhere? A recent Genealogy Index Search Request that I submitted to the USCIS yielded no information on my grandfather that I didn't already have. Thanks.

Dear Carola Murray-Seegert,
The info. you read in J.G. documents are as per that period they were registered. However, all are the same location. If you check in today info. you get the info. below. This situation has occurred due to the fact that the Regions have been renamed, either during the Communist Regime or after the 1989 Revolution.
Rădăuți is a city in Suceava County, north-eastern Romania. It is situated in the historical region of Bukovina. Rădăuți is the third largest urban settlement in the county, with a population of 23,822 inhabitants, according to the 2011 census.
I trust that now the location is better identified for you in order to continue your research. Good Luck and Happy Holidays. Peninah Peninah Zilberman Happy Passover & Happy Easter Blessings of Good Health Canada 1-416-781-0330 Romania + 40-74-414-5351 Israel 972-54-228-8141

Re: BAUMAN from Kutno district

Hi Michael I had already found a few UK documents and censuses for my grandfather in the UK (I'm subscribed to Ancestry). Israel (Gerald) was my father but he knew almost nothing about his father's life and family in Poland. It's the Polish records that I can't find for him or any other members of his family. I had hoped to find his grave on Findagrave or Billiongraves because that would tell me his and his father's Hebrew names which might give a clue to the names they used in Poland. But it is not listed (yet). Do you know of any other documents where I might be able to get this sort of information? Gers, France (born London)

Thanks in particular to David Lewin I am just beginning to understand what I have. The photo I submitted was taken at a DP camp in Ulm Germany just before emigration to Palestine (Haifa) in November 1947. The family was Elazar (Lazer), Luba and Bern'le (Boris) Shapira (Shapiro). Now I see that I have more than a dozen such photos with Yiddish inscriptions on the back and some without any inscription I will need to follow up on. Also many group photos that appear to be taken in the camp.

It is possible & probably that it was patronymic, particularly since Gottlieb was a common first name. But you cannot be absolutely certain. Mainz was on the left bank of the Rhine, which was under French control from the 1790s until 1815. Thus Jews living in Mainz were subject to the 1808 Napoleonic Name Adoption edit which you can find on line (Imperial Decree, Bayonne, 20 July, 1808). Samuel Gottlieb & Sarah are most likely pre-1808 names. I think it they were not, the record would have said Sarah geboren her maiden name. But some Jews, like my ancestors in Speyer, also under French control, had surnames before 1808. My third great grandfather & his son did, but they adopted different first names & surnames in 1808. This may have been done for patriotic reasons - he named his son Napoleon. But if I had to choose, Moises was born about 1771 & Samuel & Sarah may have died before 1808. You can find the Mainz Name Adoptions on https://www.a-h-b.de/de/projekte/familienforschung/name-adoption-lists https://www.a-h-b.de/de/projekte/familienforschung/name-adoption-lists/mainz where you will see that Moises pre 1808 name was Moises Gottlieb & that he likely had a son named Gottlieb Samuel who became Gottlieb Samuel Pfan.

Dear Peter,
Here's a thought: I was struck by the fact that the first witness's name was Gottlieb, same as the father's "surname." This, and knowing that deaths were often reported by family members, I was suspicious of the similarity of the surnames Mann vs. Pfann. I looked up this original death document on Ancestry.com, and confirmed that there was a transcription error, that the witness's name was actually Gottlieb Pfann. I suspect that the witness was either an older brother or cousin of Moises, named after the grandfather, giving further credence to the theory that Gottlieb is a patronymic. Hope this helps!
