Yesterday I submitted a marriage record in Polish for translation.  Somehow the link to the record in my email was corrupted.  So I'm trying again.  The record is in two parts, the top half is at

The bottom half is at

Thank you very much.

Benjamin BOROK and Reyza Bratslaver lived in Akkerman, Ukraine from the 1890's. How best to find records for that area and time?

I have posted a photo of my great uncle who disappeared after 1929, thank you so much of someone could help to work out if it was taken in Vienna, here is the link: https://www.jewishgen.org/ViewMate/responselist.asp?key=82175 

Could this be the same family? 

Birth of Son Leib Louis Mucznik Muchnik Muchnick(1878–1947)

1 Feb 1878 • in Tiraspol, Kasan, Russia

If so, please email me for more ancestry information. I don't know much but am happy to share what I have.

My great grandfather's brother ,David ABRAMOWITZ left New Haven, Ct.,
sometime around the turn of the 19-20 th. cent. (maybe earlier) to
seek his fortune in Boston. He found work in a dept. store and (after
marrying into family of the owners ?) rose to managerial position.

In the mid1930s my grandfather tried to contact his uncle at the dept.
store and was "brushed off" being told that David was an elderly man ,
not in good health and was vacationing in his winter home in Florida.

David may have changed his family name (ABRAMS?) and most likely did
not lead an orthodox jewish life as my grandfather did and may not
have wanted to have contact with his religious family.

David was one of four orphaned siblings who came to the USA (New
Haven) with their widowed mother Gittle ABRAMOWITZ, originally from
Novarodok (Belarus ?) presumably around 1870-1880. He was probably
close to his sister Sarah (don't know her married name) but she and
her husband lived (or vacationed) on Coney Island, NYC. My late
mother met Sarah on Coney Island during the first half of the 1930s.
Sarah seems to have had a grandson, Tom, who also may have also lived
or studied in college in the 1930s and was my mother's age (then early
20s).

The above was wrtten in my mother's autobiography and I am not sure
that all the details are 100% correct.

If the above story sounds familiar to anyone I would be happy to hear from you.

TIA

p.s. My great great grandmother was somehow related to Rabbi Isaac
Simcha HUREWITZ who served during the first decades of the 20 th cent.
in Hartford, Ct.

the commercial sites hold out the promise of magically finding all your relatives, neatly laid out for you by their genealogical pixies, and all you have to do is click on the link (and please have your credit card ready).  many beginners seem to fall for this, and happily glom onto what they think is “their file”.

this reminds me of an old jewishgen infofile, which is good reading, especially for newbies:

https://www.jewishgen.org/InfoFiles/dlfable.html

anybody who’s been doing research for more than a few days has come across bad information, because there’s so much of it, and yes, it’s made worse by being copied-and-pasted into hundreds of locations.

i suggest people might want to share tips on how to spot bad information.  i unsourced information is automatically suspect, but not all public trees allow sources.  and sometimes details are a giveaway, like inconsistent dates or spouse’s name, or occupation.  or sometimes there’s a whole lot of duplication of entire sections of the tree.

the other aspect of poor vetting is how to make corrections.  the posters of poorly researched data don’t always want to fix it.  either they’re unable to imagine that they could have made a mistake, or they’re more interested in just having the biggest tree, or whatever.  but suggesting corrections can be a frustrating experience.

I have searched major sites for arrival information of Avram/Abraham BERCOVICI/BERKOWITZ born in Romania around 1884, arriving in US around 1903/4, and settling in Philadelphia (appears there in 1910 US Census) . Also searching for arrival information of wife Pepi/Bessie BRODER (nee)/BERKOWITZ born in Romania around 1884 and arriving in US around 1903/4, because daughter Pearl born 25 December 1903 (one records show 1902) in Romania and was 7 in 1910 US Census. Other 3 children were born in Philadelphia: Dora/Dorothy on 09 Aug 1904/5, Jacob/Jack on 20 Sept 1905/6, and Ella/Alice on 7 July 1907.
I'm stuck, and any information leading to the arrival dates/ships for Avram/Abraham, Pepi/Bessie, and Pearl will be much appreciated. I've searched arrival records of NY Ellis Island, Philadelphia, Baltimore, and Canadian Border. The closest hit I get is Abraham Berkowitz (but he still went by Avram Bercovici in 1907) , arriving on the ship Saint Louis on 18 July 1904, but with no family.
Thank you.

Jana:

I have been doing a long-term community study of the town of Labun (called Lubin in Yiddish and now known as Yurovshchina, Ukraine), which is 18 miles from Shepetivka. In 1921, a family of five children (Mania, Jankiel, Chaim, Mojze and Usla Fertel) arrived in the United States heading for their uncle Hyman Boris. They had all been born in Labun. Their parents were Abraham and Fannie (likely Feiga) Fertel. In the United States, the children took the surname Fetell. My research also indicates that they had an uncle in the United States named Ben Fetell.

My blog contains two posts regarding Fetell family members:

http://extrayad.blogspot.com/2015/10/tombstone-tuesday-benjamin-and-adell.html (Adell Fetell Norflus had been Usla Fertel)

If you think this may be your family, please contact me privately and I will share more information and records.

Not the site but the Submitter. The keyword is Submitted. The submitted information is only as good as the quality check done by the original submitter, not the site itself.
Matches and Hints are suggestions. Double check. Others might automatically add a "hint" or "match" to their own tree, not realizing the information is not correct or a completely different person with a similar name.
Over the years the issue is compounded by more trees copying the same misinformation.  
 So always track back to the source to confirm.

I transferred from My Heritage because my tree got too big for free membership.  I am now with WikiTree and find it excellent, it  is totally free.  A different format from most of the sites but the tools menu allows a traditional tree view.  Like Geni it is a worldwide tree so there is only one profile for each person however many people share the ancestors; that might not suit everyone, but I have been with them since 2014 and find it great.

I am hoping to figure out relationships between the Lindheims of Rennerthausen.  Many came t the US in the late 1880s but others did not.  There also seem to be a couple of step families as well.I am having a hard time figuring out birthdates and marriages.  Any info would be appreciated.  Thank you
