Name Confusion
#records
b_nye008@...
I am doing research into my Hungarian Kohn Family and am finding some with the last name Karpati. I know I am finding the correct people. My great uncle Jeno Kohn came to the US after the Holocaust, but his Displaced Persons Card shows Jeno Karpati and family. Can anyone shed light on this? Jeno was born in Vasarosamany Hungary 10 Oct 1903.

Thanks Sheryl. All of the records that identify place of origin for the family indicate 'Austria', 'Osterreich' or some variation thereof. Unless Prenzlau was located in the Austro-Hungarian Empire, I'd guess its not a fit but I appreciate your suggestion.

Re: Kohen Hands on Woman's grave stone

On Jewish cremation in the UK, in the first instance see: https://www.jewishgen.org/jcr-uk/Affiliations/JJBS.htm The Jewish Joint Burial Society (JJBS) was founded to provides funerals (burial or cremation) for synagogue members as part of the benefits of belonging to a particular synagogue. Currently, JJBS has some 40 member synagogues spread across the Reform, Masorti and Liberal Movements, as well as Independent synagogues, covering in total over 17,000 synagogue members.(1 Emphasis mine. Sent to group as it may be of wider interest given prevailing assumptions about it being taboo. Ittai Hershman New York City

Re: Kohen Hands on Woman's grave stone

I did not perceive your comments as a suggestion someone was not Jewish. And I also make up stories as I try to unravel the lives of those I research. No worries!!!!! I have wondered about the husband as well. His grave at Graceland is not photographed and I am miles and miles away from there. Graceland does I beleive have a jewish section. I know that her father Nathan died in 1888. He is buried somewhere in Waldheim but also has not been photographed, and may or may not have a stone. Her brother who was widowed and living with her and her husband in the 1900 census (he had a 7 year old son) did marry a woman who was baptised in the Evangelical Methodist church and was born in Norway. He had one more son with her, then she died as well. Late in life he married again, before dying in 1933. No photo of his headstone either. One of her brothers adopted the surname Kane. I was unable to find anything on her mother that was definative. It will remain a mystery.

Jewish Surnames in Kobe, Japan
#names
Abuwasta Abuwasta
Dear Genners,
The Jewish community in Kobe started in the midst of the 19th century when Japan began opening to the West. The first Jews who arrived there were traders from Aleppo and then joined by Baghdadis who arrived via Shanghai. After the Bolshevik Revolution in Russia a wave of Jews arrived there and started an Ashkenazi community. During WW2 most all the Jews who were granted a visa to Japan by the Japanese Consul in Kaunas, Sugihara arrived to Kobe before moving to Shanghai. I intend to write an article about the Jews who lived there and as a Genner need surnames. If you know of people who lived there(not as WW2 refugees) please let me know. Any help or tip will be appreciated. I believe that I know most of the articles about the community there. Jacob Rosen Jerusalem

Re: DP CAMP VIENNA SEPTEMBER 1949

Are you sure they flew? It was possible to enter Czechoslovakia from Hungary where Hungarian and Slovakian Jews were collecting first is Kosice and then to Bratislava on the way to Rothschild. From there there is a log about where everyone was sent, depending on health and on where they planned to emigrate and where there was room. Feigie Teichman

My mom and her remaining family also went this way. Contact YIVO library and their sister organization CJE archivists and ask for photos of the DP camps they have. The USHMM has alot of data.as well as the archivist at JDC because the JDC did vocational training at the DP camps. Let us know please what you find. Feigie Teichman

Today there's another beautiful and useful historical cadastral map on the Gesher Galicia Map Room, this time depicting the town of Mielec near Tarnów and Rzeszów (today in Poland) from land surveys in 1850 and 1887: https://maps.geshergalicia.org/cadastral/mielec-1850/ It's a complete lithographed final-stage property map, annotated with building parcel numbers and land parcel numbers but not house numbers: https://maps.geshergalicia.org/ref/caddev/ The 1887 update shows many significant changes to parcel boundaries and even to the structure of the town. Besides new buildings added to previously empty areas plus land parcel divisions and joins, large sections of the town center appear to have been completely rebuilt and not on the 1850 building footprints. Histories of Mielec describe a number of disasters in the town and region even before WWI, including floods and fires; it is possible the 1887 survey records town renewal after one or more of these events. The revision also shows many German-language labels changed to Polish-language equivalents. Although not a large town in 1850, Mielec was already well developed with civil and religious community buildings and lands. By 1887, a new bridge over the Wisłoka River had replaced the earlier ferry, and a right-of-way was granted near the Jewish cemetery for the railroad planned to serve the town. This digital map was processed and presented in interactive format by Gesher Galicia. The original paper map is preserved by the Polish State Archive in Przemyśl.

Re: Kohen Hands on Woman's grave stone

Odeda Zlotnick
Since my two previous responses were not posted in the order they were sent, and seemed to have been somewhat misunderstood, I'll try to clarify:
We have a case of a widow buried in a Jewish cemetery.
So I imagined a story: Was Mr. Dawson Jewish? If not, was she perhaps disinherited by her parents? Some strictly religious parents even sit Shiva on a descendant who marries outside the faith.Is the stone the brothers' way of stating "she does too belong to our family!"?Let me emphasize: my imagined story and my post about it came first and had nothing at all to do with cremation. After that I noticed that the husband was buried in a cemetery with a chapel and a crematorium which - I thought -- supports the probability of the story I imagined. Of course there are Jews who eat bacon, have their bodies cremated, eat bread on Passover, do not fast on Yom Kippur, don't keep the Sabbath, etc. etc. that is not the issue I was thinking of. I did not say - or think - "he was not Jewish because he was cremated". If anyone has detailed info about Jewish cemeteries with crematoria, and when these cemeteries were established, I would be very interested in it - you can reply in private. I did not mean, and do not mean to get into a discussion of who is or is not Jewish. -- Odeda Zlotnick Jerusalem, Israel.

Typically when there's 2 sets of numbers, one set is tied to the "Marriage Certificate" and the other set is tied to the "Marriage License Application". A majority/most of the Marriage License Applications aren't indexed by name because they typically have 2 or more pages and the electronic indexing system that NYC uses has a bit of difficulty with them as the structure of the Application Documents were different by Borough and Date Ranges whereas a majority of the Certificates were/became standard (in structure) for all the Boroughs. This is the reason that, when you search using the Marriage License Application Number, those results reflect something that resembles the following example. L-M-1910-00019624 Not Indexed I hope I had explained this okay via text... Good Luck! -- ~Brian D.

 Is there a look up table that links the two numbers (19545 is cutoff on the top) and 19624, on some of the Certificates, as shown in the image?. The index of marriages available on Familysearch.com provides only one number, so does Italiangen.org. And the Historical Vital records of NY images is indexed by the 19545 series. Why do they have 2 numbers? -- Angel KosfiszerRichardson, Texas
