hello
I am a descendant of FEIWEL BOHRER who lived in GLOGOW MALOPOLSKI Poland/Galicia. (Rzeszów region). Lived approximately between 1835-1916, married in 1854. I have been unable to find any information on FEIWEL BOHRER's ancestors.
[Note: In the past, the name of the place was only GLOGOW, or GLOGOW in Galicia. The addition MALOPOLSKI was added later, to differentiate between GLOGOW in Galicia and GLOGOW in Silesia].
Here is a link to his profile in GENI:
https://www.geni.com/people/%D7%A4%D7%99%D7%99%D7%91%D7%9C-%D7%91%D7%95%D7%A8%D7%A8/6000000054427298019?through=6000000133386551839 Because I ran into a roadblock, I started trying through Y-DNA research.
There are many here who investigate the BOHRER branch from Lizhensk, but a Y-DNA test revealed no connection.
I really like to use Avotainu and jewishdna definitions.
Actually, BOHRER branch from Lizhensk belong to AB-044 ( https://jewishdna.net/AB-044.html )
However, my BOHRER family belongs to AB-049 ( https://jewishdna.net/AB-049.html )
In fact, any man whose last name is BOHRER can have a Y-DNA test for a single mutation (SNP), one or more. Alternatively, you can do a Y-37 test (at least) at FTDNA.
Many researchers use YSEQ's service to test for a single mutation.
For example: I am under a mutation called FT369484.
This test is available for $18 here: https://www.yseq.net/product_info.php?products_id=239898
All people under this mutation share a common ancestor in the direct paternal line, who lived about 500 years ago (he seems to have lived in Poland).
Therefore, if there is a man whose last name is BOHRER who performed the FT369484 test and it turned out to be positive, it is certain that he belongs to my same family.
In contrast, BOHRER's group AB-044 from Lizhensk is under Y15234
(I intentionally wrote SNP that happened 1400 years ago, so as not to violate privacy)
Therefore, any man with the last name BOHRHR who tests positive for Y15234 is almost certain to belong to the branch of BOHRER from Lizhensk.
I don't know of any other BOHRER branches that have done Y-DNA testing, but there may be other different branches. Single mutation testing is good when we already know what the branch is. But, in order to discover a new branch, you must use at least the Y-37 test at FTDNA.
I invite every Jewish man whose last name is BOHRER and whose family origin is possible from Galicia to take Y-DNA tests.
I am available for help on this matter.
For the purpose of the research, I started a group project in FTDNA for BOHRER:
Thank you all!

I am looking for details on:
Rabbi Dr. Leo Pesach Yehuda Jakovlev.
His father's name: Klonimos Yosef.
Probably his origin is from Lithuania.
Lived for several years in Munich, Germany (known for 1915(?)).

On 4/30/1930 he was no longer alive, but I do not know the date of death.
That's all the information I know about it.

My Grandmother's Suitcase Meeting
#announcements
#jgs-iajgs
Linda Kelley
The Jewish Genealogical Society of Oregon invites you, your family, friends and organizations to a free presentation:
My Grandmother's Suitcase: A Genealogical Search for My Hidden Jewish Heritage Jim Van Buskirk At the age of 54, Jim Van Buskirk, who had been raised "devoutly Unitarian", met with his mother after a long estrangement. Facing her own mortality, she had something to tell him: "You are Jewish." She then gave him a suitcase filled with photographs, letters, and documents. Jim began to look for answers to his family's history — and his own identity — by researching his genealogy, talking to previously unknown relatives, and examining the contents of his grandmother's suitcase. The uncovered family saga, ultimately spanning more than 120 years and three continents, was more complicated than he'd ever imagined. Jim Van Buskirk currently works as a book group facilitator, writer, editor, public speaker, exhibit curator, and collections manager. He frequently presents at the Jewish Community Center of San Francisco, the San Francisco Public Library, the Jewish Community Library, the Peninsula JCC, and other locations on topics related to Jewish, literature, film, and/or queer history. Visit his site at https://jimvanbuskirk.com/. To register for this meeting: https://us02web.zoom.us/ After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting. All of our meetings feature closed captions. Linda Wolfe Kelley JGSO Secretary |

Looking for someone who knew Hirsh (Harry) & Fruma (Fannie) Atotsky Family? Three Sons Michael, Harry & Chaim

Looking for someone who knew Hirsh (Harry) & Fruma (Fannie) Atotsky Family? Three Sons Michael, Harry & Chaim
This is my 2nd post asking for help to find Hirsh (Harry) Atotsky's burial place.... He died on Jan 26, 1961 in Brooklyn, NY. The NYC & Brooklyn Vital Records could not find his death certificate record so they voided my order. I was able to find Hirsh's parents names: Jack Yaakov Uri Lipa Halevi Atotsky and Rebecca Euphromensky in his marriage certificate to Anna Halfin Kleiman. I have Fruma's death certificate, their two sons Michael and Harry are buried with their mother Fruma at Mount Carmel in Glendale, NY. Harry's wife Rose Bookbinder is also buried with them. Missing is Hirsh (Harry) Atotsky. I have Rose, Harry and Michael's death certificate. Fruma & Hirsh's son Chaim is buried in Jerusalem with his wife Gertrude Eleanor nee Levine. Hirsh is not buried at Mount Carmel in Glendale, NY and he is not buried at Har Hazetim where his son Chaim is too. Hirsh married Anna nee Halfin Kleiman - she is buried in Worcester, MA next to her first husband Barnett. Anna is buried using her first husband's last name Kleiman. Hirsh is not buried at this cemetery. I looked under Hirsh and Harry as he apparently changed his name to Harry on documents here and there. I have pictures of all of their gravestone. Please let me know if you have other ideas. I have called a number of cemeteries in New York. No luck so far... Thank you Sharon Ann Dror SharonAnnDror@...          |

Firstly, I have to say that the majority of people you match with on DNA channels (I do not bother beyond 3rd cousin) or any paper trail channels do not respond to requests to get in touch, for whatever reason.
I have found a search on Linked In or Google to be the best way to make contact worldwide. Jill Whitehead, Surrey, UK |

Major new Stryków records extraction projects launched
#poland
jeffwexler@...
Stryków, Poland is about 12 miles northeast of Łódź. About 1,800 Jews lived in Stryków in 1900.
Currently, Jewish Records Indexing - Poland has posted extractions of available Stryków birth, marriage, and death records for the years 1808-1870 and basic indices of available birth, marriage, and death records for the years 1871-1904. Nearly 10,000 records for Stryków are already extracted or indexed on JRI-Poland’s website. Long-time Stryków-area researchers will be pleased to learn that JRI-Poland has undertaken a huge new Phase 3 project to supplement and enhance the records currently available, by fully extracting: (1) all available Stryków birth, marriage, and death records from 1808 to 1918; and (2) the Stryków Book of Residents covering the period 1877-1912.
To carry out this major initiative, we have acquired digital images of all surviving Stryków birth, marriage, and death records in the Łódź branch of the Polish State Archives. With your support, we are now looking to produce detailed extractions of all such records in our possession, which span nearly 110 years – nearly 12,400 records in all. In addition to extracting the already-indexed records for 1871-1904 and extracting the unindexed records for 1905-1918 (many of these records are in Cyrillic, so JRI-Poland is raising funds to have them professionally extracted), we are also correcting and expanding the extracts posted on JRI-Poland for the years 1808-1870.
In addition, we are extracting the Stryków Books of Residents, which covers the period 1877-1912 and includes nearly 1,550 records. Books of Residents include detailed information about each person living in a household and are an excellent way to identify entire families.
If you would like more information about the Stryków Phase 3 Town Project, please sign up here. Once you have subscribed, you will receive a full description of the project, explaining how you will be able to obtain extracts of records relating to your family.
A qualifying donation of US$200 to either of the Stryków Town Projects (the Stryków Vital Records Project for the birth, marriage, and death records or the Stryków Population Records Project for the Population Records Project for the Book of Residents) will ensure that you are first in line to receive your family records as they become available and before they go online. Full extractions will be added to JRI-Poland’s website only when a project is fully funded, which may take some time.
Details of how to donate can be found here (on that page, please allocate your contribution to the Town Name “Stryków” (or “Strykow”) and enter “Vital Records Project” or “Population Records Project” as the Project Description). You may need to register a free account with JRI-Poland, if you don’t already have one.

Stefanie, how strange that you both have the same first name. There is a site www.192.com which is a people finder resource, you have to buy credits, I keyed in Stephanie Knight and got 100 possibilities so not ideal unless you have an idea of location. I have found people using a government web site that contains details of registered limited liability companies. So if you match is a director or secretary the details are searchable here: https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/companies-house
The above is free. it’s a long shot either way but you never know……….. Good Luck David Cantor |

Hi all!
I am a match with Stephanie Knight through our DNA testing - a close match. However, I don't know of any ancestors who went to England. I have tried to contact her, but alas, she doesn't respond through the channels I've tried and I've hit a brick wall. She is in her 70's. You now have all the details I have. What's the best way of finding her? contacting her? learning how we are connected? Thank you for your help. Stefanie -- Stefanie Holzman sholzman1@...

Re: Revocation of my mother’s German citizenship - help please …
#germany
I began the restoration process two years ago and got citizenship
earlier this year. On the application form, I indicated that
citizenship was revoked in 1935, and that was not questioned. In
most cases, citizenship was not individually revoked -- all Jews
were stripped of citizenship at the same time -- and thus there
were no supporting documents. I was able to get copies of other
documents by requesting them from the records department of
individual German cities. Most of these records are not online. Looking at the list of documents required (Anspruch Merkblatt) I
don't see revocation of citizenship on there, but they might ask
for it in specific situations, for example, if the individual got
citizenship elsewhere before 1945. Different consulates tend to handle the process differently. I had a very tough time with my local consulate, San Francisco, difficult to get information and appointments. It was definitely a hassle. But I'm glad I did it! JoAnne

📢Ukraine Research Division adds 200k New Records!
#JewishGenUpdates
Avraham Groll
Dear JewishGen Community, Notably, these 200k new records include links to the original images. You can easily search these records, for free, by visiting https://www.jewishgen.org/databases/ukraine. If you locate an image that you would like to fully translate, we suggest utilizing ViewMate (https://www.jewishgen.org/ViewMate/) where you can seek assistance from other members of the JewishGen community. We now have a large team working on our Ukraine Revision List project, and are producing records at an accelerated rate. (In the near future we will expand our focus to Metrical Records). This new initiative allows us to aggressively address the backlog of records that have been collected and have, up until now, relied on individual translators. We expect to add another batch of ~100,000 new records toward the end of December - please watch for an announcement via email and the Discussion Group! To learn more about these records, please click here: https://jewishgen.org/databases/ukraine/Revision.html. A complete list of towns covered in this new update (many of which are in the vicinity of Kyiv), along with the number of records associated with each town, can be accessed by clicking here. The addition of these records was made possible by the financial contributions of generous donors from around the world, and we greatly appreciate everyone’s support. If you are in a position to do so, please consider supporting our continuing efforts by visiting https://www.jewishgen.org/jewishgen-erosity/v_projectslist.asp?project_cat=22 and navigating to “Ukraine Documents Acquisition and Translation Project.” Finally, this project is overseen completely by volunteers. If you would like to get involved, we could use your help! Please contact me at pberenson@... for more information. Sincerely, Phyllis Berenson Director, Ukraine Research Division JewishGen |
