Our family of FEIGENBAUMs is related to the mother of Taube who was a FEIGENBAUM.
Taube's brothers were listed as FEIGENBAUM on their marriage records in Poland. I
will bet because of the practices in Galicia at the time that in Galicia Taube's
last name was FEIGENBAUM (even though I know her father is KAUFMAN) because of the
common practices of the day.

Her mother was Taube KAUFMAN >from Brzesko, Galicia and she was associated with
Pressburg and Nowy Targ.

Julian Peerutin <jushilli@...> inquired on Tue, 13 Sep 2005:

"I recently read an article of the Sorenson DNA Web Site and besides for the
option to search their database for a DNA comparrison I noticed that they are
offering a free DNA test kit. I have no commercial interest with this site, but I
was wondering if anybody had heard about them and what their opion might be on
what they are offering. Below is the article: Sorenson DNA Web Site www.smgf.org "

Comment for those interested: This is an evolving concept in genealogy. In the
past, there have been fees in the order of USD 100 or so for the testing. Please
note that their query form asks for a lot of information, and there is nothing to
date to suggest that this organization is anything but completely ethical. I have
been to a Sorenson presentation at an LDS/FHC forum, and our local gen. society in
Sarasota FL will be featuring a DNA program in early 2006.

However, my personal feeling and skepticism as a "bricks and mortar" researcher
for several years, and visitor to cemeteries, is how does one gather DNA >from
those dead and buried (or otherwise "to dust") for a century or more? The DNA
process may provide a high certainty of relationship to someone alive (and I have
been briefed on those examples), but perhaps all it will demonstate is just that.
How the two people are connected will still rely on conventional research and
documentation to reach the common point. Not quite as far out as cryogenics, and
if we were able to freeze and maintain samples of our ancestors, this DNA process
would really be exciting.

At least there is a suggestion that the cost will no longer be there, but perhaps
this may only mean that one will spend nothing to obtain nothing, or something
that will be nebulous. Might be better to plumb the claimed nearly 400 million
items listed on Rootsweb - WorldConnect (not a commercial project). Still,
nothing ventured, nothing gained.

I have been unable to find any genealogical information about Anton Rubinstein
on the internet. Please help!

See http://www.encyclopedia.com/html/R/RubinstA1n.asp. He was the brother of the
pianist, Nikolai Rubinstein. This website gives two biographies in the
bibliography.

PJAC was recently recommended in a posting to this forum. It is an excellent
suggestion; however, they are in the process of moving the entire archives, which
is a daunting task. They have not yet moved; moving week is the 19th of this
month. Their phone number and email address will remain the same after the move.

They are swamped with work, and probably will not answer emails for several weeks.
Please be patient. They will officially be closed >from September 19 through
October 9.

If this name is known but seen written then it could be Chaya (female).

Can someone help me confirm the names of these locations near Zloczew, Poland
that had agricultural training farms to train Zionist youth for aliyah before
the war?

Zloczew-Bastalcze
Mozigovsky
Niechmirow
Glischenshteyn
Zapola
Domgovsky

Felicia,

Mozigovsky, Glischenshteyn and Domgovsky appears to be peoples surnames, not a
locations.
Perhaps references are made to those people properties?
Niechmirow is listed as property in Sieradz region (Lodz Province)

You should use 1929 Poland Business Directory to identify localities names.

Would it be possible for the organisers to come to an arrangement with a suitable
budget hotel/accommodation/university dorms (not what we call them in the UK, but
I believe the correct US term)?
