One of the best sources of information on NYC synagogues is Oscar
Israelowitz's book, "Synagogues of New York City" (which, unfortunately, I don't own).
There are pages in the back in which he documents the history of hundreds of
synagogues, including those no longer in existence.

Might be a good place to look.

I am attempting to get more information on Rabbi Abraham ZSUPUNIK.
(could be ZUPNICK / ZUPNIK or similar), and / or his wife or children.

His first name could be Aliakam / Aliekam / Abraham / A. G. / or
George. He went by all in different sources of info that I have seen

He practiced at Temple Anshi Sephard in Scranton, PA (Area known as
the "flats"), at various times bet. 1916 and 1920.

DOB is approx 1853
DOD is 2/1/1931

He may have spent time in NYC bet 1906 (approx.) and 1910.

Wife was Sarah (AKA Sali / Salli).
DOB bet 1852-1855
DOD 9/5/1924

Children are Rose and Lewis.

Any info would be useful.

When you are responding to a posting on the JewishGen or other digests,
please do not copy everyone who has also responded to this posting. They
can easily read the followup responses on the digest themselves if they are
interested.

It is courteous to copy the original poster to ensure that he/she reads your
response.

Are you saying that one who responds to a query is in some sense
obligated to also send the questioner a copy of his reply? This is
news to me, and I have been using Usenet for well over ten years. It
is totally unnecessary.

The poster of a question participates in the forum either through
Usenet or by email. If the latter, he will certainly receive a copy of
everything the forum distributes, including answers to his question.
If he reads the newsgroup, he certainly will (being interested in
geting an answer) continue to read the newsgroup.

It is not necessary to patronize him by sending him an additional
personal "engraved" copy of each reply. Non-technical people like most
of those in this forum may not realize it, but it is not particularly
good Internet citizenship to send unnecessary messages. It is also not
particularly courteous to send people superfluous duplicate copies of
material they will receive anyway.

And Stan's point was that it is *not* the courteous thing to do, in part
because the recipient gets two identical copies. Stan is, in fact,
expressing the consensus view that grew up in mailing lists and news groups
as they developed.

The difference here is between people who have a background in newsgroup
Netiquette and those who approach newsgroups as the same as communicating by
paper letter.

Whoa! I was just about to thank Ann for the suggestion when Stan's message
through me for a loop.

Lighten up folks. We are here to help one another not be sarcastic or
criticize. By no means did I read in Ann's message that one who responds to
a query is *obligated* to also send the questioner a copy of the reply. It
seems to me to be a courteous thing to do. Frankly, I never thought to do it
myself, but I have often missed a response and would have appreciated a
copy.

If you don't want to send a copy, don't. If you don't want to read a
message, delete it. But, please let's treat each other with respect.

If it were as optional as all that, one doubts that the writer of the
recommendation would have bothered to write it. Once such a thing
becomes accepted as a norm, anyone who doesn't act accordingly is seen
as a boor. So it is indeed compulsory in the end.

This is not a tea party, but a place of hopefully purposeful activity.
An excess of artificial courtesy will contribute to nothing except
clutter, and the same is true of letters duplicating what has already
been posted. What is the purpose of a letter, when the answer to the
query has already appeared where the questioner expects to find it?

By all means, send a copy, so that the recipient has two copies
(including the one that he reads on the forum itself). And when you
receive such duplication, be courteous enough to send a thank you
note; and why not post your thanks on the forum as well, so that
everyone can see that you were grateful. And be certain that the one
to whom you have expressed your gratitude, himself a courtly
man/woman, will write to tell you that you are welcome. One must have
a *lot* of spare time on one's hands to be able to need to fill it with
such make-work.

Remember too the recent discussion of the necessity of sending a
message of gratitude to those who have answered you query -- which
must draw an acknowledgement so that one is not thought ungrateful for
the gratitude. Here again, exaggerated rules of protocol requiring
thanks, and then acknowledgement of the thanks, are clutter.

I do my best to help people here within the limits of the time at my
disposal. My presence here is nearly entirely one sided, as I have
asked questions only twice in all these years since before JewishGen
took over the newsgroup. So I am not trying to avoid sending
superfluous messages myself. If I have succeeded in helping anyone, I
do not expect or want explicit recognition for doing so; my
satisfaction is in the attempt to help, and my disappointment is in
sometimes failing to do so, through error. I have no idea if there are
those who are driven for a need for gratitude; I hope there are none.
I don't know why it even occurs to anyone to send duplicate
expressions of thanks; I think even one is unnecessary, as the whole
function of the forum is to help each other .

I much regret that my explanation of why this is *not* a good idea was
not understood.
