I am looking for information about Rabbi Yitzak RISSAK, who is known
in the
family as a Rabbi >from Riga, Latvia. Has anyone connection or
knowledge of
this family.

Trevor, I looked the Hebrew version of Yahadut Latvia and in the new
book *Latvia Synagogues and Rabbis, 1918 - 1940" and there is no such
person listed.

Both these books only refer to prewar rabbis, so if you are looking for
someone in the 19th century, you need to let us know that.

Chag sameach!

Hello:

I can only find one census record for my great-grandfather and
great-grandmother's family, and am hoping someone will be able to help me!
Their names were Leon and Rachel (nee CHIRLESON) FRANK. Leon was born in
Russia in about 1867 and died in Chicago in 1946. Rachel was born in Russia
in about 1868 and died in Chicago in 1929. Their marriage license is dated
Sept. 27, 1887, and was issued in Cooks Co., Illinois.

Their children were all born in Illinois, and their birth dates were:
Kate, 1888 or 1889
Rebecca, about 1891
Florence, 1892 or 1893
Joseph, 1894 or 1895
David, about 1897
Silvia, about 1898
Ethel, about 1900
Mildred, 1905
Lenore, about 1906
Ruth, about 1910
Evelyn, ?

Using an on-line genealogy service, I found the FRANKS' 1900 census records,
according to which they lived on Elburn Ave. in West Town, Chicago, Cooks
Co., Illinois, in Ward 9, Enumeration District 221, and the info is on Roll
T623 253, Page 4B. I could not find census records for them for any other
year, though.

The other addresses I have are >from Illinois death records. Rachel died in
1929, and her address was listed as 7635 Yates Avenue, Chicago. Leon died in
1946, and his address was listed as 1218 So. Albany Avenue, Chicago. I tried
using the Morse One-Step webpages to determine Enumeration Districts for
other census years based on these addresses, but I don't think my computer
is powerful enough for the webpages to work correctly.

If anyone can help me with this problem I'd greatly appreciate it.

Thanks!

After writing to thank Harold the other day - as he had informed me
directly
of this very exciting sounding pamphlet - I followed up. Through the local
history library, Edmonton, it is being photocopied and sent to me as it is
out of print. Sadly the Baums died some years ago without publishing all
their other research.

My father was a colleague of Geoff Baum in the Jewish Research Group which
published Heritage. He and some others are going through the material left
by Mr Baum to review what they can publish as part of a future edition of
Heritage.

I understand >from my father that he left a lot of material, and that it is
quite a task doing this.

I can't give you an idea of when the new Heritage will be available. If any
of you will be interested in hearing about future publications can you
please send me your email address. I will pass this on to my father, and
hopefully he or an associate will be give you information about the book.

Hello:

I found the names and addresses of people who submitted Pages of Testimony
to Yad VaShem about Shoah victims who may be related to me. I want to try to
contact those who submitted testimony, and before I mail the letters I
would like to ask for some advice.

First, here are questions about the addresses I found. I've left off the
names and house or apartment numbers for privacy:

One person is listed as being on Vitbesky Prozed in St. Petersburg. Does
this street name make sense?

Almost. The first word would better be spelled "Vitebskii", but that isn't
very important. The second word, however, should be "Proezd" (pronounced as
though there were a Y between the vowels), which means "Passage"

Another is listed as being in the town of Ilzivek in the Odessa Region. I
can't find this town listed anywhere. My best guess is that it might be
Illichevsk. Any ideas?

Sorry, can't help with this or the following questions.

Dear fellow researchers,
My grandmother Ewa / Eva HORNUNG DAG, born September 24, 1873, was deported
November 3, 1941 >from Prague to ghetto Litzmannstadt (Lodz) with transport E
. Her address in the ghetto was Rembrandtstrasse 10. No further information
about her is known to me. I have been trying for some time to establish
further details regarding her fate.
My specific questions are:
Does her name appear on a transport list >from Lodz to Auschwitz, or on any
other relevant list?
Does there exist a searchable database of people transported to Chelmno?
Do there exist specific searchable databases of people who have died in
ghetto Lodz, and of those who were buried at the local cemetery during the
existence of the ghetto?
Answers to my questions, as well as any other relevant information, will be
most welcome.

"Rescued >from the Reich"- Conspiracy and Morality Collide in WW II

Speaker: Bryan Mark Rigg, Ph.D

Location: Jewish Community Library, 6505 Wilshire Blvd. Los Angeles, CA

Historian Bryan Mark Rigg has uncovered the true story of one of the most
extraordinary rescue missions of World War II. When Hitler invaded Warsaw in
the fall of 1939, hundreds of thousands of civilians, many of them Jewish,
were trapped in the besieged city. The Rebbe Joseph Schneersohn, the leader
of the ultra-orthodox Lubavitcher Jews, was among them. Working with
officials in the United States government, a group of American Jews
initiated what would ultimately become one of the strangest - and most
miraculous - sagas of World War II. Amid the fog of war, a small group of
dedicated German soldiers, lead by Ernest Bloch, a decorated career soldier
and brilliant spy whose service to the German military earned him Aryan
status, despite his Jewish father, located the Rebbe and protected him >from
suspicious Nazis as they fled the city together through occupied Poland and
Nazi Germany to Latvia, Sweden…and on to America. "Rescued >from the Reich:
How One of Hitler’s Soldiers Saved the Lubavitcher Rebbe," is a
heart-stopping account of the complexity of history, of human identity, and
of morality. As we strive to understand and learn >from the great disaster of
the Holocaust, this book reminds us of the ambiguity and unpredictability of
all human interactions, and of the importance of individual action in human
history.

Bryan Mark Rigg teaches history at American Military University and Southern
Methodist University. Raised as a Protestant in the Texas bible belt, Dr.
Rigg was surprised to learn of his own Jewish ancestry while researching his
family tree in Germany. This revelation, as well as a chance encounter with
a Jewish veteran of the Wehrmacht at a Berlin screening of "Europa Europa,
motivated him to embark on a decade of research while a student first at
Yale University and later at Cambridge University, resulting in his
acclaimed first book, "Hitler’s Jewish Soldiers: The Untold Story of Nazi
Racial Laws and Men of Jewish Descent in the German Military." His work has
been featured on programs including NBC Dateline and Fox News. Rigg served
as a volunteer in the Israeli Army and as an officer in the U. S. Marine
Corps, and he currently lives in Dallas, Texas.

This program, jointly sponsored by the Jewish Community Library-Peter M.
Kahn Memorial, and is free of charge and open to the public. There will be
a book signing prior to and after the meeting, for both of Dr. Rigg's works.

(This message was previously posted on jgsgb-discuss and I'm resending it
to the Ukraine SIG to widen the readership.)

I wonder if anyone can offer me some guidance with interpreting a Russian
birth certificate? My grandmother's family came >from Poltava, in eastern
Ukraine. She was born there in 1902, and I have her original birth
certificate, stamped and signed by the Poltavan Rabbi. There are other
documents that prove her older brother and her father's brother were also
born in Poltava.

However, under the column headed "Current state and names of father and
mother" (transliterated as 'Sostoianye otza. Imena otza i materi') her birth
certificate states: "Father Vilenskaya gubernia, Trokskaya uyezd,
Butrimanski". So instead of locating her father in Poltava, the certificate
places him in Butrimonys, a town far away in Lithuania, in Trakai uyezd,
Vilnius gubernia, .

Is it likely that this entry in fact shows her father's own birthplace, and
that this was in Lithuania? This would tally with an entry in the The All
Lithuania Revision List Database for Butrimonys which matches her
grandfather's name and probable age.

Or could it mean instead that at the time of my grandmother's birth in
Poltava her father was temporarily away in Lithuania?

Thanks and regards

I am trying to find a cousin who came here >from Hungary in the middle to
late 50's. She was married and I have both her maiden and married names.

As far as I know she has always lived in New York City
Since I lost touch with her, her husband has died and I am told she
remarried.

I do not know her married name. NYC records will not give me any records.
Is there a way I can find her using her last married name or maiden name.

Thanks
