Ukraine SIG #Ukraine Looking for Family #ukraine monroeg@... #624046 Hello genners, I am looking for descendents of the Shapiro family (name was Shapelfka) in the Ukraine. I have been told that they lived in Chmielnick, then moved to Vinniza , probably around 1900. David Shapiro (Shapelfka) married Rifka Dziakowski. Their children were: Chaike (Ida) (born 1896) married Issac Andelman and moved to Chicago, Illinois in the US. The other children were Chasie , Shlomie Yitzhak , Yisroel , Simcha, Sura Avraham and Lazar. Pictures of some of the family taken in Russia around 1972 can be found at: http://data.jewishgen.org/viewmate/ALL/ viewmateview.asp?key=6232 I would appreciate if anyone having information on this family would contact me. Thank you very much. Monroe Ginsburg ST.

South Africa SIG #SouthAfrica RE: SOUTH AFRICAN (CAPE) PARLIAMENT #southafrica Arthur Goldstuck <arthurg@...> #614639 Adam Yamey asked: In the UK all proceedings (debates etc) that occur in the Houses of Parliament are recorded word for word in a series of volumes known as "Hansard". Does such a publication exist for the South African Parliament? If yes, then what is it called? It's also called Hansard. You'd be able to access old records at Parliament itself and in the National Archives. Your best bet is to e-mail them on info@... to find out how to access it long distance. You'd probably have to pay a researcher. Online records only date back to 1999. Arthur Goldstuck

Re: Emigration Dates on US Census and City Directories #general Leslie Weinberg <artsoul@...> #171586 My mother-in-law states her maiden name is "FRIED". Others in her family spell it "FREID", "FREED", etc. She claims they chose to spell it in those ways on their own. When she came to this country, she thought the name was actually "FRIEDLEIN", but Ellis Island has it down as "FREDLINA" and that is exactly what the handwriting on the original manifest looks like. The way she explains all this is that "everyone has his or her own way of doing things".

Most of my Jewish ancestors were in the US by 1900. Looking at the four, US Censuses (1900 -1930) an individual would often have listed 3 or 4 different dates of emigration, sometimes, 10 years apart. I am trying to figure out what led to this. Would it be safe to guess that the date given in 1900 was closer to the actual date? Also I found that my FREED ancestors' names were spelled 8 different ways in the Buffalo, NY city directories.
