Hi Bruno,
May I suggest you upload future images to JewishGen's dedicated image translation/interpretation site?
They don't upload immediately, but they stay there for a whole week - and all responses there are public, giving everyone a chance to contribute and learn,
ViewMate - Image Gallery (jewishgen.org)
ViewMate - Instructions (jewishgen.org)

As for the new images:
The name is Aharon son of the honored rabbi rav Shim'on.  The next characters - last in the first line of the first image, first on the second line of the second image look like a stylizes z"l to me = i.e. "may his memory be blessed" and indication that at that time Rav Shim'on was no longer alive.

The next word if "from Hellringen" or something similar.  The ending "n" or "en" could have something to do with the name in German - we are after all in Alsace Lorraine here....

My great grandmother’s maiden name was Yount. In tracing her family lineage I saw where is was originally Jundt. I’ve traced her lineage back to 1580 I believe it is and found many Jewish names. Her family too was in Pa. At least some of them. I have records where some Jundts were Jewish. I too believe them to be Jewish and maybe converted at some point. My dna results show some Ashkenazi and Sephardic lineage. This great grandmother lived in Central Texas where it was not good to be German or Jewish in the late 1800s when she was born. She always said she was black Dutch.  I knew her very well. She died in the 1970s.

Alex,

It looks like my brother Yoss'l, but the proper name is somewhat obscured.

Dear Odeda, Irwin and Laurent,

I'm looking for some guidance on where I might locate the property records related to property in Maramarossighet (

Sighetu Marmației) 

from about 1874/1875 or so. My ancestral cousins, Zadyk and Hermann Groedel owned a villa in town on Strada Dragos Voda, and I'm trying to identify when it was acquired and who actually purchased the property. 

Thank you.

From the article in Current Biology:
"Sediment surrounding the remains comprised soils from outside the well, suggesting bodies had been rapidly buried by soil after deposition. The well stratigraphy suggested that the well was disused and dry at the time the human remains were interred, and probably being used as a midden."

I should have read this before my post. Sorry.

The Jewish Genealogical Society of Palm Beach County will feature a presentation by Jennifer Mendelsohn “No, you don’t have 7,900 4^th cousins!” on September 14.

Jennifer Mendelsohn’s presentation“No, you don’t have 7,900 4^th cousins!” illuminates the problems identifying a person’s ethnic heritage, and uses data from Ancestry, Family Tree DNA, MyHeritage or 23andme.  Ancestry currently boasts some 4 million people in its DNA database.  These tests provide a list of people with whom you share DNA, ranked in order of predicted closeness to you: your genetic “cousins.”  Trying to connect with your newly found relatives requires a bit of a learning curve.  Her presentation focuses on endogamy, (the custom of marrying only within the limits of a local community, clan, or tribe), knowing your numbers, interpreting shared matches and names.

Jennifer Mendelsohn began her career as a journalist and ghostwriter. A former Washington, DC-based special correspondent for People, her work has appeared in numerous local and national publications including The New York Times, The Washington Post, USA Today and The Los Angeles Times. A native Long Islander now based in Baltimore, Mendelsohn serves on the board of the Jewish Genealogy Society of Maryland and is the administrator of Facebook’s Jewish Genetic Genealogy group. A veteran of many successful unknown parent searches, Mendelsohn is also the creator of #resistancegenealogy, a project that uses genealogical and historical records to fight disinformation and honor America’s immigrant past. Her work has received international media attention, including features on CNN.com, The New Yorker, The Washington Post and Yahoo News.

 

The Northeast Indiana Jewish Genealogy Society will be hosting its 4th annual open house, “Meet Your Mishpocha,” on Sunday, September 11th from noon until 2:00 p.m. at the Rifkin Campus, 5200 Old Mill Road, in Fort Wayne. Designed to help people connect with their Jewish roots, this event will be held in-person with an option for guests to attend three presentations virtually.

This year’s presentations include:

• Mike Brown, executive director of the Indiana Jewish Historical Society (IJHS), speaking on the history of IJHS in northeast Indiana
• Sara Allen, genealogy librarian at the Genealogy Center of the ACPL, discussing DNA research
• Suzanne Grimmer, archivist, who will speak about preservation

On-site features include

• Advice on digitizing photographs and documents including opportunities for scanning
• Expert advice with beginning one’s family history or forging ahead with one’s current research
• Insights with interviewing people for oral history research and up-close accounts of the local Oral History Project
• Virtual tours of the NEIJGS’ Fort Wayne Jewish Families Database
• Information of the ACPL Genealogy Center and the Allen County Genealogical Society

Door prizes available to attendees include a free DNA kit!

In reply to Graham Lewis:
Clearly, there was no understanding of the source of whatever was
afflicting the people. That throwing dead bodies into  ground waters
that may have fed their own wells was suicidal never entered their
minds.   The germ theory of disease was not proposed until the 19th
century.
