I am searching for the family Greenstein/Grinstejn/Grinsten or however it is
spelled, cousins of my grandfather. I think the family came >from Zhitomir in
the Ukraine. One of the sisters emigrated to Canada. She had siblings who
went to South Africa. On the SA site in JewishGen I found mention of 2
people with the Greenstein name:

1. Phil Greenstein of Cape Town - he was the shul secretary of the Cape Town
Orthodox Hebrew Congreagation

2. Herman Grinsten born in 04/01/1914. Came to SA through the port of Bremen
at the age of 20.

I am sure there are others in South Africa with this name.

If there is any connection to your family or if you know anyone with this
family background, please contact me privately.
Thank you.

Warm Regards,

Dear Group,

Can anyone share any information on the daughter of the
previous Blazowa Rebbe?

Her name was Sirka Mindel SPIRA, daughter of ADMUR Blazowa,
R'Yisroel SPIRA (1891 - 1989). She married Shaul RAPPAPORT
of Bilitz, Galicia. They reportedly had a least one child
before they all perished in the Holocaust, on or about
October 18, 1942. The reported "yahrtzeit" is Mar Cheshven
7.

Thank you,

I am told that my great-grandfather, Abraham LANG was the chazzan at the Chevra
Kadisha Synagogue >from the time of his arrival until his death in 1907.
Copies of records that I received >from the Jewish Genealogical Society of Montreal
indicate that many births and marriages of my LANG family were recorded there. Is
there any way that I can determine the validity of the story about his being the
chazzan and if so, when he took this position? I am particularly interested in
the dates as a means of determining his arrival in Montreal >from Romania.
Thank you for any help you can provide.

Dear Friends:

I have found a possible relative in the Dachau Camp Records.

How would I obtain a copy of his information?

I had thought that there would have been instructions on the site as to ordering,
but I couldn't find any.

Many thanks in advance.

I was just given a photocopy of a birth certificate >from Gargzdai (Gorzd),
Lithuania >from an ancestor born in 1869 and need help with the translation,

Russian, I'm told). I'm particularly interested in the last name as it was
changed when my ancestor moved to the U.S.
