Lithuania SIG #Lithuania RE: Expulsion and went to Rostov-on-Don #lithuania

Roman Vilner <rvilner@...>
 

it appears that there is some confusion here.. original discussion was
referring to expulsion in 1915, which was during WWI (one), while Linda
Morzillo seems to be talking about the evacuation, not expulsion that took
place during WWII (two), when many Jews were in fact evacuated to central
asia.

I'd like to clarify what Meri-Jane Rochelson wrote about her father's
family:
There was a major expulsion of Jews >from Lithuania in June 1915. My
father's family, in Kovno, ended up in Rostov, Russia and stayed there until
1921. (If they had not returned to Kovno, the Holocaust would not have
found them.)
During research pertaining to my maternal grandfather who was born in 1882
in Rostov, (known as Rostov-on-Don), I learned that many of the Jewish
population left Rostov before or during the time that the Germans arrived.

Lithuania SIG #Lithuania Help understanding the 1878 revision list #lithuania

Howard Margol <homargol@...>
 

<<Michael Goldstein asks - The former registration of family members I
located on the 1878 revision list was 14/14. I came across other families
on different pages whose former registration numbers were also 14/14.
Is there a connection between these people? Does this mean that these
people (or some of them) were part of the same household in the previous
revision and are related?>>

Several explanations are possible. Both families could have been living
together at the time of a previous census and were related. Or, they could
have been sharing the same house or apartment but were not related. Or,
some of the individuals could have been living with a family previously but
were not related - they were servants, or boarders. Additional research of
other records may prove which scenario is correct.

South Africa SIG #SouthAfrica Translation: help, please! Afrikaans to English #southafrica

Adam Yamey <adamandlopa@...>
 

In the catalogue of the National Archives of S.
Africa I have come across an entry, dated 1877, which
contains some Afrikaans, which does not make 100%
sense to me - sadly, I do not read nor speak the
language.

The Description of the record reads:
" SELIGMANN, JACOB. INSOLVENTE BOEDEL"

And the Remarks section contains:
" BEVAT GEEN STERFKENNIS NIE. "

Without actually looking up the document, is it
possible to divine what it may be about?
What is the meaning and the legal(?) significance of
the words "Bevat geen sterfkennis nie" ?

My interest in this is that "SELIGMANN, Jacob" may
have been related to me!

A short presentation by Dave Bloom, formerly of Zimbabwe, now living in

years of Zimbabwean Jewry, to record the history and details of this unique
period for the benefit of current and future generations.

A short video clip showing the political/sociological situation in Zimbabwe

There was the Nochomowitz family in CTown, Issy N, had a sewing machine
business, a brother in Parow with a bottle store, and Bessie, married Kurt
Kaufman (a Woolworths manager). The family was >from Ritave in Lithuania,
not acknowledged in the literature. There are still children and g-children
in CTown and two daughters (and families) in the south of Israel.

My grandfather was Nathan Nochomowitz. On his headstone his hebrew name
is recorded as Ben Mayer Yehuda.

I have just discovered a database record of Elias ben Mayer Yehuda who
died in Boksburg in 1946. The similarity is unlikely to be coincidence
and while we know that there were Nochomowitz relations in South Africa,
we do not know anything about them. I do recall Big Isaac and Strong
Isaac being referred to.

My grandfather changed his name >from Nochomowitz to Nathan, becoming
Nathan Nathan. He was a very insular man, having lost his wife at an
early age and had very little to do with family.

I would like to hear >from anyone researching the Nochomowitz name who
knows of, or descendants of, Elias ben Mayer Yehuda (Nochomowitz).

JewishGen Discussion Group #JewishGen Erecting a gravestone in Vienna; email address of cemetery bureau #general

Verein SCHALOM <verein@...>
 

Hello,

you will find more informations specially about what you are asking for
on our website: http://www.schalom.at

This website is about jewish cemeteries and graves in Austria. You will
find some informations as well as contact addresses, telephone- and
faxnumbers.
Our office is daily open (mo-fr) and located beside the Gate 4 of the
Wiener Zentralfriedhof.

Regards

Mag. Walter Pagler
< Verein Schalom >

My grandfather is buried in the Zentralfriedhof IV. Tor cemetery in Vienna.
I have the exact location of his grave, but the gravestone is missing.
I am contemplating arranging for the erection of such a stone. Can anyone
give me the name, address, email address or phone number of an individual or
business which erects such stones in Vienna? Has anyone had an experience
with doing so? Does anyone have any idea what such a stone would cost?

Does anyone have the email address of the Israelitische Kultusgemeinde Wien,
Friedhofamt, which I believe is the Vienna Jewish Community's Cemetery bureau?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

agricultural colonies around Ekaterinaslav. however, I
havent seen any information on how the jewish
community originated in the city of Ekaterinaslav.

If anybody knows anything about this, or where I would
be able to find this out, please let me know.

My second question is this. I heard that after WW2,
all archives >from Ekaterinaslav were moved >from the
city. Does anybody know where they were moved?

When seeking information >from one's computer desk, it's a good practice to
first search the Internet before posing questions to a mail group. In Mr.
Kaplan's case, typing in the google search engine at www.google.com the terms
"Ekaterinoslav and Jews" or "Yekaterinoslav and Jews," or Dnepropretrovsk and
Jews" can pull up a lot of interesting URLs.

For instance, has Mr. Kaplan discovered a list of "Jews Registered in
Ekaterinoslav in 1847"? It can be viewed at

http://www.shtetlinks.jewishgen.org/Colonies_of_Ukraine/AppendixL.htm

Another website:

http://members.tripod.com/oriental_studies/Goncharov/Goncharov2.html

has an article by Vladimir Goncharov of Donetsk University about the Jews of
Yuzovka, a mining town, in the region of Ekaterinoslav.

At: http://www.jewishgen.org/Belarus/newsletter/yekat.htm

Mr. Kaplan can read Chaim Freedman's article about Jews who lived in the
Yekaterinoslav gubernia. Mr. Freedman knows a lot about Jewish colonists. His
email address can be found in the Jewishgen's Discussion Group Archives.

Using various search terms, still more about Jews of the Ekaterinoslav (or
Dnepropetrovsk) region can be found on the Internet.

As I told Mr. Kaplan earlier today in private message, there are some Jewish
records for Dnepropetrovsk and its region in the Kiev archives, but most
Jewish Records for Ekaterinoslav are located in Dnepropetrovsk, according to Miri
am Weiner, author of "Jewish Roots in Ukraine and Moldova." I know nothing
about records having been moved >from Dnepropetrovsk after WW II.
