I am looking for a June 2004 Baltimore death notice, providing it's not a lot of
trouble. (The online Baltimore Sun only goes back a month.) I have a date of
death, so the notice should be withing a day or so.

Dear Cousins,

Thanks to all of you for recommending various venues for finding relatives
on the 1901 Census for Quebec City. One observant email came, telling me
that few Jews lived there at the time. So, I am more likely looking for
relatives in Montreal. If someone would kindly forgive my error, and
mention - on this list would be helpful to others - which were the Jewish
neighborhoods in Montreal.

Best, Steve Orlen

Dear Cousins,

I've been working on my family tree for years, first by letter & interview,
then on the web. All that time I failed to note sources for the
information. I can't say I'm "paying for" my neglect now - nothing has come
back to haunt me yet - but I wish I had been noting sources all along.

Is there an index of New York City Deaths on line? I'm trying to locate
where a Robert AXELROD who died in New York about 1952 is buried.

Thanks for you help.

EHRENKRANZ is one of the names that often identify Kohanim, members of the
priestly clan, descended >from the first Kohen, Aaron, brother of Moses.

The name (German) trranslates as "wreath of honor" but the name is assumed
because Ehren sounds like Aaron. Ehrenstadt, Ehrenberg, Ehrenfeld etc generally
have the same origin.

The title haKohen is almost invariably inscribed in Hebrew on the tombstone
(together with a carving of the spread hands raised during the priestly
blessings), and appears in all synagogue and community-related documents. Knowing
this often helps in tracing an ancestor back a number of generations through
successive Kohanim (and also, of course, brothers, cousins and descendants).

Can anyone tell me the translation of the name *Itzeles*? Is it Yiddish for
Isaiah ?

If anyone is planning to be doing research at the National Library in
Jerusalem I would appreciate a photocopy or transcription of an entry
in the Sighet Romania (formerly Sziget, Maramaros, Hungary) Chevra
Kadisha. According to Nachi Keren, each of the numbered entries
includes 10-20 lines about the deceased. I would like to find out what
information is included for #30 Yehuda Yacov KAHANA. Based on
information that I found in other Sziget burial records, I believe that
he was the father of my great-grandfather, Dov Berisch KAHANA.

Nachi told me that the information listed for each individual concerns
the negotiation regarding the payment for the plot and mentions
relatives that are negotiating. Sometimes there is a request for the
plot to be next to a relative or a Rebbe and the relation between the
two is mentioned. This information might help to confirm that Yehuda
Yacov was, in fact, my great-great-grandfather. I am also trying to
identify my great-grandfather's siblings. My research indicates that
Samuel Zangwill (b. 1855, d. Munkacs 1915), Tzvi Elimelech (d. Sziget
1903), and Aryeh Leib (d. Sziget 1934) may have been brothers of my
great-grandfather Dov Berisch.

If there's any research assistance I can provide in California in
return, please let me know.

Please contact me off-list if you can help.

Thanks in advance,
