Hillersleben, German
#general
Daniel Kazez <dkazez@...>
I notice at the JewishGen Discussion Group Archives:
http://data.jewishgen.org/wconnect/wc.dll?jg~jgsys~archpop no messages referring to Hillersleben, Germany. Perhaps my message below, then, is of interest to no one! At the American Jewish Archives in Cincinnati, Ohio, I noticed and made copies of about 10 pages of messages sent by Holocaust survivors from Hillersleben. I am sorry that I don't know anything about Hillersleben. Perhaps someone receiving this message will. I have digital copies, but archive policy forbids the public posting of such images. Why do I have copies? Because I was interested in (and am guiding the typing of) a collection of messages sent by Holocaust survivors in Stockholm in 1945.

what to take on a "research" trip
#general
nina.marie@...
A cousin is going to visit our root geography in Ukraine. She's not
going to be looking at records -- rather going with 9 others to see the actual sites and exchange family stories. Her question to me is what to take to record all this. Digital camera, of course. She wants to take her computer and download digital tape recordings. Since she probably won't want to schlep her computer w her all day (remember, they're not researching archives), is it OK for her to leave it in a hotel and download at the end of the day? Or should she take a recorder that uses tapes and leave the laptop at home? Thanks, Nina Bunin researching LOME, FELDBLIT, FIELD,BIEBER, BUNIN, SMOLGOVSKY

Both Zemplin and Szepes counties in modern Slovakia contained towns named Dubrava at the time of the 1869 Magyar Census. "My" Dubrava (lat 48.88; long 22.36) is near the Ukraine border. I have checked Mapquest and done Googles on these counties but have not found a county boundary map with which to site Dubrava for purposes of census checking. Helpful hints would be much appreciated. -Ari Dale, MD (Israel) --- mailto:ari@...

But it is possible to have a lookup (on site) after obtaining an impairment of the law. All this implies tedious proceedings. Please note that the Journal Officiel gives little information, contrary to the naturalisation files.

Although Skalat is now in Ukraine, it was a part of the Austrian province of Galicia >from the late 1700s until World War II. The Gesher Galicia SIG covers the part of Ukraine that was formerly Galicia. And, surprising to many, vital records for Skalat are housed in the AGAD Archives in Warsaw. Jewish Records Indexing - Poland has indexed these records and they can be searched by surname on our website. Just go to www.jri-poland.org and click on Search Database. I advise that you set Gubernia to Galicia-Tarnopol to capture only index entries >from the area near Skalat. For more information about the AGAD Archives indexing project, go to http://www.jri-poland.org/agad/index.htm.

Temple Incorporation Papers

Howard Margol <homargol@...>
I would suggest to the researcher to search the Hoboken, New Jersey city
directories. I have seen several instances where the incorporation of a Synagogue, or church, was written up in a city directory. This was very prevalent during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Howard Margol homargol@... <If a group of people got together in 1892 and started a temple would they have had to incorporate it? How would I search for it? They got together in 1892 in Hoboken, New Jersey and started the congregation. In 1902 they built a building for the congregation in Hoboken and >from various reports I believe the temple burnt down in the 1950s. The name of the congrgation was Moses Montifiore.>

Re: Founding of Texas Communities
#general
Burt Hecht <burt1933@...>
A very interesting article on 19th century and the later "Galveston Plan"
(pre-WW 1 times) for Jewish immigration in Texas is found on this website: http://www.geocities.com/txsynvr/Galveston/GalvR.html My reading of the two postings questions how our relatives were diverted from a destination known to one they didn't expect plus concerns ofrelatives disappointed not able to greet the passengers. Thhis seems severe and chaotic. Were not immigrant passengers required to state their destination and the person they would stay with? There is an implication that ships captains' would falsify the port of debarkation --- are there instances that support this? I'm going to revisit Birmingham's books about "the rest of us."

Historical Directories from Great Britain
#general
martha <martha@...>
The following site contains historical directories >from Great Britain
and should be very helpful for those with deep roots in England and Wales. It contains directories >from 1750 to 1919 that have been scanned digitally. You can search by name, or location, or trade, or any other keyword you might wish to use. http://www.historicaldirectories.org One caveat: if your search is successful, the number of hits is recorded at the top. You need to click on "next hit" to get your first hit, since the database always opens on the first page of the directory which contains the hit. The hits should be colour coded but are not always.
