ordering post 1903 records #galicia

Mark Halpern indicated in his reply that post 1903 records can't be ordered.
It is true that they can't be ordered through JRI because JRI deals almost
exclusively with the Polish State Archives system that houses old records.
However, some information about a person can be released by the local
records office, known as the Urzad Stanu Cywilnego (USC).  You will not
receive a copy of the record but, instead, some information can be
transferred to a form that Poland uses for this purpose.  You may be asked
to prove that the person in question is either dead or alive and has given
you permission to make the inquiry.

To inquire, type a letter in Polish and send it to the local USC.  You won't
need a specific street address unless there are multiple towns of the same
name. Not all villages have records offices but someone will know how to
forward the letter to the right place if your village does not have a USC.

Payment is easy but the amount is based on research time. I haven't ordered
a record >from a USC for a few years but the last time I did, the Polish
consulate in Washington notified me that they had the record, gave me the
cost for the research and the record, I sent them a check and they sent me
the record.

What you will get is demographic in nature.  For instance, the cause of
death was not on the form, nor were the remarks in the last column.  But
names of parents, age and that sort of information was on the form.

Archivist - after Care Records for Norwood House #unitedkingdom

#85786

I'm trying to get an address for a Betty Marks, who is the "Archivist- after 
Care Records" for Norwood House.  My letter to her was returned "No Longer At This 
Address".

I am in need of information on a 7 year old boy, who  according to the 1901 
English census, was a student at the Jew's Hospital and Orphan Asylum School, 
which later became part of Norwood House.

If anyone out there can help or would like more information on the person I am 
seeking, please E- mail me.

Through a fortmer info >from jewishgen I became aware that there is a
list of Displaced Person camps shortly after liberation, so I took a
look to see what does it contain. I knew about the list as in November
2002 I informed H-SIG about the paper, the camps and more datailed about
"Sluzk a camp near Minsk" where I spent a few month with some 850 other
inmates. I was and still am disturbed by the incorrect information of
the camps in former Soviet Union. I can't speak for the other S.U. camps
but in Sluzk the majority of the Hungarian inmates were the ones
liberated in different KZ-s, Auschwitz, Stutthof, etc.more than the half
were women, several of Mengele's twins, in the Italian sector of the
camp was Primo Levi, even a baby  born Dec. 1944 in Birkenau is listed,
today she lives in Canada. I would expect that the information supplied
should be correct or corrected if an obvious failure is pointed out. The
introduction to the Sluzk list indicates clearly who the victims were:
"Deportaltak Feheroroszorszagban", for complettness you can see the
Hungarian foreword, it can be find on Viewmate under

http://data.jewishgen.org/viewmate/ALL/viewmateview.asp?key=4598

May be that USHMM gave the incorrect information and should be informed

Dear Andras.

I went back to look at the film, and I think you have it exactly.

If you don't mind, I have two questions. On the microfilm photographed by
the Mormons, the title says "Register Index" and then 1801 - 1878. What
would that year range represent? Wouldn't the census be taken at a
particular time, or was it a running census, in which new people are added
over time?

My other questions concerns the number of people in the Register Index. The
leftmost column contains a sequential number. In this instance, the highest
number reached is 2684. That seems like a great many Jews for Galszecs. Do
you have any idea why there would be so many? Perhaps I do not realize how
large Galszecs was. Or perhaps this is caused by what I said above, about a
running census.

Your thoughts on both questions are much appreciated.

Thank you.

Dear Sam Schleman,

I believe what you are looking at is a census file -
that is what they usually call a "Register Index."
They listed the families living at the place one after
the other. This is why you have those sequential
numbers. After the name and the birthyear (or the age)
of the person you have his birthplace. Sohn is son and
Tochter means daughter. Instead of repeating the
surname they used these words for the children of the
couple. In the blank column they usually have the
father's occupation.

Hello All;

 I am researching the family Grunberger >from Galszecs,
now known as
Secovce,
Slovakia. On the microfilm I have obtained >from the
FHC (1924884), the
third
item is called a "Register Index". It covers the
period 1801 - 1878,
although some of the entries appear to predate 1801.

The register consists of a sequential number, followed
by a name, a
year,
the town (Almost always Galszecs), and a column for
notes, which are
mainly
blank. The items are not in any discernible order -
the years go 1790,
1837,
1827, 1843, 1818, etc.

Can someone explain to me what I am looking at? I
can't tell whether it
is
births, deaths or what? If births, why isn't it in
date sequence?

On some of the names, the last name is given as "Sohn"
or "Tochter",
but
these do not seem to conform to the dates, such as to
suggest the lack
of a
surname prior to a certain period.

I would appreciate any enlightenment that comes my
way.

Thanks.

Consensus!
Considering the name's generic nature (Deutch: German origin, German
descent, German speaking, speaker of Judeo-German or Yiddish, and possibly
others) and the number of people with the Deutch surname this appears to be
the best explanation.
Does Dr. Beider have anything specific to say about Friedlanders?

The best authority on Jewish names is Dr. Beider. I am certainly not an
expert on the matter. However, within the framework of my experience,
all the options presented thus far have validity and most certainly
all people with the name "Deutsch" (and variations) are not related
(even if >from the same town), and could have acquired their name while
in Germany, having come >from Germany, speaking German, Judeo-German or

Where and when they acquired it depends on where they were at the time
they acquired it.

The only common point is that they were in Europe when they did, and it
could have been as early as the 13th Century or as late as the early
19th Century.

DAUST family from St. Louis, Mo.; seeking descendants #usa

Martin Fischer

#33844

My great-grandfather's brother, Adolf DAUST, whose name was originally DAUS, 
was born in about 1856, probably in Wongrowitz, Posen, Prussia (today: 
Wagrowiec, Pila, Poland).

Adolf DAUST lived in St. Louis, Mo., >from 1883 through 1906, after which he 
is believed to have returned to his homeland of Germany and lived in Berlin, 
where he was the second president of the Wongrowitzer Landmanschaften.

During his time in St. Louis, Adolf married Henriette SACHS in St. Louis in 
1884. They had two daughters, Mollie, born in about 1885, and Fannie, born 
in about 1888.

For their first few years in St. Louis, Adolf had a store selling notions, 
then he shifted to specializing in selling hats (in partnership with a man 
named Theodore Marglous). (Adolf's brother, my great-grandfather Salo DAUST, 
first appeared in St. Louis in 1895 as a dry goods store owner.)

By 1904, Adolph had move up in the world as he became the vice president of 
the Washington National Bank in St. Louis, a position he held until 1905.

In that year, according to a ship's manifest on the Ellis Island 
Foundation's database, Adolf and his wife and daughters returned >from a 
visit to Europe. Adolf is listed as a U.S. citizen and "retired merchant" 
whose "last permanent residence" is listed as Wongrowitz and whose "final 
destination" is St. Louis, Mo.

If in 1906 he returned to Germany for good, I would like to find out if 
anyone knows what became of his two daughters and whether they have any 
living descendants. Did they go with him and his wife back to Germany or did 
they stay in St. Louis or elsewhere in the U.S.? Mollie DAUST would have 
been age 21 in 1906 and Fannie DAUST would have been age 18.
