I am researching the name of KORASTACHEVSKY.

Is it possible that this family came >from the Korostyshev area.

My Great Grandfather ADAM CORBIN (Adam Korastashevsky)(sp) gave over 15
dates of birth as well as places of birth. I do know that his brothers
came >from the Ukraine (Odessa?).

Just recently I started to notice the name Korostyshev being mentioned.
Does any one have some insight.

Thanks for the help.

Does anyone have e-mail addresses for any of these organizations? I was told
that these are organizations for Brazilian Holocaust survivors. I
understand that there was an influx of Bessarabian Jews to Brazil just
before WW II. I am trying to locate relatives who may have survived.

1. Confederacao Israelita do Brazil (CONIB)
2. Federacao Israelita do Estado de Minas Gerais
3. Federacao Israelita do Estado do Rio de Janeiro
4. Federacao Israelita de Estado de Sao Paulo

And if anyone can provide a translation of these organizations...

Thank you.

Ask your relative to save the file as GEDCOM, the standard interchange
format for genealogy files. Then you can use any contemporary genealogy
program to import the GEDCOM file into it.

"nove mesto" means "new town", i believe, so there are a whole bunch of
them throughout the old "greater hungary". look on the jewishgen
shtetlseeker, .

in this case, it's better to use shtetlseeker, because the radix
gazetteer doesn't have a soundex search.

I cannot say how it was 300 or 400 years ago. In nowadays
German there is no separate plural form for Rabbiner, i.e.
plural for Rabbiner is Rabbiner. "Rabbiners" is indeed
the genitive. But in Yiddish the plural is Rabbiners.

Hello gerSig,
I just joint the group. I have been doing genealogy research for about 11 months.
I consider myself to be intermediate in doing German Jewish Genealogy research.
I live in Woerden, The Netherlands. My native language is Dutch and I also know
german and Englisch. My experience in using the Internet is intermediate.
I have identified the names and birth and death dates of the most of my
familymembers. My primary research goals now are to find out:

When and by which means a several members left Germany just before W.W.II to the
[ United ] States.

The familymembers I'm researching are:

1. The parents of Gabriel WOLF, born 24.10.1826 in Bickenbach, Hessen, Germany.
Died 18.02.1903 in Bensheim, Hessen.

2. The parents of Jettchen WOLF - SUSS, born 24.01.1848 in Lampertheim.
Died 12.03.1902 in Bensheim
3. Milan WOLF, born 02.05.1898
Gustav WOLF, born 04.01.1904
Alfred WOLF ???????????

All sons >from Wilhelm WOLF and Helena BUCHMANN, they where born in Bensheim
When and how did they leave Germany?
About Alfred I can't find anything. According to an aunt in the States he died
on a miltary training in 1942 or 1943. He was soldier in the US-army.
When is he born and exactly died?

Dear Galicia Researchers

I was wondering if anyone was able to give me some advice.

My late father was born Aszer (Uscher) HERZOG in Krakow. On occasion he
spoke of some uncles also with the surname HERZOG , who were silversmiths
and possibly owned or ran a shop in Krakow.

On the Krakow Voters List of 1929 are listed Lazar and Syna HERZOG of
Krakowska 10 who were "Handel Srebra" or silversmiths.

Can anyone give me some advice on how I can determine whether these two men
were the uncles my father was referring to and how I can go about finding
out more information about them?

Thank you
