My great-grandfather Louis FINKEL was known as Leib in Belarus and Poland before coming to New York.  Only on his gravestone was his name written as "Aryeh Leib".  Four grandchildren were named for him:  Larry, Leonard, Laura and Leon.

My mom, brother, and I all have ADHD. It is genetic but can also be environmental, though it's the former in our case. I suspect my maternal grandmother might've had it too.

We also all have Lynch Syndrome, got that from grandpa :(

Entry „w wojsk” is in the column School End. To me this means that his highest level of education was that obtained while serving military duty in the army.

My father Yosef Leib (Jerome Lewis) was named for his grandfather. The elder Yosef’s name appears variously on his matzevah and synagogue memorial plaque as Yosef Leib and Yosef Aryeh.

If the veteran in question died by 1934, the pension file is at the National Archives facility on Pennsylvania Ave in DC.

Thank you for the very helpful information -- I thought it might be something like that.

Can copies of the pension files themselves be ordered?

Shaun,

Your message is way to broad to know what you are looking for.   Generally, this is not a one-step process.

For instance, if you found a family and given names in the 1869 Hungarian census in JewishGen, in the rightmost column is often the LDS file name. (LDS= Latter Day Saints, i.e., the Family Search pages, (https://www.familysearch.org/) provided by the Mormon Library).  While not easy to locate a specific record, once you locate the file among the catalog files, you can then page through image by image to find the matching house number, and thereby find the image of "the original."

This is just an example.  But you have not provided any names, towns/cities, countries, years, for anyone to know how to answer you.

Let's see what you can provide.

Best,

Not to beat this to death, but...

It reads Simeon son of Eliyahu.

The records in Brzesko go back to the second half of the 19th century. If you are "lucky" with a a death record it might bring few decades earlier but no beyond that.

The attached screenshot (and the link below if it works) are to an image at the Family History Library. The applicant is Abram Gerber, b 1909.

Since I can't read Russian / Lithuanian, can someone please advise me how to find the specific record this link pertains to? Also, a translation would be greatly appreciated. I believe I am related to this individual and the information on the passport application might clear this up.

Thanks to all in advance,

Ann Scher
