Did you have ancestors >from Galicia? Would you like to understand the
resources for researching them? This two part course is designed for
those relatively new to Galician research, but know the town of
origin. We begin with online town sources, continue with surname
research via vital records using four major websites: Routes to Roots,
JRI-Poland, Gesher
Galicia and JewishGen; advanced students may continue by researching
directly in the Polish archives websites.

We will focus on developing a methodology for foreign research,
including: (1) the Family Document containing all the necessary
information about your family branch, (2) the Research Table of where
you've searched, (3) Your ToDo list, (4) contact list of who is researching your
surname or shtetl, and (5) a descriptive paragraph to connect with
fellow researchers and professionals.

Course Material will include an
online, downloadable textbook. Please note: We do not research US or
UK records; you need to
know the immigrants name and town >from prior research.
Galicia II (2020)will cover the historical background, the Polish
Archives, over 50 different source websites
(census, military, directories etc), Holocaust, languages, hiring a
researcher and more!

This is a personal mentoring program (unique to JewishGen education)
which features an online FORUM where you'll be encouraged to post one
ancestral branch (one surname), set goals for your research, and work
one-on-one with the instructor to research vital records for your
branch and ask your
questions. Our classes have no scheduled times as our students are
international, enabling everyone to read/view/post at leisure.

It is imperative that you read the full description at
https://www.jewishgen.org/education/description.asp?course=40144, then
please ask any question. Registration is open to 15 students.

Hello,
I just joined the SIG Romania in search of details about my family.
I am not sure I fully understand how this works and where I might
find specific info pertaining to my ancestors in Bivolari......

Do you recognize the following family group ?

Georgita FLORESCU
Savu Andre FLORESCU
Paraschira PETULESCU
Helena VOICULESCU

>from Bucharest, Romania in 1972

They are all related to
Marie VOTRUBCOVA nee. FLORESCU (originaly from
Bucharest) born on 2 Feb 1898 in Bucharest who
died on 18 Sep 1951 and also related to Alois
ZAVADIL, born 10 July 1895, who died 23.5.1972 in
Pardubice Czechoslovakia

Do you recognize any of these facts please?

Can you guide me in any way?

index the books we publish. If you have MS WORD and want to help at
least one hour a week, we need your help. We will teach you how to
use the indexing function of MS WORD and ask you to help with

Hello all:

I have searched on JRI-Poland for the following:

"Searching for Town (phonetically like) "KRIWICZ" in all regions"
The results were:

142 records >from Lublin Gubernia(all >from Chelm, Lublin Gubernia)
1 record >from Siedlce Gubernia
8 records >from Stanislawow Wojewodztwo
2 records >from Tarnopol Wojewodztwo"

One of our family branches lived in Chelm, originally >from Kriwicz.

Where would I locate the information explaining why Jewish families
relocated specifically >from Kriwicz to Chelm?
Where would I find the records for Kriwicz?

Many thanks in advance.

It appears that the link to the LAC is no longer working- which it was at
the time of the posting. Please try this link instead for Library and
Archives Canada: http://www.bac-lac.gc.ca/eng/census/1926/Pages/default.aspx
I apologize for any inconvenience.

On February 26 I posted to the JewishGen Discussion Group about Library and
Archives Canada (LAC) and FamilySearch working collaboratively published
the index to the 1926 Canadian census of the Prairie Provinces: Manitoba,
Saskatchewan, and Alberta. While Canada usually conducts a census every ten
years since four years after the Confederation in 1871, due to the rapidly
expanding population of the Prairie provinces a more frequent census was
undertaken in 1906-in between the Canada-wide censuses- and every ten years
thereafter.

While the indexes are up on FamilySearch at:
https://www.familysearch.org/search/collection/3005862, they were not
available on LAC until March. The url then included has changed.

Thank you to IAJGS Records Access Alert reader, Harvey Zimberg for letting
me know the original url was no longer functioning.
