This website is in English and it cover all Kolno area. Zamoyski was one of the oldest and mightiest Polish princely families. There are going much further back than 1915 Taschenbuch is indicating. Hope this help. The 1915 Graflichen Taschenbuch lists the genealogy of the Counts |

You state, "Rev. Gershon and then nun, pay, tet, resh, hay." "Rev." is probably "Reb." and nun, fay, tet resh, hay spells the word nifterah which means "died". As far as the date is concerned, and for translation of all information in Hebrew on a stone I highly recommend the Jewishgen Infofile which can be accessed at the following link: http://www.jewishgen.org/infofiles/tombstones.html Regards, Moishe Steinberg Canada Searching for: SANG, FISCHER(FISZER), HELMAN, SEIFERT - Zaleshchiki, New York City, Israel GRANIRER, GRANIERER, SALCMAN, ARONOWICZ, KRONENFELD, FUHRMAN,GOLDSCMIDT- Czernowitz, Israel, USA FISCHER(FISZER)- Boryslaw, Israel, USA I have a picture of a stone and can't make out one name and the date. |

Ukraine SIG #Ukraine Yiddish letter on Viewmate
#ukraine
John Epstein <johnebos@...>
Hello all,
I need help translating what I believe to be a letter written in Yiddish for when my g-grandfather died. Came across it about two months ago and have been unable to translate it. Included in the letter is a photograph of my grandfather sitting on his father's lap as well as my grandfather's brother sitting on the wall. I am also told that the two men standing in the background are Ben-Gurion and Ben-Zvi though I do not know which is which. The quality of the photo is not all that great and the letter is almost a page long. I do not know if I am asking too much, but I do not know where else to turn to. The letter can be found at: http://www.jewishgen.org/viewmate/ALL/source/vm1716.html Please respond to me directly at: johnebos@... Thank you for your time, -- John Epstein Jupiter FL USA Researching: AGGER/ALTWERGER Klimontow Poland; EPSTEIN Simferopol Ukraine; GROSHOUS/GROSHOUSE/GROSSHOUSE Osiek Poland; KOLAZEK/KOLACHAK Russia; NEWIRTH Hungary; TRICHTER Czernowitz, Bucovina Austria |

GUGGENHEIM from Switzerland
#germany
Anita Springer <aspringer@...>
My husband's great-grandfather Josef GUGGENHEIM was born in 1848, possibly
in Oberendingen, Switzerland. Can anyone tell me how to do further genealogical reseach in this part of Switzerland or on this branch of GUGGENHEIM? His parents were Heinrich GUGGENHEIM and Marie WWILER/WHYLER. He had a sister named Sophia, born 1839. The family apparently moved across the border to Tiengen, Germany. I have read the book "Die Tiengener Juden" but the families mentioned are in the 1900s and too late to help me. Thanks for any ideas.

SCHECK, Rose 1884 - 1976; SCHECK, Bennit 1915 - 2002 - "Russia" / AZ and NY, USA
#general
Dream Builder <dreambuilder@...>
I found the following information in the Social Security Death Index:
SCHECK, Rose b. 01 MAR 1884 d. MAY 1976 SSN issued in NY Last Known Residence: Brooklyn, Kings County, NY 11214 USA SCHECK, Bennit b. 13 APR 1915 d. 03 APR 2002 verified SSN issued in NY Last Known Residence: Mesa, Maricopa County, AZ 85206 USA This may be the family I am looking for. I have a photograph of a man in a uniform (police or security guard?). It was cut >from a larger photograph and the reverse reads: "Bennit Scheck XXXX President Ave Brooklyn, NY near Nostrand Ave Tel. HYCNT(A or H) 3-XXXX Nephew of 82 Hirsch Friedman 91 Sister Rose Schech" If my grandfather Hirsch FRIEDMAN wrote the ages on the photograph between 01 MAR 1974 and 05 OCT 1974, Rose would have been 91 and he 82. Since the SSDI lists her death in 1976, she would have been 92 when she died. Another photograph I have says that Rose's husband was Isidore SCHECH (SCHECK?) and that he died in 1945. Also, since Bennit SCHECK's death was verified, there must be descendants, possibly in Mesa, AZ. If there are, I would very much like to be in contact with them. If anyone recognizes any of this information, please email me. Vicki Ina Friedman Waleska, GA, USA dreambuilder@... |

BLOCK family
#general
Raymond Whitzman <whitz@...>
Dear genners;
A relative of mine was researching the Block family in the 1920's . One chart mentions my great great great grandfather Abraham Block had a daughter Kuna Cohen . I have been able to trace this family. A son was a Shamus in Dorbyan Lithuania named Ephraim who had a son Chaim Essaau . Then there was a daughter who married Hirsa Schmuel Joseph. I am assuming Joseph is the family name , The notation says he lived in Pennsylvania . Also on the chart it mentions that Kuna had a first cousin Mrs. ESTERMAN . The ESTERMANS live in the Paterson NJ area. If any of this information is familiar I would appreciate any help . Raymond Whitzman |
