Do you trace your ancestry to "Posen"?
#germany
Nicole Heymans
I am posting anew this message I posted in June. My laptop vanished in
a burglary a few weeks ago, and my mailboxes and address books are unreadable, so please reply if interested even if you have already done so. Also please note my new email address: nichey46@.... This message is to all researchers who have "Posen" (or Poznan) among their ancestral dwellings. "Posen" may refer to Posen city or to anywhere else in the region known over the centuries as the Grand Duchy of Posen, Posen Province, or Wielkopolska. Thanks to many volunteers, and also professional genealogists - funded by your contributions to JRI-Poland - many Jewish records from this region are already in JRI-Poland's growing database.However, much still remains to be done. Researchers with an interest in this region know of Madeleine Okladek's long-time commitment to helping researchers with an interest in towns in both the Poznan and Kalisz Archival areas. I recently agreed to take over >from Madeleine as Poznan Archives Coordinator for the main branch (PSA archive #53), where surviving (mainly pre-1847) Jewish records are held. Madeleine remains Archive Coordinator for the Konin and Pila sub branches of Poznan Archives (#54), as well as the Kalisz Archives (#11) where many civil records (post-1874) >from this region are held. I am updating the database of "interested Poznan area researchers", to help decide indexing priorities. So, if you have roots in this region, please let me know your towns and time periods of interest. Please also let me know if you have any records, lists or documents to share about your ancestors' shtetl. Please reply privately rather than to the list.

New data available from the Vilnius household registers project
#poland
Russ Maurer
LitvakSIG is very pleased to announce that batch 3 of the Vilnius
household register project, 5000 lines, is now available to qualified donors. To help you decide if this batch is relevant to you, we provide a full surname-frequency list of over 2000 surnames on the VHR home page, https://www.litvaksig.org/research/special-projects/vilnius-household-registers (short URL: https://tinyurl.com/yab5ojnv). During the period between WWI and WWII, Vilnius and adjoining areas (that today are within eastern Lithuania and western Belarus) were under Polish control. In Vilnius, the Poland imposed its system of household registration for population registration and mobility control >from 1919 to 1940. More than 13,000 household registers have survived. They contain a treasure trove of information about people who lived in or visited Vilnius. Typical records may include the first and last name, maiden name, names of the parents including the mother's maiden name, marital status, nationality and religion, place and date of birth (or age), place of previous residence, date of arrival to the lodgings, date of leaving the lodgings and next destination. We estimate that the collection, in all, contains several million entries, perhaps a third of them for Jews. Of particular note, because of the shifting national boundaries, the Vilnius household registers (VHR) will be of interest to a wider audience than one might imagine. There was no border between Vilnius and the rest of interwar Poland. People flowed freely between Vilnius and such other cities as Warsaw, Bialystok, Lodz, Lida, Disna, Oshmiany, Minsk, and others. If your ancestors were anywhere in that area between the wars, they could have stopped in Vilnius and made an appearance in a household register. Because this is a long-term project, we are releasing data 5,000 lines at a time. The first batch was released during the IAJGS conference in Warsaw in August. That batch is available free of charge, thanks to a Rabbi Malcolm Stern grant awarded to the project. Batch 2 was released a month ago. The data of each batch will be added to the All-Lithuania database about 18 months after release, where it will be searchable free of charge. All necessary information about these data releases, including how to become a qualified donor, can be found on our VHR home page linked above. Any questions should be directed to me at vhrproject@... Russ Maurer VHR project coordinator |

Romania SIG #Romania Yizkor-Books-In-Print Project announces the publication of its 76th title, The Memorial book of Roman Romania
#romania
Joel Alpert
The Yizkor-Books-In-Print Project of JewishGen is proud to announce
the publication of its 76th title, The Jewish Community of Roman (Roman, Romania) This is a hard cover book, 11 inches by 8.5 inches with 180 pages. This book is a translation of Obstea evreiascaă din Romanin by Pincu Pascal and published by Editura Hasefer, Bucuresşti, Romania, 2001. List price:$42.95 Available on Amazon for around $31 may have lower prices elsewhere For more information go to: https://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/ybip/YBIP_Roman.html The Romanian city of Roman is situated in the northeastern part of the country, at the confluence of the Moldova and Siret rivers, on the great road of the Siret, which long ago connected the north of Moldova with the Danube ports. The Jewish population in the city is believed to date >from as early as the beginning of 15thcentury. It is believed that a wooden synagogue existed in Roman at that time, on the same lot where the Main Synagogue was standing later (in the 20th century). It was but the first of what would become 18 synagogues serving a population of more than 6,000 Jews by the beginning of the 1940s, which along with a wide range of social, educational, and cultural institutions was a measure of the vitality of the community. In this scholarly volume, the rich portrait of the Jewish community in Roman that was about to be annihilated is painted in meticulous detail, covering every aspect of life over the centuries of its existence. Alternate names for the town are: Roman [Romanian], Romesmarkt [German], Romanvasar [Hungarian], Romanvarasch Roman, Romania: 46°55' N, 26°55' E Nearby Jewish Communities: Budesti 11 miles W Bozienii de Sus 12 miles WNW Damienesti 13 miles SSE Bacesti 16 miles ESE Buhusi 17 miles SW Roznov 20 miles WSW Targu Frumos 20 miles N Plopana 21 miles SE Bacau 24 miles S Researchers and descendants Roman will want to have this book. For more information, go to: https://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/ybip/YBIP_Roman.html The Yizkor-Books-In-Print Project now has 76 titles available. To see all the books, go to: http://www.jewishgen.org/Yizkor/ybip.html We hope you find this of interest for you and your family in discovering the history of your ancestors. This would make a birthday gift for a loved one or a belated Chanukah gift. For orders 4 or more books to one address in the US, UK, Canada or Australia, we can offer you a significantly reduced price of $20 per book including shipping (Amazon discount price is about $31 plus shipping).

Type of Kloiz
#general
R Jaffer
Dear religious scholars,
I am working to translate maps for Bessarabian towns into English. I am trying to determine the type of kloiz that is spelled Kuf, zayin, tsadi, vav. The kloiz immediately before this one in the list is a Sadigura kloiz which I know is a Hasidic dynasty kloiz. Therefore, I tend to think that this word is not a surname. Any ideas? Thank you, Roberta Jaffer Massachusetts |

Naming pattern amoung Ashkenazic Jews
#general
Tsiporah Trom
I would like to know if anyone has heard of a specific order in the naming
pattern of Ashkenazic children. I once heard that the mother could chose the name of the first child and the father the second, or vice versa. Could someone confirm this please ? That would be a great help in determining the order of the children, when one doesn't have birth dates. Chanuka Sameach, Tsiporah TROM Antwerp, Belgium |
