Elise,
Please see the article, "Russian Empire Passports" by Regina Kopilevich in the Spring 2021 issue of Avotaynu. In short, such passports did exist, albeit mainly for merchants. There are extensive collections of Russian Empire passport applications in the Lithuanian archives, but as I understand it there is no index and no practical way to search for a specific one. LitvakSIG does not currently have a project dealing with these documents, nor is one under consideration. Russ Maurer Records Acquisition & Translation Coordinator, LitvakSIG Pepper Pike, OH

Seeking Hirsch family which survived the Holocaust in Budapest and emigrated to Paris

APlan
I seek a Hirsch family which survived the Holocaust in Budapest and later emigrated to Paris. I am a distant cousin. I wonder if an expert on the Jewish community in France is able to find traces of the following Hirsch family in Paris?
Márton Hirsch was born 29 May 1889 in Mező-Szilvás, Kolozs, Hungary (that town is now Silivașu de Câmpie, Romania). His wife Rózsa Róth was born 19 July 1892 in Lőcse, Szepes, Hungary. They married in 1921 in Budapest and had a daughter whose name is unknown. She married in Hungary. Many years ago a cousin wrote that these four survived the Holocaust, and were later living in Paris. Thank you, Asaf Plan

Re: Seeking Katzenellenbogens
#belarus
I was absolutely aware of your excellent study, Jeffrey, and that is why I emphasized that I was equally if not more interested in Katzenellenbogens who did not have a tradition of patrilineal descent from the Maharam, since your study makes it pretty likely that if they do, they are going to be in J1 (L823) and I'm looking for a J2a line. Indeed, I have referred many folks who have responded to my post to your very same study. BTW, I'm running into a lot of those E-M35-Y6923 Katzenellenbogens in this process...there's a story there to be sure! (-;
I'll be very interested, however, to see the BigY results when you have them and to what degree they add nuance to your conclusions re the Katzenellenbogen signature...although I'm quite aware that the haplogroup branch J1-L823 will not change! (-; Thanks again for your reply! Deb Katz dnadeb@...

Re: Seeking Katzenellenbogens

Hi Debra,
You may be interested in taking a peek at my Y-DNA research study: "The Y-DNA Genetic Signature and Ethnic Origin of the Katzenellenbogen Rabbinical Lineage," in which my research team identified the Y-DNA genetic signature of the patrilineal line descending from Rabbi Meir Katzenellenbogen. In that study, we also discovered that the Katzenellenbogen rabbinical line has a Sephardic ethnic origin. A Notable Connection profile which I drafted for the Katzenellenbogen rabbinical lineage, presenting its terminal SNP and haplogroup age, will soon be added to FTDNA's Discovery tools. Here is a link to the original Y-DNA research study: https://tinyurl.com/3anz5b9s. An updated study will be posted to Academia.edu as soon as all Big Y-700 tests are completed. Kindest and best regards, Jeffrey Mark Paull jmpaull@...

"Internal passports" necessary to travel within the Russian empire are widely mentioned in XIXth-century literature.
I've always viewed them as simply some sort of Government [the imperial kind]-issued ID with an unusual name. The Soviet Union (you mention the interwar period) did not invent much in terms of police. It simply recycled the Empire's institutions, such as prison camps in Siberia, the secret police, etc., with different names. Jean Lachaud Westchester County, NY

JGSLI Program August 10, 2022 Patronymic Naming and the Value of Cemetery Research sponsored by the Jewish Genealogical Society of Long Island Posted by Barry Goldberg

Barry Goldberg
JGSLI Invites you to the following program: .
Location: Zoom – see registration info below Topic:
Headstone inscriptions provide one of the most important tools for those researching their Jewish genealogical history, patronymic naming. This presentation will familiarize the attendees with the evolution of family surnames and the practice of patronymic naming. Recognizing the components of patronymic naming, participants will learn how to take advantage of these clues to link their family through generations. I will go through an actual case study using headstone inscriptions and will show participants online resources to help find headstone information worldwide. The next part of the presentation will show examples of headstones and what you’ll find if you take a trip to the cemetery. I’ll explain the meaning of symbols that you will find on stones. Even if you can’t read Hebrew, I will explain how you can understand the inscriptions. I will also show many examples of inscription trends, some odd inscriptions, and errors in inscriptions…even well-known ones. With a presentation on cemetery records, you wouldn’t expect to leave laughing, but I guaranty you will.
Nolan was bit by the “genealogy bug” when he was inspired to write his family history in 1996 in memory of his mother. He has presented his “How to Document and Research Your Family History” seminar to university Holocaust history classes and numerous adult and continuing education classes. He has also made presentations and conducted computer workshops at numerous IAJGS Conferences on Jewish Genealogy worldwide. He has had genealogical articles published in Avotaynu, Dorot, Stammbaum, Shemot and the FEEFHS Journal. Mr. Altman also coordinates JewishGen.org's JOWBR, Holocaust, and Memorial Plaques Databases. He was a past president and treasurer and current Board member of the JGS of Long Island and member of the JGS of New York. In 2021, Mr Altman was awarded the IAJGS Lifetime Achievement award for his continuing efforts to promote, volunteer and advocate for Jewish genealogical research. He resides in Oceanside, New York. .

We look forward to seeing you all!

This week's Yizkor book excerpt on the JewishGen Facebook page
#yizkorbooks
#belarus
#JewishGenUpdates
Bruce Drake
Yizkor book chapters that recount the details of daily life in the shtetls make for a pendulum that swings between gauzy remembrances of the joys of life there to testimonies to the widespread poverty, unsanitary conditions, muddy streets and families squeezed into small wooden houses.
Conditions could also vary by the period a writer is describing. Mendl Machtev puts his finger on this in “Sixty Years Ago,” a chapter from the Yizkor book of Stowbtsy (Belarus).
“One cannot compare life in the shtetl in the years 1930-1940 [to] the simple, primitive life of a provincial Polish-Russian shtetl at the end of the19th century and the beginning of the 20th century,” he writes.
Machtev recreates a portrait of Stowbtsy in those earlier times. Unpaved streets, some full of mud and stagnant pools of water; the shabbily-built houses of poor people not built for the cold winters; and, the lack of good well water in some parts of town that meant an average home owner had to find a suitable well, fill a small barrel with sufficient water for a whole day and carry it home himself.
But this chapter does not read as a lament or cry of woe: it is a remembrance of how people coped and did their best to go on with life. What drew me to it was how well it captures Stowbtsy during the period the writer describes. It is worth reading for its details which make you feel that you are there.

Hmmm, Yes, Yehoshua may be correct! However, it would also help if Terry captured a few more lines on the census. Sometimes, I've figured out almost unreadable words by seeing them (or parts of them) appear in later entries on the same list. The same census takers' handwriting can differ from line to line. Good luck! Susan
