Searching: Ostovtzer Rebbe and DZWONKOWSKI family
#general
Michael Trapunsky <trapunsky@...>
Hi group,
I'm trying to figure out a possible connection to an Ostrovtzer Rebbe but have very little information to go on. I'm not even sure which Ostrovtzer Rebbe my grandfather was referring to as I'm told that there were a few Rebbeim with that title. Two that I know of are: 1- Rav Yechiel Meir Halevy HALSTOCK 1852-1928 (born in Sabin, Poland) 2- Rav Yehoshua TRUNK. The first Ostrowca Rebbe. I have no information on him. All I was told about my possible connection is that my grandfather was either directly descended >from an Ostrovtzer Rebbe (but which one) or that he was closely related to him through my grandfather's mother - Chaia Esther DZWONKOWSKI (about 1867 - 1911). Chaia Esther DZWONKOWSKI was married to Yitzchok CYWINER (about 1865 - 1910). I believe that both the DZWONKOWSKI and CYWINER families were originally >from Warsaw, Poland, but Yitzchak and Chaia Esther CYWINER passed away in Wolomin, Poland. My grandfather, Abraham CYWINER, was the second youngest of their 5 children. I was told that the family often went to visit the Rebbe so he must have lived close by to Warsaw or the surrounding towns. If anyone has any information on the DZWONKOWSKI family, or any information on any Ostrovtzer Rebbe I would love to hear back >from you. Thank you very much, Michael Trapunsky Rego Park, Queens, New York trapunsky@... |

Hebrew translation of 3 stones
#general
A. E. Jordan
I posted three stones to the Viewmate section and I would appreciate if a
few people could translate the entire stones for me into English. Its more than just a name because the stones are entirely in Hebrew but I can see that a lot of it is the traditional language used on stones. Please let me know which of the stones you are translating because I do have three posted. Many thanks for everyone's help. Also thanks to Joseph Herz fpr maintaining this wonderful service on JewishGen. Here's the addresses for the files: http://www.jewishgen.org/viewmate/ALL/source/vm1150.html http://www.jewishgen.org/viewmate/ALL/source/vm1151.html http://www.jewishgen.org/viewmate/ALL/source/vm1152.html Please reply to me directly on the translations. Thanks to all. Allan Jordan aejordan@... |
