The Jewish Genealogical Society of Los Angeles will meet on March 26, 2001.
The program will be the award-winning PBS documentary -- There Once Was A
Town. This is a documentary on a visit to an ancestral shtetl. While the
video showed in many US cities last fall it appears that it probably did
not show in Los Angeles, so this may be the first time in Los Angeles it is
being shown.

In 1941 Nazis invaded the small town of Eishyshok, Poland (now Lithuania),
and brutally murdered nearly all 3,500 Jewish residents. Fifty-six years
after the massacre, four survivors and their families return to their
childhood home. This remarkable 90-minute documentary is narrated by Actor
Ed Asner, a descendant of an Eishyshok family.

Professor and author Yaffa Eliach leads the group in its search for
remnants of Jewish life that flourished before the war. The documentary is
based in part on Professor Eliach’s critically-acclaimed book, “There Once
Was a World: A Nine Hundred Year Chronicle of the Shtetl of Eishyshok.”

The meeting starts promptly at 7:00 p.m. on Monday March 26th.
The location of our meeting is:
Skirball Cultural Center, Haas Conference Center
2701 N. Sepulveda Blvd. Los Angeles, CA 90049

There is no fee for attending the meeting and non-members are welcome.

I have a copy of a record of birth and circumcision >from the archives in
Odessa. According to two different translators, it shows the name of the
child's father as, in English, "El Gdalovich UMANSKY". I assume
Gdalovich is a patronymic. (My great-grandfather, Nachum UMANSKY,
referred, in a translated letter I have, to "Uncle Gedalia".) What kind
of name is "El"? Is it an abbreviation for a longer name? Or does it
have some other meaning? I have never noticed this question on JewishGen
before, and the discussion group archives search did not seem to allow me
to search a two letter word.

Does anyone know if city directories are available >from used book sellers,
etc? I'm looking for first half of the century city directories for Boston
and New York. I know I can see them at the library but was wondering if
they are available for sale anywhere? Are there used book dealers who
specialize in city directories?

Thanks,

In 1943 a group of about 900 children were taken >from Soviet
Turkestan to Teheran >from where they went to Palestine. They

I am looking for a book which describes their trip. Can anyone
tell me which ship they traveled on?
