Jewish Records Indexing - Poland recently received the gift of a
lap top computer for use in the AGAD Archives project in Warsaw.

It was thoroughly checked, the software we need added, and sent
to a gentleman in New York who had kindly offered to shlep the
computer to Warsaw for us.

I have just been advised that our volunteer has had to cancel his
trip because of heart problems and will be undergoing surgery
on Wednesday.

So, we are back to square one with the computer.... Can anyone
help us? Please!

Please contact me at <willie46@...>.

Bruce Wexler asked if anyone had heard about "Radanti" or Radivitz.
This was Radaudti in Romania. The town was called Radivits at some
point in time.

JewishGen is more than pleased, it is overjoyed to announce its
newest web site. This new site is SephardicSIG: Sephardic Genealogy
at JewishGen, http://www.jewishgen.org/sephardicsig. It is hosted by
Jeffrey S. Malka. Sefard Forum: E-mail Discussion Group For
Researchers Of SephardicGenealogy, the SIG's companion mail list,
will continue to be coordinated by Bernard Kouchel. If you are not
already a subscriber, see details at
http://www.jewishgen.org/infofiles/SefardForum.htm.

JewishGen has long wanted an important Sephardic web site like Jeff's
"Resources for Sephardic genealogy," so when he agreed to move his
award-winning site (Jewish Agency Top 10 and Brittanica 2 Stars ) to
JewishGen, you can imagine our elation.

Recently retired, Jeff has been busy redesigning his site for weeks
in preparation for the JewishGen launch. His goal of expanding
Sephardic research opportunities meshes with JewishGen's objectives.
JewishGen recognizes that there are no boundaries in the Jewish
family and that developing new pathways for Sephardic research will
enhance everyone's understanding and appreciation of Jewish history
and its magnificent diversity. Jeff's belief that the Sephardic
definition should include both Ladino- and non-Ladino-speaking Jews
as well as Mizrahim and other non-Ashkenazi Jews the world over will
bring to JewishGen a wealth of new material >from which we all will
benefit. If we grasp that Sephardic Jews were 90% of all Jewry
through the 12th Century, we can see how Sephardic research can
expand our horizons.

Susan King said in a welcoming message to Jeff: "Many of us have
Sephardic roots that we were not aware of it until we began our
research. Please know that we welcome you and look forward to a
long-standing relationship that will benefit the JewishGen community
and allow us to expand and broaden our knowledge and understanding of
our Sephardic heritage!!!"

I am sure that all of you are as excited as we are. We extend a
hearty welcome to Jeff Malka and look forward to new horizons for
Sephardic research.

I came across a very user friendly site by ORT - a bar/bat mitzva online
tutorial. It enables to navigate the Bible - a translation of the Five Books
of Moses along with commentaries - You may select the language and then find
the link to the Reference section. Biblical names are included in a guide to
definitions and mentions of People, Places, Plants and Animals occuring in
the Bible - with A to Z links.

http://bible.ort.org/books/gened2.asp

includes genealogy charts showing the family lines of the main characters in
the Bible. Look ups may be made using included lists or entering a name to
search.

http://bible.ort.org/books/searchd2.asp?action=search

allows different searches to be made. The range for the word search must be
selected: in the translation of the Bible, in Haftarot, in Brachot, and in
Reference.

Hope this helps

Researchers of Sephardic genealogy (RSGs) welcome SephardicSIG!

I would like to take this opportunity to add my commendation to Jeff Malka
for the extraordinarily organized SephardicSIG web pages made available
for the benefit of RSGs around the world.

This is further evidence of the depth of participation JewishGen has
garnered for the benefit of its readership.

I also wish to thank all RSGs for their participation and continued support
and look forward to an even more exciting future.

This is a special thank-you to those who have been contributing to the
fascinating reading & viewing on our Ukraine SIG website. Kudos, too, to
Mel Fishman, our webmaster. We receive compliments on Mel's handiwork
daily, & we're understandably proud of the "face of the Ukraine" which
greets our page visitors.

There's a lot more to see, read & scan, & we're only entering our seventh
month of operation ... still in our "infancy"!! I'm really proud of our
SIG's accomplishments. All of this was made possible because of our
wonderful members who have been enthusiastically offering their volunteer
time, material, & financial assistance.

The first stage of the Kiev Voters' Duma List project is now online, with
680 names >from various Kiev Gubernia towns - patronymics, residence, &
voter qualifications included. We are now beginning the *second* stage,
which, when complete, will bring the list total to 45,000+ surnames! We
thank those who are making it all possible. You can check the results of
the first stage when you visit our website at:

http://www.jewishgen.org/ukraine/Kiev/duma_list.htm

Our hard-working transliterators were Ed Hardiman, Alan Shuchat, Olga
Parker, & Jane Rollins. Data entry was done by Judy Tarail, Olga Parker &
Alan Shuchat. We applaud their good work & good will.

When the remainder of the lists have been processed, they will go online as
a searchable database at an ALL-Ukraine site. For the interim, this was
uploaded as a static list for your convenience. Good luck to all of you in
your name hunting!

The completed database will eventually cover names >from 12 different Kiev
Gubernia Districts:

Radomysl District
Belaya Tserkov & Fastov, Vasilkov district
Chigirin District
Kiev District
Berdichev District
Zvenigorodka District
Cherkassy District
Skvir District
Tarascha District
Kanev District
Lipovetz District
Boguslav, Kanev

Also on our website, you'll discover family stories, old photographs, book
reviews & literary contributions, all of which provide a glimpse into the
lives & experiences of our ancestors in towns like Nova Ushitsa,
Kitaigorod, Yanoff, Zapporojhe, Priluki, Shumsk, Kremenets. Our goal is
about sharing & making this information available to the widest number so
that the culture & memories of our ancestors won't be lost. Visit our
Ukraine SIG Website at http://www.jewishgen.org/ukraine - & don't forget
to keep coming back for future visits.


Enjoy!!

I wouldn't worry about the "Anna Deborah" vs. "Anita" discrepancy. My aunt
Betty's birth certificate >from around 1905 in NY shows her name as
"Bessie"; on the index to NY Births, it shows as "Bennie". The date and
other pertinent details are correct, however. I've seen all sorts of
varients of first names on successive census records as well (an uncle
named Barnett shows up as Bernhard and Barney--I've never seen an official
record with his anglicized name as Barnett).
