Illinois Statewide Marriage Index, 1763-1900 #general

Adelle Gloger
 

Dear JewishGen Community,

While 'surfing' in cyberspace tonight I came accross a *searchable*
Statewide Marriage Index for the State of Illinois for the years 1763-1900.

It is searchable with either the name of bride *or* groom. It can be
searched using only last name. The search will provide:

Groom Bride Cnty Date Vol/Page License #

The link is: <A
HREF="http://www.cyberdriveillinois.com/departments/archives/marriage.html">
Illinois Statewide Marriage Index</A>

The URL is:
http://www.sos.state.il.us/departments/archives/marriage.html

I'm sure this site will be helpful to many.

Dear Fellow Genners:

As we welcome the new SephardicSig - I think it is important to point out
that in addition to the very accurate points that Ms.Field has already
pointed out - Sephardic Jewry has had a very important and very positive
influence on Ashkenazic Jewry.
Our Shulchan Aruch - the basic code of Jewish law was written by the
fifteenth century master Rav Yosef Karo of Sefad, as was scores of other
basic Halachic and Philosiphical books that were the foundation of every
Ashkenazic Jewish library in Europe for centuries.
In later centuries, especially among the Chasidic groups - the influence of
such Sephardic greats as eighteenth century Kabalist Reb Chaim Ben Attar
the author of the Ohr Hachaim was enormous. Altogether our "Nussach" was
heavily influenced by the Kabbalistic teachings of the Sephardic giants.
Therefore, not only can we trace our ancestors to Sephardim, we have learned
from our "cousins" quite a bit! Part of our understanding of the lifestyle
of our ancestors must include the great positive influence of the Sephardic
Jewry.

Hi,

I am searching any RUCH connection in South Africa. My records show that
the family left Rakeshik and most made it to South Africa.

Any information is welcome.

You ask:

Subject: Neshweiser?
My grandfather always told the family that he was >from Minsk, Kiev,
Ukraine, Russia. I recently received a copy of his SS-5, which lists his
place of birth as "Neshweiser, Russia". I cannot find this town in Shtetl
Seeker and when I typed it in as a general search of the web I got a 0
entries response.
Does anyone know where this town might be, or have been located? My
grandfather's family emigrated to America sometime between 1892 and 1903.
V. Friedman
Just another point of view:
Like Mr. Ferguson who was asked about his unusual for his group surname
explained that the clerck didn't understand his "ich bin fargessen" - I've
forgotten.
May be your grandfather told the same clerck "ich weis nisht" - "I don't
know", or just "nisht weis er" - "he doesn't know?
I would believe, by the way he really didn't know it exactly. If he did, why
should he give so different places of his origine, Minsk and Kiev?
