Early Jewish landowners in Decatur, GA
#general
Ann Rabinowitz <annrab@...>
Don't be surprised that there were Jewish settlers in Georgia in 1849. As
one of the original thirteen colonies, Georgia also boasted of early Jewish landowners and shopkeepers as well as participants in the later Revolutionary War. In 1733, several boatloads of Jewish colonists arrived in the newly founded town of Savannah, primarily with Jews of Spanish/Portuguese or German extraction. They migrated as others did >from the colonies such as Virginia and >from the Caribbean, England and Germany. There is much written and many records to be found about the Jews of Georgia.

My g'grandmother's headstone indicates that her husband was "Rav"ChaimRav = rabbi. But I suspect that on this headstone both terms could stand for Reb = Mister. Usually if it did mean rabbi the term would be Harav = the Rabbi. Certainly that would be the case in the name of your ggm's father. Murray Freedman

Marriage in Eiselstein
#general
Gill Joye <Gilljoye@...>
I have a copy of a sworn affadavit which states that CHARLES SOLOMON married
Cesira Marinina MIRANDOLI on 16th August 1859 in Eiselstein,near Rotterdam. (Their Hebrew names were Saul and Sarah). They normally lived in London and had married abroad (they already had 3 children) because Cesira converted to the jewish faith at this time. I am keen to track down the actual marriage record and wondered if anyone could help me with a lookup or tell me who to contact. I think that nowadays Eiselstein is the same place as Ijsselstein.

Transilation Please
#general
Arthur B. Schwartz, Jr. <abschwartzjr@...>
Dear Genners,
Can someone deciper the meaning of the following: shin, vet, chet This is supposed to be my grandmothers family name in Hebrew (so I have been told - I don't know Hebrew). I would like to know how it translates because I am finding it difficult to trace her family because the spelling was changed at Ellis Island, not once but twice! Two different spellings for different family members - depending on which line they stood in. Thanks, Art Schwartz, Jr. abschwartzjr@...
