If you don't have much Jewish background, try to train yourself to
start thinking in terms of the Jewish calendar in terms of dates and
holidays and the lunar cycle. Remember that the Jewish calendar set the
essential rhythms for the lives of many of your ancestors. By
remembering to "keep a foot in each world", you will find it easier to
understand what you are learning about your family. You may also be able
to figure things out that you couldn't otherwise. An anecdote to
illustrate: I have twin aunts who are half-way through the birth order
in a family of ten (this is relevant because with births in quick
succession many times the family no longer had deceased ancestors they
wanted to remember with names.) Although I know their birthday if I
didn't I would know it in a heartbeat. Why? Because their names are
Esther and Hadassah. These are the same name: Esther, the "Persian" or
whatever, and Hadassah, the Hebrew. So when would twin girls be born who
would be given these names? Purim, of course!

Jonina Duker is searching: BEIDICK (near Minsk), DUKER (near Minsk),
maybe GOLDBERG, GORODINSKY (Minsk), KATZ (probably Latvia), LEVINE
(probably near Minsk), RACHMAN (Salakas, Simferopol), SCHMUELIWITZ
(probably near Minsk), SIEGEL (near Vilna), STRAUSS and more to be later
identified ...

After complaining bitterly about the lack of response I had >from Argentina
to my letters trying to establish a family relationship, I tried one more
time and sent out another batch.

The first time I had the letter translated into Spanish and only wrote
those with postal codes, as I had been told that the mail wouldn't be
delivered to those without postal codes.

My second letter, about a year later, I wrote in English and I sent to
every person listed in the phone directory with the same surname as mine.
I wrote in January of this year.

Last week, I am thrilled to report, that one of the non-postal-coded
persons replied to me! His family did indeed come >from the same place as
mine, in 1904, and we are sure we are cousins, but now it remains to find
the elusive connection.

Thank you to all of you who gave me encouragement to keep trying, and I
wish to pass on that same sentiment again to others. Who knows if we will
be able to establish a relationship, but the feeling I have at having made
this contact is quite exhilerating and overwhelming.

Never give up, and thank you.

Ada Glustein.

A very kind Jewishgenner in England recently sent me copies of two pages

from the lists of Jewish burials in Muiderberg Cemetery in Amsterdam.

Each page contains 11 columns and maybe 40 or 50 burials. The word or
words at the top of each column is in, I assume, Dutch and I am hoping
somebody can help me out by explaining what each of them means. The 11
headings are:

Translation:

datum : Date
burg voor : Civil First name
burg patr : Civil Patronymic
burg acht : Civil Surname
tran joodse acht : Transcription of Jewish Surname
tran joodse voor : Transcription of Jewish First name

staat: Marital Status
Vrv : Women of..
Ongeh : Unmarried, Singel
Wed : Widow of..

tran joods patr : Jewish Patronymic
burg acht echt : Civil Surname of Husband
tran joodse acht echt :Transcription of Jewish Surname of Husband
uit : Place of Origin


The list come >from the book:

Dear JewishGenners:

Today I met with the wife of the AID Officer >from the US Embassy in Minsk
to discuss a variety of issues about which I will post later in a
separate message. During the course of the meeting she told me that she
spoke with Mrs. Alla Borisovna WOLFSON in Belarus who had asked her to
help trace some long lost relatives (or their descendents) who had
immigrated to the US in the early 1900's. The limited information I was
provided is found below:

Father's Relatives:
Haim and Avremut SORKIN left for Brooklyn, NY in 1914. They were born in
the village of Kapustino, Bobruisk District, Minsk Gubernia. In Belarus,
they had brothers Donya, Iosif, Zalman, and Benyamin.

Mother's Relatuves:
Mrs. Maryasha MOROSHEK (MARSHAK)
Father- Tsuhak BERENSHTEIN (BERNSTEIN)
Mother- Sima

from the village Krynki, Osipovichsky

Left Belarus in 1924 or 1925 for Brooklyn, NY
The had a haberdasher store.
Had two children: Son and daughter

If you can connect to this family, please reply by private e-mail and I
will forward you reply to the Embassy who will in turn contact Mrs.
WOLFSON.

The JewishGen Family Finder and the Family Tree of the Jewish People have
SORKIN, MARSHAK, and BERNSTEIN. Maybe someone can link up with long lost
relatives.
