Hi,

I hope to find assistance to locate sources of information re this new
discovery:

My gt-grandparents along with their 13 living children moved from
Tuchel/Tuchola to Danzig/Gdansk somewhere between 1918 and 1919.
My gt-grandfather, Gustav BECKER, was one of 5 authorized kosher
butchers in Danzig as I found out >from the Rabbinate's correspondence
now in Jerusalem.
A week ago, I found the death registration of one of the youngest
children (Elsa-Esther) in March 1920, Danzig. In it, it states that
she died in Berlin and the body was transferred to Danzig. She was 3
years and 11 months old at death.

I *assume* she was in Berlin along with her mother Rosa-Rachel BECKER
nee LEVY to get better medical assistance as I do not know of any
family members there at the time and it is a long way >from Tuchel or
Danzig.

Where can I find additional information to support or refute this?
Where would they have stayed? Was there a Jewish children's hospital?

TIA,
Tamar AMIT

PS - following is the link to the death registrations 1st relevant
page (#1423, 7th line on page).

Shana Mink asked for help for a town pronounced as "Salsunderska".
Possibly near Ligmiyan or Utena
or otherwise possibly in the Kovno Guberna? ....
Now there's a couple of challenging town names! Could they be garbled?

Found the large town Utena in Lithuania at 5530/2536...it has a
Jewishgen community page...
it was in Vilkomer, Kovno gubernya before WWI
and another community page for Lygumai 83 miles WNW of Utena at 5600/2339

I went to JewishGen's radius search and looked for towns beginning
with the letter S within 30 miles
of those two lithuanian towns....

found Saldatiskio, Saldutishkis, Saldutiskis, Sylgudyszki, ....13
miles SE of Utena
(there's a recent researcher listed on JGFF for this town)
and Saldutishkis,14 miles SE

Hope this helps
see you at the conference! I'll be chairing the Resource Room...

I have a request to do graves at Mt. Hebron in Queens, New York, so I am offering
to assist with additional photos time permitting.

I am happy to take photos (and if need be consult with the office) and I
appreciate a few dollars >from each person who makes a request to help with my
expenses of gasoline, etc.

Mt. Hebron has an online database which should be the first resource looking for
graves. Please if you are looking for a grave be as specific as possible --
last time I did this someone sent me a family name and a society name. The family
name did not match the cemetery records and they had not given me a first name
or any information on the death. The society had three plots amounting to
several hundred graves so there was nothing I could do to help them. Hence
please be as specific as possible so I have enough information on site to
complete your request.

I am not entirely sure of my schedule because this will be weather dependent.
I am not going to go during a heatwave or rain. In nice weather it can be an
interesting experience.

Please do not duplicate requests between myself and others on the list -- or if
you do please make sure that everyone knows that you are making the request
multiple times to see who can do it first.

A reality of life for much of the Jewish population in Eastern Europe was being
poor, and this chapter, "Poverty and Hardship in Bobruisk," >from the Yizkor
book of this town in Belarus, 86 miles southeast of Minsk, is testament
to that. In its large poor quarter lived "in old cut-up pants porters and
shoemakers and tailors--also beggars, hunchbacks, sick, coughing, and wives,
which stood with their baskets in the market." The poor suffered the winter
in cold houses, scrambled for work and were victimized by gangs and a "Jewish
underworld" that took advantage of conditions. One result was to make the
town's poor quarter, known as Sloboda, ripe for the appeal of Russia's
revolutionary movement.

Did your family live in New York? There are many interesting research
possibilities in the Big Apple! JewishGen's Intermediate Course,
Breaking Brick Walls in the United States, will focus on New York
Resources. This course will be especially useful to those who visit
NY; we'll have suggestions on where to research, where to wander and
how to get there.

If, despite basic online research (census >from familysearch &
ancestry, vital records >from italiangen) you have not yet found the
Hebrew names, birth year or town for your U.S. immigrant ancestors
consider this course as it focuses on the more esoteric documents our
ancestors generated, including naturalization, military and
governmental records, death records (probate, obituaries, cemeteries),
and local archival research.

We are proud to feature a personal mentoring program; students use our
online FORUM, post an ancestral branch, set goals for research, and
work one on one with the instructor. Eight text lessons can be
downloaded to read at your own pace and an optional field trip to a
New York archive will be scheduled. This course is open for
enrollment. PLEASE read the course descriptions and requirements
(8-10 hours per week) on
www.jewishgen.org/education/description.asp?course=40088
and email any questions.

I look forward to interfacing with every student.

Be aware that when using https://pra.in.ua/search/filter you?ll get
different results depending on whether you enter the name you?re looking for
in Ukrainian characters, Russian characters or English characters.  For
example, entering Rabinovich in Russian characters gets you 234 entries, all
in Russian characters.  Entering the same name in Ukrainian characters gets
you 30 entries, all in Ukrainian characters.  Entering Rabinovich or any of
its equivalents in English characters gets you nothing at all.  English
characters only work for names that happen to have entries in English
characters and only gets you those particular entries.
