Dear Genners,

I have picture >from Ida Shrager Becker's, my aunt, 60th birthday
party in 1955 at the Golden Slipper Club. The families attending are
Becker and Shrager. I can identify all the Becker related people.
There are four unidentified people who I think are related Shragers.
Are they Ida's brothers and their wives or her sister? I am looking
for members of the extended Shrager family to identify the unknown
Shragers.

A July 7, 1956 obituary for Israel Shrager lists the following
survivors:

Wife: Lena

Children: Harry, Albert, Nathan Philip, Frances Hecht

Brother to: Jonah, Ida Becker, Sarah Chadiker

The family lived on the 4900 Block of N 7th St.

Your assistance to complete this family story is greatly appreciated.

One of the problems dealing with Russian archives is that they seem to be be
strict about insisting on proof of relationships through documentation. For
example, I cannot prove with actual documentation my relationship to my
mother's mother's mother's sister and her son (i.e. my maternal
grandmother's aunt and her first cousin). The archives in Ukraine do not
seem to be strict like this (for the moment anyway).

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.

Since the beginning of 2017 Johannes Reiss (Austrian Jewish Museum) has been
working on a digital edition of the younger Jewish cemetery of Eisenstadt.

http://www.ojm.at/blog/friedhof-eisenstadt-jung/archiv/

As was the case with the edition of the older Jewish cemetery of Eisenstadt
and the edition of the Jewish cemetery of Mattersdorf/Mattersburg, all the
Hebrew headstone inscriptions are transcribed and all graves are collected
by name.

As a new feature of this project, translations of all the Hebrew headstone
inscriptions are provided; moreover, the focus of work is now on extended
biographical data which are checked against the communal registers
(Matriken). Currently, the project is a work in progress. As always,
comments with genealogical information would be greatly appreciated.

This digital edition of the younger Jewish cemetery of Eisenstadt is thus a
completely revised, enhanced and extended edition of Johannes Reiss, book

from 1995:

"Hier in der heiligen juedischen Gemeinde. Die Grabinschriften des juengeren
juedischen Friedhofs von Eisenstadt".
