My ancestor is Johann Ludwig Geldmacher. He was born in Wolfhagen, Germany about 1750. I am looking for his ancestors. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Looking for any information about a Golding family who were listed in
the Gorbals immigrant area of Glasgow in the 1911 Census.

The widow Ethel Golding was 56 and born in Odessa, Ukraine. Perhaps
her original name was Goldinger?

Ethel had given birth to 8 children, of which only 4 were still
living. Only 1 of the children was living with her in 1911 - 23 year
old Hyman Golding, also born in Odessa and a wood carver.

Hyman had left Glasgow and was living in London by 1914.

Does anyone have any knowledge of what became of Hyman and his mother Ethel?

thanks

   Does anyone recognize this uniform?  This is a picture of my Zaide, Judah Garfinkel taken around 1904.

Here's a thought to ponder.  My daughter-in-law's Indian family changed its name from a Southern India name to a Northern one when her parents emigrated around 40 years ago.  I was told that they chose a more common last name that would be accepted where they lived in NYC and presumably that also helped her father establish his medical practice.

I'm researching FRAGER, POLTORAK, and HAKMAN in VOLHYNIA, in particular YEMELCHYNE (Milczyn, Emilshin) and a village 8 miles from OLEVSK known as Dolgoselia, or “Long Village.” (Additional searches for Poltorak in RIVNE, and an unnamed rabbi in what is now RADYVYLIV.

There is a more locally derived database of bmd for Manchester. See www.lancashirebmd.org.uk which has been transcribed from the original registry office files. For other areas see www.ukbmd.org.uk. The General Registry Office index has numerous errors due to transcription processes.

German has had obligatory civil marriage since 1876, so you should ask the city archive of Siegburg about the record:

Shalom, 

I would be very grateful if someone could please let me know whether the document below contains any information on the murder of Jews in the town square of Rezekne. In 1945, my family were told by the locals in Rezekne  that my ancestor, Moshe Shmuel Goldberg, was rounded up in the town square with other Jews and murdered .

Thank you very much indeed.

According to a family tree I found on MyHeritage, a cousin of mine, born Jewish in Vienna, was married in 1917 to a Christian in St Servatius Cathedral in Siegburg. I have little experience with German records and no experience with records for Catholic marriages.  How would one obtain a record?  My cousin had a very common name so there is a reasonable likelihood of an error in the tree.

Thanks to all who responded.  I did have the info on my other cousins, and yes, it seems all Siberdi people are my relatives...the name was taken when my great grandfather moved to Romania. No one ones what the name was originally, or where he was from, except that it was the Austro-Hungarian Empire (according to my grandmothers' birth record.)  You would think tat with such a unique name, that research would be easier, but it is not!
