I recently asked whether, among late 18th century Ashkenazic Jews,
it was acceptable to name a son after a famous living ancestor (in
this case, R. Aryeh Yehuda Leib, Av Beth Din of Ludmir) *if* the name
was slightly changed (i.e. >from Aryeh Yehuda Leib to Gur Aryeh).

In reply, Jerry Hoffman <jerome.hoffman@...> wrote:

"I do know that if a son-in-law to be has the same Hebrew name as the
bride's father, the practice is to change the name of the son-in-law
ever so slightly. I thought the custom, and it is a custom, was based
at least in part on the fear that the Angel of Death might make a
mistake and take the younger baby/person by mistake but that "risk" is
obviated by changing the name at least in part."

According to my understanding, the practice of naming a new-born child
after an ancestor was meant to give the outstanding qualities of that
ancestor to the new-born. Might that principle also apply to naming a
new-born son after an ancestor while changing the name slightly so as
to fool the Angel of Death?? (Jews are awfully good at finding clever
ways of "working around" a prohibition so as to make it acceptable.)

Hello
I inquire about the Fisher family >from the town of Viseu de Mijloc.
A few months ago I sent an email investigator Family Finder named
Shlomo Chanoch Gotlieb ((# 697853).
I did not get an answer until now.
Does anyone know how to find this person?
Thank you

Hello everyone
I have a question. After searching for the past several times on the
Fisher family >from the town of Viseu de Mijloc County Marmarosch,
Hungary, now I finally managed to find the family.
The problem I could reach back only to 1850. I understand that this is
the year that began in Marmarosch vital records.
The question is: does any family documents >from Marmarosch before
1850? Is there an alternative way to find information on family from
Marmarosch before 1850?
The earliest document I found, is the eldest child's birth in 1869.
Many thanks for any reply
David

Hello Fellow Researchers,

I've posted a couple of pages >from my great-grandfather's passport that
require translation. My great-grandfather's name is Josef Silberstein. He
was >from Wielkie-Oczy, Poland and moved to Berlin. The document at
hand is a passport that includes a visa issued in the 1920s by the Polish
Consulate in Berlin. In addition to being interested in a translation of
these pages, I'm also trying to figure out when he moved to Berlin with
my great-grandmother (Sara Abend Silberstein) and grandfather (David
Silberstein). I'm basically trying to build a timeline of when my
grandfather and his parents moved >from Poland to Berlin.

The passport pages are on ViewMate at the following addresses ...

I've posted a vital record in Russian for which I need a translation.
It is on ViewMate at the following address:

This is a wedding registration for my GG Uncle; I believe that the
wedding took place in Bakalarzewo, Poland. I'm most interested in
any details on this document about the groom's mother, Zelda.
But I would absolutely appreciate as much other information as possible.
