By far the best on-line resource for determining the American version
of Yiddish names is JewishGen's Given Names Database. You type in the
European country, the Yiddish name, and it will provide you with a
list of other versions of the name used in the home country as well as
the names most likely to be used in the U.S.

Unfortunately, the GNDB, although it contains a multitude of
alternatives for each Yiddish name, does not have a "sounds like"
feature and so the spelling must be exact. It took me months to
realize that though it would not recognize Iosel and Iudel, it did
have data for Yosel and Yudel. The user sometimes has to experiment
creatively with Yiddish spellings to get a result.

Or you'd have to know that Chaskel is also spelled Khatskel, Haskl and
several other ways in Yiddish records The most frequent American
version of the name is Charles, followed by Ezekiel / Harry / Haskel /
Henry / Hyman.. (Ezekiel? you may be asking yourself. Yes, Khatskel is
a form of Yechezkeyl.)

Hinda is in the GNDB for Lithuania and its most frequent Americanized
versions were Anna, Hanna, Helen, Hilda, Ida and Irma.

JewishGen provides a wealth of information; it's just very difficult
to find sometimes. Good hunting!

I believe that the town could have been Brisk, which was the Yiddish
name for Brest Litovsk.









1. Does anyone know of the town of Rilsk,Russia?


I have found two references to the town of R I l s k , Russia in
Declarations of Intent by two brothers of my Grandmother Eve Rosen. My
Grandmother Eva Rosen married my Grandfather Lieb Kopoloff who was living in
Vetka( near Gomel ) Belarus around 1900. I believe the Rosen family could
not have lived that far away, but can find no reference to this town.
Anyone have any idea about this town.
Sincerely,
Ari Kopolow

My Co-Chairs and I know >from the emails we get, that there are so many
people who want to attend the upcoming conference in Seattle, Aug 7-12,
but who just can't fit the conference into their calendar or their
budget. Although virtually attending the conference isn't as fabulous
as being there, it does provide access to about 90% of all of the
conference sessions. We also know that many of the attendees are
frustrated at not being to attend every session, and since there are
over 235 sessions, that's obviously physically impossible, so we have
solutions for you.

There are two ways to hear/see what's happening at the conference, and
they work well together. I'll briefly describe each of them, since
their titles may not be descriptive enough. The first is LIVE! This
provides live streaming of sessions by some of our most popular
speakers. This means that if you have the time, you can watch (and
hear) the sessions as they are being presented, as if you were there!
The conference is in Seattle, Washington, so the time of each session is
listed in Pacific Daylight Time (UTC/GMT -7 hours). If you don't have
time to tune in while the session is streaming, no worries. After the
conference is over, you 90 days to access the session "on demand".

The other way to hear the sessions is to purchase the audio/slides
recording. Almost all of the sessions at the conference are being
recording (voice only) with the slides the presenter is using. Some
presenters do not have their slides being recorded, in which case, the
recording of that session is only audio. If you purchase this, you will
receive the whole package a few weeks after the conference is over and
be able to listen to the presentation and see the slides as your
leisure. Not all presentations that are on LIVE! are having audio
recordings made.

To purchase LIVE! and/or the audio and slides, go to the IAJGS 2016
website (http://www.iajgs2016.org/) then, under the registration tab,
Select New Registration;
Click "Go to Registration Form (for starting out)" near the bottom;
Click the gray New Registration button;
Enter your personal information and click Continue;
Select 5. Full LIVE! only (not attending in Seattle) or
7. Full LIVE! & Full Audio/slides (not attending in Seattle) and
continue to the end.

Of course, if you are attending the conference and want to purchase the
packages, there are options on the menu above to do that as well.

Looking forward to seeing many of you in Seattle!

Over the next two years a total of 15 Stolpersteine will be laid in front of
Mommsenstrasse 47, Charlottenburg, Berlin, including 3 for my father and
grandparents, who survived. My father, Max Heinz NATHAN, got out in 1939 to
England, and my grandparents, Werner NATHAN and Margarete NATHAN geb HAHN,
survived Theresienstadt. I am working on this project with the building
owners' son. In 2017 my 3 stones will be laid, together with 3 for the
ALEXANDER family. I have found several grandchildren of the ALEXANDERs,
some of whom will come to Berlin for the ceremony. I am now trying to find
living descendants, or close living relatives, of the other victims. It
appears that some did not have children, or at least I haven't found any so
far. If you are a descendant of, or are related to, these victims, please
contact me at my email address below. I do not need additional information
or records on the victims themselves, or their fate. I am just trying to
find close living relatives.

Emil GUTTMANN, a widower, born 5.9.1870 in Merchingen - apparently no
children.

Adolf ISAACSOHN, born 12.3.1879 in Prillwitz - apparently no children..
Bertha ISAACSOHN, born KARPF, born 1.9.1897 in Erlangen - apparently no
children.

Julius JASTROWITZ, born 13.3.1876 in Berlin - POT on Yad Vashem submitted by
his step-daughter, Ilse Ruth Munk of Jerusalem in 1956. Ilse was born 1912.
Betty JASTROWITZ, born MOSES, born 8.9.1883 in Gartz an der Oder - POT on
Yad Vashem submitted by her daughter, Ilse Ruth Munk of Jerusalem in 1956.
Ilse was born 1912. I haven't found any children for Ilse.

Helga OPPENHEIM, born LEWINNEK, born 20.6.1922 in Berlin

Alice MARCUS, born GUTMANN, born 27.11.1894 in Berlin. Alice was previously
married to Max HADRA, who died 17 November 1928. They had a daughter, Ellen
HADRA, born 18.6.1921 in Berlin. I found her birth notice on Berliner
Tageblatt. Is she still alive? Did she have children? I cannot find
anything further on her.

My Co-Chairs and I know >from the emails we get, that there are so many
people who want to attend the upcoming conference in Seattle, Aug 7-12,
but who just can't fit the conference into their calendar or their
budget. Although virtually attending the conference isn't as fabulous
as being there, it does provide access to about 90% of all of the
conference sessions. We also know that many of the attendees are
frustrated at not being to attend every session, and since there are
over 235 sessions, that's obviously physically impossible, so we have
solutions for you.

There are two ways to hear/see what's happening at the conference, and
they work well together. I'll briefly describe each of them, since
their titles may not be descriptive enough. The first is LIVE! This
provides live streaming of sessions by some of our most popular
speakers. This means that if you have the time, you can watch (and
hear) the sessions as they are being presented, as if you were there!
The conference is in Seattle, Washington, so the time of each session is
listed in Pacific Daylight Time (UTC/GMT -7 hours). If you don't have
time to tune in while the session is streaming, no worries. After the
conference is over, you 90 days to access the session "on demand".

The other way to hear the sessions is to purchase the audio/slides
recording. Almost all of the sessions at the conference are being
recording (voice only) with the slides the presenter is using. Some
presenters do not have their slides being recorded, in which case, the
recording of that session is only audio. If you purchase this, you will
receive the whole package a few weeks after the conference is over and
be able to listen to the presentation and see the slides as your
leisure. Not all presentations that are on LIVE! are having audio
recordings made.

To purchase LIVE! and/or the audio and slides, go to the IAJGS 2016
website (http://www.iajgs2016.org/) then, under the registration tab,
Select New Registration;
Click "Go to Registration Form (for starting out)" near the bottom;
