RUBIN

Dear Friends
I am endeavouring to trace the parents of Paul Rubin. Without his original name, its proved impossible, so far. Paul Rubin, according to his United States Naturalization Record, 1921, was born on the 4th July 1890, in Radomsko, Poland. It states on that Document that he arrived in New York, United States on or about 16th September 1913, aboard SS Potsdam sailing >from Rotterdam. Soon after he arrived into New York, he married Frida/Frieda, maiden name unknown. She was born in 1892 also in Russia/Poland. Frida arrived into New York in 1911. To-gether they had four children. Morris Dave, Ruth, Bernhard A and Rosalie. All born in New York. There is no record of anyone with any resemblance to the name of Paul Rubin born 4th July 1890 in Radomsko, Poland. I have checked many variations of Rubin without a glimmer of success. Is there anyone out there who recognizes any of the above names. Thank you Diana Terry

Looking for information re SELIG and FINCK families (from the Palatinate Region)
#germany
kathleeninc@...
Hello GerSig,
I have been doing genealogy research to find out more about one of my ancestors, Johann Jacob SELIG (b. 1732), who emigrated >from the Palatinate Region to Nova Scotia (Canada) in 1751. His parents were Johann Georg SELIG and Elisabetha FINCK. While I and some other family members have been searching for some time, we have been unable to find out exactly where they came >from or any other details about them. We do know that Johann Jacob SELIG travelled >from Rotterdam on a ship called the Murdoch, along with many first settlers of the Lunenberg/Tancook Island area of Nova Scotia (other names on the same ship include Schaffner, Wolff, Binder, Berger, Diell, Volcker, Hartman, Hirschman, Rissch, and Glasser). Some historical information inaccurately identifies them as French Protestants, and contains sketchy and probably unreliable information about their towns of origin. My great-grandmother was Catherine SELIG, the daughter of Solomon SELIG and Catherine MOORE, who lived in Purcell's Cove, Nova Scotia. There are numerous Seligs now throughout the province, as well as others scattered across Canada and the US. Most were/are practicing Jews, but some were/are not, presumably because the first settlers were compelled or encouraged to convert; or did so through intermarriage, lack of a Jewish community infrastructure, etc. I appreciate that the name has numerous forms (SEELIG, ZELIG, SELLECK, etc.), but the members of my family all seem to have been consistently listed as SELIG. Any information or tips about how to carry out further research on this would be most appreciated. Kathleen Reyno Louden, Ottawa (Ontario, Canada) kathleeninc@...

Document interpretation - ViewMate
#general
I've obtained my mother's case file >from World Jewish Relief, documenting the
assistance she received during World War II >from that organization, then called the German Jewish Aid Committee. The file contains an abbreviation whose meaning the volunteer at World Jewish Relief didn't know, so I've posted an image on ViewMate in the hope that someone familiar with this type of document can explain it to me. It is on ViewMate at http://www.jewishgen.org/viewmate/viewmateview.asp?key=VM45879 Please respond via the form provided in the ViewMate application. Thank you very much.

Yiddish word sought
#general
Paiste, Marsha S. <Marsha.Paiste@...>
I am writing a family history and I hope someone can help me with a small detail.
My grandparents owned a cat which was always walking on the table or jumping on the furniture. They yelled for it to get down and used a Yiddish word for "get off of there." That word then became the poor animal's name. The word sounded like "Fen-em-sha." I have tried to find the word in some reference works on Yiddish, but haven't had any luck. I hope someone out there knows what the command could be. Thanks in advance for your help. Marsha Starr Paiste

(Sweden) ArkivDigital Free Access March 19-20th.
#general
Jan Meisels Allen
Saturday March 19 is Genealogy Day in Sweden and many genealogy societies
and organizations host lectures and exhibits. ArkivDigital is participating and anyone may access their database for free March 19-20 >from their home. ArkivDitial has almost 60 million images to research Swedish heritage? - they increase their database by 600,000 images per month. The free offer is for those who do not currently have a subscription. If you think you might not have ancestors >from Sweden, there have been Jews in Sweden since the early 1700s. albeit a small population. Sweden opened its doors to Jews during WWII and again in 1956 when Jews were fleeing Hungary and then again when fleeing Communists in 1968. According to the Jewish Virtual Library the Jewish population increased tremendously between 1850 and 1920 due to immigration >from Russia and Poland. The population reached nearly 6,500 in 1920. Small groups of German, Austrian, and Czech Jews were allowed to immigrate to Sweden during the 1930's. Once the Nazi brutalities were known Sweden opened its doors to Jews. In 1942, Sweden allowed the immigration of 900 Norwegian Jews. In October 1943, Sweden gave asylum to more than 8,000 Danish Jews, the whole Danish Jewish community, which came to Sweden via small fishing boats. The Jewish population doubled between1945-1970. To learn more about their database go to: http://www.arkivdigital.net/volume To access the archives you will need to register with an email address and password. There is a user guide available for downloading on the website. You will also need to install their software. To get directions on how to download and register go to: http://www.arkivdigital.net/products/adonline/try-for-free For those who are interested they have an English blog accessible at: http://blog.arkivdigital.net/ I have no affiliation with ArkivDigital and am posting this solely for the information of the readers.

names

Ruth Hyman <ruth.hyman@...>
Karen,
Re your query about the names, Genya is the same name as Henya (no G in Russian), which is a nickname for Hana. Egudis I have found records for the wife or wives of my uncle >from Belarus, with the following names: Yudansya, Egudis, Genya. Egudis I think is yehudis (judith). I'm still working on Yudansya. No, I don't think any of these belonged too the same person unless she had more than one name. Do these three names all refer to the same person? It is possible that the first two names are the same person and my relative married a different woman named Genya after Egudis died? Ruth Hyman
