I've posted a surname in Russian for which I'd appreciate a translation/transliteration. I'd like to know what the surname of Moszek is at Number 82 on this index of births. Is it Biezynski? Bytynski? Surrounding names are shown so further samples of the scribe's handwriting can be seen.

It is on ViewMate at the following address: http://www.jewishgen.org/viewmate/viewmateview.asp?key=VM45913

Please respond via the form provided in the ViewMate application.

Thank you so much.

Hi,

from new records appearing on LitvakSIG I have come across the

following marriage:

In Vilnius, Moshe REICHZELIGMAN (appears in the record as:
REYTSELIKMAN) married on 11th December 1864 to Bluma Leska
SHEVELIOVICH d/o Zelik.

1. Does this connect to anyone?
2. What would be a more modern name >from Leska or could it be
a typo and should be Leah?

Thanks and regards

Searching for more information on Sam ZIMMER who married Sadie DAVIDOFF.
Their daughter Esther was born December 1919 and enumerated in the 1920
census as less than one month old. They had two younger daughters, Ruth
and Shirley. Lived in NYC and then in Sullivan County NY.

I may be related to Sam ZIMMER and need more information on him. His
naturalization form says he was born in "Chernowitz Bukovina." The 1920
census says he arrived in 1915 and received his papers in 1919. He
arrived in the US as Sender ZIMMER when he crossed the border >from Canada
in 1915. He arrived in Canada in 1913 aboard the Montezuma >from Antwerp
and was headed to a sister in Montreal.

So - who was his sister in Montreal? Who was his father?

Note: this is **not** the same man as Sender ZIMMER who was married to
Minnie and came >from Zborow. That latter Sender/Sam is definitely one of
my relatives.
