Retracing 1946 flight reservations which were cancelled #general

#226083

In Dec. 1946 my grandfather who was living in Tel-Aviv made reservation for 
my mother and her two children (incl. myself) toctravel TWA >from Tel-Aviv 
to NYC via Cairo.

When we arrived in Cairo we were "bumped off" the next leg due to overloaded plane.

Is there any way today to find what were the flights ordered from
Cairo to NYC.  Was it a direct flight and the date?

Genners,

I have in the past looked for my gr uncle David BEAR/BAER 1867-?
without success.  David married Jennie IBBOTSON 1872-1925 on 24 Feb
1891.  They had 3 children Simon Lee 1893-1971, David Marshall
1904-1999 (aka Marshall BEAR) & Jeanette 1896-1992 who married Thomas
CLAIR and had 1 daughter Joan Caroline 1927-1986 who married a man
with the surname WALKER.

David & Jennie were both born in PA, Jennie died in Pittsburgh.  All
of their children died in San Diego, CA.

Did Joan WALKER have children?  I would like very much to know when
David died and where he is buried so if he has descendants possibly
they would know.

Many thanks,

Re: Moldova, Moldavia, Bessarabia #romania

Rosanne Leeson

#288151

There is clearer definition needed to distinguish the present-day  
Moldavia region of Romania, which is in Romania, and west of the Prut 
River, >from the separate country, the Republic of Moldova, east of the 
Prut River.  The present day definitions are what are used on JewishGen.
Please notice the difference in spelling.

It is true that in the past the country borders etc. were different.It 
is the old story of the man who was born in one country, married in 
another, died in a third, and never left home!   There are similar 
problems with Polish, Galician and German records as well.  There are 
also the records in the west of what is now Romania, but was formerly 
part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire.  The majority of those civil 
records are in Hungarian, and we let the Hungarian SIG work on those.

So, as Sorin has stated, it is important to learn a little history of 
the area >from which your family came, to have the most success at 
locating their family records.  But we do all try to cooperate in 
sending you to the best group, if it is possible.

Dear Researchers,

I have received an email >from Marilyn  (you can see part of the message
below),  I am responding to the whole Bessarabia SIG, Rom-SIG, Ukraine SIG
and to JewishGen Discussion group.  The reason is that I am getting similar
questions all the time, and I understand the confusion of Marilyn and many
other Jewish Genealogists.

My goal is to clear this confusion.  If you have questions after my
explanation, please do not hesitate to email me or the whole group.

Let's start with terminology.
The term Moldavia and Moldova mean the same region!  Moldova is in Romanian
language and Moldavia was adopted by Russian and other languages, including
English.  Charles King in "The Moldovans.  Romania, Russia, and the Politics
of Culture", Stanford U., 1999 writes that "It is a myth that Moldova
changed its name >from Moldavia.   What happened in the 1990s was simply that
we in the West became better informed about what locals themselves had
always called it."

So let's dive into the history of the region:

Moldavia is known as a country or Principality >from 14 century until 1812.
There were also two other Danube or Romanian Principalities  Walachia and
Transilvania.  At some point in the history Moldavia joined other
Principalities.  In 1538 Moldovia surrendered to Ottoman Empire, and
remained under Turks for about 300 years.  It was not a colonization in a
strict sense.  Moldavia inhabitants exercise their Christian Orthodoxy,
Turks were not able to settle in the region, except in several fortified
towns on the border, and in far north and south parts of the region.

You can find details about the history, governments of the region at our
Bessarabia SIG website or directly at

f

History of Jews in Bessarabia in the 15th to 19th Centuries Geography,
History, Social Status, 2008, Yefim Kogan
You also can find a set of historical maps on Moldova at Wikimedia at
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Maps_of_the_history_of_Moldova
and many more maps and articles on the topic of today?s discussion.

Here is a simple version (I probably missed a few details).
Starting >from 18 century Russia tried to influence Moldavia, occupied it at
the end of 18 century, established military rule, fought many wars on the
territory of Moldova with Ottomans.  Finally Moldavia was divided in 1775,
when Austrian Empire occupied part of Moldova - Bukovina, and in 1812
Russian Empire received the eastern part of Moldavia, a region between
rivers Prut and Dnester.  That region became Bessarabia Oblast and later in
19c Bessarabia Gubernia (province).

In 1812 the rest of Moldova (western part) was still under Ottoman rule
until Moldavia and Walachia formed Romania.  Romania was officially
recognized as an independent country in 1878.

One additional swap of lands:  >from 1856-1878 south-western part of
Bessarabia went back to Moldova.  That region included towns of Izmail,
Kiliya, Reni, Leovo, Kagul.  You can see the map with that region on page 4
of the article above.

Let's follow the history:   until WWI nothing changed in the region.  After
WWI and Russian Revolution of 1917 and Russian Civil War,   the region of
North Bukovina and Bessarabia went back Romanian rule.  This is why who ever
lived in Bessarabia in 1920-1940 knows that they were born in Romania, but
in many cases their parents who were born in the same shteitlakh, but before
1917 know that they were born in Russia.

In 1940 Soviet Union took the lands of Bessarabia and North Bukovina back.
This is the time that was formed Moldavskaya Sovetskaya Sotsialisticheskaya
Respublika (MSSR, one of 15 Soviet Republics.  MSSR Included most part of
Bessarabia and a small region on the left side of Dniester River, now called
Transnistria (with towns of Tiraspol, Rybnitsa, Kamenka, Slobodzeya,
Rashkov, etc.)  Also south region of Bessarabia with towns of Akkerman,
Kiliya, Ismail, Reni,  and far north region of Bessarabia with towns of
Khotin, Sokeryani, Klishkivtsi, Novoselitsa, etc. became part of Ukraine
Soviet Republic.

Here is my personal story >from my family who lived in what is Bessarabia for
several centuries:
- I was born in the Soviet Union, Republic of Moldova;
- My parents were born in Romania;
- Grandparents were born in Russian Empire?

What's happening in 1990s you probably know well.

I hope I did not bored you?

Why we are confused?

- Our members are looking for information about their relatives, and they
see that now Bessarabia Vital records database and Bessarabia Revision List
database has more than 250,000 records.  But if the towns the relatives live
are Moinesti or Tirgu Ocna no records will be in the Bessarabia Database!

The thing is that the Romania (Moldova)  and Bessarabia (Republic of Moldova
+ parts of Ukraine) have different genealogy.  Bessarabian records are
written mostly in Russian or Russian and Hebrew,  and Romanian (Moldova)
records most likely were written in Romanian.
Also most of the Bessarabian records are held in Chisinau (Kishinev, this
is how I remember that town),  and of course the Romanian records are most
likely in Yassy, a provincial center in what used to be Moldova
Principality, and later a large center in Moldova region of Romania.

- The same names Moldova, or Moldavia are used for land in current state of
Romania, that is the western part of Romania, as well as the whole country
of  Republic of Moldova.

I have suggested a number of times to JewishGen to avoid at least some of
the confusions:
1. Rename the Romanian Database to Romania-Moldova Database or
Romania-Bessarabia Database
2. At the list of Romanian Databases  there is a section Moldavia,  but it
should be Romania (Moldavia)
3. The section of Moldavia Vital Records should be renamed Romania
(Moldavia) Vital Records.
I believe that these small modifications will be very helpful.

If you have any questions or probably even more questions than before,
please let's discuss, send to me or to the group.

Hello Yefim,
I've been following this project and appreciate your more complete break
down in today's Jewishgen Digest.  I did contribute to Bob Wascou before he
passed.  The reason for this message is that I'm confused.  My family were
from Moinesti and Tirgu Ocna, both near each other in Moldova.  However,this area was not Bessarabia.  ?..

Can you explain what areas of Moldova are covered other than Bessarabia and

Cadastral Map for Strzylki, Galicia 1853 new on Gesher Galicia's Map Room #poland

Pamela Weisberger

#249116

A new map has been added to Gesher Galicia's Map Room:

Strzy=C5=82ki Cadastral Map 1853

A full-color lithographed cadastral map of the village of Strzylki
(Strilky, Strelki, Strzylki), with the hamlet of Mlyny.  By the time
of this survey, Strzylki was already a populated village stretching
along the Dniester River, with a large road connecting Stary Sambor to
Turka on the opposite shore - much as it is today. The map shows only
a single masonry building and no distinct town center, but a large
number of wooden buildings including a church at one end of the
residential area, plus a small nearby Catholic cemetery. Buildings and
land parcels are all clearly numbered; redline revisions to building
and parcel outlines indicate extensive changes in town after the 1853
survey.

Yizkor Book Project, August 2015 #warsaw #poland

bounce-3013938-772981@...

#313705

Shalom,

Here I am again letting you know a little of what has gone on in the Yizkor
Book Project over the past month. As always, new books and entries have been
added in and existing projects stride forward with many additional
translations accumulated during the past month.

To begin with, during August two projects were completed online:

Krosno, Poland (Krosno by the Wislok River)  and for that we would like to
thank Bill Liebner for his donation of this compilation and to Jane W.
Aronson & Toby Bird for their careful editing of this project.
Strzyzow, Poland  (The book of Strzyzow and vicinity) and this came out
thanks to the massive typing up of the book carried out by Genia Hollander &
Helen Rosenstein Wolf which allowed us to place the book online.

At the same time, the Yizkor Book in Print (YBIP) Project continues to
regularly bring out new books and this past month, the book " Pure Soldiers
or Sinister Legion" by Sol Littman has been added to the ever growing list
of published books. For more details of this book and the YBIP Project,
please see the link noted at the end of this message.

As you know, the bulk of the work within the Yizkor Book Project is carried
out by volunteers - translating, editing, typing, indexing, htmling,
scanning and more. The success of our project is definitely to their credit
and I do endeavor to note all of those who take in the Yizkor Book Project
in the volunteer list appearing at: http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/ - just
one way of making sure that their contribution and our heartfelt
appreciation of their work is made known to the wider public. The list is
impressive with nearly 600 names, this does emphasize how many people do
make up the YB Project.

Before outlining the details of what was carried out during August, I would
like to take this opportunity wish all of you and your families a Shana Tova
with a hope that the new year will bring happier and more optimistic times
for ourselves and for humanity as a whole.
