Help Reading 1903 Ship Manifest
#records
#translation
slublin@...
I am hoping someone can help me read lines 14, 15, and 16 of this 1903 ship manifest arriving in New York (parts are blurred) of my great grandfather Michael Kaniger, wife Debora from Galatz Romania, and looks like a 9 year old nephew. I can't make out the nephew's full name or the name of the person and address they are going to. I have been searching for this manifest for over 2 years and any assistance/suggestions reading it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Joint Message about the Situation in Ukraine
#JewishGenUpdates
#ukraine
Avraham Groll
Dear Friends,
With deep concern, we are carefully following the tragic situation which has unfolded in Ukraine over the past few days. As Jewish genealogists, we are devoted to preserving our collective family history, and we are horrified to see how many families - both within and without the Jewish community - are being disrupted, destroyed, and upended during this conflict.
In this regard, we are gratified by the outpouring of concern for each of our various colleagues, contractors, volunteers and vendors who live in the country, and who have worked so hard on behalf of our respective organizations. We are doing our best to remain in contact with them, and to provide any assistance as needed.
This is a very troubling time, and we hope you will join us in praying for their safety and well-being.

This Week's Free JewishGen Webinar: The Czech Scroll Story: from WWII to the Diaspora
#JewishGenUpdates
Avraham Groll
The entire community is invited to join us for our next free JewishGen Talks webinar:
Topic: The Czech Scroll Story: from WWII to the Diaspora Date: This Wednesday, March 2, 2022 Time: 2:00 PM Eastern Standard Time Registration: Free with a suggested donation. Please click here to register now! A series of miracles allowed a huge hoard of Czech Torah scrolls to survive the devastation of the Shoah and stand as a testament to the communities that perished. The Memorial Scrolls Trust is committed to maintaining the legacy of these scrolls by dispersing 1400 of them around the world on permanent loan from our collection. To those who were entrusted with the scrolls, they are a symbol of hope as well as sorrow. In this presentation, Lois Roman will describe the history of the scrolls, how they were rescued, and how they serve as memorial to the vanished communities which once treasured them. |

Re: Mount Nebo Cemetery in Miami, FL - picture request

Go to the cemetery website and send them an email asking if someone there will take the photos. I have had a lot of good responses by doing that. If it doesn't work go to raogk.org (Random Acts of Genalogical Kindness). Look through the volunteer list to see if there is one. You will be able to send them a message.

News Recap from Ukraine Sunday Feb. 27th from Gesher Galicia
#galicia
#ukraine
#poland
#general
#announcements
I called Rabbi Kolesnik this morning. He does not speak English so my wife spoke with him in Hebrew. He thanked everyone here for their generosity and was thrilled to hear how successful our appeal has been and that they will get the much needed aid tomorrow.
He said that since Thursday when there was an explosion in the airport of I-F things have been quiet there. Many people have left for Poland and there are many refugees passing through trying to get into Poland. We will stay in contact with him and we will keep track of how our aid is being used. From Vasyl Yuzishin, a good friend of Gesher Galicia's: Lviv, 13:30 Lviv time [11:30 GMT, February 27] For now here in Lviv it is safe, but it's a real war and nobody knows what will happen in the next minutes, hours or days. In my life I've been in many Holocaust areas and every time I was thinking how could this happen, how could people kill another people just because they are different. I was thinking this was all in the past and will never happen again, and if someone said that it will happen in the middle of Europe in the present time I wouldn't have believed him. I think Putin is like Hitler, and the world should stop him before it's too late. From Mykhailo Zubar, Gesher Galicia's representative in Ukraine: Kyiv, 14:50 Kyiv time [12:50 GMT, February 27] Last night passed relatively calmly. Sometimes there was gunfire and shelling. It all started in the morning, there was a serious air raid, which our air defense forces overcame. Today the main battles are from the western direction - the area where we live. There were fierce battles in the suburbs until lunchtime and the Russian troops were prevented from entering, but they have a lot of forces and equipment that arrive constantly from Belarus. Apparently today they will attempt to storm the city from the western side. According to the authorities, additional support troops are already moving from western Ukraine to defend Kyiv, but the question is whether they will arrive in time. Kyiv, 21:00 Kyiv time [19:00 GMT, February 27] Apparently tonight there will be an attempt to storm Kyiv. As our mayor said, Kyiv is surrounded. Everyone is getting ready. This night and morning will be decisive! [It will be a very difficult night for us.] Steven S. Turner
President, Gesher Galicia

Identify Birthplace in Russia
#photographs
Sandy Kaplan Schepis
This is a photo of my great grandfather's death certificate. Lines 15, 17, and 19 list his birthplace as well as the birthplace of his parents. Although I have tried many spellings, I can't find a municipality in Russia or Belarus that resembles this R word. I know the family lived in Minsk between about 1850 and 1910. The photo can be viewed at:
Thank you!

There were quite a few pogroms going on in Ekaterinoslav at the time...one of the worst was on January 4 & 5 1905 which is highlighted at Ellis Island. My great grandfather was a pharmacist there and was told by the Russian general who he had become friends with to sell his store and leave because of pogroms. He left in October 1904 with his family
