JRI Poland #Poland Looking for descendants of Ruchla Wielgolowski and Nuchim Pinkus Moskowicz
#poland
Robert Tachna
A couple of years ago I was contacted by a researcher who told me that
he is a descendant of Ruchla Wielgolowski and her husband Nuchim Pinkus Moskowicz and he was wanting to know if there was a family relation of Ruchla Wielgolowski by her father Jakob Mosiek Wielgolowski to who he suspected were Jakob Mosiek Wielgolowski's parents and Ruchla's grandparent's Ruchle Tachna and Zalman Wielgolowski. I wish I still had the name of that researcher as I now know for fact that Ruchla (nee Wielgolowski) Moskowicz is a member of my Tachna Family tree and that she is the granddaughter of Zalman and Ruchle (nee Tachna) Wielgolowski. I have a copy of Ruchla Wielgolowski and Nuchim Pinchus Moskowicz's marriage record posted on the Tachna Family website at http://www.tachna.com/Records_From_Poland/1891%20Ruchla%20Wielgolowski%20&%20Nuchim%20Pinkus%20Moskowicz.html If that researcher is still out there I greatly wish to reacquire contact with him and to start sharing information and also to start solidifying our mutual family relationship. Please contact me at my personal email of rhtachna@... Thank you and hoping to hear >from you, Robert Tachna |

Ukraine SIG #Ukraine Ukraine SIG Official Speaker at IAJGS conference: Dr. Eric Goldman
#ukraine
Janette <janettes@...>
Dear Ukraine SIGgers:
I am really excited about this year's IAJGS Ukraine SIG speaker, Dr. Eric Goldman. Eric will be speaking at a lunch with the experts and have a session presentation. His session, entitled "Searching for a Usable Path: Liev Schreiber's 'Everything Is Illuminated'" will be about Liev Schreiber’s adaptation of Jonathan Safran Foer’s critically acclaimed novel is one of the most memorable films of recent time. What starts out as an expedition to piece together one family's story under the most absurd of circumstances turns into a surprisingly meaningful journey with a powerful series of revelations – the importance of remembrance, the perilous nature of secrets and the meaning of love and friendship. Foer, during a summer vacation, went to Ukraine in search of answers and found nothing. Schreiber lost a grandfather, his only link to Judaism, who left Ukraine before World War I. The writer and the filmmaker each uses his oeuvre to explore what connection “the Old Country” has to their present life. They raise age-old questions that we often ask in our ongoing search for Jewish identity and self-understanding. Eric Goldman will explore the film along with the questions of “post-memory” and the memory-site. Eric A. Goldman,adjunct professor of cinema at Yeshiva University is the founder and president of Ergo Media Inc., a New Jersey-based Jewish film distributor. Dr. Goldman is also film reviewer for Northern New Jersey's “The Jewish Standard.” Dr. Goldman is a noted film educator and scholar of Yiddish, Israeli and Jewish film. Former director of the National Jewish Media Service and curator of film for the YIVO Institute for Jewish Research, Eric was a member of the Educational Advisory Committee of the USHMM. The University of Texas Press published his new book, “The American Jewish Story through the Cinema.” I look forward to seeing you in Salt Lake City. Please keep in mind that we are dependent on contributions to provide funding to bring speakers to the conferences. Your donation can be made to the Ukraine SIG General Fund. Choose "donate" on the menu bar of the Ukraine SIG website. Specify "Ukraine SIG General Fund."

From: Mel Werbach [mailto:mel@...] Sent: Sunday, April 06, 2014 1:12 PM To: Ukraine SIG Subject: Re:[ukraine] Adoption in Czarist Russia to escape conscription - need help! My paternal great great grandfather, Chayim Mikhel, was born to Avraham and his wife in 1824 in Bazaliya, Ukraine. Three years later, military conscription for Jews was mandated, so - according to family lore - Avraham arranged for the local VERBUKH family to legally adopt Chayim Mikhel to avoid conscription. The results of recent DNA testing suggest that the Verbukhs were not close relatives. For many years, I have tried unsuccessfully to discover the correct family line for Chayim Mikhel and his parents as adoption records, as well as any earlier records, appear to have been destroyed. One family source stated that Chayim Mikhel initially had the surname of HORNSTEIN - but this is unconfirmed by any evidence. I would love to trace my direct paternal line further back, but if I can't do so, I would at least like to confirm the family story: Did the legal adoption help to protect Chayim Mikhel >from conscription? If so, does that mean he had at least one older (or younger) male sibling? Is there a reference that explains how adoption was protective? Any light that could be shed on this would be most appreciated. Mel Werbach Los Angeles |

Yizkor Book Project, March 2014
#usa
Lance Ackerfeld <lance.ackerfeld@...>
Shalom,
The Children of Israel ran out of time before their flight >from Egypt and we at the Yizkor Book Project ran out of time trying to carry out all that we planned during March. Strange comparison? True, but I did want to let you know that we haven't been idle over the last month and also wanted to bring up the subject of Pesach/Passover... So, I would like to take this opportunity to wish all of you and your families an extremely enjoyable Pesach holiday. So what did we actually do during March? I'm pleased to let you know that three new books were published during this last month through our Yizkor Books in Print (YBIP) Project: - Drahichyn, Belarus (Drohitchin Memorial (Yizkor) Book 500 years of Jewish Life) - Korczyna, Poland (Korczyna Memorial Book) - Horodenka, Ukraine (Yizkor (Memorial) Book of Horodenka, Ukraine) In addition, I have excellent news regarding the availability of new formats for existing books. Apart >from a usual hard cover format, we have now added a soft cover and e-book format for one of our existing books: - Yampol, Ukraine (Yampol Memorial Book) and details of these new formats and prices can be seen at http://www.jewishgen.org/Yizkor/ybip.html as well as information on the other books we now have available. Clearly, if these formats prove popular, we will consider preparing other books these ways. I do try, as much as possible, to regularly thank the hundreds of volunteers who help us out in various aspects of the Yizkor Book and are behind its success. We have an online list of more than 500 volunteers at: http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/ and in this minor way we have endeavored to let the world know of the important contributions of these wonderful people. You would like to contribute? My "door" is always open to anyone wishing to take some part in the YB Project. Now to facts and figures for March. During this last month we have added in 5 new projects: - Latvia (The Jews in Latvia) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/latvia1/latvia1.html - Michow, Poland (Memorial book to the martyrs of Michow who perished in the Holocaust) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Michow/Michow.html - Olkusz, Poland (Olkusz; memorial book to a community that was exterminated during the Holocaust) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Olkusz/Olkusz.html - Ostrowiec Swietokrzyski, Poland (Ostrovtse; dedicated to the memory of Ostrovtse, Apt...) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/ostrowiec1/ostrowiec1.html - Wolomin, Poland (Volomin; a memorial to the Jewish community of Volomin) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/wolomin/wolomin.html Added in a new entry: - Brok, Poland (Encyclopedia of Jewish Communities in Poland, volume IV) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/pinkas_poland/pol4_00151.html We have continued to update 23 of our existing projects: - Bilhorod-Dnistrovs'kyy (Akkerman), Ukraine (Akkerman and the Towns of its District; Memorial Book) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Akkerman/Akkerman.html - Borsa, Romania (Memorial book of Borsha, or: The beloved village by the foot of the Carpathians) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/borsa/borsa.html - Cigand, Hungary (About the Jews of Cigand) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/cigand/cigand.html - Czestochowa, Poland (Resurrection and Destruction in Ghetto Czestochowa) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Czestochowa4/Czestochowa4.html - Dzyatlava, Belarus (A memorial to the Jewish community of Zetel) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Dzyatlava/Dzyatlava.html - Goniadz, Poland (Our hometown Goniondz) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/goniadz/goniadz.html - Grajewo, Poland (Grayewo Memorial Book) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Grajewo/Grajewo.html - Indura, Belarus (Amdur, my hometown) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/indura/indura.html - Kaluszyn, Poland (The Memorial Book of Kaluszyn) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/kaluszyn/kaluszyn_fr.html [French] - Klobuck, Poland (The Book of Klobucko; in memory of a martyred community which was destroyed) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/klobuck/klobuck.html - Kremenets, Ukraine (Memorial Book of Kremenets, Vyshgorodok, and Pochayiv) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/kremenets3/kremenets3.html - Latvia (Latvian Jewry) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/latvia/latvia.html - Radom, Poland (The book of Radom; the story of a Jewish community in Poland destroyed by the Nazis) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/radom/radom.html - Sosnove (Ludvipol), Ukraine (Ludvipol (Wolyn); in memory of the Jewish community) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Ludvipol/Ludvipol.html - Stowbtsy, Belarus (Memorial volume of Steibtz-Swerznie and the neighboring villages Rubezhevitz, Derevna, Nalibok) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Stowbtsy/Stowbtsy.html - Svencionys, Lithuania (Svintzian region: memorial book of 23 communities) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/svencionys/svencionys.html - Tlumach, Ukraine (Memorial book of Tlumacz) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/tlumacz/tlumacz.html - Valkininkai, Lithuania (Olkeniki: a Town that Existed) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Valkininkai1/Valkininkai1.html - Wasilkow, Poland (The Wasilkower memorial book; memories of our town Wasilkow which has been annihilated by the Nazis) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Wasilkow/Wasilkow.html - Wojslawice, Poland (Yizkor book in memory of Voislavize) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Wojslawice/Wojslawice.html - Zawiercie, Poland (Yizkor Book of the Holy Community of Zawiercie and Environs) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/zawiercie/zawiercie.html - Zofyuvka, Ukraine (The tree and the roots; the history of T.L (Sofyovka and Ignatovka)) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Zofyuvka/Zofyuvka.html - Zolochiv, Ukraine (The Destruction of Zloczow) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Zolochiv/Zolochiv.html Some important links to note: - This month's additions and updates are flagged at http://www.jewishgen.org/Yizkor/translations.html to make it easy to find them. - All you would like to know about the Yizkor Books in Print Project http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/ybip.html - Yizkor Book Translation Funds http://www.jewishgen.org/JewishGen-erosity/v_projectslist.asp?project_cat=23 where your financial support will assist in seeing more translations go online.
