Nekhama connection with Ginesya
#general
Manuel Meersohn <manuel.meersohn@...>
Dear fellow Genners,
In my total, absolute, complete ignorance I'm seeing the same diminutives, nicknames following the names Nekhama and Ginesya, I can find under both Anna, or very similar ones as Nese, Neshe, Nessie, Nisye, Nettie, Nekhe, Nekhtse, Nekhtshe. My question is can a person formally named Nekhama have a nickname very similar or equal to Ginesya? Thanks in advanced and ever so grateful for your kind help. I'm trying to identify one person in my family named Nekhama with the same person but known by its nickname Ginesya. All the best to each and everyone of you.

Family Records on Stuttgart Hauptarchiv website [User comments]
#germany
Eva Lawrence
Further to Ellen Kahn's post on Familienbuecher, (these are bound family
record books which hold the same information as the Familienregister, slightly expanded. I have concurrent examples of both for my family). Using Richard Oppenheimer's very helpful instructions for actually accessing many records online >from the Stuttgart Archives (Hauptarchiv) website, I actually printed out Richard's item for easy reference. I then followed the (numerous) steps through and found I had arrived at a lists of town names, that referred to Microfilms, each holding a partial set of records (for a given time-frame) for a particular Jewish community in named localities in Wuerttemberg. The small print under the bold title gave details of the content of each microfilm. The images I accessed, by clicking on the bottom-right rubric for each film listing, ( 'ansehen' is the operative word) proved in many cases to be sets of these Familienregistern, in PDF. The images could be scrolled through, rotated and zoomed on. I found it easiest to make page-grabs for the particular ones I wanted to keep. Often the images didn't seem to be in any useful order - you had to browse. There was also a marriage register, for one place I looked at. The originals of the images were usually hand-written entries on preprinted forms, often with entries of Jewish names in Hebrew characters in addition. Eva Lawrence, St Albans, UK. eva.lawrence@...

Hi Hanna,
Since Samuel SHEINMAN was born 1915 (assuming in Massachusetts) you may want to search MA marriage indices through 1915 at: https://familysearch.org/search/collection/1469062 You can even search by first name only in case the surname was mispelled. According to: http://www.sec.state.ma.us/arc/arcgen/genidx.htm a birth record >from 1915 should be available to you. Samuel's 1915 birth record may contain helpful info. I know that in NYC the birth certs asked for place of birth of both parents, not sure about MA. You sais that you can't find them on the census. Getting an address >from a vital record can lead you to the census page. www.stevemorse.org has tools to locate a census page >from an address. Have you looked for the family in old city directories? Some old city directories for MA can be found at: http://www.donslist.net/PGHLookups/DirM.htm Also, some old city directories can be found on Google Books. A MA library with a genealogy room may have old city directories on microfilm. Regards, Sherri Bobish Princeton, NJ

I suggest starting by tracing the family back generation by generation. Census and other very helpful databases can be searched at www.familysearch.org U.S. vital records can be a source of finding parents names and females maiden names. Since they lived in Newark you may want to search the Jewish Chronicle.

Searching BERNSTEIN/JACOBS/BARNETT - 1860-1880 in England
#general
Michael Hafken <mhafken@...>
I am hoping someone out there may have some information in their family
tree about my Great-great-great Grandparents who were in London in the 1860s and then seem to disappear >from online records that I've exhaustively searched. Specifically, the two people in question are Moritz BERNSTEIN (year of birth unknown) and Annie BERNSTEIN (born about 1845 in Poland/Germany and formerly JACOBS/BARNETT/BERNARD). No family history/information was passed down about these relatives at all and the only hard evidence we've found is: -1861 England Census - Annie was still living with her parents and sister in Whitechapel/Spitalfields, England working as a Tailoress likely for her father Barnett JACOBS who was a Government Tailor according to the Census. -Birth (GRO) Record >from 1863 for my Great great Grandmother Eva Eddy BERNSTEIN who later went by Eva Ada - Parents listed as Annie BARNSTIN (formerly JACOBS) and Moritz BARNSTIN (Tailor's Foreman) living at 10 Seymour Crescent, Euston Square in Pancras. -Birth GRO Record >from 1865 for Adolph BERNSTEIN (who became Charles S. BERNSTEIN of New Haven, CT) - Parents listed as Annie BERNSTEIN (formerly BERNARD) and Moritz BARNSTIN (Tailor/Cutter) living at 11 Clarendon Street, in Camberwell. -1932 Death certificate for my Great-great grand uncle Charles BERNSTEIN that lists parents as Moritz BERNSTEIN and Annie BERNSTEIN according to the informant, Charles's son Emanuel BERNSTEIN. Sadly, I have been able to find **no** other information after scouring Ancestry.com, Familysearch, newspapers, etc. I've found no marriage record for Moritz and Annie in the GRO (although her sister Rosa was married in the Great Synagogue in 1861) however they likely got married between 1861 and 1863. I've also found no death records for either of them in the GRO. I've also searched the 1861 census for Moritz using a variety of spellings and the 1871 census for Moritz, Annie, and their children. Moritz and Annie's children each next show up in different places: -In January 1871, 5 year-old Eva Eddy (listed as Ada BARNETT) sailed to New York with her Grandmother Leah BARNETT (JACOBS in 1861) and in the 1880 census, was living with her Grandparents Jacob and Leah BARNETT (JACOBS in the 1861 England census) in New York. -Charles BERNSTEIN (formerly Adolph) next appears in New Haven, CT in 1884 working in a butcher shop. I have not found a record of him in the 1871 England census, the 1880 US Census or in ship crossing records. Eva Ada named her 2nd born daughter after her mother Annie in 1887 which tells me Annie was dead by then. Our guess is that they possibly went back to Poland/Prussia/Germany (possibly Gdansk) and died but we have no idea. They could have also died in the 1866 cholera epidemic in London but again, I've found no death records for them. Does anyone out there know of this Moritz BERNSTEIN or Annie BERNSTEIN/JACOBS/BARNETT/BERNARD? Any suggestions are welcome. Thanks for reading, Michael Hafken Bellevue, WA

Surviving Twin searches for twin brother with Auschwitz tattoo A7734
#hungary
ethnoca@...
This notice was posted in the Rom-Sig newsletter earlier this year and I just realised that it never appeared in the Hungarian one, in spite of the fact that the missing brother's original given name was Jeno, which indicates a Hungarian background. To remedy the situation, I decided to present it to you in the hopes that for someone here it may ignite a spark of recognition, who then may make a connection. Although the contact information is missing, if anyone has any information, I am sure we can somehow forward it to Ms Kimron.
Sarah Feuerstein, Toronto, Canada PS Does anyone know if there is a way to acquire adoption information in the US >from more than 60 years ago? --------------------------------------------- Holocaust survivor, Menachem BODNER, was just four years old when he was liberated in 1945 >from Auschwitz concentration camp. Now 72, retired, and living in Israel, Menachem is on a quest to locate his identical twin brother, last seen at Auschwitz, when the two were separated just 2 days before liberation. In May 1944, Menachem and his identical twin brother were transported to Auschwitz, two months prior to their 4th birthday. Being identical twins, they were selected and became objects of criminal medical experiments. Luckily, both survived the war, however, became separated. One twin was adopted and given a new name, Menachem BODNER. The other twin was adopted and taken to the USA. Maybe he too changed his name, maybe even changed his religion---but the only definite link between them is the number tattooed on their arm. For the next 67 years, Menachem had no knowledge about his family or twin brother---knowing only his own Auschwitz tattoo on his arm, which was A7733. Red Cross records that were located, show Menachem's brother was alive two weeks after Auschwitz was liberated, giving him hope that he was still alive and out there to be found and reunited with him. Also, >from the Red Cross list, Menachem learned his real name was: GOTTESMAN, Elias. from the Red Cross records:A-7733 GOTTESMAN, Elias A-7734 GOTTESMAN, Jeno Jeno, with the number A7734 tattooed on his arm, may be your neighbor, a friend, or even a relative.
