I wish to thank all those terrific researchers who have been so
actively helping me search for information on my father's first
cousin-Moyzek BOGU(S)LAWSKI. (Sept. 2).

Your many suggestions and ideas gave me new avenues of research for
following up. In the end, it was really Benoit Perrot, the kind
gentleman >from France who took the original pictures of the Arthonnay
Memorial who went out of his way to actually capture the picture of
Moyzek's final burial marker at Necropolis The National Farm Suippes'
major war cemetery in France.

In addition, he sent me a detailed "play by play" of Bataille
d'Arthonnay, additional articles on the event June 16/17, 1940 and
connected me to the son of another soldier who fought and died in the
same event.

According to local Arthonnay authorities, the bodies were removed from
the trenches in 1947 (courtesy of Eva Line Blum), and of course,
Moyzek was marked on a cross in a "common burial" location at Suippes.
I am presently inquiring whether these are actual burial location or
just markers.

Thanks again for all your assistance. If anyone out there requires any
additional information please contact me and I would be happy to
share information.

I've posted two records, in Polish, for which I need loose translations.

1866 record for Lajzer Sochaczewski.
If possible please provide a more complete date, and his age.
I believe the names of his parents and the city of Lodz is also included.

It is on ViewMate at the following address:
http://www.jewishgen.org/viewmate/viewmateview.asp?key=VM28984

1848 record for Tauba Bayla Sochacaczewski
Parents may be Wolek & Gitla; the city was Aleksandrów. Please provide
whatever you are able; this is a poor copy of the record.

Sarah ZOLKEWITZ would be my great aunt by marriage. At the time
of her marriage, her name was Bedno. It is possible she was born
Bednovitch, probably in Zambrow. She had a sister Ann (Chana)
who was my grandmother. She had three brothers Jake (Jacob),
Julius, and Morris. All three brothers are buried in Waldheim
Cemetery in Chicago. Their father's name was Hersh Tzi (or Tzi
Hersh, depending onwhich tombstone you look at!). I have very
little information on this branchof my family. I do have photos
including a picture and note in Yiddish >from a Benjamin Bednovitch
send >from Poland to "Srul" in the early 1900s. I would be happy to
send you the photo, the back and the translation and my bar mitzvah
pictures of the Bedno "boys" if you have any connection to this
family that you can share with me. Please reply privately to the

Hello all. I have been searching for the manifests of the immigrant
members of the FELIXSON family of Cleveland, Ohio in hopes that they
might be related to me, but have not been having any luck. Perhaps
another set of eyes will see what I have missed. My information is
based on the naturalization papers of the father Max and eldest son
Lewis. The father Max FELIXSON was born in Borisov, Russia on
8/15/1871. His last foreign residence was London and he emigrated

from Liverpool, via Canada, on 1/10/1900, arriving in New York on

1/28/1900. The ship name is marked as "unknown". I could only find
one vessel out of Liverpool arriving at the end of January 1900, the
Teutonic, but Max does not appear to be on board. Max is in New York
City, with family, on the 1905 census, and shows up in Cleveland on
the 1910 census.

Max's eldest son, Lewis FELIXSON, was born 7/25/1897 in Suwalki,
Poland. His last foreign residence was Poland and he emigrated >from
Rotterdam on 5/15/1901 on the ship Rotterdam, arriving in New York on
5/30/1901. There is a record for the Rotterdam arriving in New York
on 5/13/1901 but I could not identify Lewis amongst the passengers.
The Rotterdam does not return to New York until 6/16/1901 so the date
of 5/30/1901 is a little perplexing. I believe it is likely he
traveled with his mother and younger sister, who also arrive in either
1901 or 1902. His mother Anna PEARSTEIN was born 7/10/1876 in Suwalki
and his sister Esther on 8/1/1899 also in Suwalki (an Ohio death record
for Esther puts her birth at 7/25/1895). Assuming that Lewis did travel
with his mother and sister, I next looked for a family consisting of a
mother aged about 25 and a son and daughter aged about 4 and 2. There
seems to be no such family onboard the Rotterdam. I also searched for a
similar family amongst all of the immigrants >from Suwalki for the year
1901 and could not find a match.

If anyone has the time to look into this I would appreciate your input.

Hi Genners

After many years of searching I finally found what I believe to be the
death certificate of my GGGF Raphael SEIDER.

He was born in Kursenai, Lithuania in approximately 1841
He lived in Manchester, UK between the early 1890s and early 1900s
(appearing in the 1901 census and 1903 City Directory
He had two sons who lived in East London and a daughter who lived in
Dublin.
He had another daughter who lived in Manchester and Liverpool
He had a nephew who lived in Dublin at that time with his wife and
several children named Bernard.

The death certificate I have found is >from Dublin and he died on 28th
June 1905.

The only inconsistency is that the death cert says that the deceased
was a bachelor when I know that my ancestor was married, but the name,
age - expected year of death based on the date and name of his
grandson - and profession all match with what I know about him.

I would very much like to find out where he was buried or if there
were any announcements of his death in the Dublin, Liverpool, London
or Manchester Jewish press. If anyone can point me in the direction of
where I might find this information it would be much appreciated.

Thanks as always and Shana Tova
