We'll have 2 great speakers: The first is David Kleiman, the curator of the Loeb Visitors Center at Touro Synagogue. He will speak on Hidden Families and Secrets in Malcolm Stern's "First American Jewish Families" You will discover the inside scoop on Rabbi Stern's classic work on early American genealogy. He'll talk about all three ground breaking editions, tracking back Rabbi Stern's original sources, corrections and updates, and connections to other classic works such as "Our Crowd". You will learn how to best use the charts for your own research even if your family arrived in North America after 1830. Next, Gladys Friedman Paulin will tell us the exciting adventures of Eugenia Levy Phillips, one of the most notorious female rebels during the Civil War. She was arrested in both Washington, DC, and New Orleans. Many of her family were active in the war. They were well connected socially, politically, and militarily. . Hear about her exploits and those of the rest of the family during the war and what happened when the South was defeated. You'll come away with a new understanding of how Jews could be on both sides of the conflict. These are "not to missed " speakers, worth getting up early for.

How about customer service? What are the relative sizes of both companies' databases? Having spent a lot of money on FTDNA testing, it might be cost effective for me to spend a little on 23&M in order to be matched against its customer database, especially for autosomal testing.

If you or your friend are on Facebook you could try our Jewish East End of London Facebook group. This is a general interest group for anyone with an interest in the area, although most of our members either lived or had family that lived in the East End. Many members are researching their family history and you never know ... https://www.facebook.com/groups/159296087418648/ Best, Gloria Spielman Modiin, Israel. Whitechapel, London. Researching: Spielman, Szpilman (London\Ostrolenka), Fishman (London\Warsaw), Weinmann, Gralnick, London Adrian <adrianp7@...> According to the 1851 census Joseph ISAACS was born in Whitechapel c 1778/79. He married Leah (?) sometime before 1826 to 1833 (the various census returns differ as to when their daughter Julia was born in Aldgate). snip...........

JewishGen Discussion Group #JewishGen Brick Walls help: SWOFF from Zagare
#general
Lisa Cohn
Hi. I'm wondering if I could appeal to the collective for a little help
with finding a brick wall I'm encountering. I've made a little headway here and there in getting more information but I've been unable to track my mother's family back to the old world. I know they're >from Zagare, Lithuania. There's some confusion about the names, and I'm starting to suspect they're originally >from Poland. I'd like to be able to track them back before they came here. And I'd also like to find their immigration records, ships manifests...etc What I know: The name is Swoff now, might have been Zwoffe, or Zwab, Svav or something similar. Different members of the family had different names on different documents. Avraham Eukoseil Swoff and his wife Celia (according to her tombstone, that's Tsivia, a Polish name), and their son Barnett (Beryl on his stone). Abraham Swoff was born in July 1859. He came here in 1887. Celia was born around 1866. She came here with their 5 year old son in 1889 or 1890. (info >from census, birth dates and arrival dates mostly consistent 1889-90). Celia and Abraham were resident aliens according to all census records, never naturalized. Barnett was naturalized. According to his papers, he was born in Zagare, Russia on January 15, 1884. He immigrated >from the port of Hamburg Germany to the Port of New York on Aug 17, 1889. Name of ship: made attempt and failed. To find the immigration records, I've checked Castle Gardens, as that's before Ellis Island opened (checked EllisIsland website also, just in case). Couldn't find them, but doesn't mean they aren't there, what with the uncertain name spellings. I also tried the search interface through SteveMorse. Didn't make any headway there. A friend suggested it might be possible to check the other end for records at the Port of Hamburg Germany, but I'm not sure if that's possible or how to go about it. About origination pre-Zagare...Celia Swoff's maiden name was Weiner. One of her brothers is on the 1900 census with the Svav family as having been born in Poland. I found a WW1 draft card, that I'm not sure was him that said Bialystock as birthplace. Morris Weiner was a popular name though. Might be someone else. And her tombstone has her name as Tsvia, a Polish name. I'd like to be able to find some record of her marriage or Barnett's birth or something, but I haven't found those records digitized yet as some others on my father's side have wonderfully allowed me to get a little further back. Does anyone have any ideas about how I can get through the brick wall? Thanks, Lisa Cohn WEINER, SWOFF, COHEN >from Zagare Lithuania LITMAN, COHN >from Novoselitsa, Romania and Chernovitz BRUCHAR >from Bacau and Botosani Romania COHN >from Botosani Romania

Ukraine SIG #Ukraine citizer of Konotop
#ukraine
Herbert Lazerow
To supplement Doug Cohen's excellent response, in the Russian Empire everyone had two identifiers. Everyone was identified by class. Most Jews were townspeople, but a few were merchants and a few were peasants. So I suspect that "citizen" was not an accurate translation. The term in Russian was probably "meshchanin" which is better translated as "townsperson".
As to location, as Doug said, he was registered in Konotop. Registration was hereditary; children took their father's registration, and a wife took her husband's registration. The fact that he was registered in Konotop means that at some point, his male ancestor lived there. But it does not tell us how long ago they might have lived there.

#general
Hello, Dear JGenners,
I'd appreciate your help in tracing my family in Chicago, 1910. I've documentation for this family's arrival to the US and for its residence in Chicago in 1920, 1930. So, I'm focusing right now only on finding its members in the 1910 US Census. * * * Pearl KAUFMAN (nee GOLDSTEIN; b. 1879, Romania; d. 1947, Los Angeles, CA) was married to Ruben KAUFMAN (b. 1869, Romania; d. 1943, Los Angeles, CA). Pearl was the daughter of Ethel (nee Wolkofsky; b. 1859; d. 1939, Chicago, IL) and Sam GOLDSTEIN (b. 1859, Romania). Ethel was my great-great aunt. Pearl arrived to the US in 1904, together with her oldest daughter, Gisella (Gertrude; b. 1898, Romania; later married Harry SILVERMAN), and her mother, Ethel. In Chicago, she and Ruben had another two children: Helen (b. 1904; married Harry ABRAMS), and Maurice (b. 1911). * * * I've found Pearl and Ruben in the 1920 census, living with their 3 children and with Ethel. I've found Pearl and Ruben in the 1930 census, living with Ethel and with Morris; Pearl's two daughters lived together with their families in another apartment. I couldn't find traces for any family member in the 1910 census, so I'd appreciate any help in finding them. Yours, Arnon Hershkovitz Harrison, NY arnon.hershkovitz@...

I have located the details of Minnie Rebecca LADER and husband Abraham LADER in Melbourne of the JOWBR. Minnie Z"L was my mother's first cousin. I remember meeting her in my parent's home in South Africa when she was returning >from a visit to her sister Lily in (then) Rhodesia in the early 1950s. I would be grateful if someone in Melbourne reading this could help me connect with her children/grandchildren. Thank you Ros Romem Daughter of Ethel Abrahams Jerusalem
