A poem in the form AABBCCDD...

H(ere) L(ies)
An upright man, who walked righteously
He feared God all his days
He studied God's Torah at all times
And kept His commandments with his whole heart
His soul will rest with the Eternal One forever
He will rest and rise to receive his reward at the end of days
Mr Meir Josef son of Mr. Nehemiah the Levite SEGAL
Died six days in the m(onth of) Adar
In the year 675 by the short count (ie, 5675 = 1915)
May his soul be bound in the bonds of (everlasting) life (a boilerplate abbrev.)

I've posted a vital record in Russian for which I need a translation.

It is a death record from Pulawy from 1881. I don't require a full translation, just interested in any names or places mentioned.

It is located at ViewMate at https://www.jewishgen.org/viewmate/viewmateview.asp?key=VM72773

Many thanks,

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

They're from the "civil" records from Kolo, both dated 1822. They're somewhat messy, and appear to not be fully following the Napoleonic format; my apologies in advance!

They're on ViewMate at:

https://www.jewishgen.org/viewmate/viewmateview.asp?key=VM94223

Please respond via the forms provided on the ViewMate image pages.

Thank you very much.

You might try resources that trace graves, such as Dead Fred or Find-a-Grave.  Newspapers.com may also have mention of her.  It's amazing what a friend found for me there.  Social Security started in the 1930s so assuming she lived past that time, she may also be listed in the death indexes.

Nikki, I suggest that you take the photograph you have and the information of his name, along with his parents/grandparents and post it on several Facebook groups. 

One FB group is specifically related to this area of Poland (my family is from Bedzin, so I belong). Bedzin-Sosnowiec-Zawiercie Area Research Society. I would also try the Zaglembie Group (https://www.facebook.com/groups/1693425847564450). It has many international members so if Abram went to Israel, ultimately, he might be known by that group. Others worth trying, though the focus is broader, the audience is larger and you never know: Jewish Genealogy Portal; Jewish Ancestry in Poland; Children of Holocaust Survivors.

Good luck to you!

I am seeking information on grandparents who married in Berlin in 1926 and fled to USA in 1934 with their children Rudi and Moritz. Grandfather Hirsch Kornianski was born in Suprasl Poland in 1896, grandmother Henni nee Weiberg was born in Ciechanoweic Poland in 1902. Receipt of any pertinent information would be appreciated.

A considerable amount of research into the lives of Jewish women who came to the UK to work as 'domestic servants' has been carried out by Prof Tony Kushner (The Parkes Institute for the study of Jewish/non-Jewish relations, University of Southampton) and Dr Jennifer Craig-Norton. Both have several relevant publications which you can search for online. Several articles have also been written on Bloomsbury House (London), which for many of these young women was the place where they were 'registered' and, if they did not already have a job offer, were allocated to a specific employment. My mother arrived in London in August 1939 and went to work as a nanny in Buckinghamshire. In my research into her life I have met with both authors, who were extremely helpful, and their writings provide a deep insight - often quite shocking - to the experiences of the refugees.

My name is Julio C. Herrera. I was recently approved for Spanish nationality due to Sephardic-Jewish ancestry (I am a Venezuelan residing in Ecuador). I did all the processing myself so I'm pretty familiar with the procedure. Obviously, I know that the Spanish route to obtaining the European Union passport has already been closed, but the Portuguese route is still open. The fact is that I am evaluating the possibility of offering my advisory services to those interested in Portuguese nationality of Sephardic lineage. Although I'm not a lawyer (I'm an economist), for this I have the experience of my Spanish processing and some relatives. In addition to having worked in the Venezuelan diplomatic service for 17 years (so I know the subject of nationalities very well), I am fluent in Portuguese and am well informed about Portuguese procedure. That said, PLEASE, could someone please tell me if knows of any recognized genealogist I can work with? In this regard, remember that most reports would be from Venezuelans, Ecuadorians and other Latin American countries. The aim is to investigate and locate the applicants' Sephardic ancestors so that they can later obtain the Sephardic certificate in the Israeli Community of Lisbon and finally the Portuguese nationality.

Hello,
I found in JewishGen a short description of my grandfather's brother, Leib Horn.
Unfortunately it is written in Polish and I do not understand it.
Attached please find the text, and I will be very happy and thankful
to whom who will translate it for me to English or Hebrew.

thanks in advanced,
Shimi Karni
