I'd suggest just googling "Geneaologists in Germany" if you can't get a personal recommendation. I have several friends in Germany who are big into geneaology and will ask them if they know of anyone.

I would add the federal and new york censuses to your research strategy. She may have lived near the Halpern/Hartenstein family somewhere in NY.

My uncle out of the blue mentioned a couple's name that I never heard about.
Anyone have information on Gertrude nee Levine and Hyman Atotsky's life? They are from Jerusalem and lived in Bayit Vegan. They had no children of their own.
Gertrude came from a large family with number of siblings. Ancestry, My Heritage and Geni.com have plenty of info on her family's side.
I am ONLY interested in Hyman's family as trying to figure out how he is related to us through the Greenberg Family side. Couldn't find anything.
Both are buried in Jerusalem.
Hyman Atotsky - August 1987
Gertrude Eleanor nee Levine Atotsky - April 18, 2006
Thank you in advance.

New Zealand Wilson Collection of Family History Records

Jan Meisels Allen
I tried the index with the names COHEN and GOLDBERG and received hundreds of hits. The results do NOT have the actual record but it shows where the data source is and the year, so it aides in your research-but you will then have to look at the records by searching the source.
For example for Alice COHEN year 1960 it showed her age in 1960—65 years old, Location is the name of the Cemetery and the record number and origin- in this case NZSG (New Zealand Society of Genealogists) Cemetery Fiche. To search the index go to: https://www.wilsoncollection.co.nz/#search-our-index

Seeking Descendants of Doris Levine born 14 July 1928 in New York
#usa
We are seeking info on Doris Levine born in New York on 14 July 1928 or her descendants. Doris' parents Zendel and Elke Lejfer and grandmother Frejda Lejfer arrived in New York on the SS Zeeland in January 1921 originally from Wysoko, Grodniensk. They were joining husband/father Szewl Lejfer Lewin in New York. Zendel Lejfer changed his name to Sam Levine and moved from New York to Chicago some time after Doris' birth. If you have info on this family I would appreciate it if you would contact me.

Re: Looking for a reference, for help in free translation, for an archival document, written in the Polish language.
#poland
Sarah L Meyer
Judith Franzin 's book A Translation Guide to 19th Century Polish -Language Civil Registration Documents, is one resource that I have used. Another is to join Facebook's Tracing the Tribe group and post your document there, and someone probably will translate it. There also is a translators group there. Regardless of how you see social media - the genealogy groups there are worth being a member - and membership is free. Other groups are Jewish Genealogy Portal and Jews from Poland.

Re: Jewish nannies from Europe
#general
sohail.husain@...
A postscript to my earlier response .... I mentioned that many thousands of those Germans and Austrians who arrived in London were 'registered' at Bloomsbury House, including a large number of young women who then went into domestic service. The files created were lost after the war, but in the late 1980s a significant number, relating to about 35,000 individuals, were fortuitously rediscovered. These are now in the custody of World Jewish Relief (HQ in London) and have been digitally scanned and indexed. Amongst them was the file on my mother, Karola Grünebaum (DOB 12 May 1921, Offenbach), It is extremely interesting and revealing, not only including papers related to her arrival in 1939, but also to what happened to her in subsequent years up until 1943. WJR is keen to link the files with the descendants of the people who are documented, so it is well worth getting in touch to find out if your relative's file is one of those that has been found.

Re: Translation needed from Romanian

Hi Deborah,
The testimony is not about Kopai Gorod but of the sufferings of the Jews deported to Transnistria. Kopai Gorod is mentioned in a short paragraph: " Also in Moghilev we were put in houses destroyed by bombardments, After a short while, the gendarms (Romanian police forces, my note) took us to Kopai Gorod, Romanka. There, we were put in a big stable. After a short while, the typhus caused ravages. The dead corpses remained for days among the living people, there was no one to bury them. About 300-400 people in this stable died. From there we were taken to...." Valentin Lupu ISRAEL
