Dear Geners

I share with you 2 articles that I recently wrote. I hope they will
give encouragement and inspiration on how our research can lead to
much more than merely discovering names and dates of our ancestors.

The first was published and posted by the Israel Genealogy Research
Association (IGRA), entitled, Discovering our Past: The Good, the Bad
and the Sweet.

The second was just printed in the Queens Jewish Link (a local free
newspaper), entitled "Treasures in the Attic".

I have begun preparing a list of records that I plan to order >from the
AGAD archives.

If you wish to join this order please contact me, after making sure that
the records you want appear in JRI-Poland in the AGAD archives, fond 300.
(Search http://www.jewishgen.org/jri-pl/jriplweb.htm - if your record is not
there and in fond 300, it is not part of this project.)

This order will probably go out 8 April.

Hello,

I am new to the list and am hoping someone might have a bit of information
to help me with my puzzle.

My Jacobson great-great grandparents were Rachel Freidman (Freedman,
Freydman) and Samson JACOBSON. I have one document listing them has having
been born in Poland (I have no idea where) but I know they lived in
Jaunjelgava (Friedrichstadt) as most of their family was born there.

On the other side, my great-great grandparents were Nissan Wulfov and Malka
Abramovna GRUZIN. I have no maiden name for Malka but I am pretty sure she
was born in Glazmanka (Gostini). Nissan's parents were Wulf Leibov Gruzin
and Basya (Gruzinwife) and they were both born in Kreitzburg (Krus).

Can any one help shed some light?

Thank you very much,

I'm looking for a contextual translation of two words. In Monastir (now
Bitola, Macedonia), there were two families with the surname, Camhi.
They differentiated themselves by the appellate, "Los Barros" and "Los
Patas". Online translators have translated these two words to mean "The
Muds" and "The Legs" and that sounds odd to me. I'm wondering, since
these were Ladino speaking families, if their might be a different
meaning for the terms.

If you are interested, I posted some information about the family back
in 2000:

Thank you for any suggestions you may have.

Rav DovBer SOLOVEITCHIK of Spring Valley, and now, I believe, a Rosh
Yeshiva in Jerusalem, is the son of which of the three brothers
(Moshe, Velvel and Yisrael Gershon, sons of Reb Chayim).
Any other information welcome especially names of children, spouses, etc.
Thanks
