Dear Logan,
Are you volunteering? As it happens, someone else has volunteered to make a quick index of the surname lists on Reel 2--and may actually be on the job even now. Dear everyone else: There have been many suggestions regarding indexing and other projects in this group. I hope to be able to make some announcements and ask some general questions of GerSIGgers within the next month or so. Thanks for your patience, Roger Lustig Princeton, NJ USA Research coordinator, GerSIG

Judenlandtage Billigheim, Neudenau, Klein Wallstadt

Logan J. Kleinwaks
I stumbled upon Judenlandtage lists >from Billigheim, Neudenau, and
Klein Wallstadt for 1784, 1789, and 1793 in the Leo Baeck Institute's Berthold Rosenthal Collection: Billigheim http://www.archive.org/stream/lbi_brc_mf484_reel04#page/n374/mode/1up Neudenau http://www.archive.org/stream/lbi_brc_mf484_reel04#page/n376/mode/1up Klein Wallstadt http://www.archive.org/stream/lbi_brc_mf484_reel04#page/n378/mode/1up Amazingly, the Billigheim list includes detailed notes about three out-of-town marriages, two involving relatives of mine and correlating with tax lists and name adoption lists >from the towns where the marriages occurred, also in this collection. It's unclear to me why the marriages were included, or how common this is. One of the grooms was >from Billigheim, as were the brides of the other two marriages. Their fathers are all included in the list as attending the Judenlandtage. These lists do not seem to be identified in the finding aid for the collection. Perhaps, a town index linked to images of all the tax lists, name adoption lists, etc. in the collection would be very helpful. Logan Kleinwaks kleinwaks@... near Washington, D.C.

Announcing the Obermayer German Jewish History Awards for 2014
#germany
Arthur Obermayer <obermayer@...>
The German Jewish Community History Council, GerSIG and the Berlin
Parliament are pleased to announce their Call for Nominations for the annual Obermayer German Jewish History Awards to be given to non-Jewish Germans who have made extraordinary contributions to preserving vestiges of former Jewish life in their local communities, including historical records, cultural material, cemeteries and synagogues. The *** call for nominations *** can be obtained at: http://www.obermayer.us/award/nominate.htm and the deadline for submission is September 23, 2013. Thousands of Germans have carried out such activities as volunteers because they feel it is the right thing to do. The preservation of Jewish material is one of the few ways in which they can respond constructively to their country's horrible past. This award provides Jews throughout the world with the opportunity to recognize and honor German individuals who, in many cases, have devoted their lifetimes to such important endeavors. As Jewish genealogists, we have been the recipients of their good work. Many of you previously submitted worthy nominations. Those nominees who have already received Certificates of Commendation are prime candidates for this year's awards. They will only require updating of the prior submissions. This will be the 14th year for such awards, which will be given January 2014 in Berlin. Each awardee and his/her spouse will be invited on an all expenses paid trip to Berlin to receive the award at the elegant Plenary Chamber of the Abgeordnetenhaus, the home of the Berlin Parliament. Successful nominators are also invited to attend all of the award ceremony events in Berlin, where they will meet with the award recipients they have chosen to honor. The honorees will receive a framed certificate and an honorarium to be used for the furtherance of their work. Awardees' contributions will be described to attendees and to the local, national and international news media. These awards have in the past received extensive worldwide media coverage. See: http://www.obermayer.us/award/news.htm If you know someone who may be appropriate for nomination, further information -- including the Call for Nominations and profiles of previous award winners and the jury -- can be obtained at: http://www.obermayer.us/award You may obtain a hard copy of the Call for Nominations by sending an email to: germanaward@... or a letter to the: German Jewish Community History Council 239 Chestnut Street West Newton, MA 02465 USA Remember that the deadline for submission of nominations is September 23, 2013.

Good Evening,
I have an ancestor >from Krylow, Poland named Nusym Kiper. There are two different records for a Nusym (Nuchym) Kiper who died in Krylow. Here they are: http://www.jewishgen.org/viewmate/viewmateview.asp?key=VM26106 http://www.jewishgen.org/viewmate/viewmateview.asp?key=VM26107 If you could help me figure out his age, I could probably determine which of these relates to my ancestor. Of course, knowing his wife, children, or parents names would also be helpful. I believe his occupation related to the local shul in Krylow (synagogue servant). Thank you for your help. Sincerely, Aaron Biterman Washington DC MODERATOR'S NOTE: Please respond privately or on the ViewMate form.
