I would appreciate any help in locating information/contact for David and Michael Treff-Tour. They live or lived in Israel and are descendants (sons?) of Josef Treff-Tour (b 1926 Berlin - d 1987 Israel).  Josef was a son of Isidore Treff and Lea Leonore Treff, husband of Hana Tour and formerly of Aviva Treff-Tour, brother of Hanna Palenker and Dora Treff.

My haplogroup is a subgroup of A -- nothing to do with any usual Ashkenazi haplogroup but 90% of the living people who have it are Ashkenazi. It comes originally from East Asia.  My 3rd great grandparents were Ahron and Dvora Radicziner of Hertnik. They were listed on census reports. There is no doubt they lived there and that they were Jewish. Haplogroup A does not exist among non-Jeiwsh Hungarians or Slovaks.

Beth Moses Cemetery is in Suffolk County, Long Island, not in the
Bronx. See bethmosescemetery.com . In fact, the Bronx is the one New
York City borough that has no Jewish cemetery.

Check out the Bardejov Jewish Preservation Committee. https://bardejov.org/who-we-are-and-our-mission/

They are restoring many of the Jewish sites in Bardejov. I have Lorber ancestors who lived in Bardejov in the 1870's.

when looking at Hanau Schwab records, make sure to include in possible matches variations of Fanny, like
Frommet, Fradele, Feile, Veile, Veronica, Feigle, Feigele, Voegele, Vogel and so on. 
Names were used in large variations at this time - without considering them as different names.

good luck,

Hello Jonathan:

I have used MacFamilyTree for several years and recommend it. We all have our way of doing research, and this is what works for me. I I do most of my research on Ancestry, but use other sites as well. I manage several trees and build them on Ancestry. Then I create a GEDCOM file and import each tree into MacFamilyTree. The latter has many more options, than Ancestry, for presenting, organizing, displaying, printing, and publishing trees. For printing the tree, I created a high resolution file on MacFamilyTree, and downloaded the file to a flash drive. Then I went to Staples with the flash drive, and had them print a large size of the tree on card stock. The person I worked with attached the sheet to foam board, and sealed a protective plastic layer on top--all for about $30.00. I attached the finished product to the wall using 3M Command Strips. It looks great, and the cost was so much less than going to a frame store for mounting, matting, and framing with glass and wood. Two other things to know about MacFamilyTree: it's integrated with FamilySearch, so you can do research in the app, and the app offers free hosting of a family tree Web site. I don't use FB, so I can't comment on the user group.

Good luck.

My great uncle (from Janow) changed his surname from Wang to Warren when he was naturalized in 1916 (last page of naturalization record). The children of my great grandparents came to EllisIsland under their mother’s maiden name, Singer, but became Kanarek (their father’s surname) in the US census. In Galicia, their parents had a religious marriage, but not a civil marriage. My mother’s father, grandfather and uncles changed their surname from Siduche/Seduch at Ellis Island to Sader. Some people changed their surnames at local courts.

In the Litvak SIG database, the 1829 Panemune Frentzela death record for my 3rd great grandfather Abram Werebey lists his wife, my 3rd great grandmother, as Chiena. 

What can you tell me about this name? Is it meant to be pronounced with a Hebrew/Yiddish Chet sound like a Chaya, Chava,  and Chana? Or is it a tsch should like Charna? Is it related to one of those names? Is it a mistake and really should have been one of those names?

Thanks in advance for your ideas.

Is anyone planning to be near or at Beth Moses Cemetery in the Bronx, NY anytime soon?

I need photos taken of a couple of gravestones.  

Thanks,

I think you need to look at the name Grossman. It does not seem very Lomza like, more an anglicised name, although as this area was on the borders with East Prussia, there were many German names . Also it is helpful to look at patronyms, as a number of my families reverted to their family patronyms on emigrating to the UK from the Suwalki Lomza areas during 1865-1875 e.g. Ceglarski became Abrahams, some of my Serwianskis/Servians (who went to USA) became Max or Marks.  As some Polish names were difficult, they were often simplified to something more understandable.

Until 1835 the Jews of Memmelsdorf buried their dead in the old Jewish cemetery near Ebern. This is where I found the headstone for Wolf Schmay Nordheimer's first wife. The epitaph is badly worn but readable:

Here lies Hinda, daughter of Reb Shmuel (Samuel) Nachum
Passed away 12 Sivan (5)709

I would check Ancestry's California Passenger Lists. My son-in-law's g-g-grandparents had been living in Japan before emigrating to the U.S. in 1906. I found the record of their voyage from Yokohama to San Francisco among those lists, as well as the record of his g-g-grandfather's initial 1902 exploratory voyage, which departed from Hong Kong for San Francisco.
