I’ve been looking at the new town pages on JRI-Poland (nice interface folks!). I am aware that there are - to date - very few records from the town. At the bottom of the page there seems to be an inference that there is a project to extract civil vital records from 1908-1925, also 1828 and 1837. Are there additional records that have NOT been extracted (or is that an ongoing project in the event more are discovered?). My grandfather was born there per his US entry ship manifest (and his siblings as well, I am assuming).

Thank in advance for any insight.

We knew my great grandmother had first cousins who were killed in the
Holocaust. Except it turns out that not all of them were. Here's how
I've recently discovered living relatives in Ukraine and England,
thanks to a tip from JewishGen!

Is there a way to find all information about a complete household? jewishgen.org allows searching by names and towns. I think if someone in the family has a different surname, it's possible to miss that person in the case when that surname is not known.
I am looking for a household from NHABMinsk/2151/1/170 document (Revision List 1858 from Rogachev, Belarus).

Dear Connie

Some digitized records for Grotzingen (near present day Karlsruhe) are available here :

Records for the jewish community start in 1811.

You might be able to find traces of siblings who stayed in Grotzingen, if any.

My maternal grandfather, JACOB ROTH, gave birth to ISAAC, who married MATL SCHWARZ, and they lived in CHODOROV in the LVIV Provence. ISAAC also was in KNIKENYCHE, but I’m not sure whether he lived there or worked there as a tailor. I think they were both born in 1861. Their children were HANCHA (Anna), later ANNA LIBATER; MECHL (Max), MORRIS (I don’t know his Yiddish name), and SIMA (Sadie, Sydelle, Syd), married name Syd Winthrop. They were in Vienna during WWI and came to New York via Boston, landing on February 14, 1921. They lived first on Hester Street and then in Brooklyn. If anyone is connected to them or has any information, please email me. Thanks!

Dorann,

Try searching for obituaries in old newspapers.  Hannah's maiden name may have been mentioned.

Many are digitized and searchable.  Try this site (newspapers are arranged geographically):
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:List_of_online_newspaper_archives

Also:
https://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/

Also, check if either Hannah or Samuel left a will (probate record.)  If so, pay attention to any name mentioned in the will, you may potentially find a clue there.  I have seen wills where money was left to family back in Europe.

Look for vital records (birth, marriage, death) of Hannah's children, as her maiden name may be listed.

Good luck in your search,

Sherri Bobish

Marcia,

If either of them naturalized in 1929, or after, than a photo will be on the nat papers.  Not all nat papers are on-line, but many are, so try searching their names at:
www.familysearch.org

Good luck in your search,

Sherri Bobish

This is the first time I've posted here. Would someone be able to take a photo of my Grandfather's grave at Canton Hebrew Cemetery in Ohio?  I'd be happy to pay any expenses.

+Thank you for sharing this with us.  It touched by neshoma today even though I have known about this for many years.

I've uploaded 4 handwritten documents to ViewMate.  They are each one page.  

I believe they are  related to the Alperstein family (Rabbi Abraham Alperstein or his wife Bertha/Beila Alperstein).  I would love to get complete translations of each document.  Any help you can provide would be much appreciated.

You can view and add your translations by clicking each link.  Here is a list of the 4 documents:

1917 bill from Emanuel Gross, first paragraph in Hebrew (rest is Yiddish): https://www.jewishgen.org/ViewMate/viewmateview.asp?key=95328.

1923 note from Rabbi Glick (Palestine): https://www.jewishgen.org/ViewMate/viewmateview.asp?key=95333

1926 note from Rabbi Margolies (New York): https://www.jewishgen.org/ViewMate/viewmateview.asp?key=95332

undated note from Rabbi Margolies (New York): https://www.jewishgen.org/ViewMate/viewmateview.asp?key=95331 

Please add your suggestions by using the form under each image.  Thank you!

My family story is that my great grandfather bought papers under the name Fishel Meyer to avoid the Czarist conscription.  He came to the US in 1884.  According to family information our original family name was Perchik, and that he had two sisters (1/2) who also came to the US.  One sister has living descendants that match me on DNA as expected based on our original name being Perchik.

Hello Marcia,
I have Barnofsky/Bartnovsky on my family tree.  They came from a town called Wolkowysk.
I believe most are related.  Please feel free to contact me.

If your relative applied for U.S. citizenship, there may be a record of her application for citizenship with the federal government. Have you considered going down that avenue?

Greetings Ancient DNA Enthusiasts,

I've posted a new pre-print article in the realm of speculative genetic genealogy, this time involving the Messianic patriline of David HaMelekh: https://www.academia.edu/53234866

Please enjoy, and if you wish, discuss.

Good Afternoon Dave,

I am curious where you located an index showing a marriage between Rachel and Joseph H. Hausman.

There is only one record of a marriage for Rachel Simon in Boston in 1886.  I am attaching a copy of the record that indicates she married Charles Pizansky.  The parents names appear on the record.

There is also only one marriage record for Joseph H. Hausman in Boston in 1886.  He married Anna B. Emerson.  Both of these records are accessible for free on familysearch.org and are part of "Massachusetts Marriages, 1841-1915."

I hope that this is helpful.
