Question about ZATULOVSKY Family Photo from Ukraine circa 1909
#ukraine
Felissa Lashley
This family photo is of Aron ZATULOVSKY and Malka DROBITSKY and their three children, the youngest born in 1909. What is a puzzle is the oldest female standing and holding a baby. She is not a known member of the family.
I am hoping someone might have an insight on who she might be. It has been suggested that she might be a nanny but would a nanny be in a formal family photo? She also appears in a large wedding photo taken a little later. Again, would a nanny be in such a photo? Also of interest is her very short hair. Style, typhus or another disease? It is also short in the later wedding photo.
I welcome any observations or insights please. Thank you.

Jan Meisels Allen
The National Archives has made several data sets relating to World War II available as open data. Go to: https://www.nationaalarchief.nl/over-het-na/datalab-nationaal-archief/open-data-sets
The open datasets for the archive inventories can be downloaded, via the link to the archive inventory, as PDF and XML. For the indexes, the open datasets can be downloaded, via the link to the index, as a zip file containing a csv and xml file. The text on the relevant web pages can also be used as open data.
Although these are open datasets, they may contain personal data of living persons. In chapter 5 of the privacy regulations of the National Archives you can read whether and how you may continue to use this data. https://www.nationaalarchief.nl/privacyreglement-nationaal-archief
The open datasets currently made available by the National Archives largely consist of archive inventories and indexes. An archive inventory always consists of a description of the archive and a description of the archive components. An index is a list with data about, for example, people, place names or keywords from the archive components.
More than 400,000 open data photos from the National Archives are available through Wikimedia Commons. About 9000 photos have 'World War II' in the description.

Church of England Set to apologize for Medieval Expulsion of Jews in 1290
#unitedkingdom
Jan Meisels Allen
The seat of the Church of England in London. (Wikimedia Commons)
The Church of England is set to apologize for the medieval expulsion of Jews directly in an act of repentance. Among the antisemitic acts being apologized for include forcing Jews to wear a “badge of shame”, and the Church’s role in first nation-wide expulsion of Jews in 1290. They were not officially readmitted until 1656.
The move comes as the 800th anniversary of the 1222 Oxford Synod approaches next year, which introduced notorious antisemitic laws, including forcing Jews to wear clothing to distinguish them from Christians.

I too, have searched for many years for an English index for the Ottoman census records. My grandfather Dov Ber Goldstein was born in Jerusalem (probably) in 1883 and his parents Moshe Goldstein and Rachel (born Heinhart) seem to have come from Odessa or that area.

Re: Etymology of the Rudman surname
#names
Erica Fox Zabusky
I'm glad I caught this thread. I have Rudman ancestors from Zaslav/Izaslav, my great-aunt Vera was a redhead, don't have any photos of the Rudman scion, however. My mother's cousin, Viktor Rudman, who emigrated to Israel, provided me with a family tree that goes back to late 1800s/early 1900s, and I can check for Zalman and Aron Lieb. I have some relatives in my tree on geni.com, but am trying to figure out how to move to ancestry.com, as I recently ordered a DNA test. I look forward to connecting.

Hi
I am new to Jewish genealogy and I have just started attempting to trace the family tree I am working on to its roots in Russia / Poland. I have found reference in the USA based records to them having emigrated from Jalowka, Yalofka (which I understand is a different spelling for Jalowka) and Sloyky Grodno (I expect this is a misspelling).
I need some guidance on the following please:
(1) What place is Sloyky likely to be? This spelling was was noted on a WWI draft registration. I cannot find a matching place name. From the census records I know the person could not read or write and the form was completed by someone else. So this is a likely a misspelling.
(2) I understand Residents Books are an excellent source of information. I am however struggling to find a place that explains what Residents Books are available to us for research, where they are located, if they have been translated, how to access them, the costs of accessing them etc. Is there an article or page on JewishGen or elsewhere that provides this information?
(3) Currently I would like to look at the Residents book for Jalowka and for the place “Sloyky” (when I have the correct name). Please can you advise how / where I can access these, if they have been translated and the cost of accessing them.
I am researching principally the surname NOVICK. The family emigrated from Russia to USA, where they mostly resided in Massachusetts.
Any tips and advice are very much welcomed.

Awesome Properties
Hi,
Found my ggrandfather's camp prisoner number 11060 between old records. We have very little info on him so far . We do know he survived the camps , lived to be liberated but sadly ,died on his way home. People that knew him met him along the way and saw he was very sick. Can I trace him using his prisoner number to get any more info like in which camp he was liberated from and other tracing info? Thank you for your help.

Hi from Paris,
Dear Lea, The first and most important point is set by Robert Roth, such a certification is impossible to established by principe. Nevertheless, what do we have according to French records ? You must be aware that privacy is protected at a level understandable by US citizens. Every data is protected, even vital records less than 70 years old... Another point is the possibility to have a child without being married, letting the child with the maiden name of the mother... If we think about an "official" couple, where could a child be recorded in France :

It is not possible to prove that he was childless. My late wife had an uncle who was married and never had children. Long after he died I had a message asking me if I could suggest how to find a man who had been a musician and appeared on the stage. To cut short a long story I was able to prove that the lady in New Zealand who had been looking for her father for very many years, had finally traced him. The gentleman had fathered a child as the result of a fling with a hotel waitress whilst in Bournemouth one summer. Regards

Re: Professionals who match individuals in photographs
#photographs
Interestingly Google Photos is a simple tool that does something of that sort. After uploading the photos, just enable people tagging https://photos.google.com/people
I had varying results, sometimes it hits phenomenally, sometimes it misses obvious matches:) Best, Theo Rafael |
