Sadly a lot of the Introductions are out of date and the contact persons no longer correct. It is quite difficult getting errors corrected. I suggest you write to the current person in charge of records for that particular Country. Contact Jewishgen Executive Director Avram Groll and he should be able to help.

Emanuel Blanco
Hello,
I have found some results of interest to me in the Claims Conference, Hungary database available at JewishGen. The family name is GOTTERER. The DocCode is 50.
From what I understand, the file coded 50 is available at the Central Zionist Archive.
However I can't find the finding aid in the US Holocaust Museum and I find no information about this on the CZA website either.
Is it possible to get access to a file and if yes how ?
Thank you for your help.

Thank you.

Re: Searching for descendants of Martha and Georg ZACHARIAS and Lena and Moritz ZACHARIAS
#israel
Roger Browdy
My wife's father's mother was born Golda Scharios in Krynki, Poland, and later moved to Bialystok, where she married Yoel Suchonitzki and eventually moved to Palestine. Her siblings were Julius, Joseph, Louis and Sarah. The men came to America and changed their name to Siegel. Her father's name was David Scharios. The Hebrew name on his headstone transliterates to Zacharit. These could very well be the same family. Does your family have roots in Bialystok or Krynki? I also know another family that is researching Zacharios. Contact me.

Yiddish Language Instructions - Duolingo

bobmalakoff@...
I don't know if this is appropriate or not but Duolingo has just offered a Yiddish Language course at www.duolingo.com
I had been using it for learning other languages, but when the Yiddish course was released I had to try it. The service is free with ads or there is a yearly subscription option. Other than being a customer, my only connection with the company is they are located in Pittsburgh. Bob Malakoff Pittsburgh, PA

spetracek5105@...
I am trying to track down an obituary for Marcel Brzostowski. From what I can determine, he passed away around 1 June 1995 in the region of Grasse, Alpes-Maritimes, Provence-Alpes-Cote d'Azor France. I have been unable to find any newspaper or any form of documentation describing his life in a typical obituary I am expecting. Any thoughts on newspapers or other sources in the region would be appreciated. Thank you.

STERN family of Malsch, Landkreis Karlsruhe
#germany
Ralph Baer
Is anyone researching or have information about the STERN family of Malsch in the present-day Landkreis (County of) Karlsruhe, Baden-Württemberg, Germany?
I recently found out that the STERN name adopter Joseph Isaak (about 1751 – 19 February 1816 Malsch) was a stepbrother of Marx Nathan, my ancestor who, along with his brother Abraham Nathan, adopted the family name BÄR (BAER) in 1809 in Malsch. It would not surprise me if Joseph was also their first cousin, perhaps a son of their maternal uncle Isaac Abraham who apparently disappeared from Malsch records after being denied Schutz (rights of residence, marry, etc.) in 1745.
A member if the STERN family of Malsch was the historian Selma STERN-TÄUBLER who was born in Kippenheim.
