Shalom,

At the outset of this report, I would like to say that my thoughts, like
many, are with the people have just undergone a tormentful time though
Sandy's onslaught on cities in the United States and Canada. I can only hope
that for all those affected by this storm, that life for them soon returns
to being very normal and very tranquil.

About the Yizkor Book Project - we continue to plug on. I believe that
October can be characterized by a large number of updates to existing
projects, some of which are drawing close to completion. For some of our
updates, we've been working on the addition of tables of contents for
existing projects that, up until now have been without. Immeasurable help
in carrying out these translations is being provided by the Yocheved
Klausner and Sara Mages. Our aim is to continue add in table of contents to
projects without, in order to indicate to you, the readers, of the "gems"
that these Yizkor Books contain. As we translate an article, a blue
hyperlink will be added to the contents and for those main pages that don't
have blue links, it's probably because no one has stepped forward to
coordinate the translation of the particular Yizkor Book. So what are you
waiting for? <g>

Our project, as I'm sure you're aware, relies on the help of a great many
volunteers in the fields translating, transliterating, editing, picture
scanning and typing and we never have too many people involved in our aim of
seeing these books completely translated into English. I'm pleased to note
that apart >from English, we have a small but growing contingent of books
being translated into other languages. For instance, this past month has
seen the addition of Polish translations >from the Staszow book, which has
already translations in English and Hebrew. The addition of these
translations means that more and more people with no knowledge of Hebrew or
Yiddish (the main languages of the Yizkor Books) can now freely access the
important information these books contain in a language that is convenient
for them to read in.

Now to facts and figures - as far as the October figures go, during this

Hi Genners

Please can someone confirm that this TSCHERNY family photo
on ViewMate at the following address ...

http://www.jewishgen.org/viewmate/viewmateview.asp?key=VM24770

was indeed taken in Baku, Russian Empire in about 1911.

What is the name and address of the photographer shown on the reverse?



I think that the name is repeated down the side of the front of the photo
which is on ViewMate
http://www.jewishgen.org/viewmate/viewmateview.asp?key=VM24777


Please is anybody related to this family? Or know anything about them? Or can suggest how I might find out about their ancestors.

Lionel (Levi-Itzkhok) Tsalevich TCHERNY of Belaya Tserkov, Kiev, Russia
married Sophia (Sosya) Mordkova DIVINSKAIA of Vasilkov
25 May 1908 in Kiev. But had their sons in Baku.

Came to London in 1911 or 1912 with Marcus and Moisei.

Changed their name to Black, but did not become naturalised.

Apparently Sosya had eight sisters .

Lionel's younger brother Nathan went to USA in 1912, changed name to CHORNEY and was naturalised in 1920.

Please respond via the form provided in the ViewMate application.
Thank you very much for any help at all.

Jeffrey,

The letter "G"in Cyrillic is pronounced somewhere between a /g/ and an
/h/ sound. I have seen many names in 19th century vital records that are
written with a leading /G/ on the Russian language side of the ledger
and with aleading/H/ (heh) on the Hebrewledger page.I also have seen
many names that sometimes are written with a leading /G/ in Cyrillic and
other times written with a leading /H/, even in the same family.

I have posted pieces of my Grandfathers brother's passport, and a
Russian document belonging to my Grandfather. I am not sure what the
document belonging to my Grandfather is. I can read the date 1914,
but my Grandfather emigrated in 1913. I can also read 1882. I am not
sure when he was born. The document stating that he was born in 1892
make more sense.

My Grandfather is Morris Estis. Perhaps the document is not for him.

I would like a full translation. I will be posting more parts of my
Grandfather's brothers passport.
