Thank you for reminding me of the salty delicious olives. My Romanian born
mother called them (what sounded like to me as) maslinits.

Hope you had a Happy Thanksgiving...(at which I served my mother's recipe
for chopped eggplant as hors d'oevres.)

I followed the paper trail for Levy FREUND, who I'm hoping to find a
relationship to in my FREUND/LAZARUS family (other than marriage). I followed
him in the census and other documents >from 1880-1920.

from 1880-1910 he was head of household. In 1920 he was living with his

daughter and son-in-law.

In 1925, he's an inmate in the Hebrew Orphan Asylum. He's 75 years old and
all the other inmates are adults as well. I thought the Hebrew Orphan
Asylum was an orphange for children. Why were all these adults, mostly
elderly, incarcerated there? What kind of institution was it?

He had many children, and I know some were still living. How and why did he
end up in an orphanage? Does anyone know the background of this place?

He died in 1928. I'm planning on getting the death certificate.

Thank you.

For Jewish burials in Toronto, you might try to contact either Steeles
Memorial, <http://www.steelesmemorial.com>, or Benjamin's
<http://www.benjamins.ca>, the two Jewish funeral homes. They usually
produce a brief obituary, which could be helpful.

They both list their recent funerals online, but there are no SKURNIKs listed.

I've been reading a new book out entitled "The Black Count: Glory, Revolution,
Betrayal, and the Real Count of Monte Cristo" by Tom Reiss.

It is about the black heritage of French writer Alexandre Dumas, Pere, author of
the "Count of Monte Cristo" and "The Three Musketeers", but mentions a Jewish
connection through the marriage of his granddaughter,
Marie-Alexandrine-Henriette Dumas, to Maurice Lippmann, a wealthy banker, whom
she divorced. Their son, Alexandre Lippmann, was known as an Olympic star epee
fencer and Jewish athelete as he participated in three Olympiads.

Upon further research, the Lippmann family has quite interesting connections to
other well-known Jewish families. Maurice Lippmann's parents were August
Lippmann and Frederike Konigswarter, who was the daughter of Moritz Konigswarter
and Cacilie Wertheimer (daughter of Phillip Wertheimer). All of these
influential in German, Austrian and French banking circles.

Maurice's sister was Leontine Lippmann, who took another track as she married
Frenchman Albert Arman de Caillevet. She later became famous for the literary
salon she sponsored in her home, but more as the mistress of noted French writer
Anatole France and as a staunch supporter of Alfred Dreyfus. Leontine's son
Gaston Arman de Caillavet, a writer, married Jean Pouquet whilst Gaston's
daughter Simone Andre de Caillevet, also a writer, married French writer Andre
Maurois.

It is always amazing how one can be reading something totally apart >from Jewish
genealogy and it leads there just the same.

Now that genealogists have a full round of U.S. Census record up to 1940
and other immigration and naturalization records too, it is sometimes
possible to find connections to very tiny shtetls in Lithuania. As is
usual for me, I am always looking for connections to Kupiskis, my ancestral
shtetl, and it so happened that someone asked me about the KRAM or KROM
family >from there. In looking through various records, I happened upon
a TRAUB family who married into the KROM family and they were >from a
place called Radeikiai which was actually mentioned in a record. Where
on earth was Radeikiai as I was not familiar with it? Upon looking it
up on Google Maps, it appeared to be a tiny speck of nothing in the
Utena District of Kovno Guberniya. It was actually 10km >from Utena.

However, it was mentioned briefly in Pinkas Hakehillot:
http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/pinkas_lita/lit_00628a.html
as having about twelve Jewish families. So, it was quite tiny. There was
also mention of the =0AJews >from there being killed during the Holocaust
in the Rashe Forest near Utena at:
http://www.iajgsjewishcemeteryproject.org/lithuania/skiemonys.html
and
http://www.blankgenealogy.com/histories/Location%20histories/Lithuania
/Utena%20Lithuania.pdf

You can even find a virtual tour of present day Radeikiai at:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3DpW6tyYItR90

And lastly, there were thirty-six records in the ALD for the town,
including records for the KROM and TRAUB and their related families.
So, even the most tiny place may have something to say for itself.
