Jewish culinary heritage is always a unique means of determining ethnicity.
However, there are some basic items that are eaten that are quite similar
throughout the world and olives are one of these items. I thought the posting
about the origin of the "miselenis" olives was a good question as olives are a
staple in many Jewish cultures and dishes.

The answer to the poster's question is that Maslin is the Romanian name for
olives and Masline is the Yiddish name for olives. It can also refer to Greek
or any number of other ethnic origin olives. And, yes, masline is found on
packaging of olives in stores. The poster mentioned the Romanian and Egyptian
ethnicity in her family and she might be surprised to learn that the olives her
Romanian grandfather made were probably similar to those made in his mother's
Egyptian Jewish culture.

An interesting article on Sarah Melamed's "Food Bridge, Bridging Cultures
Through Food" blog on the topic of olives might also answer another aspect of
the inquiry, that of how they are made. Olives are generally cured with either
lye, dry salt, water or brine. As to how to actually do the curing, you can
look up "how to cure olives" on YouTube and up will pop loads of recipes and how
to make them. One such video,
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bTcgMNQJzBU&feature=related , uses Sarah Melamed's
recipe.

Also, you can look up any number of Jewish cookbooks online which will have
recipes, particularly vegetarian ones. You will also find recipes of using
olives along with other ingredients in many delicious dishes which are tailored
to the countries that they come from.

Hello,
I added two pages >from the Berthold Rosenthal Collection to Viewmate.
Please follow the links below.

VM24942: This is part of a list of towns in Baden.I think it might be
population statistics in 1798. I would appreciate a translation of the
column headings.
http://www.jewishgen.org/viewmate/viewmateview.asp?key=VM24942

VM24943: These 6 lines, I believe, are about the Jewish population of Baden
Germany, and I would appreciate a translation.
This page is followed by a few pages of towns, listing individuals
names, including my ancestor and 20fl.

Hi All,

Our varied responses to this question are interesting. I treat this
differently to the other respondents but agree with all views expressed
though would add one caution -

The caution occurred to me after reading of "The Master Genealogist" having
an event called - "Name variations". Sometimes genealogical programs have
their very own NON-gedcom-standard events (though they might swear blind to
be only gedcom-standard). I think the latest generally accepted tags are
here, http://genealogy.about.com/library/weekly/aa110100d.htm ,
though am happy to be corrected if I am wrong. I don't know whether TMG's
"name variations" is a gedcom standard tag but in any case I thought the
point worth making.

I am sure I am not the only person who has run into problems when moving
my data over to different genealogical software and discovering that some
of my "standard" or "custom events" are treated differently in the new
software (FTM did this for ages with their "occupation" event, which
placed the data into the event's "place" or location field).

In contrast to other respondents to this question, my approach is to use the
individual's "NEW" name as their birth name (Name tag). And to put their
"original" and any "other" names against additional Name tags. I have also
added a custom event (Tag - Even, Description - "Name changed from") which
is designed to help my family members to look for individuals who have
changed their names. I have taken this approach because my website is
basically "for my family" and contains names of living individuals who
changed their name over 70 years ago. If other family members were to
search the website for these individuals they would very likely not find
them because their original names are not common family knowledge having not
been used for many decades.

I received the NY State Birth Certificate for Ida Fanny Cohen in error.
If she is "your" Ida Cohen, please contact me.

She was born Feb. 18, 1900 in NY. Parents were Michael and Edda Cohen.
It looks like the father was a porter. They lived at 189 E. 4th St.
