Re: Phonetic search results for Suwalki using JewishGen Poland Collection

There are several issues here.
1. When you do a search and a marriage record matches you get rows returned for both bride and groom. You might not understand why one row was returned for the search but it is because the spouse matched.
2. The matches can be with any combination of given name and surname appearing on the record. Check the names of parents, spouses, witnesses etc.
3. As for CIRCUS, COUNCILMAN, WELL THEN etc you are seeing these results because you have asked your browser to TRANSLATE the page from Polish to English. It is treating the names as words. You should stop your browser translating.

The name of the town definitely Kesienew, Bessarabia (present-day Chisinau, moldova). Kishinev in Russian, Keshenev in Yiddish. Here are his naturalization documents as a further proof.

The original message in this thread was from Geoffrey Isaac Collins asking about census records for both Zabludow and Bialystok. Larry provided information from Miriam Weiner's Routes to Roots Foundation Archival inventory for census type records at the Belarus Archive in Grodno for Bialystok.

Re: Response to query: What would likely be the Jewish name for Samuel Black?
#names
Larry Gaum
My grandfather Was Sam who’s Hebrew name Yeshiah. Yiddish name was Shiah.
There are many combinations and permutations. One can only guess with reference to Samuel Black. In fact, in many genealogical questions and consideration, it’s a guessing game. Larry Gaum Toronto |

Sounds like uses Daitch-Mokotoff soundex and produces many false positive results.
Phonetic uses Beider Morse phonetic matches and removes most of the false positives. It is worth trying both but phonetic is superior. Michael Tobias Glasgow, Scotland |

Re: Yiddish Language Instructions - Duolingo

I had been using Doulingo to study Chinese and Portuguese. I have a working knowledge of Spanish. Then I had to add Yiddish. Now you made me think about the Catalan for Spanish speakers and possibly Portuguese for Spanish speakers. If they did Ladino I would probably want to take that! More people speak Ladino than Klingon or High Valyrian, and they already have courses for those languages.

USCIS Documents
#records
Robert Hanna
All four of my grandparents and two of my great grandparents emigrated to the US from Eastern Europe between 1905 and 1914. I was able to request records from USCIS for both my grandfathers as I had their file numbers. I did not have the file number for my great grandfather so I requested a records search. I paid the fees for all. Eight months later I am still waiting. I have requested updates and have been told that they are getting close. My grandfathers were both naturalized and their naturalizations included my grandmothers. I don't know whether or not my great grandfather ever applied for naturalization. Does anyone know if there would be separate USCIS files for my grandmothers and my great grandmother or would their papers be included with their respective husbands? Considering the long wait for responses from USCIS, if there are separate files, I don't want to waste any more time before applying for searches.

"A "Phonetically like" search on Surname can get odd results for Suwalki records. For example, searching "Silberman" I find a low percentage of odd given names that include : Sorry, Well then, The circus, Councilman, and Yes,David."
As you say, there are a "Phoenetically like" and a "Sounds like" when searching. Phonetically gets you many fewer results - and some odd things. I always us "Sounds like", and then I have everything to search through. They are 2 different Soundex systems, but I don't know why anyone would bother with Phonetically like; maybe an IT Pro can tell us why, but it doesn't really matter. Sally Bruckheimer Princeton, NJ |

Phonetic search results for Suwalki using JewishGen Poland Collection
#poland
paulkozo@...
A "Phonetically like" search on Surname can get odd results for Suwalki records. For example, searching "Silberman" I find a low percentage of odd given names that include : Sorry, Well then, The circus, Councilman, and Yes,David. There are also a few dodgy surname results such as WINDOW, IDENT and GLASSES. These do not show up when using "Sounds like" and "Silberman", or "is Exactly" and the correct surname (Zylberman, Zilberman, or Sylberman).
I cannot seem to find similar results for other gubernia. Has anyone else had similar results? I wrote to "webmaster@..." in March and April, but these results persist.
