Shalom,
As our ultimate aim in the Yizkor Book Project is to see complete translations of books online, it's particularly gratifying when we do reach this goal and, in this past month, we managed to achieve it twice. The first project was the Csenger, Hungary Yizkor book (Memorial Book of the Martyrs of Csenger, Porcsalma and Vicinity) whose translation was gratefully donated by Renee and Stan Fishkind, and the second was the Gorodets, Belarus Yizkor book (Horodetz; history of a town, 1142-1942) which was translated in its entirety by Hannah Kadmon and Eugene Sucov and my high praise goes out to all these people for seeing these projects to their successful completion. This means that we now have just over 80 projects that are complete books and there are many others now that are close to completion, with yet many others for which the road ahead to reach this goal is long and winding. Of course, reaching this goal requires many, many hours of volunteer and professional work but actually achieving this is very, very gratifying and will provide a fountain of knowledge to so many. These days we are also offering the option to print hardcopies of the completed translations, something which has proven to be very popular and we're very encouraged by the positive response received, so far, to these carefully prepared and presented volumes. If you wish to learn more about the YBIP (Yizkor Books in Print) Project, you are welcome to visit http://www.jewishgen.org/Yizkor/ybip.html Over the last month or so, a number of new Translation Fund projects have been set up to enable people to help some of the Yizkor Book projects along financially. The projects recently added were for the following books: - Dumbraveni, Moldova (There once was a town - a descriptive monograph of the town of Dombroven) - Glinyany, Ukraine (In the Diaspora and in the Homeland) - Nowy Dwor Mazowiecki, Poland (Memorial book of Nowy-Dwor) If you would like to know more about these projects or any of the others that are currently running, you are invited to visit the JewishGen-erosity page at http://www.jewishgen.org/JewishGen-erosity/v_projectslist.asp?project_cat=23 Finally, I would assume that this report finds many of you preparing for their trip to the 32nd IAJGS International Conference. Unfortunately, I will not be there but Jan Meisels Allen has kindly agreed to lead the Yizkor Book Birds of a Feather meeting and hope as many of you will take part and be enriched by Jan's wide knowledge in this field. Other than that, I do wish all of the participants in the conference a very fruitful and rewarding experience. Now to facts and figures As far as the June figures go, during this last month we have added these 4 new projects: - Bialystok, Poland (The Bialystoker memorial book) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Bialystok1/Bialystok1.html - Bonyhad, Hungary (Bonyhad: a destroyed community;

Re: Finding names of ship with date of arrival and port
#general
Ira Leviton
Dear Cousins,
Marilyn Levinson wants to find the arrival record of an ancestor who arrived in Boston on March 22, 1918. There is a way to do this, and it's not that hard, even without an index. The main obstacle is to get to a National Archives Branch that has microfilms of ship manifests that landed in Boston. Boston obviously was not a big immigration port like New York. On many days, no passenger ships arrived, and at most there were only a few. If Marilyn is lucky, her ancestor's ship was the only one that day. Unlike for New York arrivals, it's relatively easy to scroll through all the pages and scan all the names for a particular day. If that doesn't work, a Soundex index might be available at NARA, but I'm not sure about that. Long before I got obsessed with my family trees, my uncle told me the date he arrived in Boston and I wrote it down (an early symptom, perhaps). Years later, after he had passed away, I had an opportunity to find his arrival record, and as I started to scan the microfilm, I realized that I didn't know his name when he immigrated. Despite the poor quality of the scan, it was still easy to find Louis Cohn as Leib Kon, with the correct town and a name of a relative there. I believe the NARA branches in both Washington D.C. and Boston have arrival records for Boston. There is also an outside chance of finding an arrival card >from HIAS http://www.jewishgen.org/databases/USA/BostonHIAS.htm, although they processed only a minority. The names can even be searched on line at http://www.jewishgen.org/databases/USA/ Ira Ira Leviton New York, N.Y.

Sephardic SIG #Sephardim Yizkor Book Project, June 2012
#sephardic
Lance Ackerfeld <lance.ackerfeld@...>
Shalom,
As our ultimate aim in the Yizkor Book Project is to see complete translations of books online, it's particularly gratifying when we do reach this goal and, in this past month, we managed to achieve it twice. The first project was the Csenger, Hungary Yizkor book (Memorial Book of the Martyrs of Csenger, Porcsalma and Vicinity) whose translation was gratefully donated by Renee and Stan Fishkind, and the second was the Gorodets, Belarus Yizkor book (Horodetz; history of a town, 1142-1942) which was translated in its entirety by Hannah Kadmon and Eugene Sucov and my high praise goes out to all these people for seeing these projects to their successful completion. This means that we now have just over 80 projects that are complete books and there are many others now that are close to completion, with yet many others for which the road ahead to reach this goal is long and winding. Of course, reaching this goal requires many, many hours of volunteer and professional work but actually achieving this is very, very gratifying and will provide a fountain of knowledge to so many. These days we are also offering the option to print hardcopies of the completed translations, something which has proven to be very popular and we're very encouraged by the positive response received, so far, to these carefully prepared and presented volumes. If you wish to learn more about the YBIP (Yizkor Books in Print) Project, you are welcome to visit http://www.jewishgen.org/Yizkor/ybip.html Over the last month or so, a number of new Translation Fund projects have been set up to enable people to help some of the Yizkor Book projects along financially. The projects recently added were for the following books: - Dumbraveni, Moldova (There once was a town - a descriptive monograph of the town of Dombroven) - Glinyany, Ukraine (In the Diaspora and in the Homeland) - Nowy Dwor Mazowiecki, Poland (Memorial book of Nowy-Dwor) If you would like to know more about these projects or any of the others that are currently running, you are invited to visit the JewishGen-erosity page at http://www.jewishgen.org/JewishGen-erosity/v_projectslist.asp?project_cat=23 Finally, I would assume that this report finds many of you preparing for their trip to the 32nd IAJGS International Conference. Unfortunately, I will not be there but Jan Meisels Allen has kindly agreed to lead the Yizkor Book Birds of a Feather meeting and hope as many of you will take part and be enriched by Jan's wide knowledge in this field.

Yizkor Books #YizkorBooks Yizkor Book Project, June 2012
#yizkorbooks
Lance Ackerfeld <lance.ackerfeld@...>
Shalom,
As our ultimate aim in the Yizkor Book Project is to see complete translations of books online, it's particularly gratifying when we do reach this goal and, in this past month, we managed to achieve it twice. The first project was the Csenger, Hungary Yizkor book (Memorial Book of the Martyrs of Csenger, Porcsalma and Vicinity) whose translation was gratefully donated by Renee and Stan Fishkind, and the second was the Gorodets, Belarus Yizkor book (Horodetz; history of a town, 1142-1942) which was translated in its entirety by Hannah Kadmon and Eugene Sucov and my high praise goes out to all these people for seeing these projects to their successful completion. This means that we now have just over 80 projects that are complete books and there are many others now that are close to completion, with yet many others for which the road ahead to reach this goal is long and winding. Of course, reaching this goal requires many, many hours of volunteer and professional work but actually achieving this is very, very gratifying and will provide a fountain of knowledge to so many. These days we are also offering the option to print hardcopies of the completed translations, something which has proven to be very popular and we're very encouraged by the positive response received, so far, to these carefully prepared and presented volumes. If you wish to learn more about the YBIP (Yizkor Books in Print) Project, you are welcome to visit http://www.jewishgen.org/Yizkor/ybip.html Over the last month or so, a number of new Translation Fund projects have been set up to enable people to help some of the Yizkor Book projects along financially. The projects recently added were for the following books: - Dumbraveni, Moldova (There once was a town - a descriptive monograph of the town of Dombroven) - Glinyany, Ukraine (In the Diaspora and in the Homeland) - Nowy Dwor Mazowiecki, Poland (Memorial book of Nowy-Dwor) If you would like to know more about these projects or any of the others that are currently running, you are invited to visit the JewishGen-erosity page at http://www.jewishgen.org/JewishGen-erosity/v_projectslist.asp?project_cat=23 Finally, I would assume that this report finds many of you preparing for their trip to the 32nd IAJGS International Conference. Unfortunately, I will not be there but Jan Meisels Allen has kindly agreed to lead the Yizkor Book Birds of a Feather meeting and hope as many of you will take part and be enriched by Jan's wide knowledge in this field.

Yizkor Book Project, June 2012
#rabbinic
Lance Ackerfeld <lance.ackerfeld@...>
Shalom,
As our ultimate aim in the Yizkor Book Project is to see complete translations of books online, it's particularly gratifying when we do reach this goal and, in this past month, we managed to achieve it twice. The first project was the Csenger, Hungary Yizkor book (Memorial Book of the Martyrs of Csenger, Porcsalma and Vicinity) whose translation was gratefully donated by Renee and Stan Fishkind, and the second was the Gorodets, Belarus Yizkor book (Horodetz; history of a town, 1142-1942) which was translated in its entirety by Hannah Kadmon and Eugene Sucov and my high praise goes out to all these people for seeing these projects to their successful completion. This means that we now have just over 80 projects that are complete books and there are many others now that are close to completion, with yet many others for which the road ahead to reach this goal is long and winding. Of course, reaching this goal requires many, many hours of volunteer and professional work but actually achieving this is very, very gratifying and will provide a fountain of knowledge to so many. These days we are also offering the option to print hardcopies of the completed translations, something which has proven to be very popular and we're very encouraged by the positive response received, so far, to these carefully prepared and presented volumes. If you wish to learn more about the YBIP (Yizkor Books in Print) Project, you are welcome to visit http://www.jewishgen.org/Yizkor/ybip.html Over the last month or so, a number of new Translation Fund projects have been set up to enable people to help some of the Yizkor Book projects along financially. The projects recently added were for the following books: - Dumbraveni, Moldova (There once was a town - a descriptive monograph of the town of Dombroven) - Glinyany, Ukraine (In the Diaspora and in the Homeland) - Nowy Dwor Mazowiecki, Poland (Memorial book of Nowy-Dwor) If you would like to know more about these projects or any of the others that are currently running, you are invited to visit the JewishGen-erosity page at http://www.jewishgen.org/JewishGen-erosity/v_projectslist.asp?project_cat=23 Finally, I would assume that this report finds many of you preparing for their trip to the 32nd IAJGS International Conference. Unfortunately, I will not be there but Jan Meisels Allen has kindly agreed to lead the Yizkor Book Birds of a Feather meeting and hope as many of you will take part and be enriched by Jan's wide knowledge in this field. Other than that, I do wish all of the participants in the conference a very fruitful and rewarding experience.
