Walter Rosenthal
“How I Found My Third Great Grandfather”. The Jewish Genealogical Society of Palm Beach County (JGSPBCI) will host a virtual presentation by Larry Schulman on Wednesday, April 14, 2021 at 1PM EST. Larry will walk us through many years of developing his maternal family tree and how he came upon the “unique process” he noticed and followed — a method which unveiled many unknown family members and eventually led to the discovery of his third great grandfather born in 1801. -For more information and a link, email Walter Rosenthal, JGSPBCI Outreach Coordinator at waltrose864@...

Re: Genealogy in Belgium

JONES Etienne H.L.F.
Hi David,
Pascale did give a very good answer with these 2 official Ref, I would add the website of the Jewish Genealogy Society of Belgium (JGSB or CGJB in French) I give give you the URL (text available in English) : www. jgsbelgium.be/en/home/be But maybe it's possible to tell you – or even do for you – more : what could be your question(s) about those « members of a BOCHNER family » : where did they live (ANTWERP ? BRUSSELS ? LIEGE ? CHALEROI ? other places ? ) ? at approximately which time ? are there further precisions available about their first names or relationship between themselves ? are there data available about possible burying places ? and so on. Etienne JONES

Re: Understanding Lithuanian Revision Lists
#lithuania
People could move without changing their place of official registration. They were listed in revision lists according to where they were registered, and in metrical books (births, deaths, marriages, divorces) and the 1897 census according to where they lived.

Re: Copying Hebrew text from a PDF into a Translation tool - OCR (Optical Character Recognition) Help Request
#general
Hi Joyaa,
one thing I did in the past was to use free site file converters such as https://convertio.co I would convert from PDF to HTML, making copying the text an easy task. I had good results with the resulting html formatting. Regards, Avraham Kahana

#bessarabia
Hi Salmo,
a good (free) resource is FamilySearch's Brazilian Rio de Janeiro Immigration Cards. Although restricted to Rio de Janeiro, if you do not know from where did they enter Brazil, it's worth a try. Regards Avraham Kahana

Re: How to recreate previously found Jewishgen census record UK 1851
#records
David Harrison <djh_119@...>
Ron
I am sorry, but the ways that different searches change over the ages are unknown to this ordinary mortal. However, I would suggest that that the Bishopsgate Institute files on
www.bishopsgate.org.uk could be of help. They seem to have almost everything relating to the Jewish London, especially of the East End (actually more the East and North wrap round The City).
I have found them as helpful as Amsterdam, Leeuwarden or Groningen

Thank you. I am aware of the changes to the area and the various street name changes (e.g. South Street to Chiswell Road to Finsbury Place to Finsbury square, and nowadays Finsbury Park) that took place. However, it is still not clear to me why data previously produced through the Unified Search as shown by my pdf file no longer comes forward. Regards, Ron Peeters (NL)

Re: Moving Frequently Among Ukraine Towns
#ukraine
Sally Bruckheimer <sallybruc@...>
This was not only in Ukraine. My Ruslander family, which arrived about 1835 from farther East and took that surname, by 1870 lived in Augustow, Raczki, Sztabiin, Rajgrod, Marjampol, Alinka, Nur, and more towns as well as France. One cousin, who came to the US from Augustow, said on his naturalization papers that he was born in Marseilles (during the 1860s rebellion, cholera, and famine).
Since I can connect all the people in my tree, and I have a letter backing up the relationships, I wouldn't consider any family in any location as constantly living in one location. I have other parts of my family in other locations who also moved around. Sally Bruckheimer Princeton, NJ
