They've changed their name, recreated the site - and it seems to me parts of  it  (e.g. the search) aren't even functional yet.
I'd try again at the same address every month or so....

After you click on the findagrave image, you get the following screen.   Note the link on the bottom right which says "View original"
.
When you click on that link, you get a pretty good image, that can be downloaded, and zooming into that image is still quite legible.  The link to the original image ends with a .jpg

I agree with the advice to post translation requests on ViewMate.

I've posted a vital record in Yiddish for which I need a translation. It is on ViewMate at the following address ...
https://www.jewishgen.org/viewmate/viewmateview.asp?key=VM93066
Please respond via the form provided on the ViewMate image page.

When I do a search on Jewishgen for my LEVI and DILLOF(F) names I get hits under the Hessen Gatermann Index, however the links do not appear to be working.  There is a reference number so that one can actually go into the films but I am not sure how to decipher it so I can pick which film I need on the Hessian Vital Records Website.  Can anyone explain how to find the images i need here is the reference: HHStAW 365/177/17/99

I've been following the exchange with a lot of interest because it touches the identities of three relatives I'm trying to trace. 

I have two mystery relatives listed in the family tree passed on to me, siblings of my great-grandmother Dora Koshkin, one a sister, Mayna and the other a brother, Munya.  The Koshkins came from Snovsk, Chernigov, Ukraine.  Most of the family emigrated in the early 1900s but, as far as I know, neither Mayna and Munya came to the US.  I have no records or documents of their lives and for awhile wondered if they were actually one person whose name was transcribed incorrectly in the family tree.  I've since found family photos with Munya and Mayna labeled separately.  :-)

I also have a 2x great-grandfather whose name is recorded as Manis on his son's marriage license and מאניש on the same son's gravestone.  The son, my great-grandfather Joseph Schwartz, is listed on a couple of other family trees where it says his father's name was Emanuel.  A number of posts in this thread suggest that Manis is a derivative of Emanuel but I've always assumed that it was the other way around: that Emanuel was a Westernized rendering of whatever Manis stood for, probably Menachem. I don't know where Manis or Joseph came from but my best guess, at the moment, is Ternivka, Ukraine.

Yes! In the case of my grandfather's brother, he did not actually embrace another religion. I do not know any of the specifics, but his granddaughter stated that he did the formal conversion for, as she said, business reasons. You are making a good point that it could be a tax reason. Or a political reason. Or a social reason to expand his business, whatever it was. He was married to a Jewish woman and has Jewish descendants. Do not know if his wife converted. No one is around with first-hand knowledge but particular actions can be researched by someone in Russia. I suspect that Jews were taxed at a higher rate or more frequently, paid more to get licenses, etc. I do know the family had several businessmen.

Here is a Rostov-on-Don entry for a business that I believe was of his son: (This may be the son Moshe/Michael who immigrated to Palestine in the 1920's)

Thank you, Andrea. These are my great-great-grandparents, so I actually would love a translation of all the details, if you or anyone else is up for it. I'd be happy to pay for your/their time.

Long-time Skierniewice and area researchers will be pleased to learn that Jewish Records Indexing - Poland has undertaken a huge new “Phase 3” project to fully extract all surviving Skierniewice birth, marriage and death records from 1826 to 1917.  To carry out this major initiative, we also have acquired scans (digital images) of all surviving Skierniewice records in the Łódź and Grodzisk Mazowiecki branches of the Polish State Archives.

 

As Town Leader, it would be my pleasure to send you a full description of the project and explain how you will be able to obtain the extracts of your family records as they become available and before they go online.

 

I look forward to hearing from you.

Does anyone have details on the Laniado family in Livorno?

SOLVED. Thank you.   This turns out to be Ludza (Lutxin in Yiddish) in present day Latvia.  Thank you.

One branch of my family is the Recu family originally from Bacau in Romania.  The article cited in the heading refers to a Simion Recu who fought in the Romanian Independence War in 1877.  Does anyone know if there is someone who worked on or contributed to this article that might be able to tell me where this information regarding Simion Recu was found?  I am hoping that it can lead to information on my family.  The article was originally published in 1995, and I believe the author (I. Kara) is deceased, but there are people mentioned on the cover that include Paul Litman (editor), Harry Green (project coordinator) and Prof. N. Cajal (author of the forward).

For my Lithuanian forebears, I have found that about 70-80% lived within the same district for most of their lives, prior to coming to the US. By that, I mean only moving to neighboring towns, not more than about 20 miles away. 

But I have also come across some individuals, either young men or young couples, who had moved quite far away from their home districts, to other places within the Russian Empire. Some I found had moved to a neighboring uyezd, say 30-50 miles away from their home base. In the late 1800s, I found two couples who had moved from northern Lithuania to Riga, Latvia. One of these couples later moved to the US. Another couple moved to the city of Kaunas, prior to moving to the US. I even found one family who moved from northern Lithuania to Revel (now Tallinn) Estonia for several years, prior to coming to the US. So, there were some persons who did move about, and it has been worth it for me to look farther. I have also used results from AncestryDNA to weave together some of these disparate families, based on likely relationships amongst us descendents.

Rosalie's obit. in addition to listing children Joseph and Susan lists grandchildren Erik and Jared.  I could not find an obit for Harold.  Suggest you contact the cemetery/funeral home since Harold died more recently (2006) and see if they have a family contact listed w/ address.  You might try Facebook, especially for young people and contact all individuals that match the name until you hopefully find the right one.
