I am in the process of creating a JewishGen KehilaLinks website for
Pokatilovo and Yampol. I would like people who have roots there to
submit material for the website. You can submit photos of the town,
photos of people born in the town, family histories, a descriptive
narrative mentioning all the generations, who married whom, what
they did for a living, where they lived, their migration, documents
you may have received >from Ukraine, etc. I would be grateful if you
will help me "populate" our new websites with materials about our
ancestral towns. If you can help with this, or if you have any other
ideas, please write to me directly at <ruthw95@...>.

survived? If so, I would be happy to share the photos which they probably
do not have.

I learned the name of my father's paternal grandmother after
obtaining a document >from Hainstadt am Main, Kreis (district)
Offenbach, Germany. Today known as Hainburg, it is a community
within the city of Hanau, in the state of Hessen, Germany.

Schewenka LOB / LOEB, whose maiden name was KAHN, was born in
Hetzbach, in the administrative district of Erbach, Germany.

Today, this location is Hetzbach, Beerfelden, Odenwaldkreis,
Hessen. The document reveals that she died 22 May 1889 in
Hainstadt (Nr.21/1889), at the age of 76. I can therefore date
her birth to ca. 1813.

My grandfather, Siegmund LOB / LOEB listed in the above document as
reporting his mother's death, married in 1892. I recently
discovered his German Heiratsschein (wedding certificate), issued
by Klein-Umstadt, a neighboring community which was the
birthplace of Siegmund's bride, M=F6rle GRUNEBAUM / GRUENEBAUM.

The Heiratsschein indicates that Siegmund is the son of the late
Salomon LOEB, and his widow "Schewenka" (the script is not
clear), whose maiden name was KAHN. This information confirms the
relationships indicated in the document >from Hainstadt. The 1892
wedding certificate refers to her as her deceased husband's widow
even though she died in 1889.

The hand-written information on the Heiratsschein is filled in
using the German script of the late 19th century. I majored in
German, but the old scripts were not in the curriculum. After
consulting with several researchers, German citizens, and German
genealogy experts the past few years, I now know all details
except my great-grandmother's name, which is very difficult to
read. Nobody at the Family History Library in Salt Lake City, or
at IAJGS International Conferences, felt confident about
correctly identifying the spelling of the name, and all agree
that it is not of German origin. I am therefore posting to the
both the GerSIG and JewishGen Digests.

The consensus is that the first name is one of the following: Schewenka,
Schevenka, Schwenka, Scheweka, or Schavenka. The clerk who recorded
her death spelled it Schewenka. None of these variations result
in a known given name.

Regardless of the exact spelling, has anyone seen this name?

Do you have any ideas about its origin?

I hope that someone will share some information which will help
me to make progress in my father's paternal line, which is my
brick wall. Thank you in advance for your thoughts.

Dear Genners,

I hope you can help me. I used to correspond with my cousin, Bob (Jules
Robert) FLEXER, on mutual genealogical and family matters. His last
residence that I know about was in, I think San Francisco, certainly
California, although he was originally >from France and they have returned
there. He is likely to have family still in the California area.

I wish to resurrect our correspondence and exchange of information. My
recent e-mail to him has bounced. If anyone knows how to contact him I would
appreciate and letting me know privately or, of course, asking Bob to
contact me.

Any help would be appreciated.

Shalom,

Once again, during the last month, the Yizkor Book Project grew in all
sorts of directions. This growth includes the completion of the "The
Martyrdom and Extermination of the Jews in Kielce During World War II"
project and the addition of the whole of the Hebrew section >from the
Vishnevets, Ukraine Yizkor Book, plus substantial additions to many of
our other projects currently in progress.

You will see that a number of new books >from the Bessarabian region
have been added and we are now looking for people to take on the
coordination of these important projects. In general, if you would like to
become involved in these or any of our other projects, I would definitely
like to hear >from you. No defined time commitments required - you are
the one to generously volunteer some of your free time and you can
decide how much time you are able to devote to these endeavors.

Once again, this past month, a number of necrologies have been placed
online >from a wide range of communities - >from Estonia, Satu Mare,
Romania, Mlyniv, Ukraine and Thessaloniki, Greece. These necrologies
are not only a token way of immortalizing the names of Jews killed in
the Holocaust; they also can provide other important genealogical
details like dates, family relationships, professions and so on and for
these reasons, we do place great efforts into preparing these
substantial lists.

I am happy to note that the Yizkor Books in Print Project is well
underway and awareness and sales are growing steadily. If you are
interested in knowing more about the project, what books are available
and where they may be purchased, especially in locations outside the
US, you will find all this information at:

Shalom,

Once again, during the last month, the Yizkor Book Project grew in all sorts
of directions. This growth includes the completion of the "The Martyrdom and
Extermination of the Jews in Kielce During World War II" project and the
addition of the whole of the Hebrew section >from the Vishnevets, Ukraine
Yizkor Book, plus substantial additions to many of our other projects
currently in progress.

You will see that a number of new books >from the Bessarabian region have
been added and we are now looking for people to take on the coordination of
these important projects. In general, if you would like to become involved
in these or any of our other projects, I would definitely like to hear from
you. No defined time commitments required - you are the one to generously
volunteer some of your free time and you can decide how much time you are
able to devote to these endeavors.

Once again, this past month, a number of necrologies have been placed online

from a wide range of communities - >from Estonia, Satu Mare, Romania, Mlyniv,

Ukraine and Thessaloniki, Greece. These necrologies are not only a token way
of immortalizing the names of Jews killed in the Holocaust, they also can
provide other important genealogical details like dates, family
relationships, professions and so on and for these reasons, we do place
great efforts into preparing these substantial lists.

I am happy to note that the Yizkor Books in Print Project is well under way
and awareness and sales are growing steadily. If you are interested in
knowing more about the project, what books are available and where they may
be purchased, especially in locations outside the US, you will find all this
information at: http://www.jewishgen.org/Yizkor/ybip.html
