But the MARRIAGE date is: 5/2/1881 and my Tobias and Faiga FRIEDMAN/FREEDMAN would have married about 1840- 1854. Could this date be wrong ? Thank you Monica McMullin Liverpool monicamcmullin@...

Re: Lviv birth records
#galicia
Mark Halpern <willie46@...>
As in some other jurisdictions, the birth record in Galicia acted as
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
an official record of changes in the subject's civil status. I have viewed many Galician birth records and find that maybe 20-30% of these have a notation that identifies a change in status. Most of these notations are about a subsequent civil marriage of the subject's parents (Jews were married in religious ceremonies, but most of these marriages were not registered with or recognized as legal by the civil authorities). This notation changed the birth status of the subject >from illegitimate to legitimate. I have also seen notations of the civil marriage of the subject 20 or so years later, name changes, and deaths. These are less common notations. My own paternal grandfather's Tarnopol birth record in 1863 has a notation on it that reads "Moses Halpern died on 17 April 1937 in Tarnopol and this event is recorded in the 1937 register of deaths volume 64, page 16, entry 79." These notations are a great resource to genealogists. Index entries in the JRI-Poland or the All Galicia database will most likely not include these great tidbits of information. Mark Halpern JRI-Poland
----- Original Message -----
I have been transcribing the Lviv Birth records since the effort began and every once in a while something stands out in the original records that begs a question and an answer. There are occasional line items that include both the birth and death information. The death information seems to have been added to the record as an afterthought at some time after the birth. There are years between the year of birth and death but the date of record are the same. What puzzles me is that this information is there for very few records and not for all records. On a whole the records are very consistent in their presentation and deaths were maintained in a separate set of records. I have ruled out the speculation that the birth record was added to the record after the death of the child however that would result in a date of occurrence and the date of record to be different for the birth. Any ideas? Errol Schneegurt Long Island, NY ESLVIV@...

H SILVER
Hi,
I hope you are all having a wonderful Pasech. I am researching my paternal gmother's family. The family originated >from Raseiniai,Gubernia,Lithuania. My ggfather was a wholesale fisherman, who, unfortunately, fell into the Baltic and died >from hyperthermia. The family name was NEVDOFSKI. My gmother's name was, Chusha Mindel/Cecelia. Her brother, Yacov, came to England. Her sister Chia/Annie, also came to England with her husband, Max KADDISH, they settled in Sheffield. Another 2 sisters emigrated to Stockholm, Sweden, with their husbands, who were boot makers.They had children there. However, the eldest sister, Gitel, and her husband went back to Lithuania, to visit family, and the husband was arrested by the tzar's army and sent to Siberia. Her other sister, Leibe, and her husband left Sweden and followed them to Siberia where all contact was lost. Another sister, Sarah Leah, and her husband, named JESOFSKI, emigrated to Chicago and later moved to San Francisco. I think they had 2 children, Mendel and Celia. The family left in Stockholm did correspond with the family in Sheffield until the 2nd. world war. If anything rings a bell with you, I'd love to hear >from you. Regards, Harvey Silver, England.
