JRI-Poland lists dozens of ZYLBER/SILBER records, some going back to the 1830's (I see one death record >from that time. If its for an older man, then your family could be traced well back into the 1700's). If you haven't used this resource yet, you will want to try. Also, don't limit yourself to Ciechanow. Many families moved around a lot in that era, due to marriages, search for work, etc. My own families >from Ciechanow were ANTKES, SZTERDYNER , BURSZTEJN and they married into the LAKRYC, ROTSZTEJN, MAKOWSKI and other families of the region. 1. CiechanowModerators note: Please contact the poster directly for continuing discussion or comments related to to the original post.

Although my father and his family came >from Ciechanow, their name was Goldstein (Goldszein/Goljtein), so I can't help you on this occasion. I hope you have more luck >from other members of the Ciechanow group. I have visited Ciechanow and there are many family records in the Town Hall - staff are very willing to help personal callers but you would need someone to help with the language.

Reminder to all Discussion Group Members
#bessarabia
Alan Levitt
Hi,
For those of you who have not yet responded to our survey to assess your response regarding how our SIG and Discussion Group can better serve your interests and information gathering needs, the last opportunity to respond is this week. Below is the link to a brief survey, along with the original note I sent accompanying it (for those of you who have joined since it was sent). http://tinyurl.com/7ojlpuu Please take a few minutes to indicate what is important to you. You don't have to fill out every question or even give your name. Thanks, Alan Levitt Bessarabia SIG Discussion Group Moderator ----- DEAR BESSARABIA RESEARCHER: Our new Bessarabia SIG Discussion Group is off to a good start and in our first few weeks over 200 members >from at least 11 countries have already participated in hundreds of exchanges. While our neighbor ROM-SIG will continue work on a project it began years ago ? the Bessarabia Vital Records project, a transliteration of existing Birth, Death, and Marriage records >from Kishinev and several other towns - our Bessarabia SIG has begun a number of new projects: Bessarabia Revision Lists (37,000 records have already been translated), a Business directory, Geographical Dictionary, cemetery grave photographing, along with providing lots of other informational resources (see our website for an overview of what's going on). But before we get too far down the road, we want to take this opportunity to assess your personal interests and needs that can be addressed in our planning of future priorities and activities. We also want to know how we can provide better support for your own research and information gathering. Are you interested in historic photographs? Maps? Other databases? Conference calls or webinars? Responses to the survey below will be useful to us. You also may offer additional suggestions and comments at the end of the survey. We are fortunate that Yefim Kogan, the head of our SIG, lived in Kishinev for 17 years and another 19 in Moscow. He?s traveled extensively, visiting relatives and vacationing in many of the towns and cities in what was Bessarabia. Yefim is fluent in Russian, studied Romanian in school, and his first language was Yiddish. So, his familiarity with the geography and languages, along with his knowledge of the history and culture of the region, may help the Bessarabia SIG - in understanding the historical and cultural perspectives of the area, in retrieving information >from archives and organizations, and in advancing projects that generate new learning that may be helpful in our personal genealogical research. Please take a few minutes to respond. (Note: Part of this survey is based on questionnaires developed by the Ukraine and ROM SIGs.) Thanks, Alan Levitt Bessarabia SIG Discussion Group Moderator

Scroll down the report to get to these areas: New York City For those interested in accessing New York City vital records >from the New York City Municipal Archives, there is an attempt with legislation pending in the New York City Council that will eliminate the autonomy of New York City's Department of Records and Information Services (DORIS).

Introducing myself finally
#bessarabia
Lynn Arroyo
Hello fellow Researchers!
Due to health problems I have not been able to write before now. My name is Lynn Arroyo and I live in Largo, Florida near the Tampa area. I am very confused about my family since I cannot find anything on the surname that I am searching. I have very scant (at best) information on my family >from Kishinev. I do know the surname is ZALMECHOVSKY (and variant spellings). I believe that my great grandfather, Chaim Mortke TROYANSKY (and variant spellings),married a woman named Sophie (or Zusia?) ZAMHOFSKY or ZALMECHOVSKY in about 1850. One son's death certificate says his mother's name was Zamhofsky and another one's death certificate says his mother's name was Zalmechovsky. When Sophie died Chaim married the woman who was to become my great grandmother. At this point I am only interested in one of Chaim and his first wife's son, Michel Leizer Troyansky. Michel married a woman named Rivka Zalmechovsky. I have heard that Rivka came >from Kartuz-Bereza. My problem seems to be that it looks like Chaim married Sophie, and his son Michel married Sophie's sister Rivka. As far as the difference between ZAMHOFSKY amd ZALMECHOVSKY goes, I do understand that the wives who supplied the information on each death certificate could have not been pronouncing the names correctly, or the person who took the information might have not hearad it correctly, etc. Would it have been unreasonable for a man to marry his mother's sister circa 1870? Any help or comments are welcome! Sincerely, Lynn Arroyo Largo, FL Researching ZAMHOFSKY, ZALMECHOVSKY, TROYANSKY in Kishinev.

Censuses - Podolia gubernia
#bessarabia
Myra & Peter Waddell <mpwaddell@...>
Sorry if you've already read this in the Ukraine digest but I've been
advised that it should really have been sent to the Bessarabia digest. I read in the new Ukraine website that there were censuses held in the Podolia gubernia and wondered whether any of these are available online. I'm particularly interested in the 1888 as my maternal grandfather, HenochOjzner/UZNER, born in Khotyn, would have been fifteen years old at thattime and his brother, Yossel, 8 years old. I don't know how old theirother brother, Yankel would have been, nor do I know whether there wereany other children born to Fradl/Freydel) and Yisroel Moische (known as Moische/Morris) Uzner. Of course, I'd be interested in ''any'' documents where ''any'' of their names appeared!! In a book by Alexander Beider ? A Dictionary of Jewish surnames >from The Russian Empire - I looked up Osner and discovered that the name Ojzner was described as an occupational surname (maybe >from Hausner - proprietor of the house) and that one of the names derived >from that was Uzner.The /only/ place, >from which this surname comes, is Khotin. My maternal grandmother, Ester (Rivka or Benita) BORZIANSKY was born in Kamenets-Podolskiy in 1878 to Chaim Fischel Borziansky and mother- unknown. She and my grandfather married in Vinnitsa in August, 1897. I look forward to receiving any help with clues as to how I might discover more about these ancestors. I haven't done too badly so far as, when I started my research, I only knew the given names of three of my grandparents and had no idea where they were born nor the names of their parents or siblings. With thanks in advance, Myra Waddell (born inLondon and now living in Adelaide, South Australia) MODERATOR NOTE please reply privarely to sender
