Hi All- I posted a document in Russian on Viewmate that a researcher found for me
in Odessa. It may be the first marriage of my grandfather, Isaac Livshitz, in
Odessa. I am told his town is listed as Spinensk(y). Does anyone have any idea
where that would be? I can't find it on Town Finder. Here is the link to the
document. There are some tiny notes written in Yiddish, in addition to the Russian.
Please respond privately-Thanks

Our family has some evidence that a male relative immigrated to NY in 1894 with the
intention of staying only for a few years, but returned to Russia in 1896 because
his two young children, left there with his wife, died. He then returned in 1897,
landing in Boston but heading back to NY. The ship manifest for the return trip
gives the name of a "Brother-in-Law" as his Boston contact. This ostensible
brother-in-law's name is unknown to the family.

We suspect that our relative, on his return, had made up his mind to remain here
and seek citizenship, and may have thought that his trip back to Russia would reset
the clock on the required residency period for citizenship (he arrived in Boston
under his Russian, not under the Americanized name he used in NY). He may have
wanted to be as invisible as possible, and the named Boston contact person could
have been "borrowed". Our relative filed his first papers for citizenship in
April 1899, in NY, stating his 1894 arrival, brought his wife over to NY in Dec.
1899, and was granted citizenship in 1903.

How common was it for an immigrant to hide his leaving the U.S. and subsequent
re-entry because he wanted to maintain a contiguous residency period -- and, if he
was feigning a first time arrival on re-entry, did he have to provide proof that
his stated sponsor actually knew him?

This claim is repeated on the title pages, in the haskamos and in
the author's introduction. In my notes I write that R' Heshel was
the husband of Rivka the daughter of R' YTL Heller. I don't know
my source for this genealogy.

I am looking for anyone who has information on the family of
Rabbi Alexander Moses LAPIDUS, >from Lithuania.

Rav Lapidus was born in Vilna in 1819, the son of Rav Zvi
Lapidus.He was the Rav of Raseiniai >from 1866 to 1906. He
wrote the mussar classic, "Divrei Emmes" (Vilnus, 1910).

His first wife, Yenta SHUSHITZKY, had three daughters. I am
interested in learning the names of these daughters and their
families. After the passing of his first wife, he remarried
Gruna BENDETMAN and had a son, Shmuel of Baku, and three
daughters. I am hoping to find out more on these four siblings
and their families. When his second wife passed away, he married
Mina TIKTINSKY; again I am interested to see if they had children

from this third marriage.

In addition, I am seeking translation of the following documents
related to Rav Lapidus:

T'nus HaMussar, Vol 12, p. 355-356 Talmidim Shonim, Rav Alexander
Moshe Lapidus

Divrei Emmes, by Rav Alexander Moshe Lapidus, 1910, Vilna.

Thank you.

I had written my original request before the Viewmate images had been
approved and assigned their full links. So the moderator here was
nice enough to create and post the expected links for me. However,
I'm afraid those links did not work. So here are the actual, direct
links, plus the original posting below.

Thanks in advance to anyone who can help with this.

My Great Aunt Clara TABACZNIK-FEINSILBER wrote in Yiddish on the backs
of small photos, sent to my Grandfather Samson TABACZNIK(from
Rashkov, Russia/Moldova). She was living in Bucharest by 1929 at
least. Visited her brother in Vienna, too. I don't know when she
arrived there.

I've posted a photo plus the writings >from 2 photos, in Yiddish. Can
somebody possibly read them and translate for me? It might help me
verify some info or reference other relatives. For instance, I am
trying to trace 3 brothers who supposedly survived the War. I think
one of them also lived in Bucharest, as I've found "Israel TABACINIK"
in the Bucharest phonebooks, 50's to 70's. But I can't confirm he's
related, and don't know what else I can do at this point.

I have also recently found an address in Russian for another likely
brother, "Isaac TABACZNIK" in Kishinev around 1960... but don't know
how to look for him or descendants... have a photo of his nephew,
though!

In seeking to complete a translation >from the original German text of the chapter on Ronsperg in Hugo
Gold's book on Jewish Communities in Bohemia in 1930s, I am stuck on two terms:

1) The names of members of the Committee are given and these are followed by: "The treasurer is Adalbert
Weil, Senior Inspector of ths St-B i.R." I wonder if anyone knows what "St-B i.R."means?

2) There is also reference to the way in which the leader of the Community "dedicated himself to the
Ronsperg Killah and to the synagogue". Is it reasonable to suppose "Killah" might mean "Kehilah"?

Thanks if anyone can advise.
