I have found in the 1930 census a person whom I believe is a relative of
mine, born 1894. The wife's name, his profession and the neighborhood all
seem to be a match. The only catch is that the relative is named Harry, and
his son's name is "Harry, Jr.". The last name is BREINER, which can be
Jewish but can also be German.

My question:

What is the likelihood that a Jew (born and living for his first 8 years of
life in a shtetl), would call his son, born in NYC, by the same name?

TIA,

If anyone is planning on attending this conference for all or part of the
time and is NOT planning on staying in the hotel, do let me know. I have
only just started considering it and I am based in Israel. I may have to
via the UK and drop off my son at my parents but not sure. I don't think
financially I can do that hotel as well as all the flights and the price of
the conference etc. so I would be interested if people have found
alternatives. I haven't been to paris for years and really don't know it.

Shalom,

Numerically wise and on the surface, the Yizkor book activities during March
seem a little quieter than usual, however volume-wise, this month saw
considerable amounts of material being added to various projects. As a
result, I would like to send out a number of thank-yous to the people behind
some of the March additions.

- This month no fewer than five necrologies were added - Capresti, Moldova;

would like to thank Shalom Bronstein, Haim Sidor and Yefim Kogan for the
painstaking efforts they put into preparing them as accurately as possible.

for his encouragement and assistance in pushing forward the translation of
Yizkor books >from the Bessarabian region which contain so much un-tapped
information about the communities there
- This month saw the addition of the Vishnevets, Ukraine book which has been
translated and will be completely uploaded to the Yizkor Book Project over

and Ellen's involvement in organization of the translation of other

Shalom,

Numerically wise and on the surface, the Yizkor book activities during March

Lance,
Your work and the work of so many others makes me feel gratified to
have Sierpc included.

For the next Yiddish translation of the Sierpc Project, would the
Holocaust section be an important historical place to start or would
you recommend another section? Your opinion would be valued.

Dear Genners,

Is anyone researching the families of brothers Franz STEINBERG MD born
abt 1914 Breslau Germany (now Wroclaw Poland),immigrated 1938 to St.
Louis died 2000 in St. Louis, and Michael STEINBERG music critic born
Breslau 1928? Michael immigrated to St. Louis 1943. He eventually
moved to Boston and then to San Francisco. He died 2009 in
Minnesota. They were cousins of my grandfather Mark Charles STEINBERG
(1881 St. Louis - 1951 St. Louis).

I've been told that their mother,Margaretha (not sure of spelling!) STEINBERG,
also immigrated to St.Louis in 1943 and worked for a time in the art library
at Washington University.

Through learning about the family of Michael, Franz and Margaretha, I hope to
find out where my grandfather's father, Charles STEINBERG, was born and who
his parents were.

Thank you in advance to anyone who can send me information about this family.

Many thanks to those who answered my question and corrected "Ginty's Run
Cemetery" to "Girty's Run".

Also for explaining that the baby's cause of death was "inanition", a word
with which I was unfamiliar.

Much appreciated.

Dear Friends,

Name Changes database NEW on IGS website
The names of some 300,000 Israelis who legally changed their name after
Israel became a country can be searched at the Israel Genealogical Society
(IGS) website at:

http://www.isragen.org.il/siteFiles/1/618/7927.asp

The results are the name of the person before and after the change and the
date (sometimes only month/year) when the name change was posted in the
Yalkut Hapirsumim (Official Publications) of the Israeli government.

You must search for names using the Hebrew alphabet.
If you do not know how to spell a name in Hebrew, use Stephen P. Morse's
English to Hebrew transliteration at:

http://stevemorse.org/hebrew/eng2heb.html

The project was made possible by a grant in 2010 by the International
Association of Jewish Genealogical Societies
We hope this serves all family researchers
