Dear h-SIGgers,
I've learned very recently through ViewMate, via expert genner Dora
Pataricza, that my great-grandfather, Meier (Miksa/Max) GATTMANN,
committed suicide at the age of 71, in 1882. Cause of death is listed
on the LDS film I viewed (642980) as "onakasztas fuladas" (please
supply diacriticals if you know Hungarian), i.e. self-administered
asphyxia (by hanging). After the initial shock and horror, I'm now
wanting to know more. Does anyone know if there are online newspapers

from Budapest for the days following 17 June, 1882? He lived in

District VI; last address was Sugar ut 59 (I believe the street no
longer exists; may be modern-day Andrassy ut)

Hi everyone,

I made great progress in my family tree. I was able to find the
earliest of ancestors - 3rd Great Grandfather Jacob Schonfeld
(1796-1856) and his brother Josef Schonfeld (not to be confused with
Jacob's son Jozsef). I found all the death certificates, none of the
marriage certificates and none of the birth certificates. Help, where
do I go >from here.

I am trying to understand where Hrabkov, Saris might have been in the
1860s-1890s and where it would be located today.

I do find a Hrabkov, Saros, which was in the Hungarian Kingdom, part of
the Austrian-Hungarian Empire at that time and is now in Slovakia. I do
find a Hrabacov, East Bohemia, Czech Republic that exists today but no
mention of a Saros or Saris there.

Any assistance would be appreciated.

for what it's worth, "greek orthodox" (or "eastern orthodox") is
referred to as "greek eastern" (gorogkeleti) or "greek catholic"
(gorogkatolikus) in hungarian.

(google translated the author field entry as: "Board of Mukachevo
Greek Catholic diocese. Uzhgorod," using russian, rather than
ukrainian, to english translation.)

names are always a genealogical question!

the hungarian version of susan is zsuzsanna, which comes >from the
biblical hebrew shoshanah, which means lily (and is often
mistranslated as rose). other common forms of it are zsuzsa and
zsuzsi.

"sosze" would be pronounced "shoh-seh", which i'm not familiar with,
but it's possible.

the jewishgen given names database yielded: "shosa/shosha", "shoshe",
"sase", "shosha", using the "hungary" option (whatever that means,
since almost all the names are listed as "yiddish" anyways, and the
spelling clearly DOESN'T follow hungarian orthography).

for the purposes of a ketubah, the mother's hebrew name isn't
normally used, but if you need it, sussa laya can be spelled
sin-vav-sin-heh lamed-alef-heh. (preferably with a sin rather than
a samekh, despite yiddish spelling rules, since the name is
originally biblical hebrew.)

ps. to research the name more thoroughly, you might try to find your
ggm's birth record (if the mormons have the records on microfilm).
the birth registers often (but not always) included the jewish name,
in hebrew letters.

Shalom,

To begin with, I am very excited to inform you that no less than 5 new
Translation Project funds were initiated over this last month:

- Briceni, Moldova
- Jadow, Poland
- Sierpc, Poland
- Smarhon (Smorgon), Belarus
- Sokyryany (Sekiryani, Bessarabia), Ukraine

Now, for those aren't familiar with the concept, the Translation Funds are
set up to collect donations for the professional translation of the Yizkor
Books. Since finding a skilled volunteer translators capable of taking on
the translation of a whole book is usually not realistic, our recommendation
is to set up a fund, within JewishGen, into which all of those people
interested in a particular community book can help support its translation
and for which donations are tax-exempt for US citizens. So if there is a
book you would like to see translated, please contact me and I'll explain
the ins and outs of how these fund work. Note that you'll find a full list
of our ongoing projects at:
http://www.jewishgen.org/JewishGen-erosity/v_projectslist.asp?project_cat=23
and any financial support you are able to offer would be gratefully
received.

Other good news this last month was the kind donation to the Yizkor Book
Project of the Kielce, Poland book "The Martyrdom and Extermination of the
Jews in Kielce During World War II" by Prof. Krzysztof Urbanski, the first
sections of which have already been added. Please note that in recent times
we have received a number of complete books which are, slowly but surely,
being added into our Yizkor Book projects.

And on completed books, the first books to roll out of our Yizkor Books in
Print Project will very shortly be available. If you wish to know further
about this project, please go to http://www.jewishgen.org/Yizkor/ybip.html
which has all you would like to know about this steadily growing project.

Before detailing last month's statistics, I would personally like to wish
you all a joyful Purim and suggest that if you have a chance, read some of
the many recollections of this holiday in our online Yizkor Books. In some
small way, we are keeping up the fond memories of this vibrant Jewish
holiday in those multitudes of communities that no longer exist.

Dear all,

It is with a very heavy heart that we must inform you of the death this
morning of the Co-Coordinator of the Rom-SIG, Stephanie Weiner.

A month ago Stephanie informed us she had been diagnosed with pancreatic
cancer which had metastasized to the liver and possibly the lungs. It was
inoperable. The estimate of longevity was 3-6 months and possibly up to
another 3 months with treatment. Her outlook was excellent. She said "this
is
the hand I've been dealt, and I'm dealing with it." But life has a way of
its
own. Last week Stephanie had a heart attack and a stroke.Sadly she passed
away today, March 1, 2012.

About 3 months ago Stephanie took on the job of leading the effort to
create a new ROM-SIG web site. It was her desire to see this project to
completion but that was not to be. We will complete the web site according
to the
plans that she laid out and dedicate it to her memory.

She will be buried as she wished in Beth Israel Cemetery in Woodbridge,
NJ, USA

Thanks to the efforts of Avrami and Warren, to whom we most grateful, a
special Stephanie Weiner Memorial Fund is now up and active on the Rom-SIG

JewishGen-erosity site for those who wish to donate in her memory at:

We will greatly miss her advice and enthusiasm! May her memory be for a
blessing!

I found my H. MARX in a free on-line Manhattan Telephone directory. His
name was Herman MARX and his sister, Nelli, was married to Alfred
ODENHEIMER. Nelli and Alfred arrived in the US in 1940. If anyone has a
connection, please contact me directly. Thank you,

Barbara Algaze, Los Angeles, California <Algaze3@...>

The moderator is correct. The street I was looking for is Nagle
** Avenue, ** NOT Nagle **Street.** ===============>

I am looking for information >from a 1940 City Directory or Telephone Book
for New York City.
I want to know if an H. MARX is listed in Manhattan at 141 Nagle Street, and
if so, what his first name was. [MOD NOTE: I had never heard of Nagle Street
so I looked it up. There is a Nagle ** Avenue ** in the Fort George section of
far northern Manhattan (New York County) south of Inwood and north of Washington
Heights. Google didn't find a Nagle **Street**.]
