and Embassy Experiences for the 31st IAJGS International Conference on Jewish Genealogy to take place in Washington, DC >from August 14-19. If you have been putting off registering for the conference, you should be aware that you may register on-site at the conference hotel, but the entire 6-day experience will cost you $30 more than if you register today. Why wait? If you could not make up your mind about which SIG meal you want to attend, you had better make the decision, because if you do not, you will not be able to attend these stimulating events.

His comments will be followed by IAJGS awards presentations. The evening will conclude with a the internationally known performers, the Robyn Helzner Trio.

Yizkor Book Project, July 2011
#general
Lance Ackerfeld <lance.ackerfeld@...>
Shalom,
Whilst the Guinness Book of Records Team are seemingly quite apathetic to our impressive figure of 73 new books, entries and updated projects during July 2011, we at the Yizkor Book Project, are more than very pleased with this achievement. Indeed, there were a number of milestones that took place this month as we completed adding in the last set of the 18 Kremenets booklets (details below), thanks to the dedicated coordination of Ron Doctor, the meticulous editing by Ellen Garshick and excellent translations by Sara Mages, Thia Persoff and others. The work on these booklets continues as we speak and we look forward to seeing further additions to them as time goes on. This month also saw the culmination of two online Yizkor Books. The first being the "Memorial Book of the Community of Ostrow-Mazowiecka" book which was coordinated by Judie Goldstein, who also did the bulk of the translations in this project and who deserves a heartfelt "yashar koach" for seeing the project through to its successful completion. I would also like to thank Stanley Diamond for his important assistance behind the scenes and particularly, in helping assemble the images >from the book to be placed online. Quite a team! The other book that was completely placed online, this month, was "The destruction of Proskurov", the translation of which, was kindly donated by Anne M. Brennan. And speaking of completed books, the Yizkor Book Project recently set up the Yizkor Books in Print initiative under the guiding wings of Joel Alpert to prepare hard copies of the books that have completely translated within the Yizkor Book Project. After sending out a call for volunteers, Joel and I were thrilled by the messages of support that we received for this initiative and also the encouraging response >from volunteers who offered their skills in the myriad tasks required for this project. However, in spite of the many offers of assistance that we did receive, there are a still a number of positions that we still need to fill: - A Publicity Specialist to take care of publicizing these books in as many directions as possible. - Document Coordinator to submit applications for Copyrights, Library of Congress Numbers, ISBN numbers and keeping track of submittals and responses. If one of these positions suits your abilities or you would like to learn more about this new initiative, please look at: http://www.jewishgen.org/Yizkor/ybip.html If you do find a task that you would like to take on, please contact Joel Alpert via the link appearing on this page. And on responses, I was also pleased by the incredible response for my cry for html help and our ranks have now been joined by Jason Hallgarten who has already shown himself to be an important boost to our little team. There are a number of others who have shown interest and are trying their hand at preparing our web pages and we look forward to expanding our team even further. We also received encouraging response >from a number of volunteers who are have now begun helping prepare the necrology database files - help that was sorely needed.

Update on the All Galicia Database
#general
Pamela Weisberger
Gesher Galicia recently announced the launch of our new search engine,
The All Galicia Database (AGD), and already people are making discoveries which are taking their research in entirely new directions. The database is at: http://www.search.geshergalicia.org and features 172,954 records >from 41 different data sources, covering everything from birth, death, marriage and divorce records to phone books, schooland landowner records, all >from the former Austro-Hungarian province of Galicia. A few additions and clarifications are in order: I neglected to thank one very important member of our team. Tony Kahane of London, England, coordinated the extraordinary indexing work for Zbaraz, Ukraine which is still continuing. Kudos to Tony and also to Brooke Schreier Ganz for the creation of the search engine. Surnames in birth records--why are some missing? When searching birth records, you'll notice many results with "No Surname" listed. Many Galician marriages were religious ones, not civil, and therefore not recognized by the Austrian government. Consequently, the child would be registered as illegitimate and no surname noted in the record. By looking at the parents surnames, you can deduce the child's, but sometimes the father is missing >from the record, and only the mother -- and mother's surname -- is listed, so be sure to also search based on the maiden name. Also keep in mind that many Galician children ended up keeping the mother's maiden name, adding to the confusion. Can I search/sort by town field? Can I limit my searches to certain years? There is no search button by town or year, but after searching by surname, when the results come up, look at the left-hand column. Under "Record Sources" it will display the databases that have those names and the number of results. By clicking on the town or database of interest, the results will then be sorted by town. Under the left-hand "Year" heading you can choose to view records for a specific year. And don't forget to click on the + plus sign to view the drop-down details on each record. The icon to the far right of each record tells you quickly the record type. Coming soon will be the following completed indexes: Birth records for Zbarazh -- 1897 and 1899 Cadastral (Property) Records for Rohatyn -- 1846 Land records for Buczacz -- 1879 Land records for Grzymalow -- 19th Century Land records for Krystynopol -- 1784 Residents of apartment buildings in the Jewish Quarter of Lviv -- late 19th and early 20th Centuries School records for Zbarazh -- 1911-12; 1912-13; 1913-14; 1927-28 We are in the process of indexing data >from property, voter and land records already obtained by Gesher Galicia, along with the remainder of the still-being-transcribed birth, marriage, and death records from Lviv...and more! Why should you check the All Galicia Database and be curious about Galician records if your family came >from Russia, Congress Poland, Lithuania, Bukovina, Hungary, Bohemia or Romania? The Jewish population moved around a lot, even in the 19th century. Historically there was always a relationship between Hungary and Galicia. Families >from Czernovitz routinely traveled to places like Lviv (Lwow, Lemberg) or Brody. Bohemia and Moravia were part of the same Austro-Hungarian Empire as Galicia and people traversed the land surprisingly often for trade, match-making, and business. LItvaks might have had issue with Galitzianers, but the famous stories of ill-fated marriage pairings abound. Train travel was relatively easy then and sometimes en route to America or England families left their place of birth for a temporary way-station in other cities. Sally Bruckheimer just wrote, after searching the AGD that there are usually no "clear answers in genealogy." She believed that her LINDER family had been >from Odessa and Berdichev, but found many people with that surname living in Lviv, 350 miles away, so now she has new paths to explore. Check out your surnames on the All Galicia Database, and see where it might lead you too!

JewishGen Discussion Group #JewishGen Update on the All Galicia Database
#general
Pamela Weisberger
Gesher Galicia recently announced the launch of our new search engine,
The All Galicia Database (AGD), and already people are making discoveries which are taking their research in entirely new directions. The database is at: http://www.search.geshergalicia.org and features 172,954 records >from 41 different data sources, covering everything from birth, death, marriage and divorce records to phone books, schooland landowner records, all >from the former Austro-Hungarian province of Galicia. A few additions and clarifications are in order: I neglected to thank one very important member of our team. Tony Kahane of London, England, coordinated the extraordinary indexing work for Zbaraz, Ukraine which is still continuing. Kudos to Tony and also to Brooke Schreier Ganz for the creation of the search engine. Surnames in birth records--why are some missing? When searching birth records, you'll notice many results with "No Surname" listed. Many Galician marriages were religious ones, not civil, and therefore not recognized by the Austrian government. Consequently, the child would be registered as illegitimate and no surname noted in the record. By looking at the parents surnames, you can deduce the child's, but sometimes the father is missing >from the record, and only the mother -- and mother's surname -- is listed, so be sure to also search based on the maiden name. Also keep in mind that many Galician children ended up keeping the mother's maiden name, adding to the confusion. Can I search/sort by town field? Can I limit my searches to certain years? There is no search button by town or year, but after searching by surname, when the results come up, look at the left-hand column. Under "Record Sources" it will display the databases that have those names and the number of results. By clicking on the town or database of interest, the results will then be sorted by town. Under the left-hand "Year" heading you can choose to view records for a specific year. And don't forget to click on the + plus sign to view the drop-down details on each record. The icon to the far right of each record tells you quickly the record type. Coming soon will be the following completed indexes: Birth records for Zbarazh -- 1897 and 1899 Cadastral (Property) Records for Rohatyn -- 1846 Land records for Buczacz -- 1879 Land records for Grzymalow -- 19th Century Land records for Krystynopol -- 1784 Residents of apartment buildings in the Jewish Quarter of Lviv -- late 19th and early 20th Centuries School records for Zbarazh -- 1911-12; 1912-13; 1913-14; 1927-28 We are in the process of indexing data >from property, voter and land records already obtained by Gesher Galicia, along with the remainder of the still-being-transcribed birth, marriage, and death records from Lviv...and more! Why should you check the All Galicia Database and be curious about Galician records if your family came >from Russia, Congress Poland, Lithuania, Bukovina, Hungary, Bohemia or Romania? The Jewish population moved around a lot, even in the 19th century. Historically there was always a relationship between Hungary and Galicia. Families >from Czernovitz routinely traveled to places like Lviv (Lwow, Lemberg) or Brody. Bohemia and Moravia were part of the same Austro-Hungarian Empire as Galicia and people traversed the land surprisingly often for trade, match-making, and business. LItvaks might have had issue with Galitzianers, but the famous stories of ill-fated marriage pairings abound. Train travel was relatively easy then and sometimes en route to America or England families left their place of birth for a temporary way-station in other cities. Sally Bruckheimer just wrote, after searching the AGD that there are usually no "clear answers in genealogy." She believed that her LINDER family had been >from Odessa and Berdichev, but found many people with that surname living in Lviv, 350 miles away, so now she has new paths to explore. Check out your surnames on the All Galicia Database, and see where it might lead you too!

Yizkor Book Project, July 2011
#poland
Lance Ackerfeld <lance.ackerfeld@...>
Shalom,
Whilst the Guinness Book of Records Team are seemingly quite apathetic to our impressive figure of 73 new books, entries and updated projects during July 2011, we at the Yizkor Book Project, are more than very pleased with this achievement. Indeed, there were a number of milestones that took place this month as we completed adding in the last set of the 18 Kremenets booklets (details below), thanks to the dedicated coordination of Ron Doctor, the meticulous editing by Ellen Garshick and excellent translations by Sara Mages, Thia Persoff and others. The work on these booklets continues as we speak and we look forward to seeing further additions to them as time goes on. This month also saw the culmination of two online Yizkor Books. The first being the "Memorial Book of the Community of Ostrow-Mazowiecka" book which was coordinated by Judie Goldstein, who also did the bulk of the translations in this project and who deserves a heartfelt "yashar koach" for seeing the project through to its successful completion. I would also like to thank Stanley Diamond for his important assistance behind the scenes and particularly, in helping assemble the images >from the book to be placed online. Quite a team! The other book that was completely placed online, this month, was "The destruction of Proskurov", the translation of which, was kindly donated by Anne M. Brennan. And speaking of completed books, the Yizkor Book Project recently set up the Yizkor Books in Print initiative under the guiding wings of Joel Alpert to prepare hard copies of the books that have completely translated within the Yizkor Book Project. After sending out a call for volunteers, Joel and I were thrilled by the messages of support that we received for this initiative and also the encouraging response >from volunteers who offered their skills in the myriad tasks required for this project. However, in spite of the many offers of assistance that we did receive, there are a still a number of positions that we still need to fill: - A Publicity Specialist to take care of publicizing these books in as many directions as possible. - Document Coordinator to submit applications for Copyrights, Library of Congress Numbers, ISBN numbers and keeping track of submittals and responses. If one of these positions suits your abilities or you would like to learn more about this new initiative, please look at: http://www.jewishgen.org/Yizkor/ybip.html If you do find a task that you would like to take on, please contact Joel Alpert via the link appearing on this page. And on responses, I was also pleased by the incredible response for my cry for html help and our ranks have now been joined by Jason Hallgarten who has already shown himself to be an important boost to our little team. There are a number of others who have shown interest and are trying their hand at preparing our web pages and we look forward to expanding our team even further. We also received encouraging response >from a number of volunteers who are have now begun helping prepare the necrology database files - help that was sorely needed. As far as the July figures go, during this last month we have added these 9 new projects: - Eger, Hungary (The Jews of Eger) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Eger/Eger.html - Hatvan, Hungary (Recollections (memoirs) of deportees and labor servicemen from Hatvan) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Hatvan/Hatvan.html- Kremenets', Ukraine (Voice of Kremenets Emigrants in Israel and the Diaspora -

Lance Ackerfeld <lance.ackerfeld@...>
Shalom,
Whilst the Guinness Book of Records Team are seemingly quite apathetic to our impressive figure of 73 new books, entries and updated projects during July 2011, we at the Yizkor Book Project, are more than very pleased with this achievement. Indeed, there were a number of milestones that took place this month as we completed adding in the last set of the 18 Kremenets booklets (details below), thanks to the dedicated coordination of Ron Doctor, the meticulous editing by Ellen Garshick and excellent translations by Sara Mages, Thia Persoff and others. The work on these booklets continues as we speak and we look forward to seeing further additions to them as time goes on. This month also saw the culmination of two online Yizkor Books. The first being the "Memorial Book of the Community of Ostrow-Mazowiecka" book which was coordinated by Judie Goldstein, who also did the bulk of the translations in this project and who deserves a heartfelt "yashar koach" for seeing the project through to its successful completion. I would also like to thank Stanley Diamond for his important assistance behind the scenes and particularly, in helping assemble the images >from the book to be placed online. Quite a team! The other book that was completely placed online, this month, was "The destruction of Proskurov", the translation of which, was kindly donated by Anne M. Brennan. And speaking of completed books, the Yizkor Book Project recently set up the Yizkor Books in Print initiative under the guiding wings of Joel Alpert to prepare hard copies of the books that have completely translated within the Yizkor Book Project. After sending out a call for volunteers, Joel and I were thrilled by the messages of support that we received for this initiative and also the encouraging response >from volunteers who offered their skills in the myriad tasks required for this project. However, in spite of the many offers of assistance that we did receive, there are a still a number of positions that we still need to fill: - A Publicity Specialist to take care of publicizing these books in as many directions as possible. - Document Coordinator to submit applications for Copyrights, Library of Congress Numbers, ISBN numbers and keeping track of submittals and responses. If one of these positions suits your abilities or you would like to learn more about this new initiative, please look at: http://www.jewishgen.org/Yizkor/ybip.html If you do find a task that you would like to take on, please contact Joel Alpert via the link appearing on this page. And on responses, I was also pleased by the incredible response for my cry for html help and our ranks have now been joined by Jason Hallgarten who has already shown himself to be an important boost to our little team. There are a number of others who have shown interest and are trying their hand at preparing our web pages and we look forward to expanding our team even further. We also received encouraging response >from a number of volunteers who are have now begun helping prepare the necrology database files - help that was sorely needed. As far as the July figures go, during this last month we have added these 9 new projects: - Eger, Hungary (The Jews of Eger) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Eger/Eger.html - Hatvan, Hungary (Recollections (memoirs) of deportees and labor servicemen from Hatvan) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Hatvan/Hatvan.html- Kremenets', Ukraine (Voice of Kremenets Emigrants in Israel and the Diaspora -

Shalom,
Whilst the Guinness Book of Records Team are seemingly quite apathetic to our impressive figure of 73 new books, entries and updated projects during July 2011, we at the Yizkor Book Project, are more than very pleased with this achievement. Indeed, there were a number of milestones that took place this month as we completed adding in the last set of the 18 Kremenets booklets (details below), thanks to the dedicated coordination of Ron Doctor, the meticulous editing by Ellen Garshick and excellent translations by Sara Mages, Thia Persoff and others. The work on these booklets continues as we speak and we look forward to seeing further additions to them as time goes on. This month also saw the culmination of two online Yizkor Books. The first being the "Memorial Book of the Community of Ostrow-Mazowiecka" book which was coordinated by Judie Goldstein, who also did the bulk of the translations in this project and who deserves a heartfelt "yashar koach" for seeing the project through to its successful completion. I would also like to thank Stanley Diamond for his important assistance behind the scenes and particularly, in helping assemble the images >from the book to be placed online. Quite a team! The other book that was completely placed online, this month, was "The destruction of Proskurov", the translation of which, was kindly donated by Anne M. Brennan. And speaking of completed books, the Yizkor Book Project recently set up the Yizkor Books in Print initiative under the guiding wings of Joel Alpert to prepare hard copies of the books that have completely translated within the Yizkor Book Project. After sending out a call for volunteers, Joel and I were thrilled by the messages of support that we received for this initiative and also the encouraging response >from volunteers who offered their skills in the myriad tasks required for this project. However, in spite of the many offers of assistance that we did receive, there are a still a number of positions that we still need to fill: - A Publicity Specialist to take care of publicizing these books in as many directions as possible. - Document Coordinator to submit applications for Copyrights, Library of Congress Numbers, ISBN numbers and keeping track of submittals and responses. If one of these positions suits your abilities or you would like to learn more about this new initiative, please look at: http://www.jewishgen.org/Yizkor/ybip.html If you do find a task that you would like to take on, please contact Joel Alpert via the link appearing on this page. And on responses, I was also pleased by the incredible response for my cry for html help and our ranks have now been joined by Jason Hallgarten who has already shown himself to be an important boost to our little team. There are a number of others who have shown interest and are trying their hand at preparing our web pages and we look forward to expanding our team even further. We also received encouraging response >from a number of volunteers who are have now begun helping prepare the necrology database files - help that was sorely needed. As far as the July figures go, during this last month we have added these 9 new projects: - Eger, Hungary (The Jews of Eger) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Eger/Eger.html - Hatvan, Hungary (Recollections (memoirs) of deportees and labor servicemen from Hatvan) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Hatvan/Hatvan.html- Kremenets', Ukraine (Voice of Kremenets Emigrants in Israel and the Diaspora -

Indeed, there were a number of milestones that took place this month as we completed adding in the last set of the 18 Kremenets booklets (details below), thanks to the dedicated coordination of Ron Doctor, the meticulous editing by Ellen Garshick and excellent translations by Sara Mages, Thia Persoff and others. The work on these booklets continues as we speak and we look forward to seeing further additions to them as time goes on. This month also saw the culmination of two online Yizkor Books. The first being the "Memorial Book of the Community of Ostrow-Mazowiecka" book which was coordinated by Judie Goldstein, who also did the bulk of the translations in this project and who deserves a heartfelt "yashar koach" for seeing the project through to its successful completion. I would also like to thank Stanley Diamond for his important assistance behind the scenes and particularly, in helping assemble the images >from the book to be placed online. Quite a team! The other book that was completely placed online, this month, was "The destruction of Proskurov", the translation of which, was kindly donated by Anne M. Brennan. And speaking of completed books, the Yizkor Book Project recently set up the Yizkor Books in Print initiative under the guiding wings of Joel Alpert to prepare hard copies of the books that have completely translated within the Yizkor Book Project. After sending out a call for volunteers, Joel and I were thrilled by the messages of support that we received for this initiative and also the encouraging response >from volunteers who offered their skills in the myriad tasks required for this project. However, in spite of the many offers of assistance that we did receive, there are a still a number of positions that we still need to fill: - A Publicity Specialist to take care of publicizing these books in as many directions as possible. - Document Coordinator to submit applications for Copyrights, Library of Congress Numbers, ISBN numbers and keeping track of submittals and responses. If one of these positions suits your abilities or you would like to learn more about this new initiative, please look at: http://www.jewishgen.org/Yizkor/ybip.html If you do find a task that you would like to take on, please contact Joel Alpert via the link appearing on this page. And on responses, I was also pleased by the incredible response for my cry for html help and our ranks have now been joined by Jason Hallgarten who has already shown himself to be an important boost to our little team. There are a number of others who have shown interest and are trying their hand at preparing our web pages and we look forward to expanding our team even further. We also received encouraging response >from a number of volunteers who are have now begun helping prepare the necrology database files - help that was sorely needed. As far as the July figures go, during this last month we have added these 9 new projects: - Eger, Hungary (The Jews of Eger) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Eger/Eger.html - Hatvan, Hungary (Recollections (memoirs) of deportees and labor servicemen from Hatvan) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Hatvan/Hatvan.html- Kremenets', Ukraine (Voice of Kremenets Emigrants in Israel and the Diaspora -
