Subject: Re: The surname RAPPEL For more info on the "f"-"p" switch - which is apparently not uncommon - look up Grimm's Law. The switch might also have happened in other Eastern-European names.

Re: What would be the correct Bar Mitzvah date in 1961
#general
Jx. Gx.
Hello Fredel Fruhman. Thank you for your very detailed and informative explanation about finding out the correct Halacha Hebrew date for my late cousin's Bar Mitzvah. The Chabad site asked for the time of day that he was born, but I did not have that information, which may have been the reason its calculation was slightly off. I knew the occasion was on a Saturday and since the hebcal and Chabad calculations were only a couple days apart I took the closest shabbat after those days, which was after his 13th Hebrew birthday. That came out to be July 29th. (I neglected to mention in my posting the "after" part.) As you correctly indicated this isn't the correct methodology and won't work in every case because there are other factors in play as pointed out by yourself and several other people.
Once again, you have helped and I appreciate it very much. Jeffrey Gee Arizona |

After reading the responses posted after my posting, out of curiosity, I looked up the Bar Mitzvah date for my dad. Born 12/16/1920 before sunset which is Tevet 5, 5681. The circumstances of his Bar Mitzvah were that his oldest brother was getting married! The wedding day was January 6, 1934 (Tevet 19, 5694), a Sunday. The day before, Tevet 18, 5694 was the date of his Bar Mitzvah - I have dated photos. My paternal grandparents were Orthodox and followed the rules and laws closely almost all of the time. In this case, they did not. It seems that one weekend of festivities took place while everyone was "in town."

You might try asking at the Jewish Museum of London; it holds a lot of information but... I expect that it's closed now. In any case, staff members might respond to email queries. Good luck! Susan J Gordon |

Beider has Rapel as from the noun Rappel German for craze or crazy mood. It also has Rafel which goes to Rafal - which is Rafael as was suggested.

My husband’s great-grandfather was Louis Raffel (later Raphael) born 1 April 1854 in (per his death certificate) Lobaschni / Lobaschni, German-Poland. His Death Certificate lists his parents as Arthur Myron Raphael and Nancy Lory (Levy). His marriage certificate lists his parents as Abram Raffel and Rosa Meyer. I would love to know the location of his birthplace and where the records are located. Michaele Burris |

Phonetically, Gendha reminds me of Gęsta which is pronounced Gensta. However, ulica Gęsta was a short street with numbers not exceeding 20, thus there was no such address as 73 Gęsta Street. Gęsta Street was known for several tanneries (in Polish, see Wikipedia). At present, there is only one house at Gęsta Street address, number 1 (ulica Gęsta 1). Other former Gęsta Street addresses have been renamed to Wiślana Street addresses.

There is a Jewish name Raffel. Is it possible that “f” and “p” got switched somewhere along the way?

I would take the Ancestry, which can be uploaded to MyHeritage and FTDNA. It will give you plenty of data to start with.
There will plenty of opportunities later on for more discounted tests, for Father's Day, Christmas etc. -- Yohanan LOEFFLER Melbourne, Australia Researching (main surnames): From Austria, Slovakia: LOFFLER / LEFLER, LEDERER, SCHNEIDER, NATHAN, SEELENFRIED, ZAPPERT.

To Whom It May Concern:
I am new to jewishgen and I often see people asking for translations of rather large documents. Is it the expectation that these documents will be translated free of charge?
Thank you.

Hi everyone,
I just learned that two different family members were conscripted into the Russian Imperial army, in 1839 and in 1863. Is it possible to find records for those individuals? Are they online or can anyone recommend experts who research this? Thanks David -- Best Regards, David Levine San Francisco, CA, USA davidelevine@... Researching:
