Wondering if I can't access this data base as I'm not an advanced Jewishgen member or I'm just doing something wrong?
My Mother's friend told me last week that she went to school in Rivne. Her family was Jewish and she was born in 1925. I'm therefore wondering if her family, 'Kantor' might be included in this list. Would be lovely to find it and show her. Many thanks.

It took place in Posada Rezion (possibly) on the 2nd (15th) August 1906 at 6 pm. The rabbi of the Rezion religious district, Yosek-Berek Nayfeld, personally appeared along with Israel-Shaya Pedro, single, 20 years old, the Son of Itsik-Meer and Mariam, nee Friedman, who was born and lives with his parents in the settlement Drobin with Sura-Esther Feningstein, a damsel, 25 years old, daughter of Chaim-Sholom and Gena-Lei, nee Reybek, who was born and lives in the village of Rezion with her parents. In the presence of witnesses Abram Krechanovsky, 65 years old and Jonas Lininsky, 47 years old, both merchants, residents of the city of Retzion, announced to us that yesterday, at 9 pm, a religious marriage union was concluded between Israel-Shaya Pedro and Sura- Esther Feningstein. This marriage was preceded by a three-fold announcement in the Drobinsk and Rezion synagogues - on June 24, July 1 and 8 this year. There were no obstacles to the marriage. The father stated that he allowed his son to marry. The newlyweds stated that the prenuptial agreement was not concluded between them. This act, upon reading by the rabbi to the newlyweds and to witnesses, was signed by them and by us.

Hi from Paris,
Dear Catherine,
This link to our "Journal Officiel des lois de la République, (JO)" where naturalization decrees are published, is working properly :
https://gallica.bnf.fr/ark:/12148/cb34378481r/date?rk=85837;2
With name "Margolin", you get some replies including "Leon" : I attach pictures of the 2 pages, the one with Margolin, the last one of published list where he is listed, with decree's date.
To get a full copy of his naturalization file,, inquiry is :
"Naturalization file of Leon MARGOLIN, born 1878 July 3rd in Bratolioubovka (Russia), French by decree of 1932, August 21st, published in JO of 1932, August 28th page 9389.
I try to find data for Meites couple.

Hi all,

Looking for the grave of Khana or Anna EFROIMSKY (or EFROIMSKAYA). She may have been buried in Eastern Russia or in the eastern part of USSR during the war. Originally from Camenca, Moldova, she may have passed away and have been buried where she was evacuated to. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Guy

Until 1919 all of Suwalki was in Poland. Then in 1919, the northernmost part of it went into Lithuania with the WW1 Peace Settlement. You can try either JRI Poland or Litvak SIG to search for them.

They spoke in Ashkenazi Hebrew (as we see from the Hebrew name transliterated as Devoira) and would have pronounced the father’s name “Mot (rhymes with pot)-iss” which is indeed short for מתתיהו, which they would have pronounced “Mottissyohu”

Hello 

I am looking for the date and decret number of Mr Leon Margolin born 1879 died 1961 in Paris
I tried to find it on Gallica but the site is not working very well and I was not successful. Any help would be appreciated
More tricky I have been trying to find the death date of Marco Meites (born in Argentina in 1911) and naturalized french in 1932 and where he was buried with his wife Helene Landau without success. He was a pharmacist in the 10 th district of Paris.  
Best regards

In April 2020 we announced that resumption of sale of past editions of Landsmen, the Journal of the Suwalk-Lomza Interest Group, was planned for the Fall of 2020.  Unexpected problems and the current Pandemic  continue to prevent achievement of that goal.  A revised date will be  announced here as soon as it can be realistically set.

Those who are not acquainted with the Suwalk-Lomza Interest Group can find a statement of its goals and efforts at

The name Alter was given so he would live a long life, for luck.  Female version of that name is Alta.
If this is indeed the same person, perhaps Efraim was another one of his names - Alter-Efraim or Efraim-Alter.

Mike Vayser

One of my relatives in some documents is named "Alter" Kukuk in Poland in about 1850.  In another document he seems to be named "Efraim" Kukuk.  I'm wondering whether the name Alter was maybe given to him in his older age, something like an "elder"?   Yet, his grandson was named Alter Kukuk and kept that name even though he came to the US at 18 years old.  Any thoughts?

Anyone know if it's possible to opt-out of health research uses of one's dna at 23andMe? I seem to recall that this is possible, but may have changed in the many years since I joined.

Forgive me, but I posted the wrong ViewMate number for the following submission. The VM # should have read 89920.

I’ve posted a postcard my grandmother Helen Landes received from her father, Chaim Landes of Buchach.  The postcard was sent on the occasion of her marriage in 1912 to my grandfather, Isador Noschkes and begins with the worlds, “Gluck Auf”. (Good luck!)

I never met my grandmother and so would love to be able to know what he wrote her. 

The postcard is on ViewMate at the following address....
