Digest #1408
Hello all,
I've attached 12 pages of the document Ilya referenced listing of numbers of Volyn Jews in 175--a much more manageable file. Perhaps someone can transcribe it?

Re: Migration Eastward from Germanic countries

Is Reissen a town in Germany, or are you referring to a town in Lithuania?
I tried Jewishgen's town finder, and couldn't locate the name in either country.
for what it's worth - Steinberg is German

Bade was politically very close to Franceand was dependant after 1806 from French Empire (Napoléeon 1st).
It should have follwed the law edicted the 20 of July requiring that all jews take a family

I think you are right. Another member emailed me the following:
The place that Herman Fabian identified as his birthplace is, beyond any doubt,
Velyki Heivtsi/Nagygejōc/Gevitz present-day Ukraine.

Hi Matthew,
You may have a name change, or name anglicisation (from migration) as Caplan and Wolf are not particularly Suwalki type names. Wolf is a common first name.
You can try Litvak SIG or JRI
