Dear LitvakSIG,JewishGenners, and Worldwide JGS members,

The purpose of this message is to repeat the solicitation for members for a
group researching the VILNA, Lithuania uezd, not the whole of VILNA Gubernia.
This district includes the following:

The City of VILNA

Towns in the first uchazstok [subdistrict]

Boguslaviski, Gedrovitz,
Gelvon, Intkurkes, Maishagola, Mikaliskes, Moliat, Musnik, Nemenchin,
Paberzhe, Shirvint, Tsiobikishi, Verkiai;

and in the second uchazstok:
Bystritsa, Ilya, Mitskunai, Redamina, Rukoiniai,
Shalchininkai, smusk, Varniai, Yoniskis

We currently are seeking people interested in this uezd willing to participate
and contribute so that we may purchase, translate, and make available the data

from a mid 19th Century Revision List for this district.

1. BACKGROUND

There are many reasons for trying to obtain revison lists which were kept on
an uyezd (district) basis: to provide as complete a census as possible for
every single person; you can trace brothers, sisters and other relatives of
ancestors you did not know existed but who become apparant. You are given the
patronymic of the men (at least). This takes you back at least one more
generation.

Revision Lists for districts also prove the case pattern of families being
from
areas, not just towns. Our ancestors moved for purposes of marriage,
education, employment, to avoid conscription, etc. When daughters married
they became members of their husband's households, and were subsequently
listed on revision lists in that way. Sometimes a man married into a
wealthier or more respected, perhaps rabinical family, and took the surname of
the bride. These things are shown in Revision Lists.

2. FUNDING

We are now collecting funds for this effort. The benchmark donation for this
is US$ 100 - 200. Any amount, whether it is $25 or $50 is welcome. Individuals
should donate based on their level of interest and participation in this
group. We are seeking these funds now such that we can proceed within a short
time to begin the procurement, followed shortly by the translation and data
entry tasks.

Early organizational efforts asked that checks be sent to uyezd coordinators.
Now we want you to send ALL funds for VILNA Uezd research projects to:

Peggy Freedman
LitvakSIG Treasurer
245 Dalrymple Road, Atlanta, GA 30328

Make the checks out to LitvakSIG and note what the contribution is for in the
Memo field of the check [VILNA UEZD Research Group]

3.REPORT >from PEGGY FREEDMAN <peggyf@mindspring.com> Re: Foreign Currency


We are receiving many questions about making donations in various foreign
currencies. I can not give one, universal answer, but I would like to
share my experience so far.

We have deposited checks drawn on British banks (in pounds) and Canadian
banks (in US dollars) Our bank refused to exchange a check for Israeli
shekls, saying that the fees might be more than the amount of the check
(150 shekels). Some people have said that they will purchase US dollar
denominated traveler's checks and send them, but I have not received any of
these yet. If you have done this successfully, please let me know what to
advise people!

VOLUNTEER NEEDED--
If there are any readers who have accounts in both US dollars and their
local currency (especially Israel!), and are willing to exchange funds for
our members, please let me know privately at peggyf@mindspring.com.


4. A FEW WORDS >from DAVID HOFFMAN ON FUNDING

As to the (tax deductable) contributions - the various uezd research groups
have asked for $100 to $200 contributions (and have in some cases received
very much more) because buying a revision list is an "all or none" process.
You either have the funds to acquire it and pay for it's translation or you
don't. But nobody has been or will be turned away who wanted to make $25
contributions which was what they could afford or justify in terms of their
personal interest in an uyezd." [End of David Hoffmans comments]

If anyone comes across the Hochenberg name in Keidan or any other town =

I wonder if anyone can come up with an explanation to a problem I have come up
against in my research.
My gt gt grandfather was called Nachman Zukerman and going by a marriage
authorisation document >from the office of the chief Rabbi for his daughter the
family
came >from Kalvarija in Lithuania.
Family members informed me that during WWII some family members went to New
Zealand to stay with the other side of the family who emmigrated there instead
of the UK, it was always believed to be Nachans brother's family..
I have traced the movements of that family form Hull to Portsea before
emmigrating to Australia then onto New Zealand.
The problem I have is this, the "root" of the New Zealand tree is a gentleman
called Nachman Zukerman ! I have his Australian naturalizaion document from
1904 showing he was born in Semiatach Bilsk Grodna 8th September 1850.
My Nachman was also born around 1850, both professions are Picture Dealer !.
Now I know they cannot be the same man was my gt gt grandfather is buried in
Manchester and the other is buried in New Zealand.
They cannot be brothers with the same name so what is the answer, I assumed
cousins but could there be another explanation ? some people believe that the
Austalian Nachman may have used his brothers identity to emmigrate to
Australia.
Would this be possible ? I am not sure what sort of documents they would have
brought >from Eastern Europe to do such a thing and why would they need to.
It seems the only way to link them is in Eastern Europe , are there any
searchable databases I can search to find them for the 1850s Lithuania ?.
I hope someone can offer me an alternative explanation.

I have a minor problem regarding my father's birthplace. When I was a kid,
my father told me that he was born and grew up in a Lithuanian village
called Shmantze (Simonys). He also told me that his brother was killed by
the Nazis during WW2 in a nearby village called Kupishik (Kupiskis) - when
he (my father) and another brother were living in a village in South
Africa,

However, I got into an argument about this matter with a distant relative
(on my paternal Grandfather's side), who claimed that my father's family
was >from Kupiskis and NOT >from Simonys. On the other hand, another distant
relative (on my paternal grandmother's sside) claimed that the family was

from Simonys. My sister, however, claims that, as far as she knows, my

father was >from Kupiskis.

I later found my father's South African naturalization certificate, on
which it was written that he was born in Simonys. My relative who claimed
that my father was >from Kupiskis, said that this was incorrect, as there
was frequently a lot of confusion as to which village peeople were really
born in. He was probably born in Kupiskis, but registered as having born
in Simonys because his mother was originally >from that town..

The question is, whom do I believe? Do I believe my father, his
naturalization certificate, and my one cousin, who is well known in the
genealogy field, or my sister and my other cousin who is also well known in
the genealogy field?
Is there some way of actually checking this out?

I may mention here, that I recently met an old man aged 95, who was a
contemporary of my father (who would have been 93, had been alive today).
This man was originally >from Kupiskis, now living in Israel. This man
claims that he never knew my father or his family. Does this mean that my
father was not >from Kupiskis, but >from Simonys? Maybe, being elderly, the
old man just has a bad memory, although he did not give that impression. He
recalled other people, whom I knew, perfectly well.

Anyone who could help me sort out this confusion will be gratefully
thanked. If any of you out there came >from one of these villages and knew
my family, maybe you could help me.

Or maybe it isn't all that important, these two villages being ten or
fifteen miles away >from each other.

All the best,

Jordan,

some days ago, you listed info on the Ellis Island Foundation as it was a
going conern with genealogy info. As I have been to Ellis Island, a while
back, and had made a generous contribution to the Islands Wall of Honor, in
order to have my mother's and grandparent's names to appear. While there, I
noticed some names on wall , similar to our family. I punched in the name, and
up came the individual who made the contribuion and the city they are located
in. Currently, Ellis Island organization is trying to obtain substantial funds
to start a data base of those you made a contribution, however, what that data
base may entail is unknown to me.

Hello all!
Gotta hear this!

I visited a relative in New York (father's side). In my photo album she
saw a picture of my grandmother (>from my mother's side) that got her very
excited as she claimed that that person looks familiar.

To claim knowledge of an unrelated woman, >from a different village,
after 55 years, sounded to me like a good story to cap off a long day.
Yet she was adamant and explained to me that she commuted on a local
train in Hungary in 1943 with a particular woman that was carrying geese
to the market. Since she had more geese than allowed on the train my
relative shared the load. This woman and the one in my picture just
looked too much the same.

Did you guess? It turned out to be true and I found a lead on the Roth
family that I had absolutely no information on.

Best regards, Szervusz

Does the H-sig have a digest mode where all messages are held for
a day and then either forwarded, or posted in a data base so that
they can be retrieved on request? You would have a hard time
managing a selective retrieval, but, retrieving each day, at your
option, would seem to be feasible. Of course, "sending to all"
on a daily basis would probably be easiest to administer. Either
process would reduce what I call the "snow flakes" problem.

Hello all!

The Journey to Vaja Elaine Naves
When the World was Whole Charles Fenyvesi

Two remarkable books, two remarkable authors!

Here is one remarkable question: Never mind that these two authors are
cousins and certainly interested in Hungarian genealogy, the question is
why are they not in our discussion group?

The following could be old news in August 1998, however when The Journey
to Vaja was published, Elaine had missed people that Charles had on his
version of the family tree.

Is anyone in contact with Elaine? She might just discover a whole bunch
of new relatives including live ones!

Best regards, Szervusz

My paternal grandfather comes >from Varanno (now Vranov, Slovakia). This is in
Zemplen County. I have checked the LDS catalog and so far they have only
listed birth records for his town and province. I am interested in marriage
records and death records as well. Perhaps LDS has not yet microfilmed all
the records that are in existence. I am thinking of taking a trip to Slovakia
this September. Would anyone know where the vital records of Vranov are
located? Would they be in the town or is there a county archive?
Secondly, my paternal grandmother is of Hungarian Jewish ancestry as well. I
have yet to locate her town of origination. It is most likely she comes from
one of the northeast counties , i.e. Zemplen, Saros, or Ung. Does anyone know
where the archives for Saros County and Ung County are located? Wayne Roth,

Hello friends in Hungary (pajtasok)!

I am looking for a few books published in Hungary that I can't find in
the US, to purchase. CAN YOU HELP?

One of them is Jewish Names Prior to 1787 by Scheiberne Bernat Livia.

Dear H-SIGers,

Works on individual Jewish communities are often full of genealogical
data. I have been compiling a bibliography of works on this topic. This
bibliography is far >from completed, yet it might be of help to researchers of
families >from those communities.

In the first installment, I am sending works that cover communities >from countries
which used to be part of historical Hungary.

Hello all!
Gotta hear this!

I visited a relative in New York (father's side). In my photo album she
saw a picture of my grandmother (>from my mother's side) that got her very
excited as she claimed that that person looks familiar.

To claim knowledge of an unrelated woman, >from a different village,
after 55 years, sounded to me like a good story to cap off a long day.
Yet she was adamant and explained to me that she commuted on a local
train in Hungary in 1943 with a particular woman that was carrying geese
to the market. Since she had more geese than allowed on the train my
relative shared the load. This woman and the one in my picture just
looked too much the same.

Did you guess? It turned out to be true and I found a lead on the Roth
family that I had absolutely no information on.

Best regards, Szervusz

Does the H-sig have a digest mode where all messages are held for
a day and then either forwarded, or posted in a data base so that
they can be retrieved on request? You would have a hard time
managing a selective retrieval, but, retrieving each day, at your
option, would seem to be feasible. Of course, "sending to all"
on a daily basis would probably be easiest to administer. Either
process would reduce what I call the "snow flakes" problem.
