Hello Genners,

I am trying to find siblings of my maternal grandfather Leib Leo HUTTER
(b.1879 Jaroslaw). His parents were David HUTTER and Ruchel KIFLIG (her
parents were Abraham KIFLIG and Judess HERZIG >from Dobromil). He had 3 or 4
brothers and at least one sister Judess (b.1885) who after WWI lived in
Rawa Russka and was pharmacist. He married Sara Charlotte BRUMER (b.1884 in
Zolkiew) and they had 3 daughters. The first one, Laura Lea was born in
Zolkiew in 1905. I posted family portrait photo on ViewMate - my submission
is 15777 (I hope I am lucky!!). The photo date is vague and must be in late
1920s or 1930s.

http://www.jewishgen.org/ViewMate/memberadmin/submissionsedit.asp?ID=15777

This picture shows in the front row 3 brothers of my grandfather Leo Hutter
(last one in the back row, x sign above him). Next to him are Max and Isaac
Reiser (both are much younger), his relatives who lived in Lviv. One of them
was engineer and one was professor. One of them was married to Celestyne
Laura Lea ALLES (b.1895 in Lwow). Max REISER (b.1903) was son of Samuel
Reiser and Marjem Brumer.

I would like to know if anyone recognizes one of the Hutter brothers in the
front row or one of the Reiser brothers or can add to the family roots
information that I have about Reiser/Alles/Brumer or Hutter. Please contact
me me privately or comment on ViewMate.


Many thanks,

Hi,
I've posted five pages of testimony on Viewmate that I downloaded

from the Yad Vashem database. I believe that these pages are for

the family of my paternal grandmother Rose AINBUND. They seem
to be for her father, her step-mother, two step brothers and a step-
sister. I'd like to have as much information as possible translated

from the Russian to English.

The pages are posted here:

Larry,

There are naturalization records posted for New York that you can access the
image. There were 3 Bersteins--Robert, Rose, and Tobias. There are 456
Siegels and 158 Halperns. Under Immigration: Selected U.S. Naturalization
Records - Original Documents, 1790-1974 (World Archives Project)

I'm not sure about the dates, but if you don't have any success email me
direct and I'll try to help: charae6@mchsi.com

Another group of Taurage District internal passport records, 1919-1940,
has been translated and is now available to researchers. This makes a total
of 1,026 records that have been translated for the Taurage District.

A $100.00 contribution to Jewishgen is required in order to receive these
records as well as the remaining Taurage internal passport records that
will be translated . Taurage is in the Raseiniai District of Lithuania.

Go to http://www.jewishgen.org/databases/Lithuania/InternalPassports.htm
and you will learn all about the internal passport project. After that, go
to http://www.jewishgen.org/JewishGen-erosity to make your contribution. Be
sure and specify your contribution is for Taurage I.P. records. The site
is secure so you can use your credit card. As soon as I am notified of your
contribution, I will make all of the records available to you.

Important - do not ignore these 1919-1940 records because your ancestors
left Lithuania in the late 1800's or early 1900's. Researchers have found
many records of their ancestors in these internal passport records. Your
immediate family may have left but, in many cases, their brothers and sisters as
well as other family members remained.

On June 26 message No.3, Barbara Zimmer stated that she has information for
Jean Bennett Giorgetti, but that her emails had bounced as spam. It is not
Ms Giorgetti's computer that is blocking the emails as spam, it is her
server (named in her email address). At the end of April all my emails that
had previously been successfully received by a friend in USA using that particular
server were suddenly refused as spam. I was able to receive messages >from him,
but my replies constantly bounced.

Since then other friends of mine who have attempted to email people in USA
who used that particular server have had the same experience. None of our
emails to people using other servers were refused, but those to users of that
particular server were consistently refused. Fortunately, I was able to contact
my friend through one of his relatives who used another server, and my friend
was able to provide me with an alternative address, through which he was able to
receive my emails.

Notification of the problem to that particular server failed to resolve the
problem, and it appears that it still exists.

Ms Giorgetti might be advised to offer an alternative email address with
another server in order to receive the assistance she requested.

Avotaynu has just published a completely rewritten version of its very
popular "Getting Started in Jewish Genealogy." The original work, published
in 1999, sold more than 2,000 copies. If you are starting out in your quest
to know more about your family history or are trying to convince someone
that it is possible for them to trace their Jewish roots, this is the book.
It is low cost and gives an overview of Jewish genealogical research.

The new book is substantially different >from its predecessor. There is
greater emphasis on using the Internet, a resource that blossomed in this
past decade. JewishGen has its own chapter, and there is a chapter regarding
a resource that did not come onto the genealogy scene until 2001: Stephen P.
Morse One-Step site.

Special focus is given to two complaints commonly uttered by neophytes: (1)
My name was changed at Ellis Island, and (2) I do not know where my family
came from.

The new version is titled "Getting Started in Jewish Genealogy: 2010
Edition." It is Avotaynu's intention to update the book every year, because
advances in genealogy are coming so rapidly that there is a need for
continual updates. This approach is made possible because of a new
technology in printing called Print-On-Demand. Sometime in December 2010, we
will publish an updated version: "Getting Started in Jewish Genealogy: 2011
Edition." Every December thereafter there will be an updated version.

The book is deliberately small-only 92 pages (which is 25% larger than its
predecessor)-to keep the price low. It is a getting started book, not a
beginners guide. A beginners guide would take hundreds of pages. It is
filled with illustrations-35 in total. People getting started don't want to
merely know what to do. They want to see examples.

The Table of Contents plus ordering information can be found at
http://www.avotaynu.com/books/gettingstarted2010.htm.

answers they otherwise might not. Please also consider other organizations
you may be affiliated with that may already have done cemetery indexing that
would consider having their records included in the JOWBR database.

Dear Genners,

A recent JewishGen blog announced that an InfoFile was being developed
for Genners interested in finding a for-fee researcher familiar with
Jewish genealogical resources in eastern-Europe. This InfoFile can now
be viewed on http://www.jewishgen.org/infofiles/researchers.htm, and
while it is not an official list of JewishGen recommendations, Genners
might still wish to consult it to see what various eastern Europe SIG
members had to say about any positive experiences they had with these
researchers during the past 5 years.

The current InfoFile is based on inputs received >from several, but not
all eastern European SIGs, and we would now like to expand this resource
to also cover experiences of members of the Latvia SIG. All remaining
eastern Europe SIGs will also be added within the next two weeks.

So, if you've had experiences, as described above, particularly with
those living in Eastern Europe, (which is different >from the list of
professional researchers at www.apgen.org), please send me an e-mail
while you're sitting there. Don't worry about any details at this point.
You'll have time later on.

All I need >from you is an e-mail addressed to me (Peter Haas) at
ppeett@hotmail.com, give it a "Subject" (for example, "For-Fee"
Researcher), and you really don't have to say much else except maybe
that you are a resource. Upon receipt, I will then simply "click" on
"reply," and attach a short, simple "Questionnaire" and instructions
that will guide you through the rest. However, if you have any prior
questions, please send me a separate e-mail.

In the meantime, please accept my thanks for reading this, and note
that with your help we can make and improve this InfoFile into a truly
valuable resource.
