Searching for Joseph CAHN and Descendants. #germany

Gunther Steinberg <beagun27@...>
 

Do you have any information about the following:
Joseph CAHN, born 1912, son of Wilhelm CAHN and Fredericka KAUFMANN,
in Quadrath, near Koeln. The Family lived in Koeln during the 1930s.
Joseph CAHN came to the US after WW II. Please contact me if you know
of the whereabouts of Joseph CAHN's descendants.

Also searching for the following people who lived in Quadrath: Sally
SIMON b. 1909 in Ichendorf; he survived the Ghetto in Riga.
He had married Rosalind KOWNATOR, b. 1915, who died in Riga. She had
a son, Hans, b. 1930, >from a previous marriage, who survived the
Ghetto in Riga and emigrated to South America. Any information about
this family or their relatives would be appreciated.

Records for Pest Megye and Veszprem Megye #hungary

stephen@...
 

I wish to bring to everyone’s attention the genealogical records
compiled by Zoltan Gyore at http://www.zengen.hu/menu2.html

The information is in Hungarian, but the list of names can be easily
downloaded. The data of most interest to Jewish genealogists is his
compilation of records for the Pest Megye (County), with 9,357 records
and Veszprem Megye (County) with 10,742 records.

These records can be downloaded as Excel files by clicking on “Pest
megye zsido nevmutato” and “Veszprem megye zsido nevmutato”.

For those who don’t speak Hungarian the column heading in these files are:

Head of household (Surname)
Given name (first)
Given name (second)
Spouse (Surname)
Spouse’s given name
Town
Record number

It is also possible to download records for:

Holloko-Rimoc-Nogradmegyer
Rakospalota

The first of these contains some Jewish records, indicated in the third
last column with the word “zsidok” or “zsido”. The second doesn’t
contain Jewish records, but I did find some typically Jewish names such
as Kohn.

For the Gyore family, who are not Jewish, the full records are available.

For the following towns there is some genealogical history which in some
cases includes statistics and also information on source material and
location of additional information: Csopak, Fot, Godollo, Holloko,
Kistarcsa, Mogyorod, Nogradmegyer, Orbottyan, Rakospalota, Rimoc, Szada,
Veresegyhaz. Similar information is also given for the Pest and Veszprem
Jewish records.

Re: Weinberg-Weinberger #hungary

Here in the US I have a family in my tree that changed >from Weinberger to
Weinberg. They appear to have used Weinberger first - (Naturalization
Docs and 1920 Census) and were >from Ungvar, Hungary. On 1930 census they
are using Weinberg and are listed >from Czecheslovakia (which
Ungvar/Uzgorod was part of at that time). Later records all seem to use
Weinberg. Change could have been purposeful Americanization or
simplification. Could possibly have to do with old country nation change
(I don't think thats likely). Could also have simply been a happenstance
event (ie got a job and clerk wrote down shorter version so he just
started using it).

It's all speculation however!

Searching: family of Dr Erich MOSBACH, Stettin-->USA #germany

A cousin has found a carbon copy of a letter among her father's
papers. The letter was written in 1946 by a Dr MOSBACH >from Stettin,
probably the dentist Dr Erich MOSBACH, who survived the camps and
eventually came to the USA with his wife and daughter. Our cousin
thinks her father may have had the letter because of their common
Stettin connection or perhaps because of a connection to her
grandmother's CRONBACH or ABRAHAMSOHN relatives.

Searching for this name, I found a reference to an Ernest LION, whose
wife was a cousin of Dr MOSBACH; Ernest LION died in 2004 in Great
Falls, Virginia.

My cousin would like to get a copy of the letter to Dr MOSBACH's
family, and perhaps to find out what their connection was to her
father. Can anyone help?

Dear Friends and fellow H- Sig members

It was so wonderful of you all to help me two years ago, when I sent out a request to help find my Mohrer/ Neumann family in Israel. I had almost given up when this came yesterday.
I lived in Israel nine years, until 2002, belonged to the GSI, to no avail, and only began to find them when I came back to England !! I wish I had known you all then.
I am sending the letter that my cousin (?) Miriam sent me, to show you how things turn out in the end. I have thanked them all privately already but wanted to thank them publicly as well
Thank you again for all your help
Best wishes,
Heather

I?m granddaughter of Mohrer Lea who died in Israel at 1975. I know that Lea ?Laura was the sister of Adolf Neumann
who died at the holocaust. Her other brother Isidor Neumann was living in Israel and died many years ago.
His children are: Emil, Szonja and David. Emil died about ten years ago.
Szonja and David living in Israel.
I don`t know much about Adolf and his family and would like to hear about him..

Shalom,

I continue to be amazed and encouraged by the many of you who contact me
offering all types of assistance in the Yizkor Book Project - and believe
me, this is so very much appreciated! In addition, over the last month I was

Together with these, there have been four new Translation Fund Projects

Shalom,

I continue to be amazed and encouraged by the many of you who contact me
offering all types of assistance in the Yizkor Book Project - and believe
me, this is so very much appreciated! In addition, over the last month I was
contacted by a number of people interested in setting up a project for

Together with these, there have been four new Translation Fund Projects

translators who will help facilitate dreams of seeing the whole translation
of these books online.

If any of these projects are close to your heart and you are able to assist
financially to them, we invite you to visit our Translations Fund page at
to read about these and the other many project funds that were are currently
