Hi GerSIG Friends,

I have recently found evidence proving there were 3 heretofore
unknown siblings of my grandfather who were born in Markt Berolzheim,
Bavaria, in the late 1800s.

I am trying to find the birth and death certificates of one of the
children, Sofi LEVI, born probably around 1890 to Mathilde LEVI geb.
HERZ and Leopold LEVI, and the death certificate of her brother, Isidor
LEVI, who was born in 1893. They and another previously known sibling,
Leo LEVI born in 1898 were never mentioned to my mother, born in 1925 by
her father or any of his siblings.


Isidor and Sofi appear on a list of Levi children >from Markt
Berolzheim sent to the Jewish orphanage in Fuerth in 1901 when their
mother, my great grandmother, died. Leo and Sofi also appear in a list
my grandfather made in 1926 of family members buried in the nearby
Jewish cemetery in Treuchtlingen. However, Sofi's birth and death
certificates are not in the registry office in Meinheim where the
volunteer archivist of Markt Berolzheim found Leo's birth and death
certificates for me recently.

The children could have died while living at the orphanage in Fuerth.
It's just strange they were never spoken of. And if two died at
the orphanage, it would seem that would have been a topic of discussion.
I'm not sure how long my grandfather was at the orphanage. My
mom was under the impression that they chose that one because of the
excellent Jewish school in the area. (My grandfather rejoined his family
but I'm not sure in what year, and came home for visits. )

Sincerely, Lin Herz Palm Bay, Florida

Hello Genners,

I have a a photograph of the 60th birthday party of Ida Shrager Becker.
I can identify all of the Becker related individuals in the photograph.
I cannot identify the members of the Shrager family. The photograph was
taken in 1955 at the Golden Slipper Club in Philadelphia.
A 1956 Obituary for Israel Shrager included Len, his wife, Jonah, his
brother, and Sarah Chadiker, his sister. I cannot connect the names to
the picture.

If you are a member of the family please contact me.

So many of our immigrant ancestors lived in New York City -- they
started on the Lower East Side and upgraded to the Bronx and Brooklyn;
their children moved to Queens, Westchester, Long Island and New
Jersey.

We have census reports >from Ancestry and vital records from
ItalianGen, but this class will focus on the more esoteric documents
our ancestors generated, including probate, landsmanshaften, voter
registration, newspapers, and court case records.

This is an intermediate level genealogy course with eight text lessons
you can download; there are no specific times for the course as
students are international. Students will select a branch to research
and receive daily advice and suggestions >from the instructor through a
24/7 Forum, in a query and answer format. Students must feel
comfortable browsing the web and downloading files, have 8-10 hours
available each week, and should select one NYC family where census and
vital records are already documented.

Tuition is $150; registration is open at:
https://www.jewishgen.org/education/description.asp?course=40135

For questions, please email the instructor: Phyllis Kramer,
JewishGen's VP of Education, born and bred in NYC; she will lead you
through it.

Shalom,

I will start off by noting that this will probably be my last Yizkor
Book monthly report. I will be shortly stepping down as Yizkor Book
Project Manager and my place will be taken over by Binny Lewis.
Having being involved in this project >from around 1999 and leading
it >from 2009, it would seem the time is ripe for me to allow someone
with new ideas and energy to take on the project. In the meantime,
I will still be around to help Binny acclimatize to the tasks involved.

I would sincerely like to thank each and every person who has
contributed in some way to the continued success of the Yizkor
Book Project. I am perpetually in awe of the willingness of people to
devote their time and energy to help out in some way to move the
various projects along. I am quite sure that Binny will continue to
receive the same level of support and dedication which will enable
the project to further grow and develop.

As a parting "gift", I am pleased to let you know that the complete
translation of the Wyzkow, Poland Yizkor book is now online. Our
grateful thanks go out to Howard Orenstein who has led this project

from its outset and has untiringly followed through with this project

to its ultimate goal.

Other than that, I would like to note that a number of new
Translation Projects have recently been setup for the books of the
following communities:

- Augustow, Poland
- Skalat, Ukraine
- Zinkiv, Ukraine

The support we need to see these books translated is, naturally,
financial and if you are able to assist in that direction with any
amount, please make your donation on our JewishGen-erosity page
(link below) to the project you wish to support.

Now, before letting you know about the updates and additions, I do
wish you and your families a Shavuot Sameach or a Happy Shavuot.

Hello Everybody

I've posted a vital record in German for which I need a translation. It is
available on ViewMate at the following address...

http://www.jewishgen.org/viewmate/viewmateview.asp?key=VM73424

This I believe is the original marriage record between my paternal
Grandfather Friedrich LICHTENSTEIN and my paternal Grandmother Sussana
RAUSCHER which occurred in the little Rhineland town of Voerde in Germany
about a century ago.

Prior to that all I had was a reconstituted Nazi-era marriage certificate in
which my Grandfather had to take on the middle name of Israel.

Any way I am interested in all the information which appears in this record,
including the marginal notes. Most importantly I would like to know
whereabouts in Voerde the marriage ceremony occurred. I suspect that
because the two of them were of mixed faiths at the time (my Grandmother
only converting to Judaism later on) that marriage ceremony may have
occurred in a civil registry office.

I will be travelling to Germany soon, including Voerde, and would like to
find the actual location in Voerder where that ceremony took place.

Thank you very much.
