Find My Past to Make Deceased Relatives On Your Online Trees Available to Everyone
#general
Jan Meisels Allen
For those who have their trees on Findmypast you may find this of interest.
Effective July 1 the deceased relatives ( they say ancestors but I presume they mean relatives not everyone is a direct line ancestor) will become sharable as hints. They are doing this for a more "collaborative experience". This is optional. If you do not want your deceased relatives open to everyone you can follow the directions to change the default setting: "open your tree, select 'Tree settings' (cog icon near the top right), untick the 'Share deceased ancestors' box and save the changes." If your tree settings are not marked private before July 1 and you don't want to share it is best to change your setting before the July 1st deadline. Once they are shared as a hint they can't be taken back by later changing your setting to private. Previously, all information on Findmypast was considered private. If you included information >from relatives who asked it be kept private you should contact them for permission if you want your deceased relatives to become public information and take their guidance. This may mean not permitting the public view or removing them >from your online tree on Findmypast.

Out of the box solution ?? Can anyone help
#general
David Zoldan
In a tape recording made in 1989 my grandmother related that her
grandfather Shraga Feivel Chesner of Chelm was often consulted on halachic questions. My grandmother continued on the tape "in fact that is how he died... " Grandma said that after he provided the answers to the people, they would give him a potch or pat him on the back, "and tell him shkoyach (thank you) Reb Feivel ... and I guess after all those potches he just ... passed away". Now, of course, I don't think he died >from being patted on the back. Obviously. But, I do think that my grandmother was remembering some story which has some truth in it. Perhaps that truth could be valuable to me. I realize there is no one who could tell what happened. But perhaps somebody could provide a suggestion what this could be, some out of the box solution.

Question regarding immigration to the U.S. (CHESNER - EINBINDER family from Chelm)
#general
David Zoldan
My great grandmother, Yitta Machla Einbinder (nee Chesner) and her
brother, Itcha Chesner, immigrated to the U.S. >from Chelm. The men, i.e my great grandfather, Jack Einbinder, and my great great uncle, Itcha Chesner, came first in 1924. The women, i.e my great grandmother, Yitta Machla Einbinder, and her sister in law, Dora Chesner and the kids came in 1929. In took 5 years for the two men to bring over their wives and families. Another brother of my great grandmother, Jacob Chesner, came to the U.S. in 1904 and brought his wife, Bertha Chesner and their kids over to join him in 1906, after only 2 years (even less). Now, I know that the immigration laws to enter the U.S. became stricter in 1924. Is it possible that this contributed to the extended time, 5 years, which it took for my great grandfather to bring over his family, as opposed to the 2 years which it took his brother in law to do the same thing 20 years before. Does anyone know? Does anyone have a comparable story? I realize no two stories are exactly the same but I am wondering if this was common.

Grandfather from Wangerin / Wegorzyno
#germany
Dieter Schimmelpfennig <dieter51@...>
Dear listmembers,
new to this list, I want to introduce myself. My name is Dieter W.H. Schimmelpfennig, 67 years old, living in Northern Germany near the Danish border. I am doing genealogy for more than 25 years and I am an expert for the former Kreis ( County ) Belgard-Schivelbein in Pomerania. The reason why I am in this list is that I know nothing about one important part of my family. I know nothing about my grandfather and his family. This is what I have: My grandmother Elfriede Ida Mathilde WUTZKE was born in 1893 as the daughter of an evangelical-lutheran family in Wangerin, Kreis ( County ) Regenwalde, Pomerania / today Wegorzyno, Poland. In 1912 she worked for the family of a Jewish salesman ( names unknown ) in Wangerin and became pregnant. My father Harry Otto WUTZKE was born in 1913 not as usual in those days at home or in the nearest hospital, but in a special hospital in Stettin, the capital of Pomerania. In 1920 she married Erich SCHIMMELPFENNIG, a bookprinter in the city of Schivelbein / today Swidwin, Poland. He did not adopt my father but allowed him to wear his familyname SCHIMMELPFENNIG. After that marriage Erich SCHIMMELPFENNIG suddenly was the owner of a house and a shop in the mains treet of Schivelbein. It was said "they bought Harry Otto a father". In those days that was not unusual. My father studied in Stettin. Than he went to Elbing / today Elblag, Poland to learn to work as a teacher. In 1933 he should work as a teacher for the first time. But now, because of the Nazis, he had to confirm that he was "of german blood". So Erich SCHIMMELPFENNIG declared in 1933, that he is "the real father" of Harry Otto and his son is "of german blood". That is not really possible, because Erich S. was 15 years old, when my father was born. Some years later my father had to become a soldier. When he came back in 1948 >from a Russian POW-Camp, the family was expelled >from Pomerania and his mother and some other members of the family had died. Erich S. was married again. During the next years my father tried to find out the name of his real father. He knew that his father was Jewish. The persons who knew something about his father are either dead or not willing to talk about it. I tried several years to find something about my grandfather without any success. Last year I made 3 DNA-Testings ( myheritage, ancestry and familytreedna ) and found out that I have between 20 % and 25 % ( differences between the providers ) ashkenazy DNA. That is the point where I am. I have no idea what to do next.

Seeking information on Hanoch HALICZER (originally from Jagielnica, near Czortkow)
#galicia
Douglas Hykle <dhykle@...>
Hanoch HALICZER, born around 1922 or 1923, reportedly served as a member
of the Ordnungsdienst (Jewish police) in Jagielnica around 1942-43. Evidently, he also spent time in a work camp at Ulaszkowce. As he spoke good German, he was the liaison between the farmers, supervisors, and the German director of the camp. In January 1944, thanks to his good relations with the local population, he secured a hiding place for a Jewish family (GUTSTEIN) with a Ukrainian peasant near Ulaszkowce. Towards the time of liberation by Soviet troops (March 1944), he returned to his hometown of Jagielnica, where he volunteered to point out to the military authorities Ukrainians who had killed Jews and/or had collaborated with the Germans. In the same period, he was also involved in the rescue of Jews who had been hiding in a cave near the town of Ulaszkowce. These individuals included Abraham MORGENSTERN. Hanoch Haliczer was reported to still be alive, living in Czortkow (then part of USSR, present-day Ukraine) in November 1969, and possibly even much later than 1972. Apparently, at that time, he was living on Shkolnaja Street and he served as an instructor in the volunteer fire brigade. I would like to know if anyone reading this forum (or their older relatives) would remember Hanoch Haliczer and have any information on what became of him. For example, did he continue to live in Czortkow after 1972, did he have any children, did he/they eventually resettle elsewhere etc. etc. Douglas Hykle Tovste, Ukraine
