According to information I have, my grandfather's sister, Rebecca

Is it a section of a larger cemetery?

I know that Rebecca's son, Gustave WACHT is buried in Maimonides
Cemetery in Brooklyn/Queens, I've called Maimonides and the person on
the phone there did not know of Rodesh Shalom or of Rebecca and Meyer
WACHT.

Can anyone help me on this?

Dear Batya,

Perhaps the following may help you. The problem may be due to the
fact that you do not have the name quite right. The expression
"Rodesh Shalom" does not exist -- because Rodesh is not a Hebrew
word. However, the expression "Rodef Shalom" does exist -- and
could perhaps be the name of a cemetery. It means "Pursuer of peace"
and is an epithet that Jewish tradition applies to Aaron the High
Priest (the brother of Moses according to the biblical narrative,
although modern bible scholarship takes a different view ).

So, perhaps if you try "Rodef Shalom " you may get better results. Good luck!

I have traced my family's roots to the town of Yarun (Ukraine) and
neighboring towns.

Can someone tell me whether it is possible to obtain birth, death or
marriage records >from that area, dating to the time period between
1880 - 1918?

I am trying to research my family and would appreciate any help you can
offer to find out what happened to my relatives during the Second World
War. The family members I am trying to research were Smuelis and
Nechama ZULTY. I do not know their exact residence before WWII, but in
1942 they were imprisoned in the Vilnius Ghetto. Smuelis was born in
1915 , was a baker and would have been 27 years-old when put in the
ghetto. Nechama was born in 1929, was a tailor/seamstress, and would
have been 13 years-old when put in the ghetto.

I know little about where my ZULTY family came >from but I do know that
some of the family came >from the Minsk guberniya and others >from the
Tiktin/Tykocin area. My grandfather, David ZOLTY, was born in Radomsko,
Poland.

I am French and my English is limited. This message I am posting was
translated for me. If you can reply to me in French, it would be
greatly appreciated. If you do not know French, then I will have your
replies translated. I mention this because the language issue limits my
ability to quickly and efficiently utilize the Jewishgen website. In
advance, thank you for your help.

Dear Litvak SIG:

Can I get a clarification regarding Litvak SIG dues:

1. Must you be a dues paying member to vote in the Litvak SIG election?

2. If so, how much are Litvak SIG dues?

3. When is the deadline for payment of dues in order to vote?

4. Can you pay the Litvak SIG dues at the Conference and still be eligible
to vote?

5. If you can pay at the Conference, when, where and to whom can you pay
the dues?

Thanks,
Ann Rabinowitz
annrab@bellsouth.net

MODERATOR'S NOTE: Election Chair Eden Joachim will answer questions about
the election within the next few days, but to try to answer some of Ann's
questions: One must be a dues-paying member in good standing to vote in the
election. LitvakSIG dues are $36 per year. They may be paid at the
conference, and there will be a table set up at the beginning of the
meeting to accept dues for those who have not yet paid them but wish to
vote.

Dear Aviva:

There is an English guidebook to Jewish Bialystok entitled
"Jewish Bialystok and Surroundings in Eastern Poland" by
Tomasz Wisniewski.

I would suggest that your son visit the Bagnowka Cemetery on
Wschodnia Street; the Muzeum Historyczne w Bialystok (The
Museum of the History of Bialystok) at ul. Warszawska 37;
the monument to the destruction of the Great Synagogue; the
Ghetto Cemetery on ul. Zabia, which is now a park with
monuments to the Ghetto fighters and martyrs; and walk
around the Ghetto area where many Jews lived before the War.

I hope your son's group will also be visiting Tykocin, where
the ca. 1650 Synagogue now serves as a regional Judaica
museum.

I hope he has a very interesting trip.

My mother told me that her paternal GGM arrived on a ship to Boston
on the day she was born. I realize that I don't know whether it was her
GF's mother or her GM's mother. I searched the manifests for four ships
that arrived within 5 days of my mother's birth. The Susquehanna lists
a Renvier Fleischer and a Feiga Rojtberg, so it could be either GGM.
That's assuming that Renvier is a woman's name. I have only seen the
name one other time. Does anyone know for sure that it is a woman's
name and the origin of it?

Frieda Celia Fleisher, my GGM, had a brother Reuven who had six
children: Sarah, Sam, Rita, Celia, Jack and Rachel (Rae). Sarah died
and her husband married a cousin who raised their son Edward whom I
know. Celia (Reich?) was the GM or GGM of Adam Rich of "Eight is
Enough." Jack had a daughter named Arlene and Rachel had a daughter
Cydel. I remember Reuven's wife as "Tante Fleisher" (Auntie Fleisher).
I actually met Arlene and Cydel in the 1960s, but do not know their
married names, and have lost track of all of Reuven's descendents except
for Edward Chakoff (of Cleveland, OH and now of California). The rest
lived in New York City.
Thank you.
