FRANKEL from SLATINA, Olt County Romania
#romania
Gayle Sherburne <gssherburne@...>
Dear All,
I am seeking information about the Jewish Community which once existed in Slatina, Olt County Romania. This is in the area known as "Oltenia", and in the 1800's was part of "Romania Mare", before Transilvania was officially a part of Romania. Slatina is between Craiova and Bucharest. Despite much searching I cannot find a trace of the Jews >from Slatina or Olt County. My grandfather Jacques Frankel was born there in 1886. He had a brother Roland born in 1881. The parents were named Isaac and Rosa Frankel. There may have been other siblings as well. Their address was "Bucharest Street." Roland became a naturalized British citizen in 1909 and changed his name to Franklin. Jacques also lived there apparently but later immigrated to American and was also known as Franklin. In between Romania and their immigrations the family was in Cairo for a period of time, and probably also in Palestine. I have no clue what happened to the other family members, including the parents. All information clues and suggestions gratefully accepted. Thanks Gayle Sherburne Timisoara Romania

We are a group of descendants of R' Shmuel Mohilever & his sister, Yocheved. We are working on connecting our family trees and would really appreciate any details you might have on any surrounding Mohilever-Moholiver-Mogilever-Mohlewer family graves. Associated families are Shapiro & Jaffe-Yoffe. We are also trying to determine whether the family were Cohanim or Leviim. Thank you for your help!

#poland
Roni S. Liebowitz
This is a reminder that the Lodz Area Research Group will hold its annual
meeting at the Conference: http://www.jgsny2006.org Tuesday, August 15 3:15-4:30 Soho Room, 7th floor This is a group researching not only the city of Lodz, but approximately 80 surrounding towns. To see if this includes one of your towns in Poland, go to www.shtetlinks.jewishgen.org/Lodz/LARG.htm, click on towns, and scroll down for the list. If you are planning to join us, please sign-up at: http://www.shtetlinks.jewishgen.org/Lodz/signup.htm DO NOT enter your spouse's name if he/she is not attending or has no roots within these towns. List the surnames and towns you are researching ONLY >from this area. If you are not sure of the towns, list "any." You can also see who else is planning to attend, by clicking on "click here to see who is going to be there" at the bottom of the sign-in page. Even if you cannot attend this meeting due to conflicts in your schedule, please indicate the surnames and towns you are looking for in this area so that others at the meeting can contact you. I am also requesting that if you have records for surnames you see listed on that page, please bring copies to share with people at the meeting researching them. Town Contacts attending, please bring reports about your towns for us to share. For those new to genealogical research, we will review what is available in this area and how to begin. For those seasoned researchers, please bring your best pointers to share about doing this research, getting around, over, under or through those brick walls, etc. We will begin a very large and significant project soon. Details will be announced at the meeting. I look forward to seeing everyone again and meeting "new" Lodz Area Researchers who have not attended this group meeting before. Based on the impressive number of new subscribers to the LARG discussion group, I see there are many of you and look forward to welcoming you all.

Information on Friedrich Wilhem PESTER Borna, Saxony & Arizona
#germany
Steve Orlen
Dear Cousins-in-law,
I'm looking for genealogical information, specifically family background in Germany, on William PESTER. In the United States he sometimes went by Frederick PESTER. He was born Friedrich Wilhem PESTER on July 18, 1885, in Borna, Saxony, Germany. His father was Friedrich Hermann PESTER and his mother was Anna Marie nee ERLER. I don't know if the family was Jewish, but I think it might have been. Any information anyone has on the family background would be greatly appreciated. Birth Certificate. A person in the registry in Borna, although kind enough to pass along the above birth information, was quite definite in saying that only relatives of the deceased could apply for a birth certificate. If anyone knows how I can get an official one, again, this would be a big help. Death Certificate. According to the Social Security Death Index, PESTER, appearing as Frederick PESTER, died in Arizona in July 1963. No city or county was given. I've been beating the bushes to find confirmation of this, but no luck. As you know, Arizona is a "closed record" state and will not issue death certificates to the general researcher. Any indication of PESTER's death or residence in Arizona would help quite a bit. Please respond privately to sorlen@email.arizona.edu Best, Steve Orlen Tucson, AZ <sorlen@email.arizona.edu>

I am searching for my great grandparents Nathan and Rose WOHL WEISS. Nathan
came to the USA with his 4 children. The story is that his wife died in an accident in Hungary. My grandmother was 1 of the 4 children and she married in 1893 during the Columbian Exposition in Chicago, she was 18 years old at the time. Any suggestions on how to research this as i do not read or speak Hungarian. Thank you Dorothy Balkin Bernstein Delray Beach, FL researching BALKIN, STEINBORN, WEINBERG, MAHDER lATVIA BERNSTEIN, WEINTRAUB Bessarabia. Moderator: You don't mention whether you've checked records to find out where your great-grandparents lived in Hungary. Once you find that information you can use the All-Hungary Database and other JewishGen resources to try to find WEISS or WOHL families.

Finding two obituaries ; photos of two tombstones in Edmonton Cemetery
#unitedkingdom
srhlsr@...
I'm hoping that JCR-UK readers can help with the following:
I'm looking for two obituaries and photos of tombstones of the following people: Rachel KLEPFISH 16-Dec-1929 Edmonton Cemetery Millie KLEPFISH 20-Jun-1935 Edmonton Cemetery I hope that this is no imposition; perhaps someone in London, England, already going to visit Edmonton Cemetery , would be able to find and photograph these two tombstones? I found the above two results on JCR-UK's Database online; I didn't see details there as to the location of the tombstones within the cemetery. As far as obituaries ...I found one obituary at the Artchives of The Jewish Chronicle online, for Millie KLEPFISH ; a short one; her date of passing and burial, and age are mentioned; no names of family members, etc. Perhaps there are other online obituaries that I can be directed to? (I have already searched on the Internet, but no luck finding obituaries for England, for the years 1929 and 1935.) Thank you!
