On 23 Aug. 1921, Mrs. Dora Dorfman (sometimes 'Dorfin' in the documents)
of 21 Paragon Mansions, Mile End, Old Town, died. She was the widow of
one Osiaf Dorfman, a man who had been a 'music hall artist'. The death
certificate was endorsed by their son - one L. Dorfman.

A historian I know is looking for Mr. L Dorfman or, more likely, any
of his descendants. He would like to speak to anybody in that family about
any stories or memories about they might have about Mrs. Dora Dorfman.

Please contact me privately.
A similar message was posted on JGSGB discussion group and has not
given any positive leads. It is possible that the descendants are
in the USA

Greetings all,

I have put online a listing of many of the synagogues that existed in New
York City (Manhattan, Brooklyn and the Bronx) and Long Island in the years
1910 and 1915. Included for each entry is the name and address of the
synagogue as well as the name and address of the "pastor" or president. Also
listed for each, when available, is the year the synagogue was established.
I know that many have raised questions in the past regarding many of the
older synagogues in New York City, so I thought I would create these lists
for you. The first list is for synagogues in the Bronx and Manhattan, the
other for those located in Brooklyn (Kings) and Long Island.

I have also created a list of Jewish cemeteries that existed in New York
City and Long Island in 1915. Listed are the names of each cemetery, their
addresses, the area (acreage) of each, along with the number of those
interred in 1913 and the total number of interments to that point. Did you
realize that Washington Cemetery in Brooklyn, established in 1861, already
had nearly 80,000 burials by 1913?

I am pleased to announce the addition of an article about the CHEN/ASHKENAZI
rabbinical family to our SIG website. Thanks very much, Ralph Chayen, for
this interesting submission, which raises important questions for Danzig
rabbinical genealogy. Hopefully, SIG members will be able to help provide
answers, through their existing knowledge or future research.
(Note: Shklov, Belarus and the Chabad movement are also central
to this article.)

Hello! Can someone tell me in which cemetery in Kovno is Rabbi Isaac
Elchanan Spector buried in? I know it is not Vilijampole/Slobodka or
Panemune so it must be at Zaliakalnis (Green Hill) or Aleksot(as) but
I'm not sure which one it is.
