It appears Yossi that you have been researching incorrect Mikolajow.
If as you say, 'your' Mikolajow was within the powiat (district) Bobrka,
Lwow Wojewodztwo (Province), then it is village Mikolayuv at 4946 2420, not
at 4931 2359. This village is located about 9 miles distance >from Bobrka.

Please note that ShtetlSeeker confuses identification of this village twice
as the separate entities.
Once is named it Nikolayev (Mykolaiv) at 4946 2421 and again it lists it as
Mikolayuv at 4946 2420.

After 1918 all records previously collected by Jewish Kehilot authorities
have been physically relocated to district town Government Registry Offices
(Urzad Stanu Cywilnego or USC), and this is how they have been relocated to
Warsaw >from Ukraine after the end of WWII, and have been since stored there
under the Bobrka archives filing system.

"Your" Mikolajow is not very well known or perhaps confused with the other
Mikolajow. Town is listed incorrectly in the WOWW gazetteer as being located
in Tarnopol.

Actually Mikolajow was known by its post office name: Mikolajow kolo (near)
Gajow (Gaje - a large village nearby)

According to Polish Archives database Bobrka records are available as
follows:

Marriages: 1866-1876
Births: 1863-1915
Births: 1900-1940
Deaths: 1904 -1940

I can't address the location of birth and death records, but I do have
something to say about the location of towns in Galicia with this name. For
reasons unrelated to my personal research, I looked at this in some depth
last year.

There were at least three towns in Galicia that were called Mikolayow under
the Austrian Administration. Yossi says that "his" is located at 49°31'N
23°59'E and was formerly in the Bobrka District. It is not possible for a
town to be at that location AND in the Bobrka district, because that map
coordinate was not in the Bobrka district.

The Mikolayow in the Bobrka District is at 49°46'N 24°21'E. It was the seat
of a Jewish District under the Austrians. During the Soviet era it was
called Nikolayev and the Ukrainians now call it Mykolayuv.

The Mikolayow at 49°31'N 23°59'E was in the Zydaczow Administrative District
and the Rozdol Jewish District. In the Soviet era it was called Nikolayev
and the Ukrainians now call it Mykolayiv.

I suspect Yossi will have to refine his information on which town interests
him.

[For compleatists, the third Mikolayow is at 50°21'N 24°59'E and was in the
Brody Administrative District and the Szczurowice Jewish District. Its
Soviet era name was Nikolayev and it is now called Mykolayuv.]

I am urgently looking for: TABATSCHNI[C]K, TABACZNYK, TABACZNIK born
and resident in Raschkow, "Russia" in the late 1800s or in the 1900s,
specifically called Josef, who was probably born in about 1860. If
you have any links to this family name in Raschkow or Vienna, please
let me know asap. In Vienna in the 1920s, where a branch of the
family resided, the town is listed as in "Russland". When I googled
for it, I hit serendipitously upon this site:

http://www.rzuser.uni-heidelberg.de/~f25/stud-hd/ss1897

It lists foreign? students at Heidelberg University - there are many
Jewish names. Please alter the year >from 1893-1897 inclusive and you
can see the students enrolled in different years. Enter town or
country names: Amerika, Holland, Galizien, Oesterreich, Posen,
Russland, Sachsen, Schlesien, Schweiz etc. Use an upper-case first
letter for your place and names search. I note Raschkow comes under
"Posen". The US and British students are interesting too and I suspect
some are Jewish.

If you look for Wien [please note that some may not be Jewish] you
will find:

ARNOT Robert 94; BLEIER Otto 93 94; COHN Paul 92 94; FANTO Emil 97
FRIEDMANN, Alexand. 91; FRITZ Siegmund 96; GEIRINGER Heinrich 93 95;

Brunn - probably the same as Armin; FRENZEL Karl 97 Brunn;
FREUND Moritz 95 Pilsen; OSBORNE Wilhelm 93 Bohnitz, Bohmen
ZAAR Karl 95-96 Friedeck [Friedland].

The names at the end of each line must be the landlord of the
lodgings and the numbers after the student's names must be the dates
they were inscribed.

Theodor ZETTEL is on my family tree. He was the son of Julius ZETTEL
and Therese DUSCHNITZ [11 Feb 1849 Pressburg - Oct 12 1870 Vienna] -
and a second-cousin of my mother. Therese must have died in
childbirth - Julius then married her sister Hermine DUSCHNITZ and had
another son Paul ZETTEL. I believe the ZETTEL family settled in
England. Theodor would have been 23 when he went to Heidelberg.
I know nothing about him and this is my first major discovery!

I know other Siggers are interested in FANTO, GEIRINGER, NEURATH

It sounds to me like your cousin is making a mistake. Even though Jewish and
secular names do not have to relate in any way (even when the secular name is of
biblical origin), it seems mighty far-fetched that a Benjamin should have a
Jewish name of Pessie Genendel.

One possible source of confusion is the custom that, when praying for a sick
person, they are referred to by their mother's name (e.g. Yitzhaq ben Sarah)
rather than their father's name (e.g. Yitzhaq ben Avraham). Someone hearing
this may misinterpret a part of this as if it were the person's Jewish name.

But this is only speculation, and the only real proof would be a document listing
his actual Jewish name. (birth, brit, ketubah, etc.)

PS. a friend of mine, officially named "Emanuel" (in both English and Hebrew),
prefers to be known as "Manny", but is otherwise quite satisfied with his Hebrew
name.

I realize that spamblocking is a topic that has been thoroughly addressed on
this forum.

Still, twice in as many weeks, I have sent long, detailed, pertinent and
speedy responses to queries posted here, posted by two separate participants.

In each case, my emails were bounced back to me. Since neither email would
have been of general interest to this group (in each case, these contained,
as I already stated, detailed and pertinent family information) I did not post
the letters to this Digest as well.

Allow me to say that it seems pointless to post a request if the party doing
the posting is going to block any responses. More than pointless, it also
is rude, even stupid.

And, no, I am NOT going to take the time to fill out the query poster's
questionnaire to gain permission to correspond with that person. There are
plenty of other ways around the spam issue, including setting up an independent
email account on one of the many free webservices for JewishGen correspondence.

Dear Genealogists

I am Frank Lippa, living in Australia, and a descendant of Ukrainian Jews
(surnames YAMPOLSKY and KRACHAK) and Polish Jews (surnames LIPPA and
HOCHBERG).

I recently signed on as a subscriber to the "Ukraine Digest" SIG of
JewishGen. A recent post mentions "Jewish musicians in the Czar's Army".

I note some discussion on the forum regarding but I write to tell you that
some time ago I was given a photocopy of an article entitled "Hirsch
Ichilcheck - Kletzmer and Kapel-meister", written and published in South
Africa, that might be of interest to someone.

Briefly, Hirsh (born in Nova Alexandrovsk, in Lithuania) was for more than
20 years the "orchestral conductor for the Tsarina's uncle, Prince
Oldenburgski" whose palace was in Gagrit, on the Black Sea. During that time
he appeared before, among others, Tsar Nicholas II, the Premier Goremkyn,
and Joseph Trumpeldor (the eventual leader of Betar). He composed music for
the court - some of which he took to South Africa, and might still be
available >from one of his relatives (Dan Hill, his son; during the 1950's
and -60's a very successful South African band-leader and recording artist),
who might still be alive in South Africa.

I was given this article by a distant relative who is descended >from Hirsh
Ichilcheck. Hirsh emigrated to South Africa around 1920, where he settled
with his son Dan, and daughter Emma, who there married Zalman Levin.

Emma has written a short memoir in which she remembers "playing with
Anastasia".

A cousin of mine married one of the grandsons of Hirsch. I met Hirsh once
only, when I was a child of perhaps 10 years old, in 1958.

But finally, to the purpose of this email!

I am happy to make a scan of his article (I have no idea of its origin)
available to anyone who might be interested, and to furnish genealogical
information about the descendants of Hirsch.

If you know of anyone that might be interested, please give them my email
address.

Kind regards,

Frank Lippa.

Just a note or question on "Sighet"

Elie Wiesel in his Nobel-price winning "NIGHT" referers to : "The Jews of
Sighet -- that little town in Transylvania where I spent my childhood"

Now the word or name Sighet is not Hungarian, it may be a translation into
Rumanian or...? It does remind me of the word or name: Sziget = Island, a
commonly used partial or full name for a location in that region.

And then as Szigeti, a last-name version meaning : one >from the location
called Sziget...
