When deciphering handwriting, whether old or modern, that vary widely among individuals, it is always a help to have a reasonably sized sample including vocabulary whose spelling is known. Could you post a larger sample (e.g. a page of the register)? Whether you use a scanner or digital camera, selecting a setting such as "black and white drawing" or "document" helps keep the file size reasonable while allowing high resolution.

I'verecently begun working on my long-planned family history. Today, I"Lomzhinskiy" is an adjective formed >from the noun "Lomzha" (i.e. Lomza). Your gf was >from Lomza Gubernia. Nowogrod is indeed in Lomza Gubernia. "Czarne" means "black", so there should be another word following. I've searched the indices of two large roadmaps for such a place in Lomza Gubernia, but find none. The most likely explanation for that is that it is/was such a negligible wide place in the road that these quite detailed maps don't show it. To gain an idea of the meaning of "45 kopeks every two months", one should observe that, even after four months, he has accumulated only small change, and must wait another two before he can graduate to the status of an owner of monetary paper.

The Death of Jan Langos
#hungary
Vivian Kahn
Dear All,
As Jan Hlavinka mentions in his message, I met with Jan Langos, Director of the Slovak Institute of National Memory, during my visit to Slovakia in August 2005. With Jan's translation assistance, Mr. Langos and I were able to discuss our mutual interest in publishing documentation of the Slovak Holocaust despite our inability to directly communicate with one another in our native tongues. One of the projects we discussed was incorporating names from the Institute's database of liquidated Jewish businesses intoJewishGen's All-Hungarian Database. The untimely and tragic death of Jan Langos in an automobile accident is a terrible loss not only for his family and for those of us with family ties to lands now in Slovakia but also for all those who recognize the importance of documenting the Holocaust. Publishing these records will help the Slovak people and the rest of the world to remember what transpired during these terrible years and rememberance is critical to preventing recurrence. The best way to honor the memory of Jan Langos is to support continuation of his very important work. On behalf of JewishGen's Hungarian SIG, I want to express my condolences to the family of Mr. Langos and to his dedicated colleagues at the Institute.

Re: looking for GOLDENZWEIG formerly from Montreal

Janette Silverman (jsilverman@janette-silverman.com) posted about
the GOLDENZWEIG family of Montreal I found records of Goldenzweigs through 1939 and then theyI was at the National Library of Canada and checked the original paper directories. The 1939/40 directory listed a Nat Goldenzweig with a business address on St. Dominique St. and residence on Blvd. Decarie (near Sherbrooke). In 1940 and 1941, he was not listed in the alphabetical index but was listed at the Decarie address. In 1942, the address was listed as Mrs Nat Goldenzweig widow Nat. This continued until 1946 when she became Mrs Nat Gold. from 1950 to 1956 she was Mrs F Gold widow Nat,and in 1957 the house was occupied by an Eve Gold, after which the house appeared to have no connection with the Gold family. Going back to 1938, I found Nat Goldenzweig living at Decarie but trading, probably, as Nat Gold on St. Dominique. There were certainly more Goldenzweigs in earlier years; possibly other family members became Golds. Harry Dodsworth, Ottawa, Canada - af877@freenet.carleton.ca
