Richard and Marc WEISS are in their 50's, the sons of the late Melvin WEISS
and Mildred WEISS. In the 1960's, at least, they lived in Elmont, Nassau County.

They're my second cousins. Does anyone know them?

Dear Genners,

I am thinking about laoding my family tree onto the web. Do I have
to get permission >from each of the living family members?

Thanks,

Less than 24 hours ago I posted this request:

"I need a favor -- a look-up in the New York Times. My second cousin Melvin
WEISS, died in December 1970, probably in Queens or Elmont, Nassau County.
He was born in 1920. He lived in Elmont, was married and had children.

Anyone having access to the New York Times online index/death notices or
maybe Nexis/Lexis could find the notice quickly and send me its text. I need
to know the names of his wife and children, which cemetery, and anything
else in the notice".

Within hours I received about twenty replies >from some wonderful
JewishGen'ers. Several of them included an Adobe Acrobat PDF of the Death
Notices >from the New York Times, for the day in December 1970 where my
cousin's death notice was published. It was generated by ProQuest Corp, a
service available at various libraries. Bingo! Just like that a
twenty-year-long, stumbling-searching amateurish effort was crowned with
success!

In the past year I have found four other "lost" cousins the same
way--through the discussion group. "Awesome" is the word that describes the
efficiency of our group. Sure the Jewish world is small, but, Hello!
Next I will try to find Melvin Weiss's widow Mildren and sons Richard and
Marc Weiss.

Thanks to all of you.

I suspect that at least some immigrants referred to the processing into the
country using language they heard >from former immigrants. My grandmother
entered the US somewhere around 1910 (she was born in 1897), but she, and
later my mother, who was born in the US, referred to any noisy, busy place
with a lot of commotion as a "kessel garden."

Rona Michelson

The lady's maiden name was Cohn, her former husband's name was
Vantijn or Van Tyn and "gesch" is short for "gescheiden" which means divorced.

In the past y and ij were used interchangeably. Now Dutch/Flemish
common spelling has settled for ij but both spellings coexist in
family names. e.g. searching in Infobel Belgium I found 1409 Heymans,
92 Heijmans, 8 Hymans and 2 Hijmans.

Best of luck,

I have an old newspaper article reporting on a Jewish woman from
Holland. Her name in the article is given two ways: "Cohn gesch Van
Tyn" and "Mrs. VANTIJN". Can someone explain the difference? I
understand Vantijn/Van Tyn as alternate spellings.

I am looking for the descendants of Bertha (nee SCHWAB) and Louis GUTMANN
(or GOODMAN in the census records). Bertha came >from Burgpreppach, Bavaria,
Germany and Louis also >from Germany, and they settled in Cincinnati, Ohio,
where they appear to have had 6 children (Emma, David, Elias, Blanche,
Salomon and Lillian). On grandson was Carence MARKS born in December 1893.
Does anyone know anything about this family.

With thanks and hoping to hear >from someone,

Hello everyone,
I found a listing of these "Mini-Memorials" that are installed on
sidewalks in front of some Cologne houses where Jewish people lived.
Check names in this (German-language) database:

visit the other pages.
