Thanks to the efforts of David Lewin, we have an English translation of the
Gdansk chapter of Yad Vashem's Pinkas HaKehillot Polin vol. VI. Before
posting the translation online, it would be helpful to have another person
fluent in Hebrew and English proofread it for accuracy. If you would like
to volunteer, please contact me privately. The translation is about 9700
words, 20 pages of 12pt text, in length.

Thanks very much and best regards,

I was doing some work in the Jewish Chronicle archive and found this item of
1909 about Letchworth. The Garden City had been formed a few years before
and it is known that it was in the Second World War that a Jewish community was
established there.
The JC of 9 April 1909 page 9 has this:
'Last Sunday evening, Mr. David Goodman, a member of the Council of the Ito,
addressed a crowded religious meeting held at the Howard Hall, Letchworth
Garden City, on the objects of the Jewish Territorial Organisation .. In
addition to delivering the address Mr. Goodman read the lesson >from the Bible
(Isaiah, chap. II), and also gave short extracts >from the Talmud.'

There may have been the odd Jew living there but hardly enough of them to
form a crowded meeting. Would non-Jews have been interested in the Jewish
Territorial Organisation, the old Testament, and the Talmud? If not one wonders
what Jews would have(apparently) especially gone to Letchworth for a meeting?

Or is there some explanation which I have missed?

First thanks to all those who've worked so hard to make these records
available via ALD.

I was doing my monthly search earlier today, when, for the first time, I
found a record relating to my great-grandfather.

It was his marriage record. Chaim Korb married Leah Mera [miriam]
Rabin.

I have two problems:

a) Chaim's father is listed as Israel, when it should be Sha'ul.

Could this be a tranliteration error?

b) The wedding dates (Hebrew and English) don't match. according to the
English date listed, the hebrew date should be Sivan 10, but it's listed
as 21.

So, my questions are: who supplied the information in the registry?

Is there additional information to be found beyond what appears in the
table on the Litvaksig website?

And also, how can I get a look at the photocopy that was used as a
source for the ALD listing?

Thank you,
