Dear Friends,
JewishGen is extremely pleased to announce the formation of the JewishGen Danzig/Gdansk Special Interest Group (SIG), which will focus specifically on Danzig -- now Gdansk, Poland -- including its precursor communities of Altschottland, Langfuhr, Mattenbuden, Weinberg, and Danzig in der Breitgasse, as well as Tiegenhof/Nowy Dwor Gdanski. The unique history of this community and the exceptional survival of its records presents a marvelous opportunity for collaborative genealogical research under the JewishGen umbrella. If you have research interests in this area we urge you to join the Danzig mailing list by visiting < http://lyris.jewishgen.org/listmanager >. We also invite you to visit the website at < http://www.jewishgen.org/Danzig >. where you will see that contributions of family histories, memoirs, photographs, maps, and other material of interest will be welcomed.. Details about SIG projects aimed at making Danzig genealogical resources more accessible, will be available on the website in the very near future. Stay tuned! Our thanks to Logan Joseph Kleinwaks , Coordinator of the SIG and Elsebeth Paikin, Moderator of the mailing list for taking a leadership role in proposing and organizing this entire effort to add to the programs and projects JewishGen provides. . We hope you are also excited and will join us as we embark on a new era of Danzig Jewish genealogical research. We also encourage anyone who has interests in this area and the historical records which will ultimately reside on JewishGen to volunteer to help with projects. Some projects may require funding, and we would appreciate your support in the form of tax-deductible (in the U.S. and Canada) donations via the dedicated JewishGen-erosity page < http://www.jewishgen.org/JewishGen-erosity/v_projectslist.asp?project_cat=31 > Please join us in welcoming the research opportunities which the JewishGen Danzig/Gdansk SIG will provide to all with an interest.

Pumpenai Internal Passports-1919-1940
#lithuania
Howard Margol
On or before February 24, I expect to receive the entire collection of
Pumpenai Internal Passports, 1919-1940, translated into English. Due to the 100 year privacy law in Lithuania, researchers are not allowed access to these files. However, I have made a special agreement with the archives to allow researchers chosen by me, and approved by the archives, to view the files and copy the important data contained therein. I do not expect this Pumpenai file to benefit me personally but I am confident it will be very beneficial to many others. Based on the files I have seen so far, the documents in the files provide very important information in almost every case. These files do not include only those Jews who lived in Pumpenai. Some applicants lived in a nearby shtetl and applied for their internal passport in Pumpenai. Consequently, you may find ancestors who lived near Pumpenai but not in the city itself. Also, some lived in Pumpenai but were born elsewhere in Lithuania. That information is included as well. To view the introduction to the project, and to search the database, please go on the internet to - http://www.jewishgen.org/databases/Lithuania/InternalPassports.htm At some time in the future the data >from the Pumpenai internal passport files will be added to the database and will be available to all. However, you will only be able to search the database for a particular surname. There is a great advantage in being able to see all of the data for ALL of the Jews, over the age of 17, who filed an application in Pumpenai during 1919-1940. Among other advantages, it gives you the opportunity to find ancestors and relatives you were not aware of who were living in Pumpenai. If you are interested in receiving the entire collection of Pumpenai internal passports, please contact me privately. Howard Margol Atlanta, Georgia homargol@aol.com www.pusalotas.org

Re: Slovakian Death records
#hungary
Bob Lenk
At the website of the Slovak Embassy (to the US) there are applications
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
for birth, marriage, and death certificates. These can be sent with payment and a photocopy of your driver's licence or passport, to the Embassy or one of the Consulates, depending on where in the US you live (instructions are on the forms). These forms require that you know the date and location of the birth/death/marriage. Otherwise, there is a form for genealogical research, which is a different process (form sent to the archives, who bill you before sending results). Links to all these forms are at: http://www.slovakembassy-us.org/application%20for.html The forms are in English and Slovak. I recently sent in a request for a birth certificate. I asked how long it would take, and they told me about 3 months. Bob Lenk Greeley, Colorado, US Sam Schleman wrote:

Dear Roger,

Thanks very much for your introduction. Even if you do not have a known connection to Danzig itself, we will, of course, welcome your contributions and expertise. Regarding microfilms: Information will be posted here and in the Projects section of the SIG website (www.jewishgen.org/danzig) about projects to extract data >from microfilms, when/if those projects are approved by JewishGen. Please stay tuned for details. Regarding the IAJGS conference: Hopefully, there will be an opportunity for Danzig SIG members to meet at the conference. As soon as something is arranged, I will post about it here and on the website. If anyone learns of other talks of special interest to Danzig SIG members, please let us know. Best regards, Logan Kleinwaks Coordinator, JewishGen Danzig/Gdansk SIG kleinwaks@alumni.princeton.edu near Washington, D.C.
