The "Sandak" (Godfather) at my Brit Mila (Bris) was the President of my late
father's Synagogue in Easton, Pa., Dr. Sidney WEINTRAUB. I presume (hope
not) that he has passed away by now (over 63 years ago), but I would be
interested to learn his or his children's whereabouts today.

After examining several pages of detained aliens on EIDB Series T715,
Roll 3324, Frames 392-399 it looks like Q.E. might stand for Ex Quota
and 1230 is the time of day of the Inquiry. In the 1920's immigration
quotas were established for each country, so many per year and so many
per month. The quota for your G-mother's country may have been exceeded
for the month of July.

I asked my Slovakian friend what it meant and she responded that it means
the day she was named, or literally, day she was given a name.

Hope that helps!

My great-grandmother's name was Ratse / Ratsa and she lived in

she changed her name in Canada, for I know that their surname was
changed. What name or names could she have adopted in Canada?

The Yiddish name Ratse for females was common in many European
countries. It was normal for women with that name to adopt local secular
names in other countries of immigration which began with the letter "R",
such as Rose in Canada and the US.

Richard Gilbert could try the Manchester Jewish Museum which has a website.
I went there in the summer and it has some useful documentary evidence. Also
Bill Williams' books about the Jews of Manchester (and other authors along
the same vein) which are available on the 2nd hand and antiquary book
websites such as xx

In his Jan.7 2006 message to this group, Elliot Fishman said that his
grandmother came >from Ratno and his grandfather >from Volochisk. I
can offer him no information about either grandparent, but as for
data on his towns, I want to call his attention to Jewishgen's Ratno
Hizkor book at:

http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/pinkas_poland/pol5_00187b.html

Also, Mr. Fishman has somehow gotten the impression that Volochisk is
now called "Wolinsk." This impression is erroneous. "Wolinsk" is
another version of Volhynia, the province in which Volochisk is
located. See:

http://www.shtetlinks.jewishgen.org/Volochisk/Volochisk.html

Also, there is a Volochisk message group to which Mr. Fishman may
want to subscribe at:

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Vololchiskans/

Lately the Volochiskan group has not been very active, but I have
particpated in it occasionally because I have distant relatives who
lived accross the Zbruch river in Podvolochisk.

I understand your problem as I am in Australia too.
Have you tried www.oldbaileyonline? I found a number of my relatives giving
evidence in trials and it helped me to solve many puzzles that I thought
would never be solved. Another great source is The Times - it is on line at
the State Library Victoria and I guess it would be at Sydney as well.

Have you found anyone else in Australia researching Solomon families. I
have done quite a bit of research on one Solomon family of London and
Melbourne and would be happy to share information with you.
