Thanks Rachel,
County histories can be very helpful. All should also be looking for local Jewish histories. The following URL will show you a list compiled in 2000 by the IAJGS (actually the LA-JGS). Searching the Library of Congress catalog may yield some published since then. http://www.iajgs.org/bibliography.html Gladys Friedman Paulin, CG Winter Springs, FL http://genealogybygladys.com

Re: POLACSEK
#germany
Jan Bousse <janbousse@...>
Hello Peter,
If Otto POLACSEK was deported >from Westerbork, Holland, he may have been living in Holland for some time and have renounced his Austrian citizenship or have been deprived of it. As for Helene Brand, the place she was deported from is Malines (Mechelen), not Malvines. Jews were deported >from the DossinKazerne in Mechelen. Information about the deportees can be obtained from the Joods Museum van Deportatie en Verzet in Mechelen, http://www.cicb.be. The e-mail address is infos@cicb.be. Or you can write to Miss Laurence Schram at the Museum, Goswin de Stassartstraat 153, 2800 Mechelen, Belgium. There was in Liège, Belgium, a Natan POLACZEK, I believe >from Warsaw, He was deported and died in Auschwitz in 1943. His wife Chana (Helene) nee Pisterman moved to Israel on 27.11.1984, she died in Haifa on 01.01.1987, based on information >from Liège. As far as I know one son lives in Israel and one here in Belgium. I don't know of course if they are related to your POLACSEK. Kind regards, Jan BOUSSE, Oostende, Belgium janbousse@skynet.be Peter Lande Washington, D.C. <pdlande@starpower.net> wrote: Otto and Helene POLACSEK are both listed in the Austrian Holocaust death

Pavoloch and Fastov Families in Canada
#ukraine
Linda Shefler <linsilv@...>
Hi ~
I am trying to locate family in Canada. Here is what I know: My great grandfather ABRAHAM SNOPARSKY (SCHNAPARSKI/SCHNAPARSKIJ/SNAPARSKY) aka AVRUM YANKEL bar YAACOV was born in 1875 in Pavoloch, Ukraine. He had a brother and a sister whose names I don't know. The brother and/or the sister emigrated to Canada and were there probably prior to 1908 when ABRAHAM immigrated to the US via Montreal. In the St. Albans manifest for 1925 I found a BORICH SCHNAPORSKI who crossed from Canada and went to visit someone in Detroit, MI. He was 19 years atthe time. With the name SCHNAPORSKI he must be a relative, but I don't know who to connect him with. ABRAHAM married ETTA NULMAN >from Fastov, Ukraine. Does anyone with family origins in either Fastov or Pavoloch have either SCHNAPARSKI (or any of the variety of spellings) or NULMAN in their family? If so, I would greatly appreciate hearing >from you. Please respond privately. Thank you. Regards, Linda Silverman Shefler Cary, NC linsilv@nc.rr.com

Please consider translating a chapter >from a Pinkas HaKehillot volume or engaging someone to translate it. We also need tables of contents translated for many of the Pinkasim. Each volume covers a specific geographical area: Germany, Greece, Hungary, Latvia & Estonia, Libya, Lithuania, Netherlands, Poland (7 volumes), Romania (2 volumes), Slovakia, Yugoslavia. There is a separate "chapter" for each town. Contact me privately if you have any qustions. Please also check the fundraising projects at http://www.jewishgen.org/JewishGen-erosity/v_projectslist.asp?project_cat=23. Funds raised pay for the translation of these important volumes. Without financial assistance these books will not be translated. Joyce Field JewishGen VP, Data Acquisition jfield@jewishgen.org http://www.jewishgen.org/Yizkor/translations.html

Pavoloch and Fastov Families in Canada
#general
Linda Shefler <linsilv@...>
Hi ~
I am trying to locate family in Canada. Here is what I know: My great grandfather Abraham SNOPARSKY (SCHNAPARSKI/SCHNAPARSKIJ/SNAPARSKY) aka Avrum Yankel bar Yaacov was born in 1875 in Pavoloch, Ukraine. He had a brother and a sister whose names I don't know. The brother and/or the sister emigrated to Canada and were there probably prior to 1908 when Abraham immigrated to the US via Montreal. In the St. Albans manifest for 1925 I found a Borich SCHNAPORSKI who crossed from Canada and went to visit someone in Detroit, MI. He was 19 years atthe time. With the name SCHNAPORSKI he must be a relative, but I don't know who to connect him with. Abraham married Etta NULMAN >from Fastov, Ukraine. Does anyone with family origins in either Fastov or Pavoloch have either SCHNAPARSKI (or any of the variety of spellings) or NULMAN in their family? If so, I would greatly appreciate hearing >from you. Please respond privately. Thank you. Regards, Linda Silverman Shefler Cary, NC linsilv@nc.rr.com

NATHAN Family of Pittsburgh, PA
#general
Linda Shefler <linsilv@...>
Dear All ~
You are a wonderful group and I want to thank you for the suggestions that have helped me find missing pieces to this never ending puzzle called family! I now have some additional requests for suggestions or information. I am looking for the descendants of Jennie R. NATHAN nee ROSENBLATT who lived in Pittsburgh, PA. She was born about 1873 (the census record says in Russia but it might have been Poland) and immigrated about 1889. I don't know the first name of her husband. Her children were: Abraham NATHAN born about 1900 Louis NATHAN baorn about 1902 Morris NATHAN born about 1906 Florence NATHAN born about 1909 Yette NATHAN born about 1915 I did check JGFF and wrote to someone who is researching the NATHAN family of Pittsburgh; to date I've had no response. If anyone is familiar with this family I would greatly appreciate hearing >from you. Please respond privately. Thank you and regards, Linda Silverman Shefler Cary, NC linsilv@nc.rr.com

GORDON? and Warts...

but there are lots and lots of Jews named GORDON, MILLER, etc...There are Gordons in my family, and I was wondering if Jews might have selected the name as a tribute to Lord George Gordon, the convert who died at the end of the 18th Century (chronology would be right)? If not, does anyone have any bright ideas (not sarcasm!) about where the name came from? By the way, we can add to Western-sounding Jewish names >from Eastern Europe the name Boot. As for warts, one man's wart is another man's beauty spot: When I told a cousin that our ggfather sold military accouterments to naval officers in St. Petersburg, and was rich, he practically had a panic attack. I didn't dare tell him that our gm spoke unaccented English when they arrived in the US, thanks to her English tutors in the old country. Of course if our ggf had operated the shtetl tavern and sold vodka to drunken cossacks, as many Jews did, my cousin would have been happy with lower class origins. Jules Levin Los Angeles
