I just want to thank everyone who answered my question about finding
records for someone who was in the Polish Army at the beginning of WWII.
I apologize for not responding to each individual, but I got hit by
Hurricane Wilma, and life is not back to normal yet. (I was hit
Hurricanes Frances and Jeanne last year. The damage wasn't yet repaired
when we got hit again.) So, being on-line and doing genealogy are kind
of on the back burner for now.

Again, thanks to all who responded.

Dear Roni & Joe,

Thank you both for your interesting & informative explanation of the current
situation in the indexing of Lodz records. I have a great deal of ancestry

from Lodz, & I've been dying to see post-1901 indexes go online for several

years now. I had no idea of the Seven Year Initiative, so your posting has
made things much easier for me (& everyone else, I'm sure) to understand.

I'm sure we all appreciate the hard work you & your team have put in &
continue to put in to this task, and we all look forward to the day when
more indexes will finally go online. I'm desperate to find my
great-grandparents' marriage (GOLDBERG & TEMPELCHOF), c.1903. Do you have an
approximate date or time frame when you expect to upload the indexes
relating to the Seven Year Initiative?

Best wishes & many thanks,

Saul Marks

Direct ancestral families being researched >from Lodz & surrounding area:

GOLDBERG (in Kamiensk until 1820s, then Grocholice, then Lodz >from 1870s, I
think)
CYMBERKNOPF (in Rozprza as early as 1770s, until WWII. Married into Goldberg
1827)
KOMOROWSKI (in Lodz as early as 1830s, until WWII. Married into GOLDBERG
1872)
RUDECKI (in Lodz as early as 1800s. Married into KOMOROWSKI late 1830s)
TEMPELCHOF (in Konstantynow Lodzki until early 1880s, then Lodz. Married in
GOLDBERG c.1903)
WOZOWSKI (in Konstantynow Lodzki as early as 1820s. Married into TEMPELCHOF
early 1820s)
WOLKOWICZ (in Konstantynow Lodzki as early as 1840s. Married into TEMPELCHOF
1849)
KRZYWE (in Aleksandrow Lodzki as early as 1870s. Married into TEMPELCHOF
1878)
SZMIDBERG (in Aleksandrow Lodzki as early as 1870s. Married into Krzywe date
unknown)

Since requests have recently been made for assistance in
obtaining photographs or transcriptions of headstone
inscriptions in Lodz New cemetery, I shall repeat my own
request of some weeks ago. I am requesting assistance in
regard to the inscriptions on the headstones of the graves
of:
WENGROWSKI, Jala, died 1895, right side,field CZ, street

WENGROWSKI, Fajga, died 1922, left side, field CZ, street

Dear Saul,

It appears Leon was returning to his home in the U.S.
in 1913. The manifest lists his wife Annie as a
citizen and there address on Willowhby Ave. in
Brooklyn, NY.

In the 1910 Census they were at the same address with
a son Harry who was 12. Both Harry and Annie were
listed as being born in NY. There is an NY birth
record of a Harry Rosenblatt for 26 Aug 1898. Hope
this is a start.

Sincerely,
Yehudah ben Shlomo

Dear Lodz Area Researchers,

I am so pleased to announce that Joe Ross agreed to serve as
Town Leader for Lodz at Jewish Record Indexing-Poland as well
as a contact person for Lodz. Joe has been assuming much of
the responsibilities of Town Leader for Lodz over the past
several years. Now he will be official! As a new Archive
Coordinator, I am very grateful to be working with Joe. In
addition to his duties as Town Leader for Lodz, he wears the hat
as contact person for Szczercow, Zgierz, and just agreed to be
the contact for Lodz.

Welcome to another volunteer, Leon Weintraub of Sweden, who has
agreed to serve as the contact person for Dobra.
Leon has been working hard over the past several years to
create a Memorial for the Jews of Dobra which is near Turek.
The Municipality of Dobra expressed a desire to establish such
a monument commemorating the Jewish history in Dobra. After
long negotiations, Leon was finally able to sign an agreement
October 3, that enables the memorial to be constructed. It
will be erected on part of the site of the former Dobra
synagogue, which was destroyed by the Nazis. To learn more
about this project, contact Leon at Leonweintraub@comhem.se.

The Town Contacts for the towns in LARG can be found at:
http://www.shtetlinks.jewishgen.org/Lodz/LARGtown.htm We have
several "orphan" towns that need volunteers as contacts. Please
consider volunteering for this position.

Let us not forget or neglect all the LDS records that are
microfilmed for our towns. Films may be ordered at any one of
the thousands of local Family History Centers worldwide. In
addition to the complete collection at the Family History
Library (FHL) in Salt Lake City, there are also locations where
large collections of FHL films are permanently available. The
Jewish Records Indexing-Poland Project with its goal to index all
the vital records for our LARG towns needs your help. We need
volunteers to index these records. If you cannot get to a
Family History Center but would be able to work at home
inputting data into an excel spreadsheet, please let me know.
You can join a Shtetl CO-OP if one exists for your town, see
http://www.jewishgen.org/jri-pl/shtetl/status.htm, or order
the microfilms for your town of interest and work on your own. No
matter how you do it, there are many people ready to help.

If you have never done this before, there are many of us ready
and willing to help you become familiar with the process. I
recall when I first looked at the Polish indices, I thought I'd
never ever be able to decipher the letters. Now only a few
years later, I can even plow through some of the Cyrillic
records for my family, albeit sometimes checking letter by
letter. It is a great sense of accomplishment when you can look
at your ancestor's Polish marriage record and know what it
says!!! Please consider joining the team so we can
benefit >from all our efforts.

All the best,
Roni
