This is Eric Feinstein. I am a volunteer for the JOWBR. We have made a
special effort to add German records >from many corners (sources) over
the past few years. As of the last update we have 1280 cemeteries with
some 240,929 burials indexed for Germany.
[Select Germany in the country list at:
https://www.jewishgen.org/databases/Cemetery/tree/CemList.htm ]

This number does not include the former German areas of Poland
where we have indexed some 88 cemeteries with a further 25,717 burials.

More is on the way. That said there are many large record sets that
we have not succeeded in making headway. This includes large cemeteries
in Frankfurt am Main, Hannover, Munich, Leipzig and others.

Any assistance would be appreciated, especially >from anyone in Germany
open to lobbying on our behalf. Just a note that "help" does not

Dear Fellow Bialystokers:

Did you know that there is a Yizkor Book project for Bialystok? This
project has been going on for a number of years. Only recently have we
identified a very proficient and committed translator of both Yiddish
and Hebrew who is now translating for us.

This project is for translation of Pinkos Bialystok (The Chronicle of
Bialystok) by A.S. Hershberg. This is not your usual Yizkor Book. This
is actually a two volume History of the Jews of Bialystok that
chronicles our history >from its beginnings up to the 1930s. The author
perished in the Bialystok Ghetto, but he was able to send his Yiddish
manuscript to his son in New York. The two volume history was published
in New York after World War Two.

You will find a full table of contents at
https://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Bialystok/Bialystok.html. If you scroll
down, you will notice that Volume I, Chapters 2 and 6 are now complete
as a result of our new translator. Names indexes to both volumes can be
found at https://kehilalinks.jewishgen.org/BialyGen/Pinkos1_Index.htm
and https://kehilalinks.jewishgen.org/BialyGen/Pinkos2_Index.htm.

It is you, Bialystok researchers, who drive this translation project. We
need your contributions to be able to continue the translation of these
books. No contribnution is too small. Find a Chapter or Section that is
of interest to you or that contains the names of your ancestors and make
a contribution. To sponsor an entire Section or Chapter will cost $30 US
per page. By sponsoring a Chapter or Section, you will not only support
your own research, but help our community of Bialystokers gain a better
understanding of our history.

Contributions can be made through JewishGen-erosity at
https://www.jewishgen.org/JewishGen-erosity/v_projectslist.asp?project_cat=23.
Use the sixth project "Bialystok, Poland - Yizkor Book" for your
donations.

If you would like to sponsor an entire section or chapter, please let me
know which section or chapter and the amount of your contribution. I
will make sure that your section or chapter gets translated in a prompt
manner. Contact me at mark@halpern.com with your sponsorship or with any
questions you may have.

Thanks in advance.

Hello,

I will be traveling to Poland in August with my son, visiting Krakow,
Dobrowa Tarnowska (where my maternal grandmother's family is
from), Tarnow and Kielce. Can someone suggest an English-speaking
contact to help us connecting with the Jewish community in those places?

Also, has anyone heard of the town GIZEJIKANIS which was probably once
in Russia but seems Lithuanian?

Thank you.

I would like for a moment to call the attention of Litvak and Belarus
researchers to discuss the status of Yizkor Book translations for the
region encompassing roughly Lida-Voronova-Dieveniskes-Vilna.

I consider YBs, when properly transformed into searchable data, to be as
important as Revision Lists, Family Lists, B/M/D Records, or Internal
Passport Lists. They even do these types of lists one step better by
providing enriching and unforgettable insights into what life and people
were actually like in these places during these times.

If I may, here is a snippet >from the Dieveniskes Book which shows the
level of genealogical detail which may be found in these books. To
acquire this much information via traditional primary records would take
years:

"In my youth, my grandfather Leyb was the owner of a glassmaking
workshop in Soletchnik. After Jews were forbidden to live in the
villages, he relocated to Divenishok and purchased a large home on the
corner of Geranion and Subotnik, which was used as a motel for
passers-by. It was there that grandfather and grandmother passed away.

My mother Zippa, of the Sharashevski family >from Kovne, died in the
prime of her life in 1912, and we small children were left behind. In
order to stop my eldest brother >from being enlisted in the Tsarist
military, my father sold a horse and a cow, and sent him to England.

Next in line was my sister Khayeh whom married Yitzhak Levin. After her,
Shifra, married Avraham Kotler. After her, my brother Yosef who married
Radke Moshe Aharon's, and I, the youngest in the home, married Zemakh
Masukutnik's daughter."

As essential as the YBs are, they remain, in many instances, outside the
mainstream of Jewish genealogical research. The main reason is the lack
of English translations (please see the list below). The second is that
even when translated the data is difficult to mine because it is not
fully integrated into regional databases such as JewishGen's Belarus and
Lithuania Databases and JRI-Poland. Thus, researchers who do not know
their specific town(s) or even region of origin will never find
themselves in these books.

Sooooo, I am seeking to jump-start translation and data-mining for the
towns in Lida-Vilna region (by data mining I mean the ability to find YB
data using the JewishGen database search-engine:
https://www.jewishgen.org/databases/Yizkor/Names/).

Since I am already preparing two YBs in this way I cannot take on any
more for now. I can, however, mentor anyone as to the mechanics of how
to project-manage a translation, including guidance on raising funds,
finding translators, and preparing the manuscript and data, etc.
Knowledge of Hebrew and/or Yiddish is not required.

Please contact me if you can take on the honorable responsibility of
managing one of these projects, perhaps one of the towns of your own
ancestry for the sake of your own research. I hope to collaborate with
some of you on this important work.
