I have just posted to ViewMate five tombstones for which I would very
much appreciate translations of the Hebrew portions. The files can be
found at the following addresses:

I just received a phone call >from the Israel National Archives advising me
that due to new privacy regulations, they can no longer permit the public to
order (to see or copy) Mandatory Citizenship files that are less than seventy
years old, unless the Ministry of Internal Affairs give permission. (And why
should they??!)

The full regulations on the matter have not been published, so for the time
being we are in limbo. They said I should inquire further in two weeks.

Since the files that were not destroyed by the withdrawing Mandatory
Government do not begin until 1933, this new policy may wipe out this entire
database as a useful resource, though the microfilm index has not yet been
declared off-limits.

possibly a combination of Yiddish,Hebrew and Russian. I am hoping a
knowlegable genner will be able to translate them for me.

Could a fellow researcher assist in the translation of the birth record
of PEJSACH LEW born in Wysokie Mazowieckie, Poland in 1872.

According to my research his parents were Chunka (Chonko or Chuna) and
Dora (Dwreja).

Dave BARNETT and his wife (and half-niece), Rachel are listed in the 1900
Federal Census for Oil City, Pennsylvania though it took me forever to find them
because, as someone informed me, Dave is indexed as "Darra." (He is listed as
"Dare BARNETT is another census so this shouldn't surprise me, I guess.)

My poor copy of the 1900 census record looked as though the sapce for number
of children was blacked out. Again, someone with a clearer copy tells me that
the number of children is listed as 0.

In either case, this is strange because my information >from other sources
suggests that oldest daughter Florence/Florance (Mrs. Mark) GRINSPAN was born
about 1889 somewhere in Pennsylvania and that youngest daughter Daisy (Mrs. Abe)
FARBER was born in Tionesta on January 15, 1890.

Dave and Rae divorced a few years later, so perhaps the daughters were being
raised by relatives, but I haven't been able to confirm that. Anyone know where
they wree in 1900? The 1889 and 1900 birthdates could be off, but I don't think
by much, if at all.

Genners,
recently I downloaded a WWI Draft Registration Card (Manhattan, NY) and was
able to decipher almost anything, but two lines. At the bottom, there is
<Nearest Relative Name and Address> section. As far as I can see, it says
First line <Mother ??? Rose>
Second line <???? Fifth Ave>
May you please look at the picture and try to decipher unreadable parts? The

Thank you for your suggestions.

Dear All,
When I checked the JGFF to see who else might be researching METZGER
in Germany, only one name popped up as being as interested in METZGER >from
Kirchheimbolanden. This researcher was listed as Helmut Marum, Researcher # 14307.
I clicked the link, and wrote an e-mail, but as I have not received any reply
I was hoping someone out there might have current contact information for
him. TIA!
Shalom,
Judi Langer-Surnamer Caplan
