Dear Margaret,

I understand that Fran Segall has already forwarded copies of the birth records under the question to the Viewmate. This will allow us following the review to discuss the issue further. The appearance of those scanned pages may take some time - delay maybe due to the summer vacations or some other obstacles. Best Regards, Alexander Moderator Note: Fran, let us know when the record has been posted to ViewMate, so interested parties might study it. This thread is now on hold until then.

Margaret,First of all, I am not sure if "Morocznik" is indeed the name of a profession and not a family name.

(Is that possible?) Second, I have not encountered this word in Polish (and the spelling of this word, as shown on the record, is Polish), but there are so many words completely forgotten nowadays that I can't claim such word never existed. In any case, it (or rather "molocznik") certainly isn't the Polish word for milkman. I can't exclude the possibility that this is indeed the name of a profession (in Polish); in such case, it would be a Ukrainian- influenced, possibly dialectal word )which would be quite possible in Galicia). The occurrence of the first vowel instead of two consonants in this position in the word ("Mor-" instead of "Mr-") is very uncharacteristic for Polish, but quite frequent in Ukrainian -- or Russian, for that matter. The existence of the family name "Morocznik" is attested in Poland, although it seems to be a rare name. -Margaret Mikulska Warsaw, Poland / Princeton, NJ, USA

Finding Your Jewish Roots in Galicia
#galicia
Suzan & Ron Wynne <srwynne@...>
I have had many inquiries about when the second edition of my book will be
out. I had hoped that Avotaynu would have the book ready for the conference in Las Vegas in July because I had completed the manuscript many months before that. The publisher has at last begun work on the manuscript. I continue to be hopeful that it will be out by the end of the year. The Avotaynu catalog gives a 2005 publication date. The book is quite different since it focuses less on resources that are now available online and more on background and history and online resources, as well as books and articles. In many respects, it is not the same book as the first, but it will include the "gazetteer" that so many found useful (including some corrections and additions left out of the first edition). There will be some additional illustrations. It will be in paperback, which should make it a bit less expensive. Suzan Wynne Kensington, MD

Emigration from Galicia to Hungary
#galicia
Suzan & Ron Wynne <srwynne@...>
Before 1830, very few Jews lived in Hungary and many of those who were
there, were Sephardim who had come during the Ottoman period. But, between 1830 and 1848, Galician and other Jews >from the Austrian empire, began to find their way to the economic opportunities that Hungary offered. In 1848, Hungarians rose up in armed revolt against Austrian rule and the status quo. In the days before Austria put down the revolt, the revolutionary Hungarian Diet emancipated the Jews, among many other actions. Although Austria regained its hold over Hungary, Emperor Franz Josef had to give in to pressure and create what became a power sharing arrangement in the dual monarchy known subsequently as the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Until Franz Josef emancipated his empire's Jewish subjects in a series of decrees >from 1868-1869, with Galician Jews being the last to be emancipated, Hungary continued to be a place that offered Jews more freedom and greater economic opportunities. Also, as Franz Josef sought to appease revolutionary pressures in Galicia, he gave more local control to regional government in that Crownland and those governments were able to pass their own very harsh and restrictive laws with respect to the Jews. Hungary, on the other hand, was a more liberal environment where Jews were relatively protected. All of these developments encourged emigration >from Galicia to Hungary. The emigration seems to have involved more Jews >from the western portion of Galicia, rather than the eastern portion, most likely because of proximity and ease of travel by long established trade routes. I have been struck by how many Jews born in Galicia were represented in Hungarian vital records and the censuses. Suzan Wynne Kensington, MD

Catskills Institute Conference 26-28 August
#general
Schelly Talalay Dardashti
Dear Genners,
Did you have family in the Catskills? Did you spend summers there with your family? Any connection to area hotels and bungalow colonies? If so, this is for you. The 11th Catskills Institute Conference will be held at Kutsher's, Fri-Sun August 26-28. The non-profit Catskills Institute preserves the legacy of area Jewish life, headed by Brown University sociology professor Dr. Phil Brown, whom I've known for years. He's amassed a great archive of Catskills information on people and places. The conferences, speakers, attendees are fascinating. As a product of long summers at Kauneonga Lake (the other side of White Lake, 10 miles past Monticello), I am impressed by his great success in creating and growing this archive. Phil's parents ran a hotel called Brown's in White Lake. This year's theme, co-sponsored by the Jewish Women's Archive, is "Jewish Women, Comedy, and the Catskills." The weekend includes slide shows, lectures, live klezmer music. Talks include "Staging the Ideal Jewish Community: Women Hotel Owners in the Catskills 1950-1970," ">from Alan King to Billy Crystal: The Changing Face of Catskills Comedy," "'For the Amusement of the Guests:' "How Gertrude Berg Brought the Catskills to Radio and Television,""Catskills and Context: Putting Together a Museum Exhibition on Jewish-American Vacation Culture," "My Yiddishe/Red Hot Mama: A Short History of Jewish Women in Comedy," "Catskills Revisited: Creating a Book for Young Readers," "The Unkosher Comediennes: >from Sophie Tucker to Joan Rivers." For more information go to catskills.brown.edu. For info on the Jewish Women's Archive,go to www.jwa.org. With great nostalgia for the long ago and far away, Schelly Talalay Dardashti Tel Aviv schelly@allrelative.net Granddaughter of Sidney and Bertha (Tollin) Fink of Fink's Kauneonga Lake bungalow colony.
