Re: First Jews in England

Further to this discussion.
About six weeks ago, one of my JFRA Israel members (Ra'anana branch), David Schulman brought a book called "The Lost Jews of Cornwall" to his presentation on the early Jews of England. I only had time to take a cursory glance, but found it fascinating. Sorry I cannot provide the author's name. The focus is on a lost period of Jewish involvement in Cornwall area mining, with examples of terms used in mining operations, all referring to Jews in some manner. Perhaps one of our UK members might be able to provide more information on this volume and the general contents. Best wishes, Schelly Talalay Dardashti Now temporarily in New York City schelly@allrelative.net

i find it very difficult to make out the letters (maybe you could post a higher resolution scan or more of the rest of the page for context?), but the first looks like a shin and the last looks like a heh. obviously "zoltan" would be a male name, so the only two male names that i can think of that might fit are "shlomo" and "shemarya".

you can check the mormon's archives online >from their web site, to see if they have b/m/d records for keszthely, in which case you can order the film(s) through your local "family history centre", usually located in one of their churches. and you can also write to the austrian kriegsarkiv in vienna. they don't have everything, but they do answer mail, and will do searches on request.

Re: WWI military records

MSankar <sankosy5@...>
Regarding Danielle James' question about military records............
I had also wanted info about my greatgrandfather who had been in the navy, and wrote to the Austrian military archives: O"sterreichisches Staatsarchiv Kriegsarchiv Nottendorfer Gasse 2 1030 Wien They were able to provide me with his year of birth, date he entered the service, and his company number. The archive informed me, however, that after 1918, the Matriculation papers (which would likely have more personal information as well) were returned to the countries that were no longer part of Austria at that time - in my greatgrandfather's case, Hungary. I then wrote to the Hungarian military archives: Hadto"rte'nelmi Leve'lta'r Kapisztra'n te'r 2-4 1250 Budapest Their response was a very brief line informing me that they had no info on my ancestor, and that their archives mainly had data of professional officers. Perhaps these addresses may be of some help. Good luck! Michele Sankar Ontario

HAJDU/ RYBICSKA - Hungarian Railways
#hungary
Lachaus
I am looking for any information on
Mor Ferenc HAJDU, born in Budapest in 1861 (son of Jakab HAUSER and Lotti ROTH) and any children he may have had. He changed his name >from HAUSER to HAJDU in 1898. Mor HAJDU worked as an engineer for MAV the Hungarian State Railways in Szeged. He married Paula RYBICSKA. Do the Hungarian Railways give information on their deceased staff? Can anyone shed light on the origin of the RYBICSKA surname? It seems to be unusual. Many thanks in advance Paula HAUSER Brussels from Budapest:HAUSER, HAJDU,WEINER, HOROWITZ, FRANKFURTER, ROTHSTEIN, STRASSER, SEEMANN, SCHROTER RUBINSTEIN (Budapest/Sieniewa)

Books of Residents and Census Registers, etc.
#poland
Dear friends:
Fay Bussgang's message about Books of Residents, Census Registers, etc., prompts me to share some news >from the "What's New in Jewish Records Indexing - Poland" presentation at the International Conference on Jewish Genealogy last week in Las Vegas. In referring to the recent meeting of representatives of JRI-Poland and the Polish State Archives, I mentioned that: "For a number of years, JRI-Poland has been indexing Books of Residents and Census Registers >from all over Poland. As a result of the researcher response to these new sources, and their generosity in making the indexing possible, an annex has been added to the JRI-Poland/PSA agreement that formalizes this expansion and opens the doors to the indexing of any – I repeat ANY -- type of Jewish record with genealogical content." While spending your money on private research will ferret out records for only your own family, joining with fellow researchers to index these records through JRI-Poland will make these records accessible to your own family -- as well as other families with roots in that town. It is this spirit of sharing that characterizes the success of JRI-Poland. To start or participate in such a cooperative project, first identify the record collection >from the Polish State Archives website. Then please contact the Archive Coordinator for the Archive Branch in which the registers are held. You can find the name and email address of the Archive Coordinator at: www.jri-poland.org/psa/status.htm I am the Archive Coordinator for Pultusk. Please do not write to me about records in other Archives as the Archive Coordinator for your Archive will be best able to respond knowledgeably to you. Stanley Diamond Executive Director, Jewish Records Indexing - Poland Fay Bussgang wrote: "In addition to being able to find online what vital (metrical) records exist for each town, E.L.A. (Ewidencje Ludnosci w Archiwaliach -- Evidences of Population in Archival Collections) is now online at the State Archives of Poland Web site [Just go to Google and type in 'State Archives of Poland"]. It is a database of all registers of population - books of residents, lists of Jews, lists of dentists and doctors, members of unions -- you name it. What is available for each town differs widely. The initial page is in English."
