Dear cousins,
I have both the Hebrew and Russian translated for this birth record but
wondered if someone would be willing to give me a Russian
transliteration. My Russian alphabet is rudimentary and handwritten and
old makes everything worse. This is exciting-my paternal grandmother's
sister, which may enable me to really track her family now!

This is a photo of a cousin of mine in some sort of Russian military /
organization garb. He was an officer in the Russian army, and was lost,
MIA, during WW2. He looks to be in his late teens in this picture, so that
puts it circa 1925-30. I am interested in finding out what the uniform is,
and what the insignia and medals are.

The picture was sent to me by his daughter, who now lives in Israel.
Although I have not yet got her note translated >from the Russian, I believe
she may have found this picture when going through her recently deceased
mother's belongings. My cousin knows very little about her father, as she
was a young child when he was lost, so both she and I would be interested in
any details. The Viewmate link is

Greetings,
This is my first posting to your Discussion Group.
As some of you already know, I have put online my first web site, a virtual
museum of Jewish family history. The URL is www.museumoffamilyhistory.com .
In the past year or two, I have undertaken a project to database burials

from most of the NY and NJ metro area cemeteries. On my web site you will

find overall grounds maps to over three dozen cemeteries in NY/NJ/FL, the
use of which will better prepare you for your next cemetery visit. Secondly,
there is a unique surnames list for eleven of the fourteen extant Lodz
society plots, as well as the two Lask plots, located in the NY-NJ metro
area. This means, e.g. that for the eleven combined Lodz plots, the Lodz
list contains all the unique surnames for those interred in these plots. If
anyone has a list of those interred in the Riverside, Baron Hirsch and
Independent Lodzer Young Men's plots and can send them to me, I will gladly
add the unique surnames to the list.
Hopefully, more plots will be databased and more unique surnames will be
entered onto the list in the near future. There is also a Links page, which
can connect you to over 350 genealogical and non-genealogical sites of
interest. You might also want to check the Museum's Updates page >from time
to time, which can be accessed through the Site Map.
I noticed that there are a great number of researchers interested in the
city of Lodz, so I hope that this information can do some good for many of
you. To access this list and others, go to the Site Map link and click on
Cemetery Project, then Names. There are similar lists for at least sixty or
seventy other towns and cities, mostly located in Poland, all of which list
the unique surnames of people interred in NY and NJ plots (not in Europe).
This information has not yet been presented to JewishGen and is not yet on
the JOWBR database.
Please visit my virtual museum at your leisure. Also, please consider
sending me some family photographs >from Lodz, Lask, elsewhere in Poland and

from Eastern Europe in general so that I may include them in my virtual

museum (see the exhibition "Postcards >from Home" on my site, accessed
through the Exhibitions link.) If you have any other material, family
stories and the like, or wish to put together an exhibition relating to
Jewish history that you think might be of interest to other visitors to my
museum, please contact me with your ideas and perhaps my site will serve as
a venue for your work.

Best wishes for continued successful research,

The period of 16-23 August 1943 marked the end for Jewish Bialystok. In
The Bialystoker Memorial Book, it is stated:

"During this period the final liquidation of the ghetto took place,
marked by heroic resistance of the ghetto Jews against the monstrous
oppressors. In that sorrowful week the ghetto was completely wiped off
the face of the earth, the resistance crushed in a wave of blood and
murder of the remaining 40,000 martyrs and Jewish Bialystok was turned
into a huge heap of ashes and dust."

Two ceremonies will commemorate this dark period in Bialystok's history
and the bravery of those who fought to the end.

In Bialystok, the commemoration will start at 12 Noon at the Memorial to
the Shoah Victims at the Zabia Street Ghetto Cemetery. Speeches by the
Mayor of Bialystok, a representative of the Israeli government, a
representative of the Jewish Community, and special guests >from overseas
will be followed by Kadish and the laying of wreaths and flowers to
honor the Bialystoker martyrs who perished during the Holocaust. After
the Ceremony, at 2:00 PM, all are invited to the Muzeum Wojska Polskiego
to view the exhibits, including "Bialystoker Jews at the Front during
World War II."

If you happen to be in Poland at this time, please try to attend.

In Israel, The Society of Former Residents of Bialystok and Surroundings
will hold the 62nd Remembrance Assembly at Kiryat Bialystok in Yehud.
The memorial will take place at 7:00 PM on Wednesday, 24 August 2005
near the Memorial Monument in the square of the Great Synagogue on Iccak
Melamed Street in Yehud.

If you live in Israel or happen to be visiting, please try to attend.

Well, Nathan Marcus Adler (1803-1890) was the Chief Rabbi in Britain. I've
no idea if this was the man after whom the Lodge was named.

Does the name Dr. Nathan Adler Lodge (associated
with Mt. Carmel cemetery in Queens, NY) sound familiar
to any of you?

Draft offices in Russian Empire were in many cases associated with basic
administrative entity - volost'. However not every volost' had a draft office.
Some of the offices changed their locations during period of 1870s - 1910s.

For Mozyr uyezd of Minsk Gubernia 1st draft office located in Mozyr (east),
2nd - in Turov (west) and 3rd - in Petrikov (center).

Have you tried Yechiel. There are lots of references to this name including
rabbis so it doesn't seem to be a version of another name.

The name Yekhiyel is a name in its own right. According to Russian Jewish
Given names by Boris Feldblyum it appears in Chronicles 23:8. Some of it's
more common abbreviations, nicknames or equivalents are
Khiel,Bunim,Mekl,Ikhiel.I hope this helps.
