Any help would be much appreciated.

Dear Suzanne,

the Memorial Book for the Deportees to the Baltic States comfirms the
information you have by the listing for

STRAUSSLER, Josefine
born 08 Aug 1892
last address: Liechtensteinstr. 103 in the 9th district of Vienna
deported >from Vienna to Riga on 26 Jan 1942 (of the 1201 people on
this transport only 36 are documented to have survived according
to the statistics in the volume)

Two additional points:
1) Note the spelling of the name: STRAUSSLER, perhaps that is one of the
reasons why you cannot find other records?
2) Note the spelling of the place name: Wiener Neustadt.

I hope that helps

Dear Suzanne,

Weiner Neustadt is not gone into oblivion - it is written Wiener Neustadt
(Shortened to Wr. Neustadt), a city 40 kilometers south of Vienna (Wien in
german). The city was founded about 1200 ac with the ransom for King Richard
the Lionhearted, who was kept imprisoned in Austria. The name Neustadt means
New City (Neue Stadt, Nova Civitas). Because many newly founded cities had
the same name, the name changed about 1700 to Wiener Neustadt, which means
New City (near) Vienna.

The old border to hungary was only some kilometers east of Wr. Neustadt;
now this old Western Hungary is the austrian county of Burgenland.

under http://www.dada.at/gems/judeninkrems/JudenWr.Neustadt.doc
you may find some informations about a STREUSLER family (owner of a
shoe shop) in Wr.Neustadt.

Regards

Paul

I have a vague recollection that someone on the list was interested
in a picture of R' David "Karliner" FRIEDMAN. A recently published
biography of R' Baruch Ber Leibowitz entitled "Harav Hadomeh
Lemalach" has such a picture on page 198.

Dear list members,

I would appreciate any help in translating marriage record dated 1868 from
Radomsko written in Russian. The married couple names are Zalman
Finkelsztajn and Lea Brener. Due to the unclear manuscript I was not able to
translate it by myself.

Both two pages of the record can be viewed at Viewmate:

I have just posted the only photograph we have of my father-in-law’s
children by his first marriage. These two little girls were believed
to have died in the Shoah.

The direct path to this file is:

http://data.jewishgen.org/ViewMate/ALL/viewmateview.asp?key=6110

Their father, Rubin JURYSZ, was born in 1910 in Sierpc, Poland, so his
daughters were probably born in the mid-1930’s. Their mother is believed
to be related to the NORDON family of Sierpc.

If you have any information regarding this family, please reply privately
to me at:

Thanks so much,

Viewmate File VM6108 is a photo (circa 1930) of my father-in-law, Rubin
JURYSZ, and his first wife (name unknown). This photograph is the only
record we have of this woman, who died in the Shoah, along with her two
daughters.

We believe she was related to the NORDON family of Sierpc, Poland (Plock
region). She may have been a first cousin to Sol NORDON, who emigrated
to the United States before the war and lived in New York City.

Those who made contribution to the Warsaw Ghetto Death Card database
were able to obtain a copy of the entire excel file. I have checked
in the excel file and there was no other person living in the same
apartment on the database.

I am searching informations about the family SMIETAN, wich was living=2
Nowolipki 31m28 before the war. I dont have news of their since 1939.

I am just discovering on JRI Poland the death card of Paulina Zarecka,
who was living precisely Nowolipki 31m28 in 1941 (before dying in July)
It is interessant for me to know the story of the appartement.

I ask the following: Is there a way to look up directly on the excel
file of the Warsaw Ghetto Death Card if other people had died who precisely
were living at Nowolipki 31/28?

Many thanks to advance

On 14th May, Tom Weiss asked about the location of the
military records of Eastern Galicia.

There exists at the family history library in Salt Lake City a very large
set of microfilms related to Austr-Hungarian Military records (around 3000
films). I once looked at a few of these films and it seemed like they
would hold a lot of useful info for researchers like us. However, there
doesn't seem to be any useful finding aid or good description of the
contents of these films. Needless to say I didn't find what I was looking
for.
