Dear Miriam Klein,

You are right: Zalman Leib or Yekutiel Yehuda Schonfeld (1883-1944),
the later Dayan of Ujfeherto, son of Rabbi Moshe Yochanan of
Ermihalyfalva, married Rivka Rosenberg (born 1889), daughter of Rabbi
Shaul of Ujfeherto. It was happened cca. 1907 in Ujfeherto.

Dear Elizabeth Feder,

The Schonfeld's in Mezolaborc/Medzilaborce and some other place in NE
Slovakia origined by Rabbi Pesach Avraham the Rav of Kurima.

I never found connection >from them to the Schonfeld's of Ermihalyfalva.

Re: Why won't Gesher Galicia search for the vital records of Dobromil #galicia

Alexander Sharon
 

Hi,

It appears to me that the problems with Dobromil records is associated with
the fact that Dobromil was not always the seat of the administrative
district.

Depending of the period in the Galicia history it looks like Dobromil was
falling under Przemysl, Sambor or Mosciska administrative regions.

May I suggest to Dennis to enter Dobromil name (town name) into JRI-P/All
Poland database and to analyze the results while searching for the family
surnames. There are 608 records for Dobromil and if marriage records are
omitted, there are several births records that indicated father's town and
residents town as Dobromil but records are listed under Przemysl, Sambor or
Stary Sambor as the records depositories. Same applies to the deaths
records.

In several instances father's name is not shown, and perhaps there are could
be more than just 608 records for Dobromil.

Perhaps Dobromil will surface at the later stage as the records depository
as we are entering into 20 century AGAD Archives records.

Re: Designation of unmarried partners #unitedkingdom

Yisrael Asper
 

I disagree. The job of a genealogist is to decide who is related to who.
Just living together is a piece of information to be included in the family
tree or not, but was not setup to be a relationship for genealogy neither
can a close friend be listed as a relative and you can be as close a friend
as any two friends can be, close or even closer than family. The only time
marriage has been recognized by a community as not needing to be recognized
by the state is when there has been persecution involved. Whether we like it
or not however if the state accepts gay marriage that is a relationship of
some sort like adoption.

Yisrael Asper

Dear Listers,

Many people have responded about whether a genealogy software program
can accommodate an unmarried couple. However, the technical aspects
of the program are of secondary nature when compared to the
sociological and personal preferences of the family genealogist.
Apart >from the potential sensitivity of the issue if "broadcasting"
the issue in a printout (or not), there is the issue of what does
married or unmarried mean? Is one married if only a religious
ceremony is carried out, or does it have to include a civil "union"
process as recognized by civil law?

Secondly, this issue has been raised before and people have generally
come down firmly on one side of the fence or the other. I think it is
important to record all the facts and all pertinent information "just
in case." One could end up in a situation if your connection to the
couple was via the female (if it is a heterosexual couple), one could
argue that by not recording the information we would be reverting to
the situation of the "missing female." The couple, be they same sex
or not, may not be married, but they may have created a legal
situation whereby one partner is to become the executor or have legal
responsibility in the case of medical illness.

Hence I think there are many good reasons for denoting the
information. I think that we as genealogists ought to be the last
ones to deciding what is or what isn't a relationship.

there will a number of you who will attend that! We have matters of
