Re: Misie as Female Given Name - mystery with Tysmieniczany records #galicia

There are many examples in many towns in Galicia where the child's
surname is not identified and where the father is also not identified.
This information is missing >from the original record.

Why is this information missing? My guess is that the child, Rubin, was
considered by the Austrian Government to be illegitimate. This means his
parents, who were most likely married in a Jewish religious ceremony,
were not married in a ceremony that could be registered with the civil
authorities. In many cases like this, the child's surname is not
recorded.

The fact that the father's name is missing could also mean that the
parents did not have a recognized civil marriage. Many times the
father's name is recorded when he signs a witnessed statement of
paternity. For some reason, this did not happen. It also could be that
the father had died before the birth. Since no other births to Misie
HORN appear in the Stanislawow indices, it could be that the father died
before childbirth.

children, please search the SIG List Archives at

Dera Mark,

Thank you kindly for your reply.

I'm afraid that mystery is not resolved.

Consider the following:

There are 243 records for town Tysmieniczany listed in JRI-Poland records.

With exception of three records listed in Bursztyn, and one record listed in
Rozdol for Tysmieniczany, all other 239 records ( thirty three in Kolomyja,
three in Nadworna and 203 in Stanislawow) do not include child and father
names.

What had happened in Tysmieniczany? Looks like a witch-hunt or some kind of
curse has declared all local women to be illegitimately married.

I can understand that in few cases this can happened but not in 239 out of
243.

Is there a possibility to examine at least one original birth record to
check annotations made by the local scribe or Stanislawow Rabbanut in order
to resolve the mystery. Can you please arrange this with AGAD folks?

Best,

I have read also your message related to Rubin Horn and Tysmieniczany

You are referring to information containing in JRI-P/ All Poland

It lists under Stanislawow (Ivano Frankovsk) records Akt 513,
Signatura 1225
Misie Horn (maiden name) >from Tysmieniczany as mother of Rubin, born
1891.

I would like to draw your attention to an unusual pattern regarding
Tysmieniczany records.

There 243 records (mostly births) related to town Tysmieniczany. With
a few
exceptions, in nearly all of them there is missing following data:

Child surname,
Father's surname
Father name
Father's town (town 1)

Is this something that missing >from the original records, which would
be a
bit unusual (how records were listed in the first place?) or it is an
omission on AGAD personnel in Warsaw who transferred the records to
Excel
format?

I am copying this letter to Mark Halpern with the request that he will
investigate the issue.

Hello JewishGenners,
I am trying to find anyone who has the specific BRCA-1 gene mutation called,
185del AG. If you or anyone in your family has this specific mutation, it
is very likely we are related in some way. Would love to compare notes, even
if we don't appear to share a surname in common. Our common ancestor could go
way back beyond the time surnames were used.

Thanks,

Re: Restoration of Rymanow (Galicia) synagogue #general

Great questions. What is the meaning and function of a rebuilt
synagogue in a Poland without Jews? Does this project have any popular
support or interest among local Polish residents? Has any work been done
explaining and educating local residents regarding this project?

Tilford Bartman, www.zabludow.com

Amazing.......they are rebuilding the Rymanov synagogue....

Question: *Who* is rebuilding the synagogue? Former residents or
people living now in Rymanov?
Is it going to be a holocaust memorial for those who perished or used
as prayer house?

Does anyone know of a Jonas BLUMENBERG in Brooklyn in 1946? #general

Leslie Weinberg <artsoul@...>
 

I have been told by a researcher that there was a Jonas BLUMENBERG
searching for a "Reich" family in Brooklyn NY in 1946. Jonas Blumenberg
was the name of my grandfather's nephew, Mozes, who we know got to
Israel in the 30s. I don't know where this Jonas originated from, but
what is interesting is that my grandmother's maiden name was "Reiss",
possibly "Reich" in Hungary. I don't see why this man, if there is a
connection, would not have been looking for, instead, the "Eisen"
family, which was the family which married into the Blumenberg line. Of
this is the same Jonas Blumenberg who was the father of my grandfather's
nephew, he was married to Hene Eisen, and might have been searching her
brother, my grandfather, Markus Eisen. Does anyone have any knowledge
of a Jonas Blumenberg at that time, and possibly a Mozes Blumenberg some
time later? The family came >from Tyczyn, Poland. Leslie Weinberg
