Vital Records Indexing Project Update - Vilna Vital Records Matching Funds
#lithuania
Joel Ratner
I am pleased to announce the funds necessary to take full advantage of the
$1000 challenge grant by the Baron family have been received. These contributions, along with the matching funds, will allow approximately two years worth of Vilna city records to be translated. There are 80 years worth of records in total for Vilna, so we are off to a good start. The ability to complete all remaining records will require similar contributions on the part of others. If anyone else wishes to make a similar challenge grant, please contact me at Joelrat1@hotmail.com . Joel Ratner Coordinator, Vilna District Research Group Interim Coordinator, Vilna Vital Records

again for my Grandmother's father's lumber mill. Growing up, I had heard many anecdotes about her visits to the lumber yard. The surnames I checked were AWNER [my Grandmother's maiden surname] and WECHSLER [her Grandfather's surname]. I checked both DM and exact spelling. The documents which I have in my possession list Lemberg/L'vov as my Grandparent's home. The Town listings in the 1891 Galician Business Directory for WECHSLER [Sawmill] are Smorye and Skole. I didn't find a reference to either town in Shtetl Finder - I then GOOGLED and found information on Skole [a district town in L'vov] but not Smorye.

Galician Directories-Another Perspective
#poland
Pamela Weisberger <pweisberger@...>
In a response to Janice Rosen's question:
<<How does one find a business that was not listed, but you know >from family lore that the business DID exist? My great grandfather Joseph Rosenblatt owned a tavern in or near Rozwadow, Galicia during the 1880's and 1890's. That's how he earned his living. However it is not listed in the Galician Business Directory >from the 1890's.>> I suggested that she check in to the Polish landowner records >from the town of Rozwadow, but then I also decided to re-check the 1891 Galician Business directory and did find several ROSENBLATT listings, with a JOSEF ROSENBLATT, a Jewish landowner, living in MICHALOWKA, near RADYMNO as opposed to ROZWADOW: ROSENBLATT Josef Town: Michalowka Near: Radymno Gutsbesitzer Landowners (with Mansion/farm) ROSENBLATT Josef Town: Radymno Getreide- Und Productenhandler Grain & Produce Dealer ROSENBLATT Moses Town: Radymno Getreide- Und Productenhandler Grain & Produce Dealer So then I enlisted the help of Alex Sharon to figure out the relationship between the towns Radymno, Michalowka, and Rozwadow. Here's what he suggested: "Josef Rosenblatt seems to be same person as the landowner listed in 1891 Directory in Michalowka near Radymno and again in Radymno as the grain dealer. Moses Rosenblatt appears to be his relative. And there is trick with Rozwadow location since there were two Rozwadows in Galicia m. Rozwadów Tarnobrzeg Lwów Rozwadów Zydaczów Stanislawów Rozwadow (Rozvadov, Rozvaduv, Rozvadiv, Razvandov) near Zydaczow ( without the post office and other communication facilities) is located near Mikolajow (on the Dniester River). It was small sleepy town with very small Jewish population (23 Yiddishe people acc. to WOWW) On the other hand, Rozwadow near Tarnobrzeg had 1,790 Jewish souls (66% of the total population) Rozwadow is located 60 miles distance >from Przemysl were lots of Rosenblatts are listed in JRI-P All Poland database. Radymno is located only 12 miles >from Przemysl. Thus, Radymno and Rozwadow in western Galicia seems to be correct towns locations, not Rozwadow near Mikolajow. Another geographical curiosity: Rozwadow in western Galicia was a suburb of Tarnobrzeg, this is why second Rozwadow is not listed in 1912 Galicia phone book. Tarnobrzeg is not listed either and this is because town name during Austria was Dzikow, but Dzikow is not listed either and beats me. Rosenblatts are not listed in the 1929 Directory, perhaps they have already sold the business at this time or they have already left Galicia to the States." The point of this analysis is to look at the names in conjunction with the towns AND the occupations, along with JRI-Poland's vital records index to determine where your ancestors had businesses and where they might have lived. One can't simply rely on one phone or business directory, and the absence of information may not definitively mean that the person didn't live or work in a particular town--or that there might not be two towns with similar names. Is this the right Josef Rosenblatt, or did another one live and work in Rozwadow, but not have a listing in the business directory of 1891? Did the Polish magnate landowner for Rozwadow employ him, or was he the landowner (as opposed to a tavern owner) listed in the directory for Radymno? That's what research is all about--a continuing quest for clarity. (And thanks, again, to Alex Sharon!) Pamela Weisberger Research Coordinator, Gesher Galicia pweisberger@hotmail.com Santa Monica, CA

Finding ancestors in new Suwalki index
#poland
dayna reader <zoeys_mom@...>
hello all,
a couple of weeks ago, i donated to the JRI indexing project for Suwalki gub (town on Sejny) and received the excel spreadsheet with an index for my town. i was just sitting here playing around with it and came up with something very interesting i thought might be useful for others who have received this index. i remember reading the FAQ at JRI saying that surnames were often wrong or misspelled, so i decided to sort the spreadsheet by father's name 1st, then by mother's name then by surname, so that all the people who had parents with teh same first names would be grouped together now i had everyone who had parents with the same first names grouped together REGARDLESS OF SURNAME. and i found more than one person whom i'm fairly certain is a member of my family this way, who i might never have found if i'd kept the spreadsheet sorted alphabetically by surname. the surnames were similar enough, and the parents names were identical, so i was able to tell they were the same family. i hope this makes sense and that it might work for someone else. happy hunting! dayna chalif san francisco USA

My father's father was born in London "on the way over" to NY. I've had no idea if that meant they spent the afternoon in the harbor, or several years there. The family has always "known" the birth date, and I spent half a day at the archives in London, but came up dry. As an aside, in the records of several years before, I found birth records for quite a number of Solomon Cohens, but none of the parent info was even close. Even then it seems, first names went through waves of popularity. Turns out, however that he was known as Sol, not Solomon, because it was short for Zalmon. No Zalmons either. Any insights into births in London to families in transit?

Re: Galician Directories-Another Perspective
#galicia
symphonia@...
Hi Pamela,
Thanks for that in depth research. I don't read Polish or German well enough to figure out some of those things in the directories. Not everything is in English. I did see the Joseph Rosenblatt in the listing for Michalowka but did not realize there were two Roswadows in Galicia. That would be confusing! Joseph Rosenblatt and his wife and children came to the US around 1903 so they would not be listed in the 1929 Galicia Directory. I don't know anything about the other Rosenblatts. It is possible they all also left for America before that 1929 directory was published. In my reading and research on the Rozwadow near Tarnobrzeg I started getting the feeling that I was looking at the wrong town. And maybe so. I'd like to learn more about that "other" Rozwadow and vicinity, though. Is there anything published in English? One thing that would help clarify whether or not the Rosenblatt in Michalowka is the right one or not is... if that particular one had had to flee Galicia suddenly in the middle of the night because of a fight in his tavern. A non-Jewish solder started tearing up the place and attacked his wife. He had to defend himself and his wife by using a crystal wine stopper. Fearing he would not get a fair trial because he was Jewish, he was advised to flee right away. I am sure there must have been a newspaper somewhere in Austria or Poland that mentioned this incident but I don't read German or Polish and am not sure where or what newspaper archive I would find this story. If I knew where that happened it would help shed light on which town he was from. Thanks for all your help. Janice Rosen Washington, DC Searching ROSENBLATT >from in or near Rozwadow.
