Re: Info on U S Cities

Joseph Fibel <JFibel@...>
Dear JGDG'
In the 3/5/05 postings, jan meisals allen asked about resources for Canton, Ohio. The International Assn of Jewish Genealogical Societies (IAJGS) web site houses a listing of North American Community Books prepared by Hal Bookbinder and Joan Rimmon for the 20th International Conference on Jewish Genealogy in Salt Lake City., in 2000. This listing was in the Conference Syllabus but was subsequently entered into the IAJGS site: www.iajgs.org . Hal Bookbinder has been continually updating this site. There are over 800 such books and they contain a great deal of Jewish American history. They are arranged by state and then by city. Go the homepage and click on the blue square on the left side of the page reading North American Community Books and proceed as below. Find your city and the book describing it and try to find it in your local library. If it is not available there, every state has a state library and probably many college and university libraries. Books can usually be obtained by your local librarythrough interlibrary loan. Joe Fibel New Rochelle, NY

Barry E Chernick
I would like to hear >from anyone who might have knowledge of this
family or any of their descendents. I have found Isaac Berchansky in the 1900, 1910 and 1920 Census records and a City Directory listing for 1931. Isaac Berchansky was a furrier in Manhattan. Two sons, Samuel and Walter changed their to Berch. >from the 1910 Census here is the family living at 42 Ft. Washington Ave, Bronx. Isaac Berchansky age 46, wife Sarah age 42, Samuel age 13, Esther 11, Sadie 9, Wally [Walter] 6. Living with them were in-laws Esther, age 21 and Leah, age 50, Glucksberg. In the 1930 census, assuming I found the right people, Samuel and Walter were both married and using the name Berch. Sam Berch is married to Beulah, Walter Berch is married to Jeanette with an infant Adele. Both are in the fur business, one wholesaler, the other a manufacture. Any help locating descendents of this family would be appreciated. I do have an entry in the JGFF. Barry Chernick Bellevue, WA

jeremy frankel
Dear Genners,
The following URL <http://www.nndb.com/>; is useful for obtaining the basic information on famous and the not so famous. As well as a potted biography, it offers the person's date and place of birth, marriage, divorce and death; and their parents' and siblings's names. It is free and does not require any registration or submission of any personal details. It's also fun to use and see what has been written about people. Enjoy! -- Jeremy G Frankel ex Edgware, London, England Berkeley, California, USA EBIN: Russia -> New York, USA FRANKEL: Poland -> London, England GOLD (RATH): Praszka, Poland -> London, England KOENIGSBERG: Vilkaviskis, Lithuania -> London, England -> NYC, NY, USA LEVY (later LEADER): Kalisz, Poland -> London, England PRINCZ/PRINCE: Krakow, Poland -> London, England -> NYC, NY, USA

Looking for info on Hartog JACOB - Holland (late 18th cent)
#general
Jonathan Borchard <JonBorchard@...>
I was wondering if there is anyone out there who may have come across the
name of Hartog JACOB in Holland? He was the brother of my GGGG Grandfather Calman MEDEX. There is a lot of documentry information about the family in Eysden, nr Maastricht in the late 1700's to about 1815. Today I came across the name Hartog JACOB on Genlias, the wonderful Dutch website where the various archives are trying to put out details of all their holdings back to the 1700's (http://www.genlias.nl) . I can't be sure this is the right man - it is an entry concerning the death of his wife Hester SCHAAP who died aged 69 on August 09th, 1812. her parents were Levy Moses SCHAAP and Dina IZAKS. She died in Amersfoort. Using the age of Hester, the it is possible that Hartog is the right sort of age to be the brother of Calman. I was wondering if anyone has ever come across these names and if so, what can they tell me about Hartog JACOB? Its a stupid question I know, but would the name Hartog Jacob be an uncommon one or not at that time?!!!! Many thanks Jonathan Borchard - London

world phonebooks and Mozilla
#general
ac <anitac47@...>
As I had posted, I was having trouble with the online world phonebooks
under Infobel. They had worked before but for some reason they weren't working yesterday (for me at least). Then I thought...I was using the Mozilla browser. I switched a few minutes ago to Internet Explorer and Infobel worked! I also had encountered problems on the Ellis Island site on the JewishGen page. Again, the problem was with Mozilla (Firefox) and everything worked OK with IE. So for those of you who might be experiencing problems with webpages and are using Mozilla, you might want to go back to IE and see if that works. By the way, I put NADWORNY into Infobel and it said no listings. I put NADWORNY into pagesjaunes and it gave me 4 listings. I went back to Infobel and put in NADVORNY and up came the same listings I got with pagesjaunes. Apparently pagesjaunes has fuzzier searches. So I would think if you are trying to find someone in these phonebooks, try phoneticizing the spellings and see what happens and try more than one site. Regards Anita Citron Searching: NADWORNY everywhere, anywhere

I'm also looking for anyone who might have be related to people with the surname KATZ >from Kadanov (outside Munchas) in what was Czechoslovakia between World War I and World War II but is now in the Ukraine (and belonged to Hungary during WWII). I'm also interested in learning about Munchas (now Munkachevo in the Ukraine). My parents were married by the Munchache(?) Rabbi in 1935 and lived there until the war. Their surname was Weiss.
