I have learned that some of my relatives were buried in Yalta. I would love
to hear >from someone who has studied about the Jewish community in Yalta
(what made it a favorable place for Jews) and also >from anyone familiar with
Jewish cemetaries in Yalta.

Thanks to everyone that contacted me re: Oystragh lookup. I got a telephone
number and will try and contact the family in Australia.

I have the translation of my Step GrandMother's story. Tamara has volunteered
to do more translations. Here are the names of other people who's stories
are published in this pamphlet. If you recognize any of them perhaps priority

I would appreciate a name or group to contact in my searches to find a
family name in the shtetl of SOKOLKA ul GRODZIENSKA. Thank you very much.

Jerry K. (aaronkal@frontiernet.net)

Numerous attempts to reach researcher Nancy Goodman of Columbia, Maryland,
have been fruitless. Nancy, if you're out there, please contact me
regarding the Sokolow Malopolski, Poland Indexing Project.

If anyone out there knows how to contact Nancy, other than by using her
email address of NANCY@TOAD.NET kindly be in touch with me privately.

From: Daniel Kazez <dkazez@wittenberg.edu> >>

This is a schedule of payments to maintain the synagogue. It is a list of
members, their occupation, and how much they contributed to the upkeep of
the synagogue and Jewish community. These rosters exist for many communities
and can be found in the Main Archive of Old Acts (AGAD) in Warsaw as well as
in regional archives. They are in a collection called the CWW collection.

I am trying to figure out what this mysterious document might be:

http://www4.wittenberg.edu/academics/music/kazez/Rad-Coh.jpg

It was provided to me by a fellow Radomsko researcher. We are guessing

that

it is some sort of Radomsko 1820s synagogue register. Please let me know

if

you have some idea.

Dan Kazez

The title reads "Rozklad Na Parafian Wyznania Mojzeszowego na utrzymanie
Buznicy w Miescie Radomsku na lata 1829/31 ulozony" which means
"Distribution of support for maintenance of the synagogue in the City of
Radomsko by parishioners of the Jewish Faith for the years 1829/1831."
I cannot read the first column The subsequent columns indicate names,
professions and amounts.

roots.

I compared the town list at w3.jewishgen.org/InfoFiles/BialystokRRG.htm with
the Voivodship list at w3.zchor.org/bilaystok/bialystok.htm and the difference
is notable. What criteria are used for inclusion/exclusion?

My personal list of towns around Bialystok, where I am researching, is much
longer than either and I would like to see an all-inclusive list somewhere.
Has anyone done this? My publication efforts are leading to a bi- or
multi-lingual town list which researchers can consult for accurate spelling.
Why reinvent the wheel every time one needs to write down a town name? Even
the PolishGen website has only a limited town list, but somewhat better than
JewishGen's list for some reason. Not all towns or shtetls, of course, had Jewish
residents and may be ignored for our purposes.

My town of Zawady, for example, only had 19 Jewish families and is not
listed in JewishGen.

Dear Members,
Several people have written to me with suggestions of town & district names
that might be linked to our Ukraine SIG website. It reminded me that some of
you may be creating webpages for your focus of interest. If this is the
case, could you kindly notify me so that that we can provide a link to our
site (as well as the Shtetlinks site).

We await your submissions! :-)
