My paternal GF and at least 2 previous generations of his family lived in
Dnepropetrovsk. I have hit a "brick wall" regarding BMD records and even
surnames for female ancestors but, according to Miriam Weiner's Routes to
Roots website, the Dnepropetrovsk Archives have these records. However,
the website only directs one to the Kiev Archives, and a search on
multiple web browsers didn't give me any hits for an English site for the
Dnepropetrovsk Archives. Does anyone know how to contact the
Dnepropetrovsk Archives?

Thanks, in advance, for any help offered.

A recently posted brief note of mine regarding these two great
rabbis has resulted in a deluge of private enquiries >from people
researching their descent >from the former. As I pointed out then,
the Megaleh Amukos had many children. I think it may have been
eight. This being so, researching beyond the second generation is
difficult.

I do not have the capacities of sufficient strength and time to
undertake private research. Nor do I possess all the private library
resources I covet. The information posted previously came mainly

from the following Hebrew works. (There is a lot more printed

material available for serious researchers)

1) Marganisa Shapiro by Chaim DovBerish Shapira Drobytch (spelling?)
16 pp 1899.

2) Klilas Yofey by Dembitzer - a classic source with a separately
published USA index.

3) Mishpochot Atikot BeYisroel by Yaakov Leib Shapiro - Tel Aviv
1982. This last work, although attractively presented, is extremely
prone to error and should mainly be regarding as a pointer to
further research.

Dear ravsigers,

I was wondering if any of you has come across or heard of a book "Kol
Yaakov," written by R' Yaakov b'Binjamin POPERS (HaKohen). He was born
in Prague and was later Chief Rabbi of Frankfurt am Main where he died
in 1740.

Thanks for any help

Hi! I´m new at this discussion list. I´m >from Argentina
and I started to look for my family a couple of years ago.
I now leaned that all my mother´s ancestors came

from Bessarabia (now Moldova). They were Simon

Zaliz (with his wife: Sara Zweibel and his children)
and Miguel Goldenberg and Eva Rosman (and two child).
They came to Argentina around 1906. I hope anyone
can help me to learn more about my roots.
Thanks

In searching for Holocaust survivors (or victims),
I often find that it is necessary to search far

from a person's original home town. For others who

might be searching, please note this regarding
Czestochowa, Poland:

Nearly 5000 persons are listed in the Index of
Prisoners in the Hasag Pelcery Labor Camp in
Czestochowa (Kartoteka wieznio obozu pracy Hasag
Pelcery w Czestochowie). Each person is listed along
with his/her place of birth (Miejsce urodzenia),
residence in 1939 (Miejsce zam. w 1939 r), and
place sent >from (Skad przybyl do obozu; may have
been >from one of the other Hasag slave-labor camps).
I am surprised to find that over 300 different
towns are listed, many very far >from Czestochowa:

Dear Genners,

I want to let you know about a new booklet that
may be useful to some of you: "'Aliyyatah ushki'atah

This booklet is in Hebrew, but there is an English
version too. Its author is Dr. Haim Gordon and he
himself published the booklet. It contains about
52 pages including:
1) A preface
2) The history of the Jewish community in Zilina

from its beginning till today

3) A list of "Righteous Among the Nations" >from
Zilina who saved Jews
4) Bibliography
5) A list of 2668 Holocaust victims of Zilina
(these names are written in Latin letters)
6) A list of 45 Jewish fighters of Zilina killed
as partisans and soldiers on all fronts in
the Second World War (written in Latin letters
as well). The booklet contains some photographs.
