Shalom,

To say that great progress was made in the Yizkor Book Project over 2017,
is probably an understatement. To begin with, we are pleased to inform
you that we added in the final pages of two of our projects. The
completion of our Yizkor Book projects is always exciting and it is
heartwarming to see the result of the combined efforts of many good
people, bearing fruit. We now have 141 complete projects online and I
foresee that coming months will see further additions to this steadily
growing number. The projects finished this past month were:

- Kosava, Belarus (Memorial Book of Kosow Poleski), the translation of
which was generously presented to us by Bob Fitterman.
- Pan Kapitan of Jordanow - yet another book compiled and donated to us
by Bill Leibner. I have definitely lost count of the number of books he
has presented and translations he's prepared and we are most thankful for
all his work.

Following my previous monthly report, I was approached by a number of
people interested in supporting some further translations >from entries in
the Yad Vashem Pinkasim (Encyclopedias of the Jewish communities), some of
which will be seen listed below. If you also are interested in a
particular community that is listed in one of these encyclopedias, I will
gladly assist you in seeing the relevant entry translated.

Another significant new addition in November was of the book "We want to
live", tracing the arduous journey of Jewish martyrs across Lithuania,
Latvia, Byelorussia, Poland & Germany. It was kindly presented to us by
author's son, Joshua H. Rassen, and for which we are most grateful.

Further activities this past month, included the setting up of two
Translations Funds for the following books:

- Brzesko, Poland Yizkor book - "Memorial book of Briegel-Brzesko and
vicinity"
- Kaunas (Kovno), Lithuania - " A Palace That Sank...", the Schwabe
Gymnasion Kovno Lithuania Yizkor Book

If you are interested in one of these communities and are able to support
the lofty endeavor of having its Yizkor book translated into English,
you'll find a link to our Translation Fund page listed at the end of this
report. Other than these, there are also around 85 Translation Funds
eagerly waiting your financial support.

Channuka Sameach/Happy Channuka,

Yizkor Book Project Manager

Shalom,

To say that great progress was made in the Yizkor Book Project over 2017,
is probably an understatement. To begin with, we are pleased to inform
you that we added in the final pages of two of our projects. The
completion of our Yizkor Book projects is always exciting and it is
heartwarming to see the result of the combined efforts of many good
people, bearing fruit. We now have 141 complete projects online and I
foresee that coming months will see further additions to this steadily
growing number. The projects finished this past month were:

- Kosava, Belarus (Memorial Book of Kosow Poleski), the translation of
which was generously presented to us by Bob Fitterman.
- Pan Kapitan of Jordanow - yet another book compiled and donated to us
by Bill Leibner. I have definitely lost count of the number of books he
has presented and translations he's prepared and we are most thankful for
all his work.

Following my previous monthly report, I was approached by a number of
people interested in supporting some further translations >from entries in
the Yad Vashem Pinkasim (Encyclopedias of the Jewish communities), some of
which will be seen listed below. If you also are interested in a
particular community that is listed in one of these encyclopedias, I will
gladly assist you in seeing the relevant entry translated.

Another significant new addition in November was of the book "We want to
live", tracing the arduous journey of Jewish martyrs across Lithuania,
Latvia, Byelorussia, Poland & Germany. It was kindly presented to us by
author's son, Joshua H. Rassen, and for which we are most grateful.

Further activities this past month, included the setting up of two
Translations Funds for the following books:

- Brzesko, Poland Yizkor book - "Memorial book of Briegel-Brzesko and
vicinity"
- Kaunas (Kovno), Lithuania - " A Palace That Sank...", the Schwabe
Gymnasion Kovno Lithuania Yizkor Book

If you are interested in one of these communities and are able to support
the lofty endeavor of having its Yizkor book translated into English,
you'll find a link to our Translation Fund page listed at the end of this
report. Other than these, there are also around 85 Translation Funds
eagerly waiting your financial support.

The final piece of news on progress comes >from our Yizkor Books in Print
Project, which published no less than three books over the past month:

- Dokshytsy, Belarus - "Dokshitz-Parafianov Memorial (Yizkor) Book"
- Bender, Moldova - "Yizkor Book of Our Birth Place: Bendery"
- Jonava, Lithuania - "Jonava On the Banks of the Vylia"

The YBIP project has published 64 books in the 5 years since its inception
and our hats go off to Joel Alpert and his truly dedicated team for this
remarkable achievement. Joel also has informed us that November was a
record sales month for this project, indicating to me the growing interest
and importance of these books. Details of what is available and where they
may be purchased appears at the end of this report.

The Federation of Genealogical Societies has fundraised for five years to
support the digitization of the pension records of the War of 1812. They
raised more than $3 million and digitized 7.2 million pages. Ancestry.com
provided a dollar for dollar matching grant. The fundraising and Ancestry
matching grant have made the pages free for everyone. The digitized images
are being posted incrementally and added to over the coming months,
currently the records cover through last names to the letter "Q".

The (US) National Archives is the repository of the original documents which
are fragile >from multi-years of handling. According to the National
Archives states these are among the heaviest requested materials.

The records include the veteran's name, age, place of residence, widow's
name, date of marriage, military service, date of veteran's death and more.
According to Fold3.com the War of 1812 pension applications consist of
approximately 180,000 pension and bounty land warrant applications relating
to claims based on service between 1812 and 1815. The files contain
documentation in support of the claim such as affidavits, the original
application and witness statements. To read more about the FGS campaign
see: http://www.preservethepensions.org/

To access the files on Fold.com, which is part of the Ancestry.com family of
companies, go to: https://go.fold3.com/1812pensions/
.
While Fold3.com is a subscription site, the War of 1812 Pension application
files are totally free. An example, is the application of Jacob Cohen whose
alias is John Cohen and whose widow is Sarah Cohen. The application was
filed in 1878. Note they could not find a Jacob Cohen but did find John
Cohen in the service records. The file contains 53 pages.

Browsing is available without registration, However, you will have to
register for a free account to download or print any of the documents.
Registration requires providing an email address and password. On the upper
right side there is an icon depicting tools. Click on the "tools" to print,
download, share the record and more.

Note: There are additional War of 1812 records on Fold3.com which are
accessible through the aforementioned url:

I have no affiliation with Fold3, or Ancestry.com and am posting this

approximately 180,000 pension and bounty land warrant applications relating
to claims based on service between 1812 and 1815. The files contain
documentation in support of the claim such as affidavits, the original
application and witness statements. To read more about the FGS campaign
see: http://www.preservethepensions.org/

To access the files on Fold.com, which is part of the Ancestry.com family of
companies, go to: https://go.fold3.com/1812pensions/
.
While Fold3.com is a subscription site, the War of 1812 Pension application
files are totally free. An example, is the application of Jacob Cohen whose
alias is John Cohen and whose widow is Sarah Cohen. The application was
filed in 1878. Note they could not find a Jacob Cohen but did find John
Cohen in the service records. The file contains 53 pages.

Dear friends of JRI-Poland:

As we near the end of 2017, once again we encourage you to consider
JRI-Poland in your year-end giving plans, to help us to continue to expand
our database with additional entries and information for your town(s).

This year, more than ever, we have an opportunity to make a huge
difference for researchers. There are now scans available for hundreds
of thousands of records for which funds are needed to undertake the
Phase 3 full extractions. If you have missed the description of the
Phase 3 initiative, read more in this Avotaynu article
_www.jri-poland.org/downloads/Avotaynu_Fall-2016_JRI-Poland-update.pdf_
(http://www.jri-poland.org/downloads/Avotaynu_Fall-2016_JRI-Poland-update.pdf)

As JRI-Poland researchers and supporters know, JRI-Poland fundraising has
traditionally been "shtetl-specific" -- that is, you, the users of our
website and database, support the records indexing and records extraction
work for the town(s) in which your families lived.

Many researchers also mark their contributions "use the funds wherever
they are needed most," and we sincerely appreciate their recognition of how
their support gives us flexibility - sometimes to fund work on towns for
which there are very few known researchers.

There are exciting plans underway to make JRI-Poland searches even more
productive, and "General Fund" donations can also help make this initiative
a reality.

JRI-Poland is proud to point out that in our past 22-years of activity,
approximately 93% of all funds we have raised have been spent specifically
for the creation of data. This proportion of fund utilization for our
mission is remarkable -- and extremely rare -- in non-profit organizations.

To all of you who have generously supported our activity in the past, we
thank you again. To researchers who have not yet made a donation to
JRI-Poland, we ask you to consider 2017 as the year you support the
organization that has meant so much to you and your family. The JRI-Poland
donations page _www.jri-poland.org/support.html provides a facility to
make recurring donations. Small donations, each month, can make a
difference.

Note: Jewish Records Indexing - Poland is an independent non-profit
organization with its own administration, volunteers and fundraising.
Because JRI-Poland's database, discussion group and website are hosted by
JewishGen, as a courtesy to researchers, JRI-Poland enables its data search
results to be displayed on JewishGen's All Poland Database.

Wishing each and every one a healthy and joyous Hanukkah
