Re: Wrong SS-5 form
#general
Lynne Shapiro <lynneshap@...>
I am writing to correct what was stated in a previous posting.
A wife *never* is or was given the same Social Security number as her spouse. However, a wife who receives Social Security benefits based on her husband's work, would be given a claim number that is her husband's number with a "B" at the end. That number would appear on her Medicare card (once Medicare started in the mid-1960s), and sometimes family members who survived her would think it was her Social Security number and put it on her death certificate as such. A woman who never worked and paid into Social Security would probably never have applied for a Social Security number of her own - at least not until about the 1970s. Or the 1960s if she was applying to get Medicare under a special program based on her age. It was not required that a person getting benefits on another person's record have their own number until about the 1970s. A man born in 1873 who died in 1950 probably never had a Social Security number unless he was still working in 1937, in a job covered under Social Security. But keep in mind that by that point he was at least 63 years old, and in those days that was towards the end of the average lifespan. And self-employed people were not covered under Social Security until 1951. If husband and wife applied for Social Security numbers at the same time, they would sometimes get consecutive numbers.

[JG] England birth records
#general
jeremy frankel
Dear Frank,
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
Civil registration in England and Wales began in July 1837. It was usual for the child to be registered under the father's surname. The mother's maiden name would also be listed in the column where it asked for the particulars of the mother. If you live near a Mormon Family History Center, you can order the relevant film >from Salt Lake City. The Mormons have microfilmed the General Register Office's National Indexes to Births, Marriages and Deaths, >from 1837 up to 1983. If you don't know the actual month, as the National Index is compiled at quarterly intervals, you may need to order more than one quarter, because if the birth occurred within six weeks of the end of one quarter, the registration might appear in the next quarter. This situation can also occur with Deaths, but *not* Marriages. All marriages are recorded in the quarter they took place. Good luck, Jeremy Frankel President San Francisco Bay Area Jewish Genealogical Society
Can someone please tell me if an 1890 birth record in London,

Adrian Lentz (Personal) <adrian_l@...>
Hello,
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
This is my first note to the list & I am a total amatuer doing this family research so please excuse the clumsiness of this communication.... My father, Edward Wilhelm (later changed by his mother to William) LENTZ was born in Hamilton in 1936 & lived there (& environs) until he entered boot camp 1952. He lived with what he thought to be his father, Michael Maryan Lukoszaytys (now thought to be one of a number of stepfathers he & his siblings & half siblings had over their lifetimes), a Lithuanian immigrant that must have hailed >from somewhere close to the Polish frontier due to the spelling of the name. (Lukoszaytys (& Lithuanian translations, etc.) seem to be an incredibly rare -- I've spent months trying to find references to the name). My father now believes his birth father was Samuel Lentz, a Russian immigrant who married his mother, Christine Duflot (Dufloth/Duflott) in Alberta in 1921 (date unsure, maybe 1914). My gm was very secretive whenever by father asked about family roots, to the extent of regularly manually altering marriage & birth certificates, changing my father's name without his permission at age 16, & refusing to answer questions (gm died at age 94(92??) in 1990). I don't believe Samuel Lentz ever lived in Hamilton. The only Canadian record I can find on the Internet is a Samuel Lentz who shows up on a Alberta county archive list >from (I think) the 1940s that lists him & a son as residents. I'm having the same frustration about the lack of Canadian immigration sources online as an earlier list member. Wondering whether Sam Lentz may have landed in the US before moving to the US Midwest / Cdn Prairie provinces (gm was born in North Dakota & I speculate a member of a South Dakota colony of Dufloths), I checked EIDB for Samuel Lentz (& variants) where the ages might match up. The only reasonable match is a Samuel Lentzky (age 9 in 1903) who landed Sep 1, 1903 on the Kronprinz Wilhelm out of Bremen with his father Abraham Lentzky. Unfortunately, the ship's manifest for that sailing of the Kronprinz is not available online so I have no other info. The Lentzky family is listed as Russian Jews residing in Warsaw. I went looking for Lentzky's on PRI-Poland but can find absolutely no record of Lentzky (or any variant I can decipher) among any of the records >from the late 19th C. on PRI-P. In EIDB I found some variants on Lentz, given name Samuel, but their countries of origin & ages don't match with the info on my gm's marriage certificate I would certainly like to hear >from anyone researching Russian Lentz's (or variants) who, >from the info above, might link with my father's family. I am particularly interested in trying to identify where in Russia my gf Sam Lentz may have originated (Country but not town of origin is on marriage certificate). Any clues greatly appreciated.

Searching Moritz Zomepfeld (Zomerfeld?)
#general
Leslie Weinberg <lbw@...>
I received a page of testimony >from Yad Vashem for an Awraham
Ajzan while doing a search for Eisen. The connection between the towns of Tyzcyn in Poland and Nagyvarad in Hungary ( now Romania) seem too much of a coincidence to not be related to my grandfather's family and both are mentioned.Since I have noted that the name Eisen appears on the list of surnames to be indexed in Tyczyn, is Ajzan a different name, or would it be the Polish spelling of Eisen? We know my grandfather lived in Tyczyn but had a brother in Nagyvarad. The page was filled out by a nephew ( son of Awraham's sister) and his name is Moritz Zomepfeld ( or as close to that name as the person who looked it up for me could get). It listed Awraham's father's name as Khaim (Chaim was my great-grandfather's name). The page was submitted in 1956. Does anyone know how I might institute a search for this man, assuming he is still alive? Leslie

Bialykaminer Aid Society
#general
larry denzer <larrydenzer@...>
On January 1907 my father, David Danzer (Denzer) landed on
these shores with his fiancee and settled in the lower east side of Manhattan, New York which was referred to as "Little Galitzia" because of the confluence of Galician Jewish emigres. I lived on Cannon St. until I was 10 years old when we moved to Brooklyn. Shortly after, all the tenement buildings were razed to make room for The Lillian Wald Housing Development and all the immigrant residents were forced to vacate for parts unknown. At the turn of the century and after Galicians settling there got together and formled farbands for faternalism and a means of maintaining their culture, religion and family values emanating >from their individual shtetls. Ostensibly, their raison d'etre was to raise funds for their less fortunate families and relations they had left behind in the shtetls. As far as I can remember, my father was the ongoing secretary/treasurer for his organization, "The Bialykaminer Aid Society". (We also belonged to "The Parnes Family Assoc." as my mothers mlaiden name was Parnes.) The society was named tfor the little town, Bialykamen in Galicia, Poland where he came from. Formerly owned by Austria it had the German name and spelling but now it is called Belyy Kamen in Ukraine which is somewhat near Lviv, Ukraine also formerly called Lemberg, Poland. My father was the society's last official president and for all the continuing years that he was able he continued to make funeral arrangements for all his past friends and families. For those interested the society bought two burial plots in Queens, N. Y. for it's members and families. One is The Mt. Zion Cemetery where my uncle is buried right next to the gravesite of Hertzel Ingber, the author of Hatikva, whose remains were moved to israel. The tall tombstone still stands. After World War I when Mt. Zion became overcrowded Montifiore Cemetery was used. The Lubavitcher Rebbe is also buried there. It is well kept and as I walk through it each year, visiting my family, old familiar names pop out at me from the stones.Thank You, larrydenzer@mybluelight.com

Re: 1930 Census - married but not at "home"
#general
Joan Parker <housemom@...>
Dear Genners,
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
Yes, I had a similar situation where the information was way off in the 1930 Brooklyn census for my Mom and Dad. (sigh) I was so excited to have an address for my NY 1930 parent's home. I particularly wanted it to show my sister who was 4 years old at the time as I thought she'd get a kick out of that. I knew I wouldn't be listed as I was in utero, but it is the same address on my birth certificate so I know the address is correct. So, when I got to the page, here is how it was listed by Mildred Jones #1659 page 9-A ED74-1923 and Supervisor's District #32. Ernest Pinkus Head age 27 Selma Pinkus Wife age 27 but *no* sister Lucille Pinkus age 4 instead it showed: Ernest Pinkus age 10 son Selma Pinkus age 8 daughter. Anita Baylor, a servant and interestingly there were several areas whited out. Those areas pertained to citizenship, language, etc. and one good thing another Pinkus name. Good in the fact that it gives me another name I didn't have. It's possible that the two children might have been related to the other Pinkus, but my Uncle Irv had two daughters not a son and daughter. Plus the Pinkus listed is a Julius Pinkus. I have a younger cousin name Jules, who may have been named after the "mysterious" Julius. So far no info about Julius, but I will continue my search and see what I can find.
