Re: Hebrew equivalent of Jewish names

toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
equivalent for names; what I was looking for is some tools for grouping of Jewish names, like the Soundex for surnames. I use this to try and unite various records of my WYGODNY family; just sorting by first name as-is will not work, since it will put a Polish birth record for Hinda far away >from an Ellis Island record of Ginda - although they may be the same person. Therefore, I created a translation system to transfer the name to a "standard" writing - not necessarily Hebrew. However, for me it is difficult to know that "Ginda" is in the same group as "Hinda", and not in the group of "Genia" (which for me sounds equally similar). Similarly, I cannot know that Pesche and Pesla are similar, and that they have any connection to Bat-Sheva (or Batya). The given name database at http://www.jewishgen.org/databases/GivenNames/ also does not show that. So, for me these hints were quite useful. - Shlomo

Poland--Cemeteries (near Radomsko and Czestochowa)

The hard work of Jeff Cymbler will now benefit anyone with family who
lived in the Radomsko-Czestochowa area: Jeff has transcribed/transliterated/interpreted over one thousand tombstones--mostly for the cemetery in Zarki, but also for the few stones that remain in Plawno/Gidle, Mstow, and Janow. Leah Jordan Bisel did all of the typing. Udi Cain helped me to understand the Hebrew dates, and David Simon Bendory converted all of our dates >from Hebrew to non-Hebrew format. My thanks to all three of them! Madeleine Okladek will now begin proofing. My thanks also go to two "assistants" (by the names of Nowak and Broszkiewicz) both of whom, as residents of Radomsko, came to the Zarki cemetery and spent over 10 hours with me taking photographs of the tombstones. Somehow, I like to announce a project a little before completion. Here, in case it is of value to you, is a list of those tombstones with enough information to make a family connection: http://www.kazez.com/~dan/Czesto-Rad/Cemeteries.html Notes: o We are now beginning the job of proofing. o The web site above is rather large, and maybe not convenient on the web. o To keep the site above simple, I have not included Hebrew dates.

Mlawa Shtetl Co-op and fundraising for JewishGen
#poland
Harriet Brown <hnbrown@...>
Dear Chevre,
I'm writing to urge each and every one of you to make a contribution to JewishGen today. Not only is it the right thing to do, to support the service that hosts JRI-Poland and scores of other important projects, but it's the practical thing to do. I'm the coordinator for the Mlawa Shtetl Research Group. My team has been working very hard for the last year to finish indexing one of the three LDS films of Mlawa and get it on-line into JRI-Poland's database. Well, I finished proofing the last spreadsheet about a month ago and sent it off. Nothing happened. I inquired about why, and was told that because of JewishGen's extremely urgent financial needs, no new data would be posted until those needs had been met. I think this is more or less fair (though I for one was unaware of this policy--maybe I missed something in an announcement?). We all need to come together and support JewishGen, which in turn supports all of our wonderful projects. If everyone who reads this list gave $5, I bet JewishGen would be a lot closer to reaching its financial goals. And for all you out there with an interest in Mlawa, take heart. Information is coming soon. Best, Harriet Brown Mlawa Shtetl Co-op Coordinator Yizkor Book Project moderator
