In 1935, my great-uncle, JUDA KANTER, who lived in Kolomyya, Galicia,
Poland, wrote to my grandfather, MAX KANTER. I believe that this letter
may have been the last one my grandfather received >from his brother.
I am hoping that the letter might contain
information about Juda's family, all of whom but
one perished in the Holocaust.

The letter has been uploaded in two parts to Viewmate as
VM 1793 and VM1794 and may be found at the following addresses:

http://www.jewishgen.org/viewmate/ALL/source/vm1793.html
http://www.jewishgen.org/viewmate/ALL/source/vm1794.html

I would most appreciate your help in translating this letter,
especially as to any names, places or events it might describe.
Please send responses directly to me.
Thank you very much in advance for any help you can
provide me.

Sally cannot be more correct in her advise. In order to find your family

should have at the very least a town name and a close variation of the surname.
I thought that I had both about 2 years ago. I was sure that it was SZYBILLIAC

from Zambrow, Poland. I do not think that there is such a surname anywhere. I

searched and wrote to people and begged for help....nothing. Then the clue - a
very simple clue. My grandmother told me that the surname sort of meant onion in
Polish. Out came the Polish Dictionary and the word for onion is cebula. The
surname ended up being several variations of CYBULA, not quite the way I thought
it was spelled. It was the onion clue plus other family information and a HUGE
amount of help >from Michael Tobias, Stanley Diamond and JRI-Poland that enabled
me to find my family's roots in Zambrow. Looking back - hindsight is 20/20, I
should have gone through the old photo's with my grandmother and taken very good
notes and really listened well. There is a picture of Harry CIBULA, my great
grandmother's brother. It would have saved me so much time if I had the right
information to begin with. Moral of the story - you can't go home again if you
do not know where home is!

I have eagerly compiled family trees for my family on family tree maker.
Now that I have accumulated photos and anecdotal information, some of my
family is urging me to publish a "Book".

Here's my concern. The birth, date and marriage dates are based on what
relatives have told me. I have not verified dates through vital records. I
am, therefore, hesitant to put this information in book form which might
imply that everything has been documented. If any of you have dealt with
this predicament I would appreciate your thoughts. Should I publish my
family book with a little history, maps and approximate dates with a
disclaimer or explanation?
Thanks for your input.

Hi everyone,

I just subscribed to this list in a hope that I could find some help
in my search for relatives (lost long time ago, since 1937).
I am looking for descendants of my grandmother's aunt who I believe
live in the USA now. Unfortunately, I don't know their family name,
which made my search fruitless so far.
However, I do have some information that comes >from my grandmother.

My grandmother Sura Nekhtman (maiden name Goldberg) was born in Medzhibozh.
Maiden name of her mother Tsivya and mother's sister Ruhl (Rachel?)
was Beigeldrut (Beygeldrut?). It is descendants of Ruhl that I am looking
for. All names and facts I mention here are as accurate as my grandma
remembers them (and she is 90 years old now), and here they are:

Ruhl married Shmil >from Starokonstantinov. They had a boy named Berl.
Unfortunately, my grandma does not remember the last name, and even
first name (Shmil) may not be correct. Shmil, Ruhl and Berl (who was
about 8-10 years old at that time) emigrated >from Starokonstantinov
to the USA around 1920.

They lived in Brooklyn, New York. Shmil had a fur business there.
Berl worked as a medical doctor in New York. Shmil and Ruhl had more
children born in the US: a girl Khaya and twin boys. My grandma says
that last letter >from this family was received in 1937. The letter
was destroyed out of fear to be prosecuted by Soviet authorities.
The letter contained a picture of little girl Khaya and mentioned the
birth of twin boys.

It would be very intereting to find the descendants of this family.
Please let me know if you have any information that could help.
I would appreciate any hints on how I may proceed in searching them.
Thank you very much,

I sent a message as I was looking for the maiden name of my grandmother.
She was married with Moiche (Moszek) Tarkieltaub. He was born in Lissow
or Lisow. Her first name was Gitle.

I have upon a working card belonging
to my father, Abraham Tarkieltaub, born in Lisow in 1903, the following
things:

under the name of her mother, Gitle, it's written Chalupki. And
the line under it's written 1879. I guess she was born in 1879. But is
Chalupki her family name or is it a city in Poland ?

I'll try to find ! If someone knows this city it's not the maiden name
of my grandmother ! And I would like to know how she died, when and
where ! She was living in Kielce.

Thanks a lot, I already wrote last week but I didn't have these informations.

We are posting this message on behalf of Manfred Nerlich . The message was
received in German. This is the translation:

<< I am seeking contact with the surname NERLICH in all of Israel but
particularly Jerusalem. Will you be able to help me?

With friendly greetings Manfred Nerlich >>

If you can help Manfred, please reply to < bloch@mts.net >

Thank You.
