Dear Donald:
Check out the web site located at:
<http://www.hagalil.com/deutschland/berlin/gemeinde/roots.htm>;
Jewish Roots in Berlin

It contains the names of libraries and archives where you might find
family records and documents, as well as hours of operation and
directions to get there.

In October my wife and I are going to spend three weeks in Germany doing
primarily genealogy. We would appreciate any help and/or suggestions
anyone might care to give us including where to look, whom to contact,
possible translators etc. in the following:

A bride's status on a ketubah #rabbinic

MBernet@...
 

I want to prepare a simple guide that will help people with very
limited knowledge of Hebrew, to obtain the necessary facts >from a
ketubah: date, names of parties, location, and status of the
parties.

Are the following the correct terms for a bride's status

maiden: betulta (bet-tav-vav-lamed-tav-aleph)
widow: almanata (alef-lamed-mem-nun-tav-aleph)
divorcee: metarchata (mem-tav-resh-chav-tav-alef)?

Is the groom always simply known as chatan (chet-tav-nun),
irrespective of his pre-marital status?

Please let me know the correct spellings, and any terms I may have
left out.

To what extent is the rule of 100 + 100 zuzin bride price for a
maiden, 50 + 50 for a widow or divorcee, universal across
communities?

Many thanks for all informed information.

When searching biblical names (Old and New Testament) try this site:
http://bible.crosswalk.com/
A search will return several references for the same name as found in
various sources. Caveat: the search engine will only produce results
with EXACT spellings. Thus Myriam would result in zero finds while
Miriam would return five. Also one can't use the Hebrew and Latin
variants, like Yitzhak for Isaac or Petrus for St. Peter.
Enjoy

MAGERSDORF was the German name of NAGYFALVA, a village in Vas county,
Szentgotthardi district, which today is in Austria and called
MOGERSDORF. As mentioned previously, seemingly this is not the place
Nadia is looking for.

As explained in earlier messages, the area in question was covered by several Hungarian national censuses conducted prior to the Treaty of Trianon, which ceded this area to Romania. Vital records, which were collected by the local rabbi prior to 1895, are a different matter. Copies of these records were supposed to be turned over to the county or regional archives and may be available to those who visit Romania or hire researchers with access to these sources archives.
