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 Tom

Szentgotthardi district, which today is in Austria and called MOGERSDORF. As mentioned previously, seemingly this is not the place Nadia is looking for. Tom

I now understand the difficulties I have to deal with.

They managed to picture (no xerox machines there) a couple of pages with = birth records >from 1947-1950 and even >from 1924. The archivist told them = that records older than 1895, are kept in the national archives in = Bucharest. (which makes me wonder about records >from this area prior to = the Treaty of Trianon which should be in Budapest ...) Anyway, thanks again everyone.

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. Has anyone found pre-1895 vital records >from areas in presentday Romania in the Hungarian State archives?

Lodz Archives Project -- surname lists updated
#poland
Seflaum@...
Dear Fellow Researchers,
JRI-Poland has placed online surname lists for several towns in the Lodz region. These are surnames that appear in the non-microfilmed, archival Jewish records housed in the Lodz branch of the Polish State Archives. The majority of the surnames appeared in these towns in the latter part of the 19th century, however, earlier years may be included for some towns. Surname lists are now online for: Koniecpol Konstantynow Lodzki Lowicz Ozorkow (data not yet online in the JRI-Poland database) Pajeczno Poddebice Warta Wielun Zdunska Wola Zloczew (data not yet online in the JRI-Poland database) To view the surnames, access: < http://www.jewishgen.org/jri-pl/psa/status.htm > and click "Lodz, phase 1" in the dropdown menu at the top of the page. Then click a town name in the table to access its surname list. The up-to-date city of Lodz surname list, 1899-1901, is also now online. Access the same web page as above, and click "Lodz, phase 2" in the dropdown menu. Then click "Lodz" in the table to access the surname list. The actual data is online in the JRI-Poland database. If you have any questions about the surname lists, please contact the town leader for the appropriate town. I would be happy to answer any questions about the Lodz Archives PSA Project. Regards, Shirley Rotbein Flaum Lodz Archive Coordinator/JRI-Poland Seflaum@aol.com

German Jewish History Awards
#germany
Arthur Obermayer <obermayer@...>
This is a reminder that the deadline for submission of nominations for
German Jewish History Awards is September 20, 2002. These awards will be given to five Germans who have made extraordinary contributions to preserving the Jewish history, culture, cemeteries and synagogues in their local communities. Thousands of Germans have carried out such activities as volunteers because they feel it is the right thing to do - the preservation of Jewish material is one of the few ways in which they can respond constructively to their country's horrible past. We, as Jewish genealogists, are the recipients of their good work. These awards are sponsored by the GerSIG, the German-Jewish Community History Council, and the Berlin Parliament. Many of you previously submitted worthy nominations. Those nominees who have already received Certificates of Commendation are prime candidates for this year's awards, and will only require updating of the submissions. This will be the third year for such awards, which will be given on January 27, 2003, the German Holocaust Memorial Day (the anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz). Each awardee and their spouse will be invited on an all expenses paid trip to Berlin to receive the award at the Plenary Chamber of the Abgeordnetenhaus, the home of the Berlin Parliament. The honorees will receive a framed certificate and an honorarium to be used for the furtherance of their work. Awardees' contributions will be described to attendees and to the local, national and international news media. Last year's awards received extensive news coverage, including The New York Times, the Associated Press, Jewish Telegraphic Agency, and a great many German daily newspapers, as well as specific articles in American Jewish weeklies. If you know someone who may be appropriate for nomination, further information -- including the Call for Nominations and profiles of previous award winners and the jury -- can be obtained at http://home.attbi.com/~obermayer/award You may obtain a hard copy of the Call for Nominations by sending an email to germanaward@hotmail.com or a letter to the German-Jewish Community History Council, 239 Chestnut Street, West Newton, MA 02465 USA or to Hendrik Kuebler, Referat Protokoll, Abgeordnetenhaus von Berlin, D-10111 Berlin-Mitte, Germany. Remember that the deadline for submission of nominations is September 20, 2002 -- only three weeks away! Arthur Obermayer West Newton, MA USA
