Hello Everyone: I am new to this listserve. I am seeking information on my
grandparents families in Chernigov, Ukraine. My grandfather Samuel
ROVICKOVICH/RAVICKOVICH [on the ship's manifest it looks like
Bgrovikowitsh???] was born 14 April 1883 in the City of Chernigov - his
father was Hyman/Chaim (Rovickovich?) and his mother was Fay MILIS/MOLIS. He
married a first cousin Esther AZBELL/ASBELL daughter of Jacob AZBELL/ASBELL
and Bella MILIS/MOLIS in 1904. They had a son Lester born 14 January 1905 in
Chernigov. Samuel ROVICKOVICH (uses ROVICK in U.S.) left Liverpool England
in 1906 on the Ivernia and sailed to Boston, Mass (then on to Chicago, IL in
October, 1906). Esther and Lester came to the U.S. in 1907 (according to the
1920 Census Record) and she gave birth to her second child in 1908 in
Chicago, IL. He applied for Social Security Application in 1942 wherein he
lists his parents names and his date of birth. He lists Chernigov under
"City" and Russia as "Country". Is there enough known information to find
records on this family in Chernigov? I have not been able to locate Esther
and Lester's ship information - I do not know what last name she would have
used!
She is said to be >from a family that were bakers. I would appreciate any
directions or assistance >from the list membership. If I am inappropriate in
this e-mail, please forgive my ignorance. Sincerest thanks. Rose Mary S.

Hello group.

I'm searching for someone but I'm afraid I have very little information to
go on.

I am seeking the family and descendants of Ola (aka Laja) who was the wife
of my grandfather's brother Adolf (Adzio) GLIKSMAN.

Sorry but I don't know Ola / Laja's maiden name. According to the Lodz
Ghetto List she was born 13 June 1886.

She and Adolf lived in Lodz in the 1930s. Ola (Laja) ran a hat shop in
Lodz. Adzio was an engineer. They had no children.

As far as I know they both perished in the Lodz Ghetto.

Ola (Laja) had a nephew (>from her side of the family) who somehow contacted
my grandfather Leon during the war.

I am hoping that the nephew or his family are still alive somewhere and that
they or someone they know will see this email.

The only other information I have that might help identify Ola (Laja) is
that Adzio had 5 siblings, all of whom perished - Mania MIRTENBAUM, Henia
EJDELSZTEJN, Gustawa BROKMAN, Leon GLIKSMAN and Stanislaw GLISKMAN.

With thanks to all

Hello GerSig,
I just joined the group. I have been doing genealogy research for 4
months. I am a novice in doing German Jewish Genealogy. I live in
California. I consider myself advanced in using a computer. My experience
in using the Internet is intermediate.
I have identified the names and birth and death dates of my ancestors.

My primary research goals now are to find out my relationship to the
family TIEKE. Names and towns that I am researching are:TIEKE, and BRANDS.

from Brandenburg, Germany, and maybe Amsterdam? One man has told me that

TIEKE may be Pommeranian? I also found 2 TIEK without E, in Poland who
were murdered in the Holocaust.

I can trace TIEKES >from Iowa to Ohio, to New York, to Germany, to Denmark,
and several in Scotland (late 1600's?). As far as BRANDS they are in
Germany, Preussen, and Switzerland. Some of the BRANDS were lited as
COHEN-BRANDS. The Mormon family history center does not carry these above
mentioned microfiche in thier local center I would have to order them
through Salt Lake and too many to order at $4.00 each.

Can any other place carry these microfiche? Do Jewish places hold these
records? Would Berlin help? Any ideas welcomed. The info I have is on the
following >from ssi death index, and familysearch.com ...

Father--Cristoph Tieke
Mother--Dorothea Eliesabeth Brands
Son--Carl Philip Tieke
Grandson--Christian Friderich Tieke

When I used the Mormons LDS sites I was directed in
the printouts to the following...

Juden und Dissindenten-Register, 1812-1874 Koniglich,
preubich, Statgericht Berlin, Jewish Records.

Die Judenburgerbucher der Stadt, Berlin 1809-1851 mit
Erganzungen fur die Jahre 1791-1809/ Jacob Jacobson.

Judisch Trauungen in Berlin 1759-1813 mit Erganzungen
fur die Jahre von 1723 bis 1759/ Jacob Jacobson. Thanks.

Dear Jerry Zeisler,
i would guess it is "Papierh=E4ndler" (with =E4 / ae) which means someone
who does commerce with paper. That could be (>from a historic
perspective)
* someone who buys paper >from a factory and sells it, eg. to packaging
industry, newspapers, stores, print shops,
* someone who buys used paper and sells it to paper factories

I would rather not say that this is someone who has a store where he
sells retail, because I do not think that someone would only sell paper.

Such a person would have a "Schreibwarengeschaeft" and also selling
pens, enveloppes, .. and would not necessarily be called "Haendler",
which means dealer.

I mention the used paper buyer, as poor people - and very often Jews -
used to be "Altpapierhaendler", going >from house to house, buying used
paper (old newspapers and other) and then sell it to paper factories who
use this to make new paper.

Please view the photo of the stone of Abraham JACOBS, buried next to Joseph
JACOBS, buried next to the mausoleum of the Rabbi of Aitz Chaim Synagogue in
Baltimore. The address is: http://www.jewishgen.org/viewmate/ALL/source/vm1796.html
and click on pix to enlarge as the stone is very dark.

Abraham I. Jacobs, buried in United Hebrew Cemetery, Washington Avenue,
Baltimore, MD, passed away 3/16/24. His first wife was Fannie JACOBS and at
the time of his death he was married to Mollie Jacobs. Mollie's son was
Aaron JACOBS.

Abraham was the father of Joseph JACOBS, Rosa KUSHNICK, Esther SILVERMAN,
Leah OSTROVSKY, and Rebeccah FROHMAN. Louis JACOBS, another son, passed
away May 13, 1919.

I am seeking descendants of the children and/or grandchildren of these
families.

Aaron JACOBS, stepson of Abraham Jacobs, son of Mollie JACOBS.

The Louis JACOBS children names are: Sadie, Celia, Jerome and Florence.

The SILVERMAN grandchildren names are: Silvan, Paul, Sadie, Morris and
Louis.

The OSTROVSKY grandchildren names are: Jennie, Julius, Yetta and Celia.

I do not have the married names of Sadie, Celia, Florence JACOBS, Sadie
SILVERMAN or Jennie, Yetta and Celia OSTROVSKY.

These descendants could be in Baltimore, MD, Richmond, Norfolk or Newport
News, VA, Washington, DC for assumed locations. However, they could be
anywhere.

I would greatly appreciate hearing >from anyone and everyone who can assist
in my finding this family. Please reply privately to rlberliner@aol.com or
rlberliner@comcast.net.

I second and third Dave Fox's remarks.
Over the years, I have noticed that many Mogilev families had branches
in Bobruisk and in Gomel. I generally advise people looking in one of
these places to also look in the other two as well.
In our own case, we know there were at least two Talalay branches (from
the Mogilev city area and surrounding villages) in Bobruisk.
One small group went to America (my ggf's brother and his family to
Newark NJ), and the other (a seemingly much older branch just recently
discovered) married into the Katzenelson family (among others) who moved
to St. Petersburg and Moscow, as well as more recent immigrants to
Melbourne Australia and Brooklyn, NY etc).
Genealogy is all about sharing information, particularly in those
geographical areas where there was considerable movement among a few
closely-situated population centers.
I, for one, look forward to the cooperation and involvement of the
Bobruisk Interest Group in the Belarus SIG.
