Gmar Chatima Tova, $ Happy new year - Moshe Karmin, Israel.

I enquired about Cecil KRAVITZ a few weeks back, searching for details of
a shul he might have belonged to, along with his parents Solomon and
Esther. My thanks to those who responded but I still have not had any
success. I have now obtained a copy of his birth certificate and perhaps
the details might yield more success in locating their shul?

Cecil was born on April 14th 1916 and the address is shown as 166 Cornwall
Road, London SE. Cornwall Road is a few yards >from Waterloo Station, south
of the Thames, although his birth was registered at Kensington Central,
north of the Thames. Both parents were tailors and had previousl lived in
Harrogate, Yorkshire. Her maiden name was SIRAGHER. After this date there
is no trace of any of them in births, marriages, death, deed poll name
changes or Ellis Island records.

I also understand that there was a tailors called Kravitz in Bond Street
in the west end of London until about 1950. Does anybody out there have
any ideas?


May you all fast well and enjoy a happy, healthy and prosperous new year.
I will be in Israel for Succot.

Dear Genners,
I have found records for relatives who sailed >from Hamburg to NY on the
EIDB. There was a mother listed, Ettel Rosenmann, and five children, who
might have included nieces and nephews.
The ship was the Weser and arrived in 1894.
When I go to the Hamburg immigration lists, only the name of the mother is
listed. Any ideas of why the children were left out? I have not yet
ordered the records >from Hamburg. Was the entire family listed with the
name of the person in charge?
Thanks for your help.

Part of this update was included in a New Year's message to the
Yizkor Book Project Digest. As so many readers of JewishGen's mail
lists enjoy hearing of the new material on the Yizkor Book site, we
are posting this update even though it is later in the month than we
traditionally send these updates.

August 2002 update for Yizkor Book Project

As many of you have undoubtedly heard, the Yizkor Book Project was
honored in Toronto to receive an award by IAJGS, the International
Association of Jewish Genealogical Societies. The press release
stated:

"The IAJGS Outstanding Contribution Award, which is to be presented
to a person, persons or organization in recognition of a contribution
via the Internet, print, or electronic product. This year's award was
made to
JewishGen for its Yizkor Book Project. Susan King, President of
JewishGen, and Joyce Field, Yizkor Book Project Manager, accepted the
award on behalf of JewishGen."

This award was made possible by all of you who have submitted
translations, who have worked hard as project coordinators to
encourage others to submit translations and to raise money for
professional translators, and by all of you who shared the dream
five years ago of what this project could offer to Jewish
genealogists. Also, without the volunteers who manage the Yizkor
Book Library file, the Yizkor Book Database, the Yizkor Book list of
translators, the Yizkor Book Digest, and the Necrology Index, this
Project could not operate as smoothly and efficiently as it does.
And without the daily work of our Permissions Coordinator, who
communicates so well with the Israeli landsmanschaftn, and the QA
Coordinator (the same person!), and our excellent team of htmlers,
we would never be able to get material online as rapidly as we do.
Our heartfelt thanks to all of you!

August 2002 production, despite our concentration on the Toronto
meeting, was excellent. We added four new books and 16 updates.

We have two young men - probably first cousins - born in East Galicia and
living in New York in the early 1900's, both named Peretz and both called
Barney. In one case, Barney was his adopted name and in the other his
adopted name was Philip, but he was nicknamed Barney. They did not have
the same surname. It is not clear if they moved in the same circles.

I know perfectly well that there is not necessarily a connection between
original names and adopted names, but this duplicate pairing is so unusual
I can't help considering what may have been behind it.

Aside >from the similarity between the letter "y" and the final tasdi, does
anyone have a suggestion?

Dear Geners:

I want to thank all of you who graciously replied to my query about help in
Yiddish translation of my postcards, and the Yiddish word for Austria.
When my great-grandfather wrote "Brody Bangasse" as a return address, I
thought Bangasse meant Austria. As I learned >from fellow Genners,
Bangasse does *not* mean Austria. This, then, is the word that I am not
sure of its meaning. I searched in Google, 'Bangasse', and it is a place
in Africa. Can anyone out there guess what my ggrandfather meant, when he
wrote this? I know he lived in Brody, Austria (now Ukraine), and I'm just
baffled about this word. Any help will be greatly appreciated!

Thank you,

In 1924m\, my grandparents came >from Russia through Turkey with my
grandmother's brother. He traveled steerage and they went 2nd Class.
However, they were also listed, then crossed out, on the Steerage manifest.
Their given and surnames were spelled differently between the two
mainfests. Why, I have no idea. Different clerks for different classes?
