I have a group of 20 records in total composed of births, deaths,
and a marriage or two. The copies are very legible if some
generous person would like to translate.

It would be easiest to work directly with someone via email
rather than via viewmate, in case you were wondering.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Kind regards

Please reply to my email. Thank you.

I am in charge of bringing an exhibit to Maui, Hawaii, (where I live),
entitled The German Roots of Zionism. It will be on display for 3 months at
our local Nisei Veterans Memorial Center, probably starting August 2018. We
are trying to tie the exhibit in with a Hawaiian-Japanese theme as well. The
522nd Field Artillery Battalion was activated February 1, 1943, at Camp
Shelby, Mississippi, as part of the 442nd Regimental Combat Team. The unit
was comprised of both mainland and Hawaii Japanese Americans. It is best
known for liberating some of the Dachau sub-camps.

I would therefore like to make contact with anyone who has personal
information (documents, photos, testimonials, etc.) about Jews liberated

from Dachau sub-camps by the 522nd Field Artillery Battalion. We would like

to display such personal items in a display case for the duration of the
exhibit.

Please contact me privately at elamj@hawaii.rr.com. Thank you.

The Jewish Genealogical Society of the Conejo Valley and Ventura County
(JGSCV) will meet Sunday, September 10 >from 1:30-3:30 pm at Temple Adat
Elohim 2420 E Hillcrest Drive, Thousand Oaks, CA 91362.

Note: we have extended the time for the schmoozing corner to 30 minutes and
it will begin earlier at 1:00 PM

Program: U.S. Immigration and Naturalization

One of the first things that the newly created United States of America did
was to establish laws covering naturalization. These laws, however, were
administered by the states with many variations. Over the years, the laws
were changed. Finally, in 1906 the Federal Government took control of the
entire process. The standardized documentation after 1906 has proven
invaluable to genealogical researchers. Similarly, laws controlling
immigration have also changed over time, generally becoming more
restrictive. As immigration and naturalization documentation can be key
information in tracing one's roots, understanding how the process worked
over time, understanding how the information was recorded and where it might
be found is essential. This lecture will provide a short history of
immigration and naturalization laws and provide general guidance in finding
your ancestor's documentation.

Speaker: Hal Bookbinder has been researching eight family lines for over 27
years, identifying 4,000 relatives and tracing two of these lines into the
mid-1700s. A founding member of JGSCV, and former president of JGSLA and
IAJGS, he created and continues to edit the annual Jewish Genealogical
Yearbook. In 2010, Hal received the IAJGS Lifetime Achievement Award for his
various contributions to Jewish Genealogy. Hal was recently elected to the
JewishGen Board of Governors. He has spoken at numerous conferences,
synagogues and society meetings on topics >from computing to geography to
brick walls.

Schmoozing Corner: Starting at 1:00PM, facilitated by JGSCV member Marion
Werle. Marion has spoken at JGSCV meetings and conferences on genealogy and
is a great resource. This is a great opportunity to ask questions to help
direct your personal genealogy.

Traveling Library: Categories A and B books will available starting at
1:00PM. To see which books that will be at the meeting, see the JGSCV
website at: www.JGSCV.org Library, traveling.

The meeting is open to the public without charge.

For directions and other information regarding JGSCV please visit our
website: www.jgscv.org

Membership: Membership forms are on our website, www.JGSCV.org under
"about" and will be available at the meeting. Anyone may join JGSCV. Annual
dues are $25 for an individual and $30 for a family.

The Jewish Genealogical Society of the Conejo Valley and Ventura County is
dedicated to sharing genealogical information, techniques and research tools
with anyone interested in Jewish genealogy and family history.

Looking forward to seeing you on September 10

Intro: Dr Curt Berliner

I am preparing a speech on a colloquium at the Institute for history of
medicine of the Technical University in Dresden at 13th, September 2017.
The event will be in the cardiology clinic in Dresden.

I try to reconstruct the life of the jewish physician Dr Curt
BERLINER. He was born in 1885 in Krappitz (Silesia). Moritz BERLINER
was his father, Jenny BERLINER n. CASSIERER, his mother. He had three
brothers Ernst, Hugo and Walter. And he had a sister Klara, m.
Unikuwer. He studied in Breslau, Berlin and Munich. HE has graduated
in 1909 at the university of Breslau.

He went in 1910 to Chemnitz, where he started his career as general
practitioner. >from 1914 till 1918 he was a soldier in the I. World War.

In December, 1937 he was sentenced to 15 month imprisonment. The
reason was so called racial defilement.
Curt Berliner was brought in the prison in Zwickau (Saxoy). In May
1940 he could immigrate to Shanghai. Only in 1948 he may go to the
United States, where he lived in the 60-ies in Oakland (California).
His brother Walter emigrated to Bolivia.

I am looking for anybody, who knew Curt BERLINER or could help me to get
more information about his life in the USA. When and where did he die?

All advice and information are very welcome. Thank you very much in advance!

Asher Lemuel LEHMANN (Laemle ben Aaron WELDSBERG) 1779 – 1858
Roeschen LEHMANN nee SUSSMANN (1787 – 1858).

And their children:

Clarchen and Jacques SIMON
Minchen LEHMANN
George LEHMANN
Meir LEHMANN and Therese geb. BONDI

Juda Ascher OFFENBACHER/OPPENHEIM (1703 – 1791)
Rachel SCHLENKER, daughter of Amschel and Miriam

And their children: Esther, Jochebed, Sorle, Mayer

Bernard LANG (1866-1912) and Bina (born 1874 in Diespeck)
Paul LANG (b: 1899 – 1990) Annemarie LEHMANN (b: 1924)

Asher MENDERSCHAUSEN and Jonette nee MEYER
Moritz MENDERSCHAUSEN and Emilie nee LOWENTHAL
Heinrich MENDERSCHAUSEN and Rosa nee BLUMENFELD

MENDERSHAUSEN was later shortened to MENDERS when the family immigrated to
California

I will send you the relevant pages.

Dear SIGgers,

Does anyone know if birth records for Kiel are available for
1890-1900? I'm looking for the birth record of Clara PHILIPSBORN,
daughter of Jacob ("Koppel") PHILIPSBORN and Ida MOND. NS-time
records list her birth as 29 June 1890 but she herself was rather
"creative" about her birth year during her lifetime (varying from
1899-1902).

I would also appreciate any information about Kiel school records for
this time frame.
