New on the Gesher Galicia Map Room: An 1896 cadastral map of the
formerly-Galician city of Nowy Targ, now in southeastern Poland just north of Zakopane: https://maps.geshergalicia.org/cadastral/nowy_targ_1896/ This map is clear and nearly complete, lacking only the northernmost sheets covering fields and forests with no residential buildings. A second map linked to the first overlays an update from around 1927 of the west-central section of the city, including both the main market square (rynek) and a small second square. For this online version, we "stitched" 22 digitized sheets of the map into a single huge digital image, but unlike most maps in our collection we did not blend the sheet edges because the alignment was already quite good and residual gaps are comprehensible. Inspecting the sheet edges throughout the map is a great way to learn about the high accuracy of 19th-century Galician land surveys plus the graphical distortion which results from 120 years of even careful paper storage and handling as well as modern digitization. The original paper map is preserved by the Archiwum Narodowe w Krakowie. The image attached to this post is a low-resolution preview; to see the complete interactive map at full resolution, click the link above and zoom in.

Re: Newbie looking for a Jewish ancestor in a non Jewish family
#unitedkingdom
Eva Lawrence
You ask whether you Jewish ancestor would have had to cut all ties with her own family on marrying her Christian ancestor in Church. I have a male ancestor who did this, and while I don't know how many of his Jewish relatives he remained in contact with, he was a trustee of his Jewish brother's will, and I have no evidence of any formal converson either. In 19th century England, civil marriages were the exception rather than the rule, and I don't believe that clergymen always asked too many questions of the couple. You should have the name of your ancestor's father and his occupation on her marriage certificate. If you only have the indexed version, you can buy a copy of the original record direct from the Registry Office for about £11 once you can give them the exact details, from the index.
It's free to register on their website and to fill in their form- don't go via any other genealogy site. https://www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/certificates/Login.asp From her maiden name it may be easier to find out her family's religion. -- Eva Lawrence St Albans, UK.

Dear Ellen,
I am sorry for the false alarm, it happens - so many homonyms I guess you have checked already the Paris Archives for the wedding and the birth (1912) using the decennial tables ? I went quickly through the "Fond de Moscou" archives without success for Moroz, Alexandre or Shaya-Leizer (but you can check also -- only the 3 first letters are used for the order) https://www.siv.archives-nationales.culture.gouv.fr/siv/UD/FRAN_IR_050044/c-8kx8sakrb-5ggxnfcthoko Without at least an address/a city, this will be difficult (for me) to find Lidia MOROZ birth act in 1912. There is no records for her death in the INSEE files neither (but they are for post 1970 and incomplete) I checked as well into Gallica the jewish review (l'univers Israelite) where the events are tracked as well -- no success :( I am sorry, none of this is helping you. -- Regards, David CHOUKROUN david.choukroun@...

E Feinstein
I am researching a family HIRSCH / MANDEL that lived in Philadelphia.
The husband died in 1921 and is buried in Har Nebo and the wife died in 1941 and also buried there. No real information is on either of the death certificates. I found however that they were from a Hungarian town called Fosfalou (in English!) However I cannot locate this place. It does not appear in the JGFF Town locator nor in Jordan Auslanders Hungarian Gazeteer. Neither did I find it in the RadixIndex of Hungarian place names. I would appreciate anyone's help in this matter to find out where they were from. Research suggestions or ideas please! Thank you in advance. Eric FEINSTEIN Clifton New Jersey

There is a city that was in Hungary in the 19th century – Kassa, Kaschau, Kosice. (My grandmother was from there.) It’s now in eastern Slovakia. But I don’t think it has anything to do with Romania.

Re: Koloniya Galoche, Odes'Ka Oblast', Ukraine Information Wanted
#bessarabia
#ukraine
Yefim Kogan
Martlise,
yes, I know a bit about that place. It is not a town, but an agricultural colony, which were established in 19 century in Bessarabia, Podolia, other gubernias of Russian empire. Koloniya - is colony, and might be Galoche or Goloche or today is Halochi. (Halochi, Odessa Oblast, Ukraine, 67930). It used to be in Balta uezd, Podolia gubernia before 1917. I am not an expert in Jewish Agricultural colonies, but when I did a "second" reading recently on Bendery Birth records, which is in Bessarabia, I found that 3 babies where born to fathers - colonists registered in Goloche colony, Balta uezd. These records are going to be available at the end of the year. I decided to check if there are any existing records with the places Goloche or Galoche and found about 65 such records, including birth, marriage, death records. I hope this helps. All the best, Yefim Kogan
