A belated happy Holiday of lights to all.
On the gravestone of Golde Friedlander daughter of Rav Yitzhak Friedlander (in the cemetery of Spisska Podhradie) is Inscribed "The daughter of the Famous Rav Yitzhak Friedlander" On the gravestone of Rahel Furher (another daughter of Rav Yitzhak Friedlander)is inscribed "The daughter of the Wise Scholar" (Also in the cemetery of Spisska Podhradie). Does any one know of an important Rabbi Yitzhak Friedlander(b. abt.1818-d. abt.1889) active in the Presov, Nova Ves,and Miskolc area in the mid to late 19th century? Would appreciate any help in this matter. Searching for FRIEDLANDER Brezovika, Slovakia (Near Presov), Spisska Podhradie, Spisska Nova Ves (Iglu), Roznava, HALEVY Spisska Podhradie, Many thanks, Victor victor@kfar-hanassi.org.il

Dear all,
Martha lev-Zion posted about cemeteries in the US that might have Latvian sections, where mostly emigrants >from Latvia would be buried. I would be VERY interested in having information >from a project to record the data on the tombstones in those cemeteries. In our Given Names Data Bases project, one of the European countries for which I am entering given names is Latvia. In addition to these Hebrew, Yiddish, and secular names for those living in Latvia during the 19th century, I am also listing the foreign names which emigrants from Latvia adopted upon entry to countries like the US, South Africa,and so on. Such a data base will have obvious benefits for Jewish genealogists. If such a project develops, I would like to know about it, so as to enter these data in the new Latvia Given Names Data Base. Regards, Prof. G. L. Esterson, Ra'anana, Israel <jerry@vms.huji.ac.il> At 17:53 12/31/00 +0200, you wrote: >I was reading copies of GENERATIONS, >from the Jewish Historical Society of >Maryland, which were donated to our IGS Negev library.
