Dear JewishGenners:

I have a copy of an old postcard, 1920, of the interior of the synagogue
that once stood in the town of Dobrzyn and Wisla, Poland.

I would be happy to send a copy to anyone who has roots in this town.

Hope to hear >from you.

My maternal grandmother has told me numerous times that her paternal
grandfather, who was born in Panevezys (Ponevezh), Lithuania, was a rav
(rabbi) there, and after he moved to Jerusalem, he was a rav there, too.

Which sources can I use to get information about my great-grandfather's
being a rav? Assuming he occupied the post as rabbi, and didn't only have
"smicha" (rabbinical ordination), which sources would help me find out more
about him?

Thanks!!

My grandmother and my family always said she was born in 1900 in Canada.

snip>>> I think I remember hearing that she didn't want to say she was

born in the 19th century and in Russia.

The Russia part I can't help with, but since the 20th Century started on
January 1, 1901 your grandmother, even if born in 1900, would still have
been born in the 19th Century.

I received an email >from Diane Lazaar, informing me about her Fischer
ancestors. There is an excellent chance we have a match, and I sent her
all the information that I have thus far. However, the email that I
sent to her bounced twice (the same day that I received the email from
her). The address to which I sent was: BDLAZAAR@aol.com Does anyone
know how to get in touch with Diane? Thanks...

Michalovce (Nagy Miha'ly in Hungarian) is in Slovakia, about 20 km south of
Humenne'. I suspect that Nodmiha/Mihailovce are misspellings of the same
place. Slavkovce (Szalo'g in Hungarian) is also in Slovakia, 15 km south of
Michalovce and 15 km east to Trebisov.
