Age Descrepencies, Rabbis as Reverends
#general
Ken Stone <ken@...>
Marc Erlitz posted a message regarding age decrepencies on various
immigration documents. I have noticed the same thing with my paternal Grandfather's records. His death certficate lists 1879 as a birth year. His marriage certificate >from 1909 lists his age as 26. That would be an 1883 birth year. ???? Also, a few weeks ago there was a posting discussing rabbis listed as reverends in legal documents. Yep! I have my paternal grandparents marriage certificate >from February, 1909. On the line for who officiated it is written Rev. Solomon Salovitziok of Congregation Beni (sic) Moshe. In the world of Michael J. Flynn the Clerk of Cook County (Chicago)Illinois in 1909, everyone was probably a reverend. Sincerely, Ken Stone ken@instrumental.com

Re: "copple" (kappel) = yarmulke
#general
David Kravitz <dkravitz@...>
Yarmulke, or more "correctly" yamulky, is much more popular in northern
England than southern England. Even more popular now is kippa that is, I think, Hebrew. David Kravitz Bournemouth, UK MODERATOR NOTE: The original question has been answered. Anyone with further comments, please continue privately. This thread is now closed.

Hebrew writing on tombstones
#general
Kenneth J. <kshapiro@...>
Went visiting the graveyards today for dates. I was so bored in
Hebrew school that I refused to learn...so, generally speaking what is written on the tombstones in Hebrew? Is it a mere repitition of the english (names and dates), a prayer, or possibly something that may help me with genealogical research?
