David W. Harris <dharris1@...>
A distant ancestor of mine, Moses HOROWITZ, apparently tried his hand at
publishing a newpaper written in Romanian and Hebrew. About 1862 - 1868, in Iasi (Jassy) Romania, he tried to put out the newspaper called Timpul (Time). He was unsuccessful and eventually moved on to other things. I am trying to find a way to get a copy of the newspaper. Any ideas? Thanks, --------------- David W. Harris Silver Spring, MD <dharris1@erols.com>

molly gordy <mgordy@...>
Does anyone out there know anything about Jewish emigration >from the Pale
to the Urals? Was it substantial, or isolated? Was there a particular period of interest? Any particular town? Were there enough Jews to make a shtetl, or found a synagogue? I'm told my great-uncle moved there >from Zhitomir in the early 20th century. Molly Gordy, NYC. mail to:mgordy@msn.com

Constantinople

Heidi,
The longer I hang around JewishGen the more I learn. My GGM Perel SILVERSTEIN MAZOR came through Constantinople in January 1921 on her way >from Odessa.She was 70 at the time and I thought that was pretty brave for a little old lady. The ship manifest was so screwed up that I finally found her listed as Pearl MAJOR. All else checked out so I knew it was her. Thanks for clearing up the Odessa--Constantinople route.

Province or gubernia question
#general
Linda Birnbaum <birnbaum@...>
I am trying to find the Russian links for my husband's grandmother,
Bella BERLIN SEFKIN. We have found the Ship's manifest when Bella and her daughter came to the US. It says that she came >from Rudnie, Russia. The name and cmplete address of nearest relative or friend in country where she came from lists her father, Joseph BERLIN, and for address lists (what I candecipher) Rudnie, Hagiler(???) Russia. The typed index card >from which we found the ship's manifest has this as: Rudnie, Megilew, Russia. We always assumed that Bella came >from Rudnya, between Vitebsk and Smolensk, close to what is now Belarus. What would be the meaning of Hagiler or Megilew? The province? Thanks. Hyman (Chaim) BERLIN born 15 March 1894 in Rudnya died May 1986 in New York had a daughter named Blanche. Bella always told us she was >from Rudnya, so I am not sure what Hagiler or Megilew was, perhaps the province? Let me know if these BERLINS sound like family to you.

What is VEL?

David Goldman wrote:
On a couple of occasions I have seen the word VEL between two namesThis is my favorite question 8-) "vel" is the latin word for "also known as" and indicates that the person(s) in the record was known by more than one name. It was more common in certain areas of Poland than others. You must look at records for BOTH surnames. If the name you are seeing is SMITH vel GREEN, you may also find records for GREEN vel SMITH, just SMITH, and/or just GREEN. Not all branches of the family may have used both surnames. Look at the JewishGen infofile "Alternate Surnames in Russian Poland." There was also an extensive article by the same name in the summer 1996 issue of Avotaynu. Lauren Lauren B.

Meaning of the word VEL
#general
Judith Romney Wegner
Subject: What is VEL?> On a couple of occasions I have seen the word VEL between two namesYes. It's Latin for "or" The term VEL is quite often found in legal or quasi-legal documents -- both in England and Europe, because it is medieval legal Latin -- which was used all over Europe in the middle Ages. Thus, for instance: " Micha VEL Michael" would mean the person's name was either Micha OR Michael. Judith Romney Wegner jrw@brown.edu
