My Co-Chairs and I know >from the emails we get, that there are so many
people who want to attend the upcoming conference in Seattle, Aug 7-12,
but who just can't fit the conference into their calendar or their
budget. Although virtually attending the conference isn't as fabulous
as being there, it does provide access to about 90% of all of the
conference sessions. We also know that many of the attendees are
frustrated at not being to attend every session, and since there are
over 235 sessions, that's obviously physically impossible, so we have
solutions for you.

There are two ways to hear/see what's happening at the conference, and
they work well together. I'll briefly describe each of them, since
their titles may not be descriptive enough. The first is LIVE! This
provides live streaming of sessions by some of our most popular
speakers. This means that if you have the time, you can watch (and
hear) the sessions as they are being presented, as if you were there!
The conference is in Seattle, Washington, so the time of each session is
listed in Pacific Daylight Time (UTC/GMT -7 hours). If you don't have
time to tune in while the session is streaming, no worries. After the
conference is over, you 90 days to access the session "on demand".

The other way to hear the sessions is to purchase the audio/slides
recording. Almost all of the sessions at the conference are being
recording (voice only) with the slides the presenter is using. Some
presenters do not have their slides being recorded, in which case, the
recording of that session is only audio. If you purchase this, you will
receive the whole package a few weeks after the conference is over and
be able to listen to the presentation and see the slides as your
leisure. Not all presentations that are on LIVE! are having audio
recordings made.

To purchase LIVE! and/or the audio and slides, go to the IAJGS 2016
website (http://www.iajgs2016.org/) then, under the registration tab,
Select New Registration;
Click "Go to Registration Form (for starting out)" near the bottom;
Click the gray New Registration button;
Enter your personal information and click Continue;
Select 5. Full LIVE! only (not attending in Seattle) or
7. Full LIVE! & Full Audio/slides (not attending in Seattle) and
continue to the end.

Of course, if you are attending the conference and want to purchase the
packages, there are options on the menu above to do that as well.

Looking forward to seeing many of you in Seattle!

I have a letter written by my grand-father to my father, at the
beginning of WWII, >from Tarnow, Galitsia. It is written in German.
I understand a little German, and I am able to read some sentences.
However, the handwriting is very difficult to me.

How can I upload a copy, and find somebody who would transcribe and
eventually translate it for me?

I'm writing to the list for help because I'm at a tiny bit of an impasse.

I'm trying to find proof that my relatives lived in Krakow. They are
Schmuel David FEIGENBAUM, his wife, Reizel GLIEDMAN (possibly listed
under FEIGENBAUM), and their three children, Abraham FEIGENBAUM,
Friede (Frederyka possibly) FEIGEBAUM, and Yetta/Jetti FEIGENBAUM
(Hebrew name Yached). >from family history, I know the following:
Schmuel David and Reizel were married in 1872 (possibly only a
religious ceremony); Abraham died as a child of blood poisoning after
a bad tooth extraction; and Yetta was born in May 1885 in the middle
of a flood, and it took them three weeks to return to their home by
boat. (Her birth date was verified by her marriage record >from Lvov.)
After Yetta's birth, the family moved to Lvov--first Dublany and then
Nawaria.

I have records >from when the family lived in Lvov, stating that
Reizel, Friede, and Yetta were born in Krakau. Yet, I'm unable to
find any of my relatives within the city of Krakow itself. I've also
gone through some of the censuses for Podgorze, as well. I am forced
to conclude that when they lived in Krakow, they meant perhaps Krakow
province, instead. But when I search the entire province on JRI, I
still can't find them.

I'd love to have suggestions for where to go next or what to do. The
best I can think of is going through Krakow province in concentric
circles out >from the city of Krakow, trying to find them in any
unindexed records.

Thank you in advance for any and all help.

Best,

Dear Genners:

Najzdinka LICHTENBERG-FINKELSTEIN was my great aunt (my paternal
grandmother's younger sister). Born in Odessa in Czarist Russia to a
wealthy family,
she became one of the most profound and well-respected pianists in the
Soviet Union with a PhD in piano and music theory. I believe that she
lectured at the Music Conservatory at the University of Moscow. She
resided both in Moscow and at our family's home in Baku, Azerbaijan.

Neither my father nor I ever met her as she lived and died in the
Soviet Union and never visited the States. She was in touch with our
family in England and I remember during the years of the Iron Curtain,
my great aunt Rose placed a phone call to her in the mid 1970s. My
Dad described it as one of the most dramatic things he had ever
witnessed nor did he ever see his aunt Rose ever react that way before
in his life, as neither sister saw or spoke with one another for over
5 decades at least.

Is there any way I can research her with the information that I have?
Any ideas people?

Thank you all very much and I hope to hear >from somebody soon.

Kind regards,

Rashi Rosnezweig
