Does anyone know what the essential records of Marmarosch (especially
Satmar and Sighet)?
Who is responsible? I tried to send him an email at the address in
sig- Hungary, but the address is wrong.
Hello, I would like to receive updated information, what about Sighet
and Satmar?
Is there BMD of Sighet or Satmar? What years?
Whether they are searching for Jewishgen?
Is there any data that can be obtained only in exchange for a donation
to Jewishgen?
Thank you very much

Hello researchers. I am looking for a town with the name "Obodowo" on a
Polish passport >from 1921, or "Obidowo" on the associated Ellis Island record.
Based on other family records, this place may be close to Korelitz, Nowogrudek,
Negnewicze, about 20 miles south of the Naliboki Forest. Have searched JewishGen
and Jewish Gazetteer, and the closest sounding names (Opatow, Obidovichi) seem
200 miles too far away. Any ideas?

Ken Domeshek - Houston, TX

Damesek and Kartorzynski in Nesvizh, Korelitz and nearby area.

In our previous message, we incorrectly identified Deputy Consul General
Ravit Baer as Consul General. As previously announced, Ms. Baer, a
career diplomat in the Israeli foreign service, served
in Europe and Africa before becoming Israel's Deputy Consul General to
the Pacific Northwest. We are honored to have her present the August 11
screening of the acclaimed Israeli movie "The Dove
Flyer," and apologize for incorrectly identifying her.

"The Dove Flyer" will be shown as part of a Jewish film festival that
has been curated for the conference by leading Jewish film scholar and
teacher of cinema Dr. Eric Goldman. The film is based on Eli Amir's
blockbuster novel of the same name, brings to life the fragile, doomed
world of the Baghdad Jewish community in 1950.

In addition, as at previous conferences, key lectures and presentations will
be made available through LIVE! a real-time video streaming service after up
to 90 days after the conference. It's not too late to register for the
conference or to purchase LIVE! Visit the conference website,
www.iajgs2016.org , for more information about all aspects of the
conference.

We're looking forward to seeing so many of you in Seattle August 7-12.

Good Evening Genners!

I received an envelope of pictures >from a step cousin of mine whose step mother was
my grandfather's 1st cousin, therefore my 1st cousin twice removed. Her name was
Paula FEIGENBAUM-KUPERSCHMIDT and she was born and raised in Lublin, Poland. A
holocaust survivor, she survived about 3 camps, including Aushwitz. She lost her
husband and her little daughter.

Long story short, several years after the war, she went on aliya to Israel.

Getting back to the pictures, in the envelope with a phone number of a woman by the
name of Bracha (without her family name) >from Tel Aviv who was Paula's cousin. The
number has 5 digits. My question is this: is there any way we can look up old
Israeli phone numbers? Any one have any ideas of where I could find these archives?

I know that this may be a long shot, but hey..ya never know!!

Thanks all and have a great evening and night.

I have reported several times about the "unique" situation in Oklahoma since 2011
when only the named person on a death certificate (the deceased) could obtain the
death certificate. I kid you not! An attempt was made to modify the statute in
2014. In 2015, an amendment was adopted which permits anyone after 75 years to
access ala Model Vital Records Act. This is no longer true.

On 6 June 2016, Oklahoma Governor Mary Fallin signed HB 2703 into law. The new law
permits certain categories of people to access the records immediately, such as the
named person, parents, legal counsel,funeral director, and law enforcement
individuals. In addition, public access to death records was reduced >from 75 years
to 50 years. These provisions become effective 1 November 2016. Effective 1 July
2017, the Oklahoma Department of Health is required to have an online public
index including dates of birth and death, and counties of birth and death. Birth
data is added 20 years after date of birth and 5 years after date of death.
Access to the online index is available at no cost to users.

This was reported in the IAJGS Public Records Access Alert which you can subscribe
to by going to http://lists.iajgs.org/mailman/listinfo/records-access-alerts and
follow the instructions to enter your email address, full name and with which
genealogical organization you have an affiliation. You will receive an email

Hi all,

This September I plan to go to St. Peterburg to try to unveil the secrets of the
life of my grandfather, who apparently had a previous family before he was forced
to flee Leningrad during WW2 and start a new family, my own.

I want to see if I can find documents in the state and city archives. I don't speak
Russian, so I would highly appreciate recommendations for a Russian-English guide
or just a nice and ambitious student who can go with me to the state archives and
help me with the search . Please contact me on eshayshon@gmail.com

Thanks
