I'm assuming the the AJHS's archives are being packed up now as are the
others that will soon be housed in the new Center for Jewish History in
Manhattan. Timing in life is everything. Perhaps then someone out there can
speculate on this with me:

I have often wondered how my grandparents ended up in CT for a few years.
My gf came here in 1891 or 93, my gm came over 1897. They came to NY but
two of my uncles were born in CT in 1898 and 1900 (don't know the town--I
tried New London for birth certs with no luck). By 1902 they were back in
NY (could have been sooner but my father was born in 02 and in NYC). Would
I be safe in assuming that they were trying out either a trade or farming
in CT with BdH funds? Chronologically it is the right period and they were
Russian/Polish.

I don't pretend to be an expert in Jewish immigration patterns from
Europe to Canada but I am aware of some published works which deal with
these early immigrants. Barbara, you may wish to read the following
published works:

"The Jews of Toronto: A History to 1937", by Stephen A. Speisman
(McClelland & Stewart, 1979)

"Taking Root: The Origins of the Canadian Jewish Community", by Gerald
Tulchinsky (Lester Publishing Limited, 1992).

In terms of personal reminiscences of immigration >from Europe to Canada
you might find parts of these books interesting:

">from our Lives" by Members of the Baycrest Terrace Memoirs Group,
Toronto (Mosaic Press, 1979).

"Growing Up Jewish: Canadians Tell Their Own Stories", Ed. by Rosalie
Sharp, Irving Abella and Edwin Goodman (McLelland & Stewart, 1997).

There are, of course, many other publications that might help answer
some of your questions but these are in my personal library and I find
them quite interesting and useful.

I've been lurking on this list for a few weeks and wanted to introduce
myself as well as find out if any of you can assist me in my current
project.

I am a reporter (for Newsweek) and I am beginning to do research for a
book on the Jews who spent World War II hiding in the Russian forests. I
will be using my grandparents' journey as a starting point >from which to
tell the story of the hundreds of thousands of other Jews who lived (and
often died) in these forests.

Basically I am look for three types of information:

1) At its most specific, I am hoping to perhaps find anyone who may have
known my grandparents and/or who may have been with my grandparents' group
wandering through Russia. Their names were Sender and Bracha TZIMMERMAN or
ZIMMERMAN and they came >from Tomaszow Lubelski in Poland (about 35km from
Lviv). They traveled first to a Siberian detention camp (I am still trying
to find out which one) and then to Samarkand, Uzbekistan. My grandfather
had two shops in Tomaszow. One sold men's suits and textiles and the other
was a bakery--run by my great-aunt Ruchu (Rachel) TZAHN.

2) Additionally, I am look for information about anyone else >from Tomaszow
Lubelski, esp. anyone who can tell me about the town before the war. (I am
working on having parts of the Yizkor book translated to English. If
anyone has done some work on this please let me know.)

3) Lastly, and most generally, I am also looking to talk to anyone else
who spent the war in similar circumstances, whether they were in Siberia
or in the Muslim republics, etc. I am aware of several personal narratives
written by survivors that retell their journeys but any additional
reference material and/or primary sources would be helpful.

Thanks in advance for any assistance and I apologize for the long post.
