I can't help translate, but might be able to find friends who would. I'm
very interested in translation of sections regarding the Sziget Kahans.

The first step in researching Jewish families >from Poland is to check
the Jewish Records Indexing - Poland (JRI-Poland) database. From

Jewish vital records of Pultusk (>from 1875 to 1896) and Przasnysz

indexed by JRI-Poland and can be searched on the JRI-Poland

The JRI-Poland database contains a number of DOMB entries in the
Pultusk indices and many LAUFERs in Przasnysz.

In addition to being the town leader responsible for the fundraising to
create the indices for these records, Jonathan Goldmacher is also the
JRI-Poland Shetl CO-OP leader for the indexing of the records in
the LDS films for Przasnysz (>from 1826 to 1865).

Anyone interested in these towns and becoming involved in any way,
should contact Jonathan at <JJG613@aol.com>

My family came >from shtetl Pobelov (accent on first syllable & this is
how they also wrote the name in the Yiddish alphabet) which I am sure using
the Shtetl Seeker is the village of Pobolovo/Pobalava according to all the
directions I was given my entire life >from my older relatives. Pobalava is
exactly where I expected Pobelov to be though we were informed apparently
mistakenly that the entire tiny village was burned to the ground by Nazis
but rebuilt about 1&1/2 miles away. In my family's day it had only 200-250
inhabitants all of whom were Jews except for 2 or 3 Gentiles including the
priest & shames of the shul (!) who was also the shepherd for the village.
It has the coordinates on MapQuest 5301 2947 & is 109.6 miles ESE of Minsk
about a mile off A250. I have never heard of anyone who ever heard of it.
They then moved to Bobruisk.
My question is that I always was told in Yiddish that the family "shtampt
op fun minsker gubernye" but according to the maps it seems that Pobalava
is no longer in Minsk gubernya. Can someone tell me in which gubernya it is
now, perhaps the very helpful Yuri Shcherbina?
Thank you,

Appreciate any information on Moise or his descendants

Diane Jacobs asks about the family name. My family (GLASIER) came to this
county in 1905 with the name SCHKLIAR which means a glazer. They came >from the
city Bialystok, but that doesn't mean they couldn't have moved there >from some
other town the generation before. I have never heard any other town name
mentioned but would like to be able to trace back further. My great-
grandmother remained in NewYork City, I believe, while grandfather raised his
family in Detroit. I am interested in getting in touch with you as it is the
first time I have seen this name on any list.

In a message re The Notebook >from Aschwitz, the town of Nemsova is
mentioned in relation to Spitzer.

Can anyone tell me if this is a Czech or Slovak town and where it is
located? If it is Czech, is it anywhere near Votice or Tabor or even Praha?

I have a family of Travnicsek >from Votice, the grandfather married Julie
Spitzer.

Thank you.

I got a certificate about a year ago. I had to go through the local
consulate in Los Angeles. They give you a form, you send it to them,
they send it to Hungary with a money order that you send with your
request (about $30 last year) and when they get the certificate they let
you know. It took about 4 months.

Is the NY Public Library annex open to the public, or do you have to
order through the main library?
