When my wife's great-grandmother Hannah Dynah LINDENBERG
came to the US >from Poland in 1921 in her late forties,
she listed on the passenger list under "nearest relative
or friend in country whence alien comes" "Sister Elka
GOLDSZTEJN, KrasnoSilce."

None of the descendents of either Hannah Dynah or her
sister knows of any such other sister, and that this
must be a friend rather than a sister.

However, we have a posed Polish photo of a couple and
seven children which my wife's uncle says is a very good
friend of his mother. The uncle says that part of this
family passed thru the London Transit Shelter in about
1925-6 on the way to the US and he went with his mother
to visit them there. He says these are some of the people
in the photo.

The Shelter has not been able to help me on this.

I find it odd that such a good friend should leave no trace
in the memory of anyone in either family (the known sisters
had lots of children and both lived quite along time after-
wards, themselves). Let alone if it were a third sister.

Any ideas how to follow this up on the US end?? (No, we
don't know the husband's name or children's names.)

My grandmother left records indicating her paternal grandmother's maiden
name was "Semi-Elias." That branch of her family came >from West Prussia.
I suppose that her grandmother, Henriette, was born around 1825. Could the
"Semi" mean "half" as in half-Elias? Was this a common practice? Does it
follow >from the practice (pre-surname) of naming children "X" son or
daughter of "Y"? Could it mean that one of her ancestors had adopted the
surmane "Elias"? Any answers would be appreciated.

An email correspondant asked me for the following information. I am not
certain of the correct answer. Could someone help me help her? The
question is:

On august 17, 1938 a law concerning the change in family names was passed
in Nazi Germany in which any Jewish person who didn't bear a first name
other than those classified as "jewish" under the ministry of the
interior's guidlines was forced to adopt an additional "jewish" name.
There was one for females and a differant one for males. What were those
imposed names?

Hi Debbie,

Thank you.

My intention with my post was to request >from experienced list
memebers that actually have and are working with embarkation and
arrival lists, to clarify the issue that seems, due to the different
posts that have been submitted lately, not clear and even cotradictory.

I have tried to contact many times the Mormons in Jerusalem and have
not yet been succesful to get their help nor assitance. I would
apreciate any information that would guide me with whom to talk to
get, for example, these embarkation and arrival lists.

On the other hand, it seems proper to request >from those of you who
already have them all or some, a way how to get copies of them beeing
certainly a shorter way to get them.

Hi Debbie,

Thank you.

My post and questions came with the intention to request >from those
list members with experience in the use of embarkation and and arrival
lists, to clarify and order the issue that, due to different posts
that have been and are yet beeing posted, not only are confusing but
some how, contradictory.

So, it maybe a good idea and even very useful a complete clarification
of this issue to the list.

As well, not having personally worked with the lists and not having
them in my hands, and learning >from the posts that have been submitted
to the list that it is difficult to get them, it is proper to request

from those of you who have them, to find a way, maybe, a shorter one,

to get them.I am interested.

I tried different ways to contact the Mormons in Jerusalem and have
yet not been succesful to get help >from them. I would apreciate if
someone who is in contact with them, to let me know the exact people
to contact.
