Re: Thank you and apologies #hungary

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.

want to go into detailed explanations on the SIG, since the
information
can be somewhat convoluted.

I'm going to check out your website.

Nice to have you on the SIG. I'm sure that with your experience you
will
be able to make some excellent contributions.

Re: h-sig digest: October 22, 1998 #hungary

Lawrence Korman <korman3@...>
 

The Mormon Church Family History library microfilmed the Hamburg
embarkation manifests and the index to those manifests. Actually, they
are quite difficult to use. If your ancestor came to the US after 1897,
and especially after 1906, the US arrival manifests have equal, if not
more, information. The embarkation manifests >from Hamburg are in
German.

US arrival manifests are on microfilm through the early 1930s at the
Mormon library, as well as the NY port indexes and indexes for some
other ports. The indexes and manifests are also available through the
National Archives.

I don't know much about the Rotterdam information. A giant index exists
in Rotterdam, and a few libraries around the world have it. It is very
expensive, so it is not widely held.

I'm not sure where you are in your research background - new to the
list or new to research. So, rather than bore the whole group, if you
need further guidance, feel free to contact me directly.

Dear Carol, I have a copy of both manifests. One leaving Hamburg

lists made
out by different people.
This is true for the manifests I have checked in the 1880's.
Perhaps later
things changed. Wayne

Question about 19th century Russian census #general

David Goldman <davic@...>
 

I was wondering whether anyone had an insight to the following problem. In
census data >from the last third of the 19th century (1875), there was an
entry for my great-great-grandfather and one of his sons. There is no
mention of his wife, whose name I have yet to confirm. On the other hand,
there is no evidence to suggest she was not alive at the time. Is there a
possibility of a census not including a woman's name? Her husband was 45
years old. >from my attempts at comparing Hebrew names among a variety of
relatives born after 1875,it would appear she was indeed still alive until
the beginning of the 20th century.

have have the revisionist list material. There are a variety of spellings
TUMEN, TUMAN, etc. Does anyone have any suggestions on the origin of the name?
(2) ANother relative was referred to as Meyer Saetzer SLIFKIN. We had been
led to believe that Saetzer was his name, but it does not show up in any
records. It has been suggested that Saetzer is some sort of title or
nickname. Anyone have any suggestions?

decipher the headings of the Civil Registration I received >from Warsaw...I
used the translation book at the FHC for most of the words, but they didnt
have a translation for Sandek...my cousin looked up a posting in the Archives,
and there it was, it means godfather...does anyone know what the word Pathe or
Tathe means, used in a similar context...I m guessing it might mean godmother
or the person who passes the baby to the godfather to pass to the Mohel...any
guesses? Jane Lowenkron Foss, NYC
