Is anyone out there familiar with the East Side Workmen's Benevolent
Association, a small New York City burial society established in 1901, which has a small burial plot in Beth David Cemetery in Elmont, NY? I would like to learn more about it.

In case anyone might be interested I have copied the names of its officers and members >from the cemetery gates.

I do hope it's useful to somebody. A few of the
names are rather unusual. Please reply privately to me for
any information.

I would like some help in searching for Enumeration District numbers.
I want the soundex listing for the NEW YORK CITY CENSUS 1910.

There is no Soundex index for New York State for the 1910 Federal
census. None was ever created. Indexes to only 21 states (those
states with poor civil registration) were created. See the
JewishGen FAQ <http://www.jewishgen.org/infofiles/faq>;, Q#8.

I have gone to my LDS History centre and they do not know what
to order i.e. I have an address in 1910 (62 Serreff St) and I
need the E.D. number and page, for that address so I can order
the fiche >from the local LDS.

To find E.D. numbers for the 1910 Census for most major U.S. cities,
consult the National Archives microfiche publication "Cross Index
to Selected City Streets and Enumeration Districts, 1910 Census",
National Archives Micro Publication number M1283, on 50 microfiche
cards. This guide is available at all 13 of the National Archives
Regional branches (see FAQ Q#8), and through all LDS Family History
Centers (see FAQ Q#13). For ordering number at a Family History
Center, see the FHLC Locality catalog under the heading
"UNITED STATES - CENSUS - 1910 - INDEXES".

This cross index translates street addresses into Census Enumeration
Districts, for 39 selected cities across the country. After locating
the correct E.D., then use the "1910 Federal Population Census"
catalog to determine the correct microfilm reel number.
The 39 cities in NAMP M1283 are:

Akron, OH Atlanta, GA Baltimore, MD Canton, OH
Charlotte, NC Chicago, IL Cleveland, OH Dayton, OH
Denver, CO Detroit, MI District of Columbia
Elizabeth, NJ Erie, PA Ft. Wayne, IN Gary, IN
Grand Rapids, MI Indianapolis, IN Kansas City, KS Long Beach, CA
Los Angeles (and county), CA Newark, NJ
New York City (Brooklyn, Manhattan & Bronx, Richmond)

Philadelphia, PA Phoenix, AZ Reading, PA Richmond, VA

Michael Bernet wrote about the internment of 'enemy aliens' in Britain in
1940. It was certainly a shameful episode. However, many of those who were
released >from internment eventually joining the British armed forces.

But his account needs a few corrections.
<snip> In May 1940 the British rounded up all male "enemy aliens"

including tens of thousands of Jewish refugees (...)

Not 'all' were rounded up in May 1940; it took longer than that.
The internment began before Dunkirk and was primarily a response to events
in Norway and in particular to Quisling and the notion of a Fifth Column.
The jeering was localised, and certainly took place in Liverpool. The
hostility was because they were German not because of being thought of as
spies.

<snip> Most were sent to the Isle of Man (in the Irish Sea) and put up in
the empty hotels.

The British offered them an opportunity to go to Canada or Australia, and
promised to arrange for their families to follow. They were put on

military transports together with captured German soldiers. (snip)

Some (as well as long-established Italians) were sent to Canada and
Australia. They were sent, not given the option. German POWs were on the
same ships and the crossings were traumatic. The ship Dunera took weeks to
get to Australia by which time internees were being released. They were
sent back for release straight away. One ship, the Andora Star, on its way
to Canada, was sunk by enemy action and many lives lost.
Most of the internees were not released in late 1940. It took longer than
that.

My grandfather was Berek Rotenstein. He married Sura Rochman. They
lived in Warszawa, Berek worked in a thread factory (was head of it ?
may be owned it ?). They had several children, one of them my mother
Ruchla Rotenstein, born in 1917.

My mother emigrated to France in 1938. As far as we know, nobody else

from her family survived the Shoah. She told us almost nothing about

her family and life in Poland, because it was too distressing for her.
She died 12 years ago, and since then I have been trying to trace her
family, without success. I am giving it a new try using Internet .
