I am searching for my cousin, whose maiden name was Pelsa STEINER. She lived
in Paris in the early 1950's. I do not know if she's married, single, alive
or dead. Her mother was probably a ROSENBAUM, most likely originally from
Southern Poland.

If anyone out there knows or has any information on Pesla, I surely would
appreciate some help in locating her.

I have hit a "brick wall" trying to locate the last of my MOED
g-grandfather's 8 children/families. Lena MOED (b.ca 1895 in Odessa)
married-in NY- Joe SCHWARTZ & had 3 children:
Paul, Irving & Hilda. They all may still be living-in their mid/ late 70's
to early 80's. The sheer volume of "same" names on Social Security Death
Index renders such an approach insurmountable & as I said they may not be on this list.. Lena died around 1960, probably on Long Island,NY All the
appropriate NYC death records were of the wrong Lena. SCHWARTZ. Hilda is
thought to have married a PERONE. No one in my "family" has been in touch
with them since 1945!!! Any suggested research approaches appreciated.

Dear All,

Just an added comment to the passenger list database, isn't it
convenient to run a search for surnames to verify that a
surname does indeed appear on the list without the specific
requirement to identify which ship?

Perhaps Lemuel could identify in which of the many internet
search engines devoted to passenger ships he has found names of
passengers?

Folks, I have had some clues that part of my wifes family went thru
Singapore in their travels, and at least one of them, possibly her great
Grandfather Israel Judel Goldberg died there. Since this would probably
in the 1930's maybe the Colonial Office in UK might be a place to start.
Appreciate any ideas.

My husband and I visited Barbados several years ago and toured the
synagogue, which was then undergoing restoration. We photographed a
number of the old tombstones. The inscriptions dated >from as early as
1695, but many were still legible. They were often in Hebrew,
Portuguese, and English. If any of the names listed below are of
interest to anyone in the group, e-mail me privately and I'll send you a
copy of the photo.

David Raphael de MERCADO, 1685
Benjamin MOFSIAH, 1782
David BURGOSS, 1798 (not sure of last number)
David VALVERDE, 1782
M. Lewis DIAZ (according to the English, but Joseph Jessuron MENDE
according to the Portuguese), 1699

I am seeking information on a cousin I've been unable to locate. Sarah PODOLNIK
married Max STUCKLEMAN in the United States and had a son, Gerald.The family
lived in Brooklyn and Sarah passed away in the late '70's, Max some years
before. Gerald married a woman named Francine in the early '60's and we haven't
heard >from them since.

I've tried the various white pages on the Web to no avail.

Thank you.
