Re: Search for Hawaiian- Jewish Death Notice
#general
Steven Chall <steven.chall@...>
Where can I look up a death notice or obituary in Hawaii (probably
Honolulu) ? The date is unknown but is definitely between 1982 and 1991 and the man was a US citizen, with a Social Security No., also unknown. Abe Nutkis Abe, Have you tried the SSDI using the person's name? If a common name, include "died in Hawaii". This may help you zero in on the date AND provide his SS#. Steven Chall in Minneapolis, MN

Re: finding obit lookup sources
#general
Carol Skydell <skydell@...>
Peter Blood asks:
Where does one find people to do a obituary lookup when allthat >is known is the name, place and date of death, but not the specific newspaper? What sources are at my disposal?Since you know the place of death, you would look at the reference volume at your local public library called Gale Directory of Publications and Broadcast Media which will give you a list of newspapers published in the city/town which you have as the place of death. If the person died in a small town, the likelihood of an obit, or at least a small article about the death is good. If the event took place in a large city, and the person was not especially prominent, the likelihood of an obit is practically nil.....but large city newspapers usually publish death notices supplied by (and charged for) by the funeral home. Your options then are to either write or telephone the newspaper "morgue clerk" or ask for help on this forum for somebody to check it out in a local library. Large city newspapers are often available on microfilm and through the InterLoan Library system. Carol Skydell Chilmark MA

Offer to do research in Erie, Pennsylvania
#general
Jay Cohen
I will be going to Erie PA and Will be visiting a library which maintains an obituary index for the Erie Times (1822 to date) as well as the entire newspaper on microfilm.
Will also be visiting Register of Wills (Probate Records 1823 to date), Clerk of Records (Marriage Records 1885 to date) and Bureau of Vital Statistics (Death Records 1906 to date). Finally, I hope to look for naturalization records in the local Courthouse -- although I don't have specific info on this yet. If anyone needs such research done in Erie PA, send me an e-mail no later than 11 pm on Thursday Sept 17th. I will try to do your research as I do mine. Jay Cohen

1811-1812 Zemplem Census/ ColumbiaU answer
#hungary
CASHEL3776@...
Re: the following, I e-mailed Columbia University regarding getting the rest
of the information. I have attached their answer. Guess I'll have to find me someone at Columbia to find it for me. Have a better chance of going to Heaven than getting to New York. Ley "Dr izidor Goldberg analyzed, dissected and organized the JEWISH data in an article published in a Zemplen periodical called ''Adalekokthat put this out to the list. One of my names, GARTENFELD, Hazer, was listed and I had wanted the rest of the information. This is the answer I recieved. **************** Dear Ley K. O'Connor, On receipt of your e-mail, I forwarded a copy to Mr. Frank Unlandherm, our Judaica bibliographer at Columbia's Library. Below is his response. I don't know that this will help you much, but I believe this is the best we can do long distance. Good luck! Malka Gold ______________

Re: site with yizkor books for sale
#hungary
Louis Schonfeld <lmagyar@...>
Thanks Robert,
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
In addition to myself I know of only two other booksellers in the United States who carry an inventory of Yizkor books (at least ten different titles). In Israel there are also several dealers in Yizkor books. See Jewishgen for more specific information. Even though I carry a few Polish Yizkor books, 90% of my inventory consists of Yizkor books for towns and localities in Greater Hungary. On the web site shown below I noticed about six Hungarian Yizkor book titles. I am pleased to say that I have copies of each of these books (excluding Tasnad) and my price in each case is less that Idealbook's price. This is not a put down of Idealbooks since Aron (the proprietor) may have paid more for his copy than I did. Now, if I only knew how to put my sales inventory on a web page! Sincerely, Louis

The Neolog Issue/ thanks

CASHEL3776@...
I really wish to thank everyone who has help to answer my question re: Neolog. I really believe I have a much clearer picture now. As soon as I assimilate all this, I'm sure to have others. I do really appreciate the URLs sent out, they were very much a help.
Most of the books I have located locally (no supprise, Nevada) seem to be about German and Russian Jews. I have ordered quite a few interlibrary, but haven't recieved any yet. I'm getting there. Ley O'Connor
