Latvia SIG Digest for Wednesday, August 26, 1998.

1. GALLANT in Riga 1800 - present

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Jaime, I discovered a GALANT family married into my HIM[M]ELHOCH family,
some of whom were >from Riga. This particular branch moved to South Africa.
You might check with the South African genealogy societies in your search
for the family. Lena HIMMELHOCH b. 1877 married a man by the name of GALANT
and they had two sons. That is as far as I have gotten so far!

Good luck! Martha

I think you will find that lists of missing relatives were frequently
published in the Jewish Chronicle over a very long period. Certainly there
were more after World War II and I'm sure my memory is not false when I
think I saw them in the paper, as a youngster, in the 1930s.

Hallo all,
If anyone has access to the records of Jews in the Austrian army,
could you please look to to see if there is any mention of my husband's
uncle: LACHS Meilach (Michl, Mickl, Michael ?)
He is thought to have been killed while serving in the army in WWI.
Many thanks

Your question is a valid one. The Baghdadi origin families are very
genealogically orientated, but have seem to have little contact with
the genealogical communtiy. I think this is because many of these
families have documented their story constantly over the centuries and
have no real need for Jewishgen!.
However, at the recent seminar in Los Angeles there were talks on :
Jews of Iran Debbie Adhemi
On being Sephardic- Children of the Diaspora
The Jews of Iraq: Tracing Sephardic and and Mizrahi Families in the Land
where Judaism was born
The Jews of the Ottoman Empire
Centre for Iranian Jewish History

We in the JGS Great Britain have a couple who are specialists in
Egyptian and Syrian Jewish genealogy, and our chairman is an expert on
the Ottoman Empire Jews.

Subject: Tarnow Shtetl CO-OP Announcement

Jewish Record Indexing (JRI)-Poland has great news for those who are
researching family >from Tarnow! The first submission of data >from records
transcribed by volunteers at the Goldman Center in Israel (Dorot) has been
entered and made available online through the JRI-PL website.

This first submission to the JRI-PL online database covers the Birth
records >from mid 1863 through the end of 1870, and includes over 3000
records, which are the entire contents of LDS film #0948421. Since this is
a group of records for which there is NO index, all of the data was
entered. The database contains the COMPLETE extract for each individual.
Because there is no index, the only other way to currently find this
information is by examining each record on the film, written in old script.

The fields in these records include: names of child, parents, midwife,
witness, gender, date and post number of registration (AKT) and remarks.
The remarks, many of which were added later (some as late as the 1930's)
include such things as place of birth outside of Tarnow, date of death,
name changes, adoptive parents, religious conversions, and in some cases
Polish Archive reference numbers. When searching through the JRI-PL website
you will be rewarded with matches on surnames in the midwife, witness and
remarks fields in addition to matches on the child's surname; this is an
incredible tool!

As always, these entries should be used as references, which you should
verify on your own, as some errors may have crept in during transcription
and data entry.

Thanks to the Goldman Center and all of the Tarnow Shtetl volunteers who
performed data entry for this database: Judy Deutchman, David Itzkowic, Pat
Jortner, Calvin & Barbara Kitay, Henry Kornhauser, Shimon Neubort, Phil
Rose, Yaakov Schmidt, Len Schneider, Glen Strauss and Michael Trapunsky.
Extra thanks are due to Shmuel Kehati who not only performed entry of
several sections, but also secured many additional extracts >from the
Goldman Center that will keep us busy for quite some time. Anyone who would
like to help with these efforts please email me at the address below. We
now have similar records to be entered covering Births, Deaths and
Marriages >from earlier dates in the 1800's.

Hello, everybody, glad to be on this board.
I'm searching ZELDES surname. As I found, there are a few dozens of SELDESes
in BA, Argentina. Is any one of them subscribed to this SIG, by chance?

For the first few messages, I suggest that all participants post a message

I have lost track of whoever has this book. I would very much
appreciate it if the owner could check and see if Donath Istvan
is listed there.
Thank you. Ethel L. Donath

Hi Everyone! I have had some luck searching for documents in Argentina,
basically in the the civil registrars office. I have most of my family
still living in Argentina but am trying to uncover the "mysteries" of
the families arrival at the turn of the century. My families come >from
the Ukraine and Odessa. In the Ukraine, I have the name of a town called
"TATARK/O" and >from Odessa, it was most likely >from NOVY BUK.

When they arrived, they settled in Entre Rios and La Pampa (Bernasconi
and surrounding areas) The people in the registro civil in La Pampa are
extraordinary! They sent me a ton of documentation!

I am searching for these families:
TRUPP/TRAJTERMAN/LIPOVESKY-ROSENBERG/MARCHALIK-DREIMAN-ROSENBLIT.

I have my great-grandfather's death certificate which states everything
but the elusive name of his father. I have contacted CEMLA and they do
not have an entry for my ggf YOSEL TRUPP. Any suggestions on how I
could locate his resident or citezenship papers or any other document
that would state his parents names? I am guessing he arrived to Arg.
around 1900-1906.
