Re: Two Children, Same Name - also Sara KAHN from Buttenhausen

A similar question about my family >from Buttenhausen. Wuerttemberg has
been puzzling me, so D. Sage's question of 26 Jan comes at a good time: Why would the two girls have been given the same names, separatedGerstle KAHN (1754-1848) and Ehster/Ester KAHN (1768-1834) had 8 children, born apparently in Buttenhausen.. - 5th child, daughter Sara/Sarah (1803-1881) married Maier BERNHEIMER and moved to Ulm. Their son Lehmann dedicated the Bernheimersche Realschule in Buttenhausen to them. - 8th child, daughter Saerchen/Sara (1807-1884) married Salomon LANDAUER. They are my ancestors. As Saerchen is the younger I can understand her being called "little Sarah", but would have expected "big Sarah" to be a cousin or other relative. Two sources for the above information largely match: a tree - date unknown - passed down through my family, and Geni. These do not include exactly the same information. I would like to get copies of the original registers - how could I do this? In conclusion, the two daughters Sara and Saerchen seem to have - in some places - the same name. Why might this be? Regards, David BERNHEIM, St Martin Vesubie, France david@bernheim.net

Jaroslaw Marriages & Deaths up to 1934 now online on JRI-Poland
#general
David Fielker <fielker@...>
Dear Friends:
I am delighted to announce that extracts of Jaroslaw Marriage and Death records up to 1934 are now searchable online in the Jewish Records Indexing Poland database at www.jri-poland.org Jaroslaw researchers will be aware that until now, only surviving Births, Marriages and Deaths >from 1877 to 1908 were available for searching. However, on March 1, 2015, Polish laws protecting Personal Data were amended to allow full access to Marriage and Death records more than 80-years old. Because of the past generosity of researchers with an interest in Jaroslaw, JRI-Poland was able to move quickly to include the additional years of Marriage and Death records. If you have questions regarding Jaroslaw data or nearby towns of Radymno and Pruchnik for which I am also Town Leader, please contact me for more information.

The person of interest is Chann Baer Presser on the S.S. Haverford, arriving in New York on Dec. 27, 1901 >from Antwerp. The manifest suggests Chann was >from the town of Rudzanso, but it is hard to decipher. It appears his nationality is Galician.

Seek family stories for new Byerazino KehilaLink
#general
I am creating a new KehilaLink for Byerazino (Igumen District before
WWI). In Yiddish, the name was Berezin. This was a market town and port on the River Berezina, downstream >from Borisov, located about halfway between Minsk and Mogilev. Jewish woodsmen logged the surrounding forests and shipped timber, turpentine and tar >from Byerazino to distant markets.The KehilaLink will also include information on the tiny shtetl of Pahost, 6 miles to the East, since according to my own research, the two communities were closely linked. If you have family memories of Byerazino (or Pahost) or if you have photos to share, I would be very pleased to give them a proper place on the site. I'm especially eager to spotlight the involvement of the Jewish community in forestry work - do you have any lumberjacks in your family? I am also collecting stories about interactions with the house of Potocki (a Polish noble family that owned the land around Byerazino and had a manor house in the town). I already have accounts >from two families who leased woodland resources from Count Potocki (and one that successfully sued the Count for breach of promise) but I am interested in learning more. All help warmly appreciated! Carola Murray-Seegert Coordinator Moskva KehilaLInk http://kehilalinks.jewishgen.org/Moskva/ Researching: KATZ, FRIED.

New Project to Map German Jewish Soldier Graves
#general
E Feinstein
The JOWBR of JewishGen has embarked on a new project to comprehensively document
the final resting places of German Jewish soldiers >from the Great War of 1914-1918. We are using the list of the Reichsbund discher Frontsoldaten as the basis of our research. This has been combined with different burial lists >from the volksbund (the German War Graves Commission) as well as a variety of other resources including photographs in actual cemeteries and names on WWI town memorials. Up to now we have mapped the graves of approximately 4000 of the 12,000 Jews who died during WWI. Now we wanted to reach out to all to see who has additional information on specific ancestors or relatives. Please contact me here. All the best Eric FEINSTEIN Clifton, New Jersey

I have come across a May 18, 1945 list of 800 Czechoslovakian Jewish survivors at
Mauthausen. This list was presented to the Holocaust Museum in 1988, and before doing anything with it, i.e. preparing a database, I want to make sure that it has not previously been processed. If you have seen this list elsewhere please advise. Peter Lande Washington, D.C.

Hello to all
In the past it was possible to order lots of LDS microfilms of the Beit Hatfutsot Museum in Tel Aviv. Now they have stopped this service. Does anyone know why? And what is the easiest way to obtain copies of microfilm now? I wrote them but got another explanation, only that the service has been stopped and should contact myself with archives in Poland.

2016 Conference Registration in Full Swing and Filled with Exciting Opportunities
#latinamerica
Janette Silverman <cochairs@...>
If you have not already done so, early registration is now open through
April 30, on the Conference website, www.iajgs2016.org . Early registration offers a $55 discount on the Conference. You may now register for the Conference and reserve your hotel room upon finishing Conference registration. Rooms at the Seattle Downtown Sheraton are available at the Conference rate of $219 per night, plus tax, but only through the Conference Registration page. Room reservations made through other means will be at a substantially higher rate. We hope to add SIG lunches, the Gala Banquet, and side tours to the registration process in the next couple of weeks. You will have the ability to go back in and add additional items at any time between now and two weeks before the Conference, depending upon availability. Registering early has a special perk -- a raffle will be held in early May, after the closure of early registration. If you register in the month of January, you will have 4 entries in the raffle; entering in February will get you three entries. March registrants will receive two entries, and those who register during the month of April will get one entry. Prizes for the raffle will be announced shortly. Preparations are ongoing for the Conference and we can promise you an exciting experience. >from our Keynote Speaker, Dr. Devin Naar, through our Banquet Speaker, "Legal Genealogist" Judy Russel, some of the best and brightest in the genealogy and Jewish genealogy fields are expected to present on a variety of topics. The Conference theme is "The Wandering Jew" and main tracks include The Sephardic Experience in the United States, European Migrations, South American, Australian and South African Branches, Westward Ho! Jews in the Western US, and Coming Home to Israel. A special and separate session will be held on Sunday morning, August 7. This is designed for Jewish Educators and Educators >from all over the world are invited to hear presentations revolving around teaching Jewish genealogy to the youth of the world. Registration for these sessions is also found on the Registration page, and registration includes a kosher breakfast and lunch. If you are registering for both this session and the Conference, a special rate is now available. A number of presentations will be live streamed for those who either can't attend, or have a tough time choosing between sessions they wish to attend. You can get a discounted rate by registering now for LIVE! on the Conference registration page, whether or not you are able to attend. These presentations will be archived for at least three months after the Conference. In addition, an early advance price for DVDs of the audio and presentation slides of many of the presentations can also be found there. Finally, we still have a few cabins left for the Alaska cruises before and after the Conference. For instructions on booking a cabin for cruises to beautiful Alaska, see the blog on our website. Unfortunately, due to Dept. of Homeland Security regulations, you can only book cabins through our Travel Agent if you are a US citizen or legal resident. All others can book directly with the cruise lines, but you will not get a lower price, nor will they provide the help our Travel Agent is offering to help you determine which side trips to take. Each cruise has a number of options. Your Co-chairs are excited about making this both an educational and fun Conference. We are looking forward to seeing you August 7-12 in Seattle!
