I have one for my great grandfather and it is about 15 pages or so with entries about all of his service time. It included a marriage that I did not know about. I have attached a scan of the cover of the booklet.

looking for relatives of Miller and Zangier families in Fargo, North Dakota,L originally from Grojec, Poland.
#usa

kosfiszer8@...
Looking for descendants of Matel (possibly Matla) Zanger Miller (1883-1952) and husband Jacob Miller. Her headstone is in the Jewish cemetery of the synagogue in Fargo but I do not know where Jacob's is. They had two sons: Abraham and Israel. All of them were born in Grojec, Poland and came to Fargo, North Dakota in 1911 and 1920. Strange enough there are no records of the family during the census' of 1930 or 1940.
My maternal grandparents were Moshe Zangier and Zisel Miller, both of them born in Grojec, Poland, the same town that Matel Zanger and Jacob Miller came from. My maternal grandparents moved in 1922-1925 to an agricultural colony of the Jewish Colonization Association in Argentina, founded by Baron Hirsch. Because of the time, similar situations and family names I think the families in Fargo, ND and Argentina may be related. Angel Kosfiszer Richardson, Texas

Amelia,
Your last name is interesting to me. My name Malakoff/Malakhov (Малакхов) comes from the Hebrew maloch (מלאך) which means angel. Maybe we are
related :). Alternative version of the name was Malachowsky which sounds more Polish. Bob Malakoff

Re: Help me find 1915 birth record from Harsány, Hungary
#hungary
JPmiaou@...
Unfortunately, like for most of what was Borsod county, the civil registers were only filmed up to 1908 from Harsány (https://www.familysearch.org/search/catalog/1023412). The other obstacle is that the current privacy law is so insanely badly written that archives are using 130 years as the cutoff for birth records, just so they don't inadvertently expose themselves to prosecution. Given that civil registration only started 125 years ago, one result of this is that civil birth records are not available at all from archives or registry offices. If you can show that you're direct family and that the person is deceased, then you can request an extract, but it's the classic chicken-and-egg: they won't do research for you, so you need to already know where/when the event happened in order to get the extract that might tell you where/when it happened.
I assume you've already tried the registry office in Harsány? I don't know what to suggest beyond that. I haven't actually interacted with a registry office in decades, so I don't really know what the current setup and situation is. Julia . /\ /\ .>*.*<

You can look up fabric cutting on the internet. The job was not mechanized at that time to the degree that it is today David Rosen Boston, MA

I also worked on the transcriptions for John Martino, but most images were of indexes, not the actual documents. I spent extra time sorting my work in any number of ways to cut down on errors due to poor quality images, but I (and hopefully others) flagged questionable entries in the spreadsheets. I don't know if the Italian Genealogy Group did any proofing after it received the transcriptions made by the volunteers. For the most part, I don't use the IGG portal at all these days as familysearch.org has actually pulled more accurate info and more details, especially in the NYC marriages, even including parents names of the bride and groom. A final note for the IGG death index--I never left off a date, because the indexes were chronological. At most it would be off by a year because an event happened in late December and not being recorded until the following year.

Re: Post WWII relatives records in Brussels, Belgium - JAKUBOWICZ
#general
sylvia vanderhoeft
Hello,
For relatives living in Brussels here are few possibilities because of the privacy law, as they maintain a 120year privacy which means you can't really get any information after 1900; Unless you go there personallly and can prove that you are a relative of the person or persons you are looking for, which ofcourse is difficult for 2 reasons, I presume you don't live in Belgium , and because of the Covid-19 problems now. Hopefully you can find a way to find your family. Regards, S Stein

Hi Neal,
Rabbi (and attorney) David Avigdor is/was the rabbi at the Congregation Bikur Cholim Sheveth Achim synagogue in New Haven. I'm sure that you're aware that he also had some legal problems here in New Haven. You might try to contact him through the synagogue: 112 Marvel road New Haven CT 06515 Phone: 203-387-4699 Email.com: bikurcholim.newhaven@... BTW, although I never knew any of the Avigdors well, I did meet David several times in New Haven, knew his father, Rabbi Isaac in Hartford, CT and way back in 1960 I had occasion to meet Rabbi Jacob Avigdor in Mexico City. Good luck and stay well, Werner (HIRSCH) New Haven, CT

Looking for possible relatives in Israel for 91-year-old Holocaust survivor
#holocaust
Vicki Schulkin
I recently learned through DNA testing that I am one of a handful of people distantly related to a woman in New York City who was sent to Auschwitz at age 12, and was the only survivor in her family. For all these years Paula has had no known relatives. Some of us now call her regularly, write and send pictures, which thrill her. The exact relationship is irrelevant to her — simply having any relatives seems to have changed her life.
She says that her mother had a brother who was already living in Israel (Palestine) before the war; that he lived in Tel-Aviv; and sold Singer sewing machines. His last name would have been Moskowitz, which was her mother’s maiden name. They were all born in the town of Velkiy Berezna (Nagyberezna) in Subcarpathia. Paula is 91 (born 17 Dec. 1928, according to Hungarian birth records we’ve found). She wonders if her uncle might have grandchildren in Israel. Obviously time is of the essence, and I would appreciate any suggestions for how I might search for possible cousins in Israel. Thank you! Vicki Schulkin

Many Jewish immigrants during that period took jobs as a cutter. My father's first job was as a cutter in 1921. A cutter is a person who cuts fabric. I would refer to this business as the "Shmatah" or clothing business.

Rafael,
I was a member of the team under of the leadership of John Martino of the Italian Genealogy Group that created the index which is used to find deaths, births, marriages, etc. at the NYC Archives. For the most part John's team worked from photocopies of microfilm images of varying quality over the course of many years.We did the best we could to interpret those source documents but team members were frequently required to make educated guesses about the spelling of names, certificate numbers, etc.from records that were barely legible. As a result I would subjectivity rate the accuracy of the index at 70-85% depending on the year. Please bear those limitations in mind when pursuing your research. Marshall

Re: mtDNA matches

You would ultimately have the same ancestral Eve. It depends how far back your common ancestor lived. Most DNA websites assess how far back your common ancestor lived, certainly on autosomal dna sites, if not on mtdna and ydna sites.

An ancestor was killed in a work-related accident in 1894, in New York City. I can't find anything specific about the accident, but city directories & his children's birth records give his occupation as "Cutter."
Anyone know what that is? What type of business would employ such a person? How might it be dangerous? thanks, Phil K.
