This seems a huge amount of money to pay for memoirs. My great grand uncle Abraham Simon Guttenberg (b 1873, Hull,UK) lived in South Africa from the age of 18 until the outbreak of WW1 in 1914, revisiting again a number of times after WW1, and he also wrote his memoirs whilst there. He met people like Mahatma Ghandi, and people who were looking for gold and diamonds (including the main Jewish families around Johannesburg). When he died, he donated his memoirs to Sheffield Public Library and anyone can read them there, for free. Part of his memoirs (not the S. African part) were made into a radio programme by the BBC a few years ago. So you do not need to pay lots of money for memoirs.

Your best best is to take a look at the book by Joseph P. Schultz, Mid-America's Promise: A Profile of Kansas City Jewry.

Re: Is the first name Marx a shortened version of Mordecai
#names
Jill Whitehead
My great great grandfather was Mordecai Serwianski from Sejny in Suwalki gubernia in NE Poland, on the borders with Kovno in Lithuania. He had several grandsons called Marks which was then anglicised to Max or Maxwell. Some of the family emigrated from Liverpool to Chicago in 1905 (having been in Liverpool for 30 years) and called themselves Maxwell, reverting to the patronymic of Mordecai. (NB Serwianski was named after Lake Serwy).

Hi Erika, thank you for your email.
It´s True, it es fascinating document. If you see the stamp there you may think that this document was used as a passport. There is an inscrpition on the back cover showing ¨Vapor Honades Zeelandia¨ I think it is the boat that my grandfather came from Europe to Buenos Aires, Argentina. On page 16 are two stamps that I understand would be customs (1911 and 1912) written in Russian I think. Adrian Koifman Buenos Aires

Re: Is the first name Marx a shortened version of Mordecai
#names
My ggreat grandfather Mordechai Schoenberg was also known as “Max” on his children’s marriage certificates, etc. I don’t think it would be a stretch for someone to refer to him as Marx but I would think Markus/Marcus would be a better match. However, one never knows with diminutives.

Eva Lawrence
The literal translation of your name is simply true (wahr) speaker (Sager), ie. teller of truth. Soothsayer is merely a secondary or implied meaning.

The team found the weaknesses and supposedly the vendor corrected problem. These sort of white hat attacks are extremely useful and helpful in improving database security. Is it possible that some bad guy stole the data before the fix? Yes, but that was not stated or proven in the articles. Bruce Brown Falls Church, VA

Fran,
Using the record number (M91), and the date, (24-Shevat), navigate back a few pages to frame #649 and you will find Chaim in the second record. The surname Bodner appears as part of the parents names. I hope this helps, Rodney Eisfelder Melbourne, Australia

According to InfoSecurity-magazine.com, Family Tree Maker had a data breach leaking 25 GB of data linked to users of the Family Tree Maker software.

The data breach also included 25 gigabytes of data mirrored from Ancestry.com LLC.

Researching CHAMUDIS/CHAMUDES/HAMUDIS/HAMUDES.
#bessarabia
Pablo Libedinsky
My maternal grandfather was one of 12 siblings. He was born in Tatarbunar, Bessarabia in 1885. His parents and 10 children migrated to Argentina in the early 1900's.
One brother (Simon) stayed in Russia and one (Boris) came to the US. From Argentina my grandfather (Felipe) and a brother (Israel) moved to Chile when my mother and I were born. Besides genealogy information, I'd like to find out the origin of the name CHAMUDIS (and its variations). I've read that could be derived from "hamud" in Hebrew and I know what it means.

SZTYGLIC, STEIGLITZ, STIEGLITZ, STAGLIC OR SIMILAR. Searching .....
#poland
SZTYGLIC, STEIGLITZ, STIEGLITZ, STAGLIC OR SIMILAR died or was killed around 1881 to 1883 while in the army. He was married to my great grandmother MOLLY (MALA or MALKA?) SZKLARKIEWICZ OR SIMILAR. Their son, my grandfather Samuel, was born in April 1881. Molly's brother Max, per his UK Naturalization Certificate, was born in Jedwabne, so JEDWABNE/LOMSA district may be where the family were from. However, my father once mentioned KRAKOW as Samuel 's birthplace. It has since been pointed out that Krakow is unlikely as Molly's family were from Russian Poland. Also, a genealogist was unable to find any record of his birth in the Krakow region. It's quite possible, then, that my father was mistaken. Molly with baby Samuel emigrated to the UK shortly after her husband's death.
The point of this post is simply a shot-in-the-dark hoping someone has knowledge of a Sztyglic/Steiglitz or similar who died or was killed while in the army around 1881 to 1883! If so, Eureka! Barry Clarke British, living in Sarasota researching STEIGLITZ OR SIMILAR, SZKLARKIEWICZ OR SIMILAR that became CLARKE in London, Dublin, Liverpool, Bulawayo, Cape Town, maybe USA too, BIENSTOCK OR SIMILAR that became BARNETT in Wales, MYERS in Manchester and Cape Town, NEUMARK that became NEWMARK in London and USA, LEVINSON changed to BRAHAM in London. All families originally from Poland.
