Re: My Heritage - Theory of Family Relativity
#general
Sally Bruckheimer
Ancestry's Thru-Lines is just matching family trees, yours and somebody else's. I have found cousins by DNA (that I knew were cousins), but they hadn't entered enough family tree to be found by Thru-Lines. But the Thru-Lines found me a second family of a cousin, that was, I think, excommunicated from the family.
If that is all that MyHeritage Theory of Relativity is, it sounds much better than it is. Sally Bruckheimer Princeton, NJ

Zibulsky family
#ukraine
cheryl.r.grossman
My great-grandfather's surname was Zibulsky. He perished with his second wife during the holocaust. They died as martyrs, heroically, and I need information to proceed with a search. I know is that they lived in Kodima (Kodyma?), in the Ukraine. I have not been able to find any records on their lives - or deaths. I am trying to find out given names, birthdate (or assumed birthdate), where they may have lived prior to the war, or anything else. His daughter, my maternal grandmother, was Mania (Manya?), married to Max Gorbaty.

Re: My Heritage - Theory of Family Relativity
#general
gen
I just got my 1st Theory of Relativity, among 4 kits I administer, on my 2nd cousin's non-Jewish German line.
And it seems plausible; awaiting replies from owners of other 2 trees involved. My 2nd cousin's tree brick walled with his GGF's parents info, no siblings. The Theory found a tree owned by someone in Germany, with same parents info with a sibling, went down a generation or 2, then connected with a tree owned by someone in USA who is directly related to spouse but continued the line I was following to the (private) father of the DNA match, where it connected to extremely small & private tree of DNA match. Perhaps the difference in number of results between Ancestry Thrulines & MyHeritage Theory of Relativity is driven by database sizes of 18M for Ancestry & 4M for MyHeritage?

Re: Given name SOSCHE
#names
alejandro@...
Sosche is a derivation of the yiddish Sore. It is, in g¡fact, an hypocorism of the name Sara wehich appears for the first time in Genesis 17:15.
For other multiple derivations on this name, I suggest to consult Alexander Beider's Dictionary of Ashkenazic Given Names. Gut Shabbes

I am surprised to see the statement that in NYC records births are only available to 1909. It's been over 25 years since I visited the Municipal Archives and found my uncle's birth certificate in 1910 and my father's in 1917.

In the 1700’s 3 brothers from Nussdorf, near Vienna, left Nussdorf. One went to Galicia; one went to Hungary and one went to near Berlin. My husband is related to the Nussdorfs who went to Galacia. I am looking for any Jewish Nussdorfs who are from the brother who went to Hungary and/or the brother who went to the area near Berlin. Thanks. Barbara Hacker Berman

Looking for information about Otto Weisz, born in Vienna in 1903, son of Dr David Weisz and Rosa Feuer, came to Scotland in 1934 and worked as a designer for Pringle of Scotland knitwear company. He was naturalised in 1938.
Does anyone know anything about this man's background?

I believe that it is the same as Ancestry thru -lines. It is just named something else. If your tree is not large enough or there are no matching trees then there are no theories of relativity, and no Ancestry thrulines matches.

As you know, anyone can choose any English name, whether or not it "corresponds" to their birth name. However she might choose an English name beginning with the letter L. For example, Louise, Louisa, Lettie, Lottie, Linda, Laura, etc.

This week's Yizkor book excerpt on the JewishGen Facebook page
#yizkorbooks
#ukraine
Bruce Drake
Those of you versed in the practices and protocols of a respectable marriage in the shtetls of Eastern Europe also know that the path to the wedding involved more than a quick trip to City Hall or a visit to the Elvis Chapel in Las Vegas. “Weddings in Our Areas” from the Yizkor book of Mezhirichi, Ukraine methodically and in great detail lays out “the foreshpiel (foreplay)” that began on a Sunday before a Saturday celebration. On Sunday there was the viewing of the dowry trunk. On Monday, the gathering of the groom’s friends to tell stories and partake of refreshments like herring fish and wine. Tuesday was the poor man's day when people from all over the region showed up and received alms from the bride’s father. The aunts arrived on Wednesday. On Thursday, the out-of-town quests started arriving. The "chuppah" (wedding ceremony) was always held on Friday. And finally, the big celebration on Saturday night. Bruce Drake Silver Spring MD

Re: Online trees

Max Heffler
Ah, that is my problem with Ancestry and MyHeritage – “billions and billions” of siloed trees with imperfections and the benefit with a One World Tree like geni, a single tree of humanity with curators to continue to make it progressively more-correct - much like open-source collaboration makes source code less buggy and more secure…

I have found that putting it on ancestry is much better because it remains yours and no one can change it. In geni it’s a public mishmash as you have found, and anyone can add to it or remove things and change it up Sheryl _._,_._,_ -- Web sites I manage - Personal home page, Greater Houston Jewish Genealogical Society, Woodside Civic Club, Skala, Ukraine KehilalLink, Joniskelis, Lithuania KehilaLink, and pet volunteer project - Yizkor book project: www.texsys.com/websites.html
