I'm having trouble reading my great grandfather's
information on the passenger manifest list. I would like all the information,
with emphasis on the names, addresses, and relationship of the closest relative
in Galicia (box 11) and the person meeting him at the ship in New York (box
18). He is the last person on the page, line 5. The ship is Kronprinz
Wilhelm arriving in NY on Aug 5, 1908. I know that he is >from Tarnopol, Galicia.

The information is in two parts:

Hello

I am seeking confirmation of all the names on the marriage record of my
great-grandparents Anshel Zlotnik and Gitel Rzeznik (spelling?).

In a previous translation >from 10 years ago on a poorer image, there was
some question about the mothers' maiden names of the bride and groom.
Anshel's mother's name was transliterated as Chaya Anshelow and Gitel's mother's
name was transliterated as Sura Gelda Nusanow. I would like to confirm that
those are indeed surnames and not patronymics.

Neither of those surnames are present in the JRI-Poland indices for
Zakroczym or Nasielsk (where these families were from) however, there are
records for ENCEL and MOCNY. Could those be alternate transliterations of
Anshel and Nusan respectively?

I've uploaded the marriage record to ViewMate at the following location for
your review:

The (US) National Archives will host a program on President Lincoln and the
Jews with Jewish historian Dr. Jonathan D. Sarna on Thursday, May 7 at 7PM
at the William G. McGowan Theater of the National Archives Museum (entrance
is on Constitution and 9th St NW). The event is part of the National
Archives commemoration of the 150th anniversary of President Lincoln's
death.

Professor Sarna's book, Lincoln and the Jews: A History, tells the story of
relationship between the Jews and President Lincoln. President Lincoln's
lifetime coincided with the emergence of Jews on the national scene in the
United States. President Lincoln promoted Jewish equality, appointed
numerous Jews to public office and had Jewish advisors and supporters.

You tube logo next to the meeting announcement which means it to watch
live or catch up later (see: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=87406ooqg28).
The event is free.

A book signing will follow the program. Presented in partnership with the
Jewish Historical Society of Greater Washington.

JewishGen Education will offer a new online forum - The Jewish in
Jewish Genealogy
May 1 - May 29

Genealogy is more than statistics and facts. This class will give
you a chance to understand the Jewish immigration experience and
we'll discover tricks and tips to successfully search for Jewish
ancestry.

With each passing generation, the torch passes to children whose
lifestyle is further >from the immigrant experience. Now we have to
dig deep in order to bring up images and voices >from the past, to
understand and recreate their lives.

This class will cover Jewish institutions in the old country and
in the U.S. It will help a researcher discover patterns and
prejudices that affected the way life was lived in the new country.
Jewish life cycles, customs and culture, origin of family names and
naming practices, assimilation and acculturation, migrations
patterns and surname mapping will be part of this study.

For this class a student will work on one immigrant family and the
town (or city) where they first settled -- New York, Chicago, St.
Louis or points west. The course includes general research tasks
and assignments to give insight into the Jewish search.

Class is taught in a *forum* setting, private to this class. The
site is open at all times for students to post. The instructor
answers posts daily. Cost is $120 for 4 weeks. The full class
description is at
http://www.jewishgen.org/education/description.asp?course=40022.
