Help with Russian translation of Records on ViewMate
#translation
Arlene Glass
I need translation of the Russian records from Lomza Poland. They are two marriage records and three death records. The full translation is not needed. On most of the records I only need the date and place. They are all from the Kolaczek family.
The links are below. Please respond using the ViewMate form.
Thank you so much for your help.

Re: are there benefits of the My Heritage site over Ancestry
#general
mbekken@...
I use wikitree for my main tree. One of the problems I have with other sites, as previously mentioned, is that references are not required, so someone can repeat their family lore as if it were known to be true. For example, many trees will list one of my ancestors as an illegitimate daughter of King Christian IV. While her mother was indeed one of the king's many mistresses, I've seen no actual evidence that he was the father of her child. Yet it is often presented as fact. May be true, may not be!

Ellen Shindelman Kowitt
#USA #jgs-iajgs
Introducing the newly-launched JewishGen U.S. Research Division - focusing on all time periods 1654 - present!
Collaborating with JOWBR, the Memorial Plaques Database Project, the Sephardic Research Division, and the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR), we want to partner with every U.S. based Jewish Genealogy Society and encourage the identification, digitization, and indexing of new projects from every city or region around the country.
Join us at the Virtual IAJGS Conference on Monday, August 10th at 2:45 pm EST for our first meeting where inaugural projects will be discussed, and your project ideas and volunteer commitment is encouraged and welcome.
It is suggested that every U.S. based Jewish Genealogy Society send a representative to this meeting and suggest a project that your volunteers can add from your city or geographic region. To identify records and potential projects, contact local Jewish historical societies or archives, synagogues, or search on Archivegrid.org and WorldCat.
I look forward to working with you to expand on JewishGen’s American records collection.

Family Tree Maker is not free, but I have found it to be excellent, stable and comprehensive--and inexpensive. It is priced at $80, but does not have to be renewed annually. (I still use FTM 2017.) Note it is housed on your computer, not online. If you want to sync online, it syncs with Ancestry, but then you are paying Ancestry's subscription fees

In addition to what I said before about Ancestry and My Heritage feeding data from my own tree back to me, I have found most of their “record match” emails useless because if you have been on those services a long time, they are records you already found

My family name is Hantz and they came from Hungary and were Jewish. I have been hitting roadblocks in my research. A huge dead end.

Minnie, There are databases on-line of incoming passenger manifests for many U.S. ports. A manifest from 1882 will likely have no other info than a person's name and name of country of origin. Although, it did vary by shipping line. Later manifests contain much broader info, as manifest data was mandated by the U.S. Here are some sites to try searching: https://stevemorse.org/ A great site with many helpful databases. www.familysearch.org A site with a large number of genealogical databases, including passenger manifests.

Re: Find Address - 30 Osborn, Brooklyn NY
#usa
Jx. Gx.
Jessica Skippon is 100 percent correct. In the 1950s NYC began putting up a lot of public housing complexes and in the process truncated or eliminated entire blocks of streets. If you Google "30 Osborn Street, Brooklyn" you will see in a map the approximate location of that former address indicated by a red dot. It is just below Howard Housing, mentioned by Jessica.

I think they are available if you physically go to an LDS Family History Center. stevemorse.org had links that are supposed to work in a family history center.

MyHeritage definitely has some information that is not at Ancestry or FamilySearch.
One that I know is that the Ellis Island arrival manifests include in their index the name of the person that the passenger is going to. At Ancestry & FamilySearch, that information is only available when you open the image and review it. Not searchable.

The exact meaning of this surname is en epenthesis of the surname Korb which is a german word for basket.
Now, "belnik" is a yiddish suffix for a person´s occupation. Therefore, the epenthesis occurs when you add or substract a letter from a surname. In this case an "a" was added and that is how Korabelnik means "a basket maker or seller". Best Alex

Rifkeh (רבקה) is actually Rebecca in Hebrew and probably Yiddish. The parents probably preferred Rose.

hello, is there a way to find a list of ship names/manifests for arrivals of Yiddish speakers from Russia? My husband's great-grandfather, Israel Divac arrived in 1882 and the 1920 census for Philadelphia listed his spoken language as Yiddish and his origins from Russia. Minnie Schreck
