Dear List Members:

I have nearly 100 cemetery images (some of individual tombstones)
that are >from the old Jewish Cemetery in Teplice-Sobedruhy in Northern Boehmia,
Czech Republic. The town of Sobedruhy was once known as Soborten and
is now part of the city of Teplice (Teplitz). I am hoping to create a
working list of people buried there and am not able to translate the
Hebrew writing on the grave stones. If there is anyone with connections
to the town and can read Hebrew I can send you photos of the gravestones.
The cemetery is a cultural landmark and recently was enclosed with a fence
and gate. There is today a small Jewish Community in Teplice and they
now own the cemetery and are embarking on a restoration project.
You can contact me at jhp1963@yahoo.com - I also have much information
to share on the former Jewish Community of Teplice-Sobedruhy for
anyone who has connections to the town. My grandfather was >from
Sobedruhy and his family goes back to the early 1700's there.

Thanks very much.

There's one minor point I'd like to make. As of April 2014, the
complete text of the Brooklyn Daily Eagle (over 750,000 pages of it)

Saul and Solomon are completely different biblical names, but because

Especially to English speakers. To speakers of other languages there
c/sh/would be quite a difference.

Both were written with a shin, the same shin?

it's quite understandable that sometimes
sol and saul might get confused. Maybe the person didn't like the
full name solomon as much, or maybe there was another solomon in the
family, such as an in-law, where it's customary to avoid the possible
confusion of duplicated names.

So the short answer is most probably yes.

ps. as it happens, there's also a third form of sol,
as a common sephardic female name.

Good point.

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:

Please help by contributing to a project to restore the cemetery in
Camenca, Moldova, (Trans-Dniester area).

Yefim Kogan provided the description below.

According to JEWISH HERITAGE SITES AND MONUMENTS IN MOLDOVA, by
United States Commission for the Preservation of America's Heritage
Abroad, 2010 here is a descritiption of the current conditoin of the
Camenca cemetery:


Camenca (Kamenka) Jewish Cemetery The cemetery occupies an area of
about 15,000 square meters and there are probably close to 5,000
gravestones on the site, but more than 50% of them are toppled or
broken. The oldest gravestones date to the 18th century. The cemetery
was once surrounded by a wall, which is now broken in many places.
There is no caretaker and the cemetery is completely neglected.

There is a place to contribute already.
Go to Donate / Bessarabia SIG / Bessarabia-Moldova Cemetery Project... among
multiple cemeteries there is Kamenka, Moldova.

Please let me know if you make a contribution.

Thanks very much.
