Dear Genners

I've recently ordered an Australian marriage certificate which states that
the groom was born in Ratchannee, Poland/Russia 1837. Does anyone know where
this place is located?

Hi Genners

I received an email >from Ancestry this week notifying me the Gallipoli
War Diaries were available to search; my Great Grandfather served in
the 38th Royal Fusiliers (to which the Zion Mule Corps which served at
Gallipoli was the forerunner) and so I thought to search for this
Unit's War Diaries, the search returned lots of results, but nothing
which seemed to specifically relate to the actions they undertook. I
have read several books on the Judeans and featuring them but for a
long time have been interested to see the actual War Diaries kept by
the Unit.

Does anyone know if these are in Ancestry or alternatively where they
might be available to search.

Thanks

Have you tried the IGRA collection. We have a number of database >from
the Ottoman Empire period. I would also suggest the archive at
Zichron Yaakov which goes back to that period. As to Akko, I
personally have had experience with their archives. Maybe they were
registered with the British consulate in Eretz Israel. If so, they may
be in some of the documents we have indexed. Registration for our
website is free.

Dear Genners:

I am searching for the names of the children of Nathana Nuta APTOWITZER and
Feige (maiden name unknown) APTOWITZER. Two of their children were named
Aron Isak (aka "Arnitcha") APTOWITZER and Benzion APTOWITZER. There may
have been seven other siblings whose names are unknown to my generation.

Nathana Nuta and Feige are my 3 x's Great-Grandparents (my
ggg-grandparents). They lived in Galicia, possibly in the town of Zborow
in Tarnopol Gubernia. At the time of their son Benzion's death in 1902,
Nathana Nuta and Feige were deceased.

Benzion Aptowitzer (spelled Abtowitzer on his death record) died in the town
of Zloczow on 26 July 1902. His death record indicates he is >from the town
of Zborow and is the son of deceased parents Nathana Nuty Abtowitzer (sic)
and Feigi Abtowitzer (sic). He was, according to the death record, 74 years
old at the time of his death. He was buried in the town of Zloczow on 28
July 1902. If the information on the death record is accurate, I would
place Benzion's birth during the year of 1828.

I am searching for the names of Benzion's unknown siblings (sons and
daughters of Nathana Nuta and Feige) in order to add the information to my
family history.

I am also trying to determine whether there is any relationship between my
Aptowitzer family and the renowned Rabbi Avigdor (Victor) Aptowitzer, also

from Galicia. A biography about Rabbi Avigdor Aptowitzer may be found in

the book Morei Galicia; however, there is no reference to siblings.

Thank you in advance.

adventure in exploring the sights and sounds of Jerusalem via three
unique tour opportunities.

"Exploration Sunday" on July 5 offers you the superior options of

fascinating tours of Jerusalem and Israel.

Monday's full day of programming sets the pace for a peerless
schedule of sessions, including one that offers how-to's for those
attending their first IAJGS Conference.

SIG luncheons and other SIG meetings will be held each day,
bolstered by valuable sessions on Jewish communities throughout
the world that dot the daily schedules. BOF meetings will be
announced soon, with over 25 BOF groups planning time together
this year!

Guide to the Perplexed: Nearly every day features a valuable

your research. Experts will also be volunteering for one-on-one
"break down brick wall" meetings for those in need.

Our honored Keynote speaker Rabbi Israel Meir Lau will share his
moving plea to continue to tell the story of the Shoah, striving
to document our family's past as an inspiration for the next
generations to come.
