ViewMate translation request – One Name in Old German Script #germany #general

Jeff Marx
 

I've posted an 1899 Altona death record, in old German script, for which I need one name deciphered.
It is the name of my 4th great-grandmother, that, up to now, has been unknown.
(I believe it will list her last name as Samuel). It is on ViewMate at the following address:
http://www.jewishgen.org/viewmate/viewmateview.asp?key=VM82337

ViewMate interpretation of photo #belarus #general

dprice dprice
 

I've posted a photo of my grandfather, Itshok Leib/Leo BADASH from 1930 (photo
may be a passport one). It is on ViewMate at the following address
http://www.jewishgen.org/viewmate/viewmateview.asp?key=VM82327

I am curious abut the shirt he is wearing. It it a military shirt? If so, he
would have been age 27 to 31 in WWI. He lived in Grodno, but his birth
certificate says he was born in Bialystok. Was Grodno ever part of Bialystok
district/province?

Please respond via the form provided on ViewMate Image page.
Thank you very much.

Hi Alizah,

Have you traced your grandparents through U.S. census?  Naturalizations?  Passenger manifests? 

Especially with a common surname it will help your research to find the town that they came from originally.  Naturalization papers (especially post 1906 papers) should give you a town of birth.

I posted a document in 2 parts on Viewmate. The upper part is VM 82356 and the lower part is VM 82357.
This document might be for Max Berman from Odessa and/or Bobrinets in Ukraine.
I would like a translation and to know what type of document it is.
Thank you for your help.

Hi Jeremy,

I have seen family members listed as missing on revision lists from Ariogala (near Kovna.)  These people were already living in NYC at the time of being listed as "missing."

Re: Immigration photo possibility #general

David Oseas
 

Visas weren't required until the Immigration Act of 1924 (which took effect on July 1, 1924).

If your relatives naturalized after July 1, 1929, there is likely a photo attached to their Declaration of Naturalization (per Naturalization Act of March 2, 1929).

Re: An Old Song - Possibly Russian, possibly Yiddish #general

avivahpinski@verizon.net
 

Was part of the chorus  "kukirika kukirika+  ...toni go kura ?
If so, that was a song that my father used to sing to me - he was born in Poland in 1896. 
All i remembered was this chorus. Some years ago I sang it to some friends on a kibbutz in Israel and they sang the whole song back to me.
Unfortunately, I do not have it and hope that someone else can send us the words.
The song is about  a rooster crowing in the  morning.  I assume that it is a children's song for waking up in the morning.

Avivah Pinski

I have a very old and distant memory of my grandfather singing a song with a title that sounded like Toni Godl.  The o in Toni is short and I have failed to find any reference.

He was allegedly from Kiev, Ukraine

This has been nagging away for ages, can anyone enlighten me?

Thanks

Re: Jewish name Dove #names

avivahpinski@verizon.net
  


Dov is a fairly common Hebrew name.  It means bear and sometimes there is a bear on the individuals's matzevah (gravestone) 
The Yiddish equivalent is Baer.

I'm sorry if this sounds silly but in researching a brother of the ancestor, his lists his father's name as Dove on the death certificate.  There is nothing on the tombstone.  I don't see the name anywhere else in the family and the family I believe is from Poland.  I've not seen Dove as a name before and was wondering if it is short, Yiddish, or nickname for something else.  He lists his mother as Annie which 2 out of the 4 sons have daughter's named Fannie.

Re: passenger manifest missing/not indexed? #general

If you go to stevemorse.org
You can search the pages of any ship arrival
By clicking on the ship lists section on the first batch passenger manifests to New York. Type in the name of the ship and the month and year. When it comes up, click on the ship's name and up will come the actual manifest pages to look through.

Good luck.

Does anyone have a clue where I could find a marriage and death record for a Polish immigrant who settled in Mexico around 1900-1920, married a few years later, and died in the late 1930s? His name was Max Greenberg from Waldowa; he married Masha Allegant and had two children: “Raquel” and “Juan.”   I can find him in a census on line, and found birth records for the two children, but would love to see the other documents.  Thanks!

Keep in mind that the info on the immigration docs was often given from memory, and the date and/or the ship name might be wrong. I would look at similar dates and, if necessary, other ships from around the same time.

Good luck.

Towns within Poznan region JewishGen' Gazetteer #poland

Alexander Sharon
 

Recently  Moses Jefferson requested identification of two towns, related to surname Ebstein and located within Poznan area. As always, JewishGenners came up with good suggestions and recommendations as to towns identification.

Why I am writing this? What is surprising is that JewishGen Gazetteer and related JGFF database were not suggested for the search.

 

  1. Both towns were located within Poznan region, thus search through JewishGen Gazetteer should be narrowed to Poland.
