Hi Shlomo,

It appears the B.A. of Bayview Nemo stands for Benevolent Association. See JewishGen's burial society site:

You might also want to contact the cemetery for further information about the group:

I would like to suggest that we start a new group for descendants of Dutch Jews. Although the Nazis killed seventy-five percent of the Jewish population of the Netherlands, the country has made a concerted effort to recognize this and to make available lists of those murdered in the Holocaust.  Dutch Jews were among the earliest Jewish immigrants to the US.  I have Dutch Jewish ancestors who settled in Philadelphia and environs in the mid-19th century.
Thanks for your consideration.

Two possibilities come to mind:
1. The father died during the mother's pregnancy (I have also seen girl babies named after their mother who died in childbirth.)
2. Different middle names. You sometimes see revision lists with brothers with the same first name (such as Yosel Shlomo and Yosel Yitzchak). Not every document will list both first and middle name, which can lead to confusion.

If you're on Ancestry, have you tried checking border crossings? I found my family from England came through Canada to Vermont in 1900.

Dear Rose:

The 1919 Bobrka births are included in a register that still resides at the USC (civil records office) in Warsaw. Your sister-in-law can obtain an offical extract of the record by providing details of the birth to the USC. The email for the Warsaw USC is usc@um.warszawa.pl.

To do research on Sephardic names in particular and Separdic genealogy in general, I can recommend two seminal books: Tagger and Kerem, Guidebook for Sephardic and Oriental Sources in Israel, and Malka, Sephardic Genealogy: Discovering your Sephardic Ancestors and their World.

Tedesco was also used, at least during the Renaissance, to designate, in Italian, that a composer was of German origin.  .

"ów" is a genitive plural ending, often tagged on to maiden names, when it means "of the house of". Often the final syllable is cut off before adding the declination, so it's not always obvious what the proper name is unless the father's surname is mentioned in some other document.

My grandfather Morris Weinstein received his draft notice into the Russian army in November, 1905. He was told to report, or show reason not to. I have the original notice on light green flimsy paper. He brought it with him when he arrived in New York on January 6, 2006. I also have a store receipt, he saved, which shows he bought socks and shirts in Hamburg, before his departure. My grandfather was a draft dodger, thank goodness.

Hello, my name is WIESENFELD, my grand-mother's parents were IZAAK HAMMEL and LAJE SPIRA originated from DUKLA. My father and his parents Moses WIESENFELD and CHANA SPIRA-HAMMEL left for Berlin after WWI. I would appreciate if any member of the JewishGen community could help me find any information related to my ancestors. Thank you. Henny Wiesenfeld

Tedesco isn't a name for a Jew, it is a word for German.  Teutons, in Italian.

Alex, Nobody had their names changed at Ellis Island despite what some think. Either your ancestors changed it themselves or a census taker guessed incorrectly at the spelling of the surname. This happened to a couple of my family members.

TEDESCO in Italian means German. My best guess is that immigrants to Italy from German speaking countries who did not have a last name, or did not want to continue with their original one, changed it. In my genealogy database, I have TEDESCO from the late 1700s, all probably born in northern Italy. to my family name Tedesco. Uncorroborated family lore pointed to
of Jewish heritage in Austria.”

Tedesco in Italian means the same as Ashkenazi in Hebrew. It refers to someone who is originally from Germany or is an Ashkenazy Jew.

Hi,

I don't see you on Geni.com but there are many Balkin, Kravetz and some Ledgin profiles already on Geni. Take a look.

The easy route more more data is our USA Census and various extracts. 

Kravetz is quite a well known and deeply researched family.

All of my grandparents emigrated as children from Eastern Europe to Argentina (or England then Argentina) in the early 1900s. I only have a Specific birthplace for one of them. I have found a lot on Jewishgen.org for that one grandparent only.

I have searched cemla.com and found some ship records. I am now searching for marriage records from Rosario, Argentina to hopefully find birthplaces.

Does anyone know the most effective way to get government documents from ~100 years ago when I don’t know the exact years of marriage? They are also Jewish weddings so I don’t know if there even are official records.

I tried partidasYa.com but it was unclear to me that they could get the documents and I have to pay up front. Perhaps it’s a language miscommunication.

Estela from consultas.agja gave me some leads but she did not have information from Rosario.

Any tips are greatly appreciated!
Thank you,
