My name was changed by the US.

I was born in Israel, 1950. My birth certificate does not have
any information in English, not even my name.

8 months later, my parents took out a US Certificate of Birth,
as US citizens, this confirmed my US status.

The name on the US certificate does not have any Hebrew. My parents
put down the name as translated in the Bible, and my father's family
name as it was while he grew up in NYC.

The name my parents put down was also used when registering me for
school, where I had endless problem in public school. Dan is not
Daniel and דן is not Donald. Had I stayed in the US, I would have
probably changed my name or the spelling. So far I have yet
to find how to spell my name in NYC English so it sounds close to
my given name - my name was given me in Hebrew.

Records of Home of Old Israel, New York City and 1930 US Census search possible by address? #courland #usa

Susan Goldsmith
 

Dear Researchers,
 
Does anyone know whether the records of The Home of Old Israel, 70 Jefferson Street, New York City can be found in an archive?  See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Home_of_Old_Israel regarding the Home.
 
Is there a way to search the 1930 US Census (or any census) by address?
 
Thank you,

Re: Research individuals in France #france

Michael Turnbull
 

Did you receive the document I sent you? I am a bit puzzled by Adolf Tarnower's business activities! He was trained as an engineer in France and his wife, Sura/Sara/Alice Rozembee/Rozenberg was probably French (?). So how does someone involved in Construction start dealing in clothes? Was that his wife's business? I am attaching a document from Warsaw that shows him in a business relationship with other people. Where did you find the details of Adolf's daughter?

I need to search the quite common surname DUFOUR in France and the only way to identify this person is by adding the wife´s name..
 
This requires a premium account I do not have and I do not think I will ever need again.
 
Gerard or Geraud Dufour born ab. 1830  married to Eveline (also named Jeanne in another document) Dufour born ab. 1840. 
 
Paul Dufour was his elder brother, born about 1828. 
 
The three of them were established in Buenos Aires according to the national census of 1869.
 
My main interest is to know from which city, ville or region of France they originated.
 
Thanks in advance..

Hi from Connecticut,

Thank you so much for this information. I was able to connect Kalma's descendants in France to the rest of the Beserglik clan in Poland (and all over the world), as Carol married to Liba from my original search request was the Kalma from the naturalization records and was already on my Beserglik family tree with the same date of birth. You were also able to give closure to Michnel's date of death for all the family trees that contained this person but only had his death date as "between 1939-1945".

It was so generous of you to provide this information and give your time to this search.
With much thanks,
Debbie Shindell

My mother, born in Bialystok, called them Bialys. My Galitzianer father owned a grocery/deli in NJ and had fresh bagels and bialys delivered from NY every morning. I never heard my mother refer to them as kuchen, although I now know that was the proper name for them.

Re: "His name was changed at Ellis Island" #names

Ittai Hershman
 

Just to note that the "proof" that "Immigration officials changed 'Frank Woodhull' to 'Mary Johnson' on the arrival document suffers from the fact that Frank/Mary was not an immigrant, but a resident alien returning to the US.

And, really, after 131 messages to which I am apologetically adding a 132nd, haven't we flogged this horse to death.  Like all generalizations, there is nuance than can be added; but, the basic truth remains that names were not changed by immigration officials at Ellis Island.  Can we move on?!?

Dayenu,

Re: "His name was changed at Ellis Island" #names

eksilverman11@...
 

One thing that might help clarify the uncertainly and/or debate around name-changing at Ellis Island are clear, verifiable accounts of the document flows from ticketing agent to ship to Ellis Island (e.g., manifests, who wrote what, what was passed where, etc.) as well as the processing of individuals (and documents) upon arrival at Ellis Island. Should any of you know of verifiable sources and references (published, that stand up to scholarly rigor), please let us know. 

For what it's worth, every name change in my extended family that I've looked at was post-immigration...and, in at least one case, post-service during WWI by Harris Klinowski, born in the US, who became Harry Kline.

Thanks.

Yale--Thank you.  Well said, well analyzed.  My objection has been to the absolute position (never ever ever happened) of the no name change at Ellis Island advocates.  You have certainly raised enough questions, I hope, that will make them at least take another look

Re: Origin of the name BIALYI #names #belarus

Mark Halpern
 

In the Bialystok area, there are many people with surname of Bialostocki (and similar spellings). I would assume that the surname Bialy is a shortening of the Bialostocki surname. 

As for Bialy's. They are definitely not bagels. They were a staple of my and your Bialystok ancestors lives. As Glenda says, the full name of these "rolls" was Bialystoker Kuchen. In the US these days Bialys are sold in many places, but the only ones that look and taste like the originals are at Kossar's Bialys in New York's Lower East Side and other bakeries in New York City. For more about this Bialystok delicacy, read Mimi Sheraton's book "The Bialy Eaters."

BTW, there is one restaurant in Bialystok that sells Bialy's, but they are small rolls with some poppy seeds on top -- tasty, but definitely no comparison to real Bialys.
