I am looking for the original marriage entry in 1933 at Schiffschule synagogue between Ernst Friedmann and Lizzi Weiss. I have found the reference to it on Genteam.eu, which provides the information below. On Family Search there is long list of the original books. I looked through the one for the 2nd district for 1933 but in that book there were no Schiffschule records for 1933, only 1932 and 1934, so I think they must be in another book, sometimes they seem to be logged randomly. Does anyone know a quick way that I might find the record? Many thanks. Colee

My grandfather Harry Chernicoff applied for citizenship in 1915 and on that form (see attached) listed his hometown as something like Windorv Russia.  I know that he was from somewhere around Courland/Kurland as he's buried in one of the Kurland plots at Mount Zion Cemetery in Maspeth Queens and is listed as a member of The Kurlander Young Men's Mutual Aid Society on Jewish Gen. Can anyone help me with the name of the town.

Hi Marilyn, It was a lot of tombstone looking the same in the time of first half of lust century.  It's represent a tree with broken branches, like life what broke in the end.  In my cemetery  in Bobruisk still you can see a lot of tombstone looking a like.

Try "Lawrence and Aaronsohn", by Ronald Florence. Not exactly your topic, bnut has a great deal of information about the WW I period in Palestine and the Nili group

Good morning,

I am researching Harris Wolfe Jeretzky who died 1847 Manchester, England.  It is thought he was born in Prussia at the end of 18^th century or the beginning of the 19^th century.  He had 3 children by a Welsh woman named Elizabeth who was born at Usk, Monmouthshire, Wales.  The names of the children are George Harris Wolfe Jeretzky (b. 1829), Mary Jeretzky (b.1830) and Rosetta Jeretzky (b.1833).  All children were born at Swansea, Wales.  It is not definitely known Harris was Jewish but I have come across the first name Harris when researching other Jewish families.

What I am looking for is the ancestors of Harris and where he was born.

Any help with this research would be much appreciated.

Thanking you in anticipation.

Regards,

Brian Jones

I was born and raised in Ukraine, but I never heard this word before. I will ask around, out of curiosity.

You  may have a problem with who is chosen as the preferred spouse in a marriage where one or both persons had multiple spouses.  The program defaults to the one entered first I believe. It can be changed using the relationship tab and then adjusting for preferred spouse.  I don't think there is an option for having the relationship calculator work differently for different people in the tree.  It defaults to what it thinks is the most direct route.

Hi,

It certainly helped me here in Canada.  The German lawyer I used was:

The writer Edwin Maria LANDAU
<https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edwin_Maria_Landau>, son of Edwin
LANDAU and Julie WOLLHEIM of Koblenz, died in Zürich in 2001, age 96.
An obituary mentions two sons but does not name them. I am interested
in getting in touch with the sons, if they are alive, or further
descendants.

Julie Wollheim was a descendant of the WEISSWEILLER family of
Frankfurt, and through them to the GOLDSCHMIDT, OPPENHEIM, and
ultimately my wife's ancestral WALLICH family of Bonn.

If you have any information on the sons of Edwin Maria Landau, please
contact me privately at Dick@... or geneal@... .

David, thank you for looking but I provided the entire necrology lists in the Byten yizkor book of which I know there were at least 14 members of the Mendelewicz family as well as over 100 other names.  Donations were made to translate the list and a beginning of the Yizkor book as well.

Technically, we may still own land there and were planning a trip which unfortunately I had to cancel. My wife’s family was there until 1942.  Her mother was born in Baranovich and another large part of the family lived in Slonim.

Can someone please translate this document for me? I'm not sure if this document is in Russian or Polish. The document mentions an ancestor, Ryfka Miller or Mejler. Thank you very much!

One advice I received from an unrelated survivor with same name. Look at patterns of first names in the other family. If they are not the same it is likely unrelated.

I found the same naming pattern in my family from Latvia, and it carried over for sons born in the US after the family immigrated. True for every son. Eventually, the question popped-up in another blog. One answer was that it was a practice among Prussian Jews.
My thought is that this pattern may have been an effort to preserve the traditional religious Hebrew/Yiddish naming pattern "son's given name + ben + father's given name"  after governments began to require adoption of an approved surname - but leaving out "ben" to conform to the law.
