I'd look for a parent's naturalization. At age 14 in 1912, he was probably included in his father's naturalization.

Looking for the oldest son of Jankel-Mendel and Peshe-Freide (Fradel) FLESSER / FLEYSHER from Prienai
#lithuania
#usa
Denise Fletcher
Jankel-Mendel FLESSER / FLEYSHER (b. 1845 Prienai, d. about 1898 Prienai) and his wife Peshe-Freide /Fradel (neé Bialobrodka, b. 1858 Balbieriskis d. 1929 Prienai), apparently had 12 children, the oldest of whom left Lithuania for America before the turn of the 20th century. He would have been born before 1879, we think. Betty / Bessie (Basia), b. 1879, married Chaim Amdorsky Woolf, b. 1883, married Betsy Leah - possibly married somebody Lazarus Kitty - never married Max, b. 1888, married Mary Davis (aka David) b. 1889, married Milly Goldstein Two left Lithuania for South Africa in the 1920s: Benjamin, b. 1891, married Leah Binski Morris, b. 1896 A daughter, Feyga, b. 1880, perished in Lithuania in the Holocaust, and we don't know what happened to a son, Zalman, b. 1893. We don't know the name of the oldest son or where he went, but if any of these details ring any bells, or if anybody has any ideas of how/where to search for this missing brother, please contact me at dfletcheroz@...

Looking for ROTHBART family members originally from South Africa #South Africa
#general
Denise Fletcher
My grandfather, Moritz Jacobson, had an older sister Sarah who married Philip Rothbart. Sarah and Philip had 3 children: Blanche (married Philip Zimmerman and also Percy Eagle), Jukie/Julius (married Bebe Shapiro) and Barney (married Miriam Bessels). I believe Blanche had a son with Philip Zimmerman and 3 children with Percy Eagle, while Jukie Rothbart had 2 daughters, possibly called Sharon and Riva. I am keen to make contact with any members of the Rothbart family for family tree purposes. I can be contacted on dfletcheroz@... Denise Fletcher Sydney, Australia

Re: Divorce Among Jews in Poland
#poland
Shelley Mitchell
It is my understanding that the decision to give a get was the husband’s. A wife might ask for one but she usually needed her husband’s consent.
As more European Jews came to the US, husbands often used the threat of refusing to give a get in order to get a very favorable civil divorce settlement. Over time, in places like NY, judges had to deal with that Jewish issue. I believe they ordered men to give their wives a get. Without a get, a religious woman could not remarry in the eyes of the community. -- Shelley Mitchell NYC searching KONIGSBERG/KINIGSBERG, TERNER, MOLDAUER, SCHONFELD - Kolomyya PLATZ - DELATYN.

Re: Eastern PA Naturalization

The number you have is the number attached to his certificate of naturalization. That is not something that one can ordinarily use to look up a record. However, FamilySearch has records from the Eastern District of Pennsylvania on their website (free with registration). I searched on the name Snader and found him as David Snader, naturalized on 24 September 1912. The way I can tell it is the record you cited is that on the last page (his oath) it shows the number of his certificate: 320893.

Naturalization for Abraham Snador. Look at your timeline. If Abraham arrived in 1902 at age 1 year then in 1912 he would only be 11 y.o. and would not be naturalizing on his own. He could be naturalized as dependent of his father at that time. You may have the wrong person.

Aaron Moses Wander
#names
bwonder@...
I am trying to find the mother, father and spouse of my great, great grandfather, Aaron Moses Wander from Brest Litovsk. Any other advice on the Wander family would also be very welcome. Aaron's son, Benjamin, migrated to London around 1890 and married Esther Levinson in 1892 at the East London Synagogue. Around the same time the family name was changed to Wonder. Any assistance would be much appreciated.

ViewMate translation request - Russian (possible second marriage to sister in law?)
#translation
#russia
#warsaw
Paul Cina
Hi Everyone,
I've posted a vital record in Russian on viewmate (http://www.jewishgen.org/viewmate/viewmateview.asp?key=VM80794) and I would be grateful for a translation.
This is potentially the second of two marriage records for my wife's 3rd great grandfather Uszer (Asher) Lopata; this record (akt 21) is what I suspect is a second marriage, recorded in 1872 in Warsaw between Uszer Lopata and Mindla Rozenberg. Mindla is possibly the sister of Uszer's first wife. I'm looking for any additional info in the translation (ages, name of parents, mention of first marriage etc) to establish if it is the same Uszer Lopata as the first record and, if so, whether his first wife died and he then married her sister.
The first marriage (viewmate link) was on 18th May 1855 in Warsaw between:
Uszer Lopata (27 years old), son of Hersz (his patronymic is Dawid) and Chai
to
Sura Rozem(n)berg (21 years old) daughter of Aron and Frajda Ryfka (her patronymic is Zelig) Thanks in advance, Paul

Occupation in Poland
#poland
Robert Mandelbaum
I recently obtained a photo postcard of a couple from Poland who perished in the Holocaust. Although I do not speak or read Yiddish, I am told that in the letter on the back, the author identifies himself as Itzke the "Kinminker" and explains that he worked with the addressee's father, Alter the "Kinminker." Does anyone know what "Kinminker" means? Was it perhaps an occupation? If it would be helpful to see the writing on the postcard, I would be happy to send it.
Thank you very much, Robert Mandelbaum New York, New York

Re: Divorce Among Jews in Poland

My grandmother was married in Tarnapol in 1890. I found the marriage record on JRI-Poland.
I had been told that she divorced after about one year. She remarried around 1900. I thought that if she remarried, then perhaps her first husband also remarried. When I searched JRI-Poland for him, I discovered that there was a notation regarding the divorce on his marriage to the second wife.
It was interesting to note that the stated reason for the divorce was not the reason I had been given by my family. So, if you are looking for divorce information, do a search for the spouse of the first marriage.
