With the assistance of a kind contributor, a document I received from
the Ivano-Frankivsk Archives was posted on Viewmate and translated.
The translation is as follow:

Declaration
That the undersigned Meier Weisberg hereby confirms he is of Jewish origin.

from January 5 1917 to November 1918 he was a private in Zamosc in the

30th infantry regiment (of Austrian army).
Stanislawow, April 27, 1921


Where would I search for more information on my great-great-uncle
Meier Weissberg with regard to his military service?

Thanks in advance to all who will respond.

Hi All

Jean Dunn, the Australian Ambassador to Poland, Lithuania and the
Czech Republic has just launched the "Australia in Poland, Czech
Republic and Lithuania" facebook page with several articles of
Jewish interest.

One of the first items featured is about a replica roof of the
Gwodziec Synagogue installed at the new Museum of the History of
Polish Jews in Warsaw to be partially opened on 19 April. This will
be a temporary museum opening to mark the 70th anniversary of the
ghetto uprising.

The replica ceiling has been donated by an Australian, Irene Pletka,
in memory of two proud Australian citizens, her mother and father,
Lilka and Jacob (Kuba) Kronhill. They were both immigrant Polish Jews.

You might try to contact the Romanian National Archives, Bucharest
branch at dmb.an@mai.gov.ro, assuming that you have enough data, and
indeed the parties had a civil marriage.

The record would register if there was a previous marriage, assuming
there was a previous civil marriage.

Does anyone know how to get a Bucharest marriage record >from the early
1890s and if that record would say if this was the first marriage for each of
the parties?

I do not have the date, but I do have the names of both the bride and the
groom.

Does anyone know what would be the Jewish or western equivalent of the
given name Zine? The person was born in Bucharest in about 1897.

Thank you.
