name change
#names
Richard Gross
12 March 2020
I wonder if anyone could shed light on why my husband’s relative, Solomon Israel, suddenly changed his surname to Sloman sometime between the births of his children, Israel Israel born about 1826, Elias Israel born about 1830, Rachel Israel born about 1835, Sarah Sloman born about 1837, Jacob Sloman born about 1839 and Jessie Sloman born about 1842, all in London, Middlesex. In the Leeds Database he’s listed as Solomon Israel later Sloman. In 1941 Solomon was an artist known as Sol Isreal but in the following censuses he’s recorded as a chiropodist/surgeon. All the details of Solomon and his wife, Mary nee Polack, are the parents of all the children who are definitely part of the family but why the name was changed is a mystery. My husband suggests that it may have been due to antisemitism. However Would this have been done legally and if so where could I find proof. If not, how would the family have ‘advertised’ the change? Looking forward to replies from all and sundry. BeulahG

Actively Searching . . .
SANDI ROOT
Friends in Jewish Genealogy:
The names I search have been posted, edited and upgraded for years on JG Family Finder and Family Tree of the Jewish People, with only 2 solid responses - for which I am forever grateful - * a Chicago cousin who now lives in Israel, and a ** Northern California cousin-by-marriage. So, I thought I would take a chance and possibly spread my search out a little wider, using this format, and see what happens.
The regions I search are: Australia, Canada, Lithuania, Poland, South Africa, London’s East End, U.S. (Chicago, Los Angeles, New Orleans, Brooklyn, Saint Louis, San Francisco).
Take a look and let me know if anything jumps out at you:

Re: berkowitz family
Jill Whitehead
Hi Morris,
Berkowitz is a patronymic name ie son of Berko.My great grand aunt Rebecca Plotnovsky of Raczki in Suwalki Gubernia married Solomon Berkowitz Karobelnik of Suwalki Gubernia in Hull, UK in 1889. He soon dropped the Karobelnik (which means a peddlar) in favour of Berkowitz. Berkowitz then became Birks in the next generation. Jill Whitehead, Surrey, UK

Re: somewhat lost
Renee Steinig
I'm not sure about Samuel, but to paraphrase Henry Higgins in My Fair Lady, "I can tell that his father was NOT born Hungarian!" According to his Petition for Naturalization Samuel's father, Benjamin or Baruch MUHLBAUER, was born in 1871 in Kosow -- a town then in Galicia, a crown land of the Austrian Empire. It's now in Ukraine (https://www.jewishgen.org/Communities/community.php?usbgn=-1043044). Immigrants from Kosow founded the Progressive Kossower Benevolent Society, on whose grounds at Mount Carmel Cemetery in Queens, New York, Benjamin and his wife Mollie are buried. (See http://www.mountcarmelcemetery.com/search.asp?type=interment .) Benjamin arrived in the U.S. (his second time coming over) in Nov. 1913, traveling as Burech MUHLBAUER. With him was his 15-year-old son Schlome -- presumably your grandfather Sam. Benjamin's NYC death record (https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:2W5G-BD5) says that he died in Manhattan at age 71 and that his parents were Mandel MUHLBAUER and Chaie MILSTEIN. There's a good chance that he was the "Itzig Burch MUHLBAUER," born 1871 in Kosow, whose birth record is indexed on JRI-Poland.org . On the other hand, Benjamin's wife may have been born in Hungary. A U.S. passport application filed in 1924 by "Molie" MUHLBAUER, wife of Baruch (https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3QS7-99DQ-RB4X?i=470&cc=2185145) says that she was born in "Bystra, Hungary -- now Poland" (an unlikely change of borders) and that they were married there. BUT, Mollie's arrival record -- July 1914, with daughter Chaje, 7, later Ida (https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3Q9M-C9TX-32XF?i=50&cc=1368704&personaUrl=%2Fark%3A%2F61903%2F1%3A1%3AJJQ5-5ZW) lists last residence and birth place of both as Kosow. As for Samuel's birth place, records vary. His arrival record says that he was born in Kosow, his WWII draft card says "Bistrow," Hungary, the 1915 census says Austria, and the 1940 census says New York! Joshua, you can see, it's not always easy to pinpoint place of origin, but I think you can feel certain of one thing: that Benjamin was a "Galitzianer." Renee Joshua Freeman <jfreeman@...> wrote:

Re: Happy Purim

I'm sure I speak for many when I say that we are very grateful for the efforts of Jewishgen. I volunteered to transcribe German intern camp lists at one time and was pleased to see how well that was managed. Happy Purim to all!

Re: somewhat lost
Sarah L Meyer
Start with finding your families in the Census and other US records, such as naturalization, immigration etc. You can do this using Ancestry.com ($), MyHeritage.com($) or FamilySearch.org (free). Start making a family tree in genealogy software. LegacyFamilyTree.com has a free basic version of its Legacy software - and a great user group on FB. MyHeritage has a FamilyTree Builder which syncs with a tree on their site (however once you go over 250 people there is an annual fee). RootsMagic has a free version as well. My personal preference is Legacy although it is not as Jewish friendly as the other two, but it has more options. Both MyHeritage and RootsMagic also have FB user groups, but they are not as active as the Legacy group, which almost always has employees monitoring the group and beta testers. Once you have gotten your US roots for your family - include aunts/uncles cousins/grandparents etc - go wide, you don't know whose naturalization will lead to the passenger record and the appropriate location in the "old country"; then you can head to Jewishgen databases.

The Name Jur
#names
Daniel Mann
Is anyone familiar with the name Jur (or Jure or Jura)?
Is this a Polish named that was used in Galicia, or perhaps it had a Jewish origin? In particular I am wondering if it was a form of Yair (יאיר) or perhaps it was short for Yeruchim (ירוחם) as in Yeruchim Fishel? Any insights or experience with this would be appreciated. Thank you.

Re: America's women's right to vote.. Registration docs
Women got the right to vote in the United States with the ratification of the 19th Amendment in 1920. Knowing where your grandmother lived at that time will help narrow the focus of your search.
