Re: Given name Ksyel
Eric Mack
I would guess יקותיאל, which is rendered as "Yekusiel" in Ashkenazic pronunciation, and "Yekutiel" in S'fardit. The name is from the Bible, Chronicles I, 4:18 "וְאִשְׁתּוֹ הַיְהֻדִיָּה יָלְדָה אֶת יֶרֶד אֲבִי גְדוֹר וְאֶת חֶבֶר אֲבִי שׂוֹכוֹ וְאֶת יְקוּתִיאֵל אֲבִי זָנוֹחַ" (דברי הימים א', ד', י''ח). Sefaria translates that verse as: And his Judahite wife bore Jered father of Gedor, Heber father of Soco, and Jekuthiel father of Zanoah. These were the sons of Bithiah daughter of Pharaoh, whom Mered married. Eric Mack, Jerusalem

New data from the Vilnius Household Registers project
#lithuania
Russ Maurer
LitvakSIG is pleased to announce that batch 10 of the Vilnius household registers is now available to qualified donors. The registers were created between 1919 and 1940 when Wilno (Vilnius) city and Wilno voivodeship were part of Poland. The registers contain detailed information about everyone who lived in Wilno city at that time, including many visitors. The registers potentially hold discoveries for anyone whose family was in that general area, which today includes parts of Lithuania, Belarus, and northeast Poland. I urge you to check the batch previews described below, even if you don’t think your family was ever in Vilnius. There have already been unexpected discoveries. To help you determine if this batch or a previous batch is relevant to your research, I have attached to this message a file containing a preview of every batch to date. The batch preview is a bare-bones version of the batch spreadsheet containing just the full name and year of birth (or age) of each person. The previews are presented both in original order and alphabetically by surname. The previews include directions for becoming a qualified donor and accessing the full data for batches of your choosing. More information about the Vilnius household registers can be found on the VHR home page. Any inquiries related to VHR should be directed to me at vhrproject@...

Passage Libau, Latvia to Jaffa, Palestine
#latvia
Roberta Lipitz
What I do know is that my Grandmother left Libau, Russian Empire for Jaffa, Palestine (date unknown). According ship's manifest obtained from Ellis Island, N Y she left Jaffa at age 18 and out of LeHavre, France in July 1903. What I would like to find, if possible, is any documents she, her Father and younger sister needed for this journey.
Any help or information would greatly be appreciated. Sincerely, Roberta Lipitz Cherry Hill, NJ

Re: What is the difference between "town" and "residence" in Ukraine Death Records on JewishGen
#ukraine
Sorry for the multiple postings but I want to correct an error I made. In https://groups.jewishgen.org/g/main/message/640993, I said Dina lost her husband and then her son. It's the other way around: the husband El'ya-Benyamin lost his wife Dina and then their son Don.

Re: Upcoming free access to the Archives of St. Petersburg, Russia
boris
Nancy,
The URL of the archives is spbarchives.ru. I did look at the vital records. There is no name index that I could see anywhere, so, even if you know the name and a year, you would have to go through the entire register, one page at a time. The quality of the web images is barely adequate to read.
Oh yes, one must register in order to gain access to these records.
Regards,
Boris

Re: Fogel family in Rivne or Rowno is this the same place
#ukraine
Alexander Sharon
This appears to be town Rovnoye [Rus], currently known as Rivne in Yelizavetgrad (later Kirovograd) in Kherson Guberniya, Ukraine at 48°15' N 31°45' E
It should not be confused with the larger town/provincial seat of Wolhynia Province - Rowno (currently also known as Rivne) at 50°37' N 26°14' E Conflicting forms that were filled from 1913 to 1940 could not be related to Wolhynia's Rivne since this towns from 1922 till 1939 was located in Poland and was known as Równe, capital of Poland Wołyń województwo.

Miriam,
I am the Transcription Coordinator of SFBAJGS, and we are transcribing all the burials handled by Sinai Memorial Chapel in San Francisco. I have a copy of all the cards from their alphabetical index of burials. We have not gotten to "O," but reviewing the cards I see Curtis ONHAUS, buried on 20 November 1948 at Salem Memorial Park. He died at Mt. Zion Hospital in SF. If you contact Sinai at 415-921-3636, they may have a more complete record. Thank you for being a member of SFBAJGS! Jeff Lewy, San Francisco

Status of the Gesher Galicia mailing list
#galicia
Renee Steinig
As you have heard, most SIG/Research Group lists will soon become part
of JewishGen's main discussion group. However, because we are an independent organization, Gesher Galicia's list will remain a separate, Galicia-focused group. We too will use the new platform, but as a "sub-group" of the main JewishGen Discussion Group. We are grateful to JewishGen for allowing us this option. If you currently subscribe to the Gesher Galicia list, you may still send your Galicia-focused messages there (galicia@...). When we change to our new format, you will be notified and automatically subscribed to our new group. If you do not currently subscribe to the Gesher Galicia list, we welcome your participation -- but please wait to subscribe to our new list once the transition is made or write me privately for other options. Be well, Renee Renee Steinig Moderator, Gesher Galicia

Part of the answer to this question is the family’s Jewish “Affiliation.” There was a famous Chernobyl Hasidic Rabbi, Menachum Nuchem. Many followers of him named children after him. On my family tree there are several who have his name, just as an honor to him, not because he was related. Ken Packer Washingtonville, NY

Re: Birthplace vs. emigration place vs. port of origin for destination in US?

The U.K. Outward Passenger Lists on Ancestry sometimes show how a passenger leaving the U.K. arrived there. I’ve found this information for someone who left from Libau and then took a ship from Southampton to Canada.

Re: What is the difference between "town" and "residence" in Ukraine Death Records on JewishGen
#ukraine
Following up on my earlier post (https://groups.jewishgen.org/g/main/message/640980), I think there are translation errors in the death records for Dina and Elya Shumyatskij that Judy Kaufman posted in her question. Dina's husband is listed as Benyamin in the translation, but the Russian says El'ya-Benyamin and the Hebrew says Eliahu Beniamin. Elya's father is listed as Benyamin, but the Russian says the boy who died is Don El'ya-Benyaminov and the Hebrew says Dan ben Eliahu Beniamin. So his name should be Don rather than Elya and his father should be El'ya-Benyamin. If this is correct, then Dina lost her husband and then three months later lost her son.
