Shalom,
As we head out into the long hot summer or the long cold winter, for those on the other side of the planet, I have to report that June was yet another "hyperactive" month for the Yizkor Book Project. Happily, quite a large number of new books and entries were added and notably, a new Translation project has been added this month for Dej, Romania (Des, Hungary) and we are looking for financial support of this project in order to allow those of you with roots there, to read about the people and thriving culture that existed before the Holocaust. If you feel able to assist in helping to finance this or any of our currently running translation projects at: http://www.jewishgen.org/JewishGen-erosity/v_projectslist.asp?project_cat=23 , your help would be much appreciated. The importance of these funds is clearly illustrated in this month's updates, half of which are projects in our Translations Funds. June also saw the addition of a large number of necrologies which not only immortalize the names of our loved ones but also can provide their family relationships, professions, dates of birth and more or these people. As such, these lists are also an invaluable genealogical resource and to assist in research, the names >from the necrologies are periodically added to the searchable Yizkor Book Necrology Database at: http://www.jewishgen.org/databases/yizkor/ These days, this important but time-taking work of adding to the database is carried out by Max Heffler, who also carries out a myriad of other tasks for JewishGen and elsewhere. I would truly like to spread the heavy load which these days falls heavily on Max's shoulders alone and am eager to hear >from any of you who have some time to help in preparing the lists in Excel which are then added to the database. As far as the June figures go, during this last month we have added these 9 new projects: - Burshtyn, Ukraine (Book of Bursztyn) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Burshtyn/Burshtyn.html - Carpathian Mountains (Youth >from the Carpathian Mountains) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Carpathian_Mountains/Carpathian_Mountains.html or http://tinyurl.com/3qejcy6 [includes Izki, Pilipets, Rostoka and Verkhne-Studenyy in the Ukraine] - Dej, Romania (Des..., Bethlen, Magyarlapos, Retteg, Nagyilonda and vicinity) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/dej/dej.html - Kremenets', Ukraine (Voice of Kremenets Emigrants in Israel and the Diaspora - Booklet 10) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/kremenets1/Kre1_1000.html - Kremenets', Ukraine (Voice of Kremenets Emigrants in Israel and the Diaspora - Booklet 16) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/kremenets1/Kre1_1600.html - Kremenets', Ukraine (Voice of Kremenets Emigrants in Israel and the Diaspora - Booklet 17) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/kremenets1/Kre1_1700.html - Kremenets', Ukraine (Voice of Kremenets Emigrants in Israel and the Diaspora - Booklet 18) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/kremenets1/Kre1_1800.html - Murska Sobota, Slovenia (They Died in the Fight for Freedom) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Murska_Sobota/Murska_Sobota.html - Nyiregyhaza, Hungary (Jewish Life in Nyiregyhaza) http://www.jewishgen.org/Yizkor/Nyiregyhaza/Nyiregyhaza.html Added in 27 new entries: - Aukshtadvaris, Lithuania (Lite) http://www.jewishgen.org/Yizkor/lita/lit1869.html - Bad Nauheim, Germany (Pinkas Germany) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Pinkas_germany/ger3_00084.html - Haradok (Horodok), Belarus (Encyclopedia of Jewish Communities in Poland, Volume VIII) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/pinkas_poland/pol8_00229.html - Komyan, Lithuania (Encyclopedia of Jewish Communities: Lithuania) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Pinkas_Lita/lit_00561.html - Katiliske, Lithuania (Encyclopedia of Jewish Communities: Lithuania) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Pinkas_Lita/lit_00559.html - Kietaviskes, Lithuania (Encyclopedia of Jewish Communities: Lithuania) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Pinkas_Lita/lit_00559b.html - Kriukai, Lithuania (Encyclopedia of Jewish Communities: Lithuania) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Pinkas_Lita/lit_00616.html - Krincinas, Lithuania (Encyclopedia of Jewish Communities: Lithuania) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Pinkas_Lita/lit_00621d.html - Krivlyan, Lithuania (Encyclopedia of Jewish Communities: Lithuania) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Pinkas_Lita/lit_00621e.html - Kulbes, Lithuania (Encyclopedia of Jewish Communities: Lithuania) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Pinkas_Lita/lit_00561b.html - Kuliai, Lithuania (Encyclopedia of Jewish Communities: Lithuania) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Pinkas_Lita/lit_00559c.html - Kursenai, Lithuania (Protecting Our Litvak Heritage) http://www.jewishgen.org/Yizkor/lithuania6/lit6_108.html - Laizuva, Lithuania (Protecting Our Litvak Heritage) http://www.jewishgen.org/Yizkor/lithuania6/lit6_130.html - Laukuva, Lithuania (Protecting Our Litvak Heritage) http://www.jewishgen.org/Yizkor/lithuania6/lit6_135.html - Liudvinavas, Lithuania (Protecting Our Litvak Heritage) http://www.jewishgen.org/Yizkor/lithuania6/lit6_147.html - Lucinava (Marijampole), Lithuania (Encyclopedia of Jewish Communities: Lithuania) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Pinkas_Lita/lit_00346b.html - Lucinava (Raseiniai), Lithuania (Encyclopedia of Jewish Communities: Lithuania) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Pinkas_Lita/lit_00346c.html - Luksiai, Lithuania (Encyclopedia of Jewish Communities: Lithuania) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Pinkas_Lita/lit_00348.html - Luoke, Lithuania (Protecting Our Litvak Heritage) http://www.jewishgen.org/Yizkor/lithuania6/lit6_152.html - Lyduvenai, Lithuania (Encyclopedia of Jewish Communities: Lithuania) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Pinkas_Lita/lit_00354.html - Miroslavas, Lithuania (Protecting Our Litvak Heritage) http://www.jewishgen.org/Yizkor/lithuania6/lit6_161.html - Nacioniskis, Lithuania (Encyclopedia of Jewish Communities: Lithuania) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Pinkas_Lita/lit_00410.html - Nakan, Lithuania (Encyclopedia of Jewish Communities: Lithuania) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Pinkas_Lita/lit_00410b.html - Narikishok, Lithuania (Encyclopedia of Jewish Communities: Lithuania) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Pinkas_Lita/lit_00410c.html - Naujamiestis, Lithuania (Encyclopedia of Jewish Communities: Lithuania) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Pinkas_Lita/lit_00401.html - Sobrance, Slovakia (Encyclopedia of Jewish Communities: Slovakia) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/pinkas_slovakia/slo368.html - Warszawa, Poland (Jewish Warsaw that was;

update of Historical Jewish Press
#poland
Rose Feldman <rosef@...>
I would like to bring to your attention a number of papers that have
been added in the last month to this website here in Israel. Although the papers are in Hebrew, they are searchable and maybe important genealogically for those with roots in Austria, eastern Europe and Eretz Israel. Hed Ha-Mizrach published in Jerusalem during the years 1942-1944 and again in 1949-1951. This digital edition contains 2,669 pages. Hed Ha-Mizrach stood out among the ethnic, community-based journals published during the Mandate period and the first years after the establishment of the State of Israel. The driving force behind the paper was Eliyahu Elyashar (1899-1991), the most prominent Sephardi politician of the period, who adopted a policy of opposition to the Ashkenazi establishment - not only on the question of the attitude towards Mizrahi and Sephardi Jews, but also in other matters like the Arab-Zionist conflict. The paper's renewed, digital circulation on the internet is therefore of particular significance. http://jpress.nli.org.il/publications/Heid_Ha-Mizrach-en.asp Ha-Po'eel Ha-Tsa'air The paper served as the main journal for the Zionist Labor Movement in Palestine, >from its inception in 1907 up until the first appearance of the daily Davar in 1925; even after it was overtaken by Davar, it continued to be published until 1970. The website's collection includes only the years 1907-1925. Ivri Anochi The newspaper was published between the years 1865 and 1890 and was one of the most important Haskalah papers, which did not undergo a nationalist transformation during the Hibbat Tsiyyon period. The electronic edition contains 9,331 pages. http://jpress.nli.org.il/publications/ivri_anochi-en.asp New Timeline Diagram on Historical Jewish Press website - it may help you decided which newspapers to search http://t.co/Qf9ruPF #Jewish Rose Feldman Keep up to date on archives, databases and genealogy in general and Jewish and Israeli roots in particular with http://twitter.com/JewDataGenGirl

Yizkor Book Project, June 2011
#latinamerica
bounce-2249598-772964@...
Shalom,
As we head out into the long hot summer or the long cold winter, for those on the other side of the planet, I have to report that June was yet another "hyperactive" month for the Yizkor Book Project. Happily, quite a large number of new books and entries were added and notably, a new Translation project has been added this month for Dej, Romania (Des, Hungary) and we are looking for financial support of this project in order to allow those of you with roots there, to read about the people and thriving culture that existed before the Holocaust. If you feel able to assist in helping to finance this or any of our currently running translation projects at: http://www.jewishgen.org/JewishGen-erosity/v_projectslist.asp?project_cat=23 , your help would be much appreciated. The importance of these funds is clearly illustrated in this month's updates, half of which are projects in our Translations Funds. June also saw the addition of a large number of necrologies which not only immortalize the names of our loved ones but also can provide their family relationships, professions, dates of birth and more or these people. As such, these lists are also an invaluable genealogical resource and to assist in research, the names >from the necrologies are periodically added to the searchable Yizkor Book Necrology Database at: http://www.jewishgen.org/databases/yizkor/ These days, this important but time-taking work of adding to the database is carried out by Max Heffler, who also carries out a myriad of other tasks for JewishGen and elsewhere. I would truly like to spread the heavy load which these days falls heavily on Max's shoulders alone and am eager to hear >from any of you who have some time to help in preparing the lists in Excel which are then added to the database. As far as the June figures go, during this last month we have added these 9 new projects: - Burshtyn, Ukraine (Book of Bursztyn) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Burshtyn/Burshtyn.html - Carpathian Mountains (Youth >from the Carpathian Mountains) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Carpathian_Mountains/Carpathian_Mountains.html or http://tinyurl.com/3qejcy6 [includes Izki, Pilipets, Rostoka and Verkhne-Studenyy in the Ukraine] - Dej, Romania (Des..., Bethlen, Magyarlapos, Retteg, Nagyilonda and vicinity) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/dej/dej.html - Kremenets', Ukraine (Voice of Kremenets Emigrants in Israel and the Diaspora - Booklet 10) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/kremenets1/Kre1_1000.html - Kremenets', Ukraine (Voice of Kremenets Emigrants in Israel and the Diaspora - Booklet 16) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/kremenets1/Kre1_1600.html - Kremenets', Ukraine (Voice of Kremenets Emigrants in Israel and the Diaspora - Booklet 17) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/kremenets1/Kre1_1700.html - Kremenets', Ukraine (Voice of Kremenets Emigrants in Israel and the Diaspora - Booklet 18) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/kremenets1/Kre1_1800.html - Murska Sobota, Slovenia (They Died in the Fight for Freedom) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Murska_Sobota/Murska_Sobota.html - Nyiregyhaza, Hungary (Jewish Life in Nyiregyhaza) http://www.jewishgen.org/Yizkor/Nyiregyhaza/Nyiregyhaza.html Added in 27 new entries: - Aukshtadvaris, Lithuania (Lite) http://www.jewishgen.org/Yizkor/lita/lit1869.html - Bad Nauheim, Germany (Pinkas Germany) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Pinkas_germany/ger3_00084.html - Haradok (Horodok), Belarus (Encyclopedia of Jewish Communities in Poland, Volume VIII) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/pinkas_poland/pol8_00229.html - Komyan, Lithuania (Encyclopedia of Jewish Communities: Lithuania) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Pinkas_Lita/lit_00561.html - Katiliske, Lithuania (Encyclopedia of Jewish Communities: Lithuania) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Pinkas_Lita/lit_00559.html - Kietaviskes, Lithuania (Encyclopedia of Jewish Communities: Lithuania) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Pinkas_Lita/lit_00559b.html - Kriukai, Lithuania (Encyclopedia of Jewish Communities: Lithuania) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Pinkas_Lita/lit_00616.html - Krincinas, Lithuania (Encyclopedia of Jewish Communities: Lithuania) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Pinkas_Lita/lit_00621d.html - Krivlyan, Lithuania (Encyclopedia of Jewish Communities: Lithuania) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Pinkas_Lita/lit_00621e.html - Kulbes, Lithuania (Encyclopedia of Jewish Communities: Lithuania) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Pinkas_Lita/lit_00561b.html - Kuliai, Lithuania (Encyclopedia of Jewish Communities: Lithuania) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Pinkas_Lita/lit_00559c.html - Kursenai, Lithuania (Protecting Our Litvak Heritage) http://www.jewishgen.org/Yizkor/lithuania6/lit6_108.html - Laizuva, Lithuania (Protecting Our Litvak Heritage) http://www.jewishgen.org/Yizkor/lithuania6/lit6_130.html - Laukuva, Lithuania (Protecting Our Litvak Heritage) http://www.jewishgen.org/Yizkor/lithuania6/lit6_135.html - Liudvinavas, Lithuania (Protecting Our Litvak Heritage) http://www.jewishgen.org/Yizkor/lithuania6/lit6_147.html - Lucinava (Marijampole), Lithuania (Encyclopedia of Jewish Communities: Lithuania) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Pinkas_Lita/lit_00346b.html - Lucinava (Raseiniai), Lithuania (Encyclopedia of Jewish Communities: Lithuania) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Pinkas_Lita/lit_00346c.html - Luksiai, Lithuania (Encyclopedia of Jewish Communities: Lithuania) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Pinkas_Lita/lit_00348.html - Luoke, Lithuania (Protecting Our Litvak Heritage) http://www.jewishgen.org/Yizkor/lithuania6/lit6_152.html - Lyduvenai, Lithuania (Encyclopedia of Jewish Communities: Lithuania) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Pinkas_Lita/lit_00354.html - Miroslavas, Lithuania (Protecting Our Litvak Heritage) http://www.jewishgen.org/Yizkor/lithuania6/lit6_161.html - Nacioniskis, Lithuania (Encyclopedia of Jewish Communities: Lithuania) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Pinkas_Lita/lit_00410.html - Nakan, Lithuania (Encyclopedia of Jewish Communities: Lithuania) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Pinkas_Lita/lit_00410b.html - Narikishok, Lithuania (Encyclopedia of Jewish Communities: Lithuania) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Pinkas_Lita/lit_00410c.html - Naujamiestis, Lithuania (Encyclopedia of Jewish Communities: Lithuania) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Pinkas_Lita/lit_00401.html - Sobrance, Slovakia (Encyclopedia of Jewish Communities: Slovakia) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/pinkas_slovakia/slo368.html - Warszawa, Poland (Jewish Warsaw that was;

seeking family in Buenos Aires
#latinamerica
apollo@...
Hello all,
I have been trying for a long time to find some trace of my grandmother's cousin, who migrated >from Poland (Lodz) to Buenos Aires before World War II. The cousin's name was Ester JACUBOWICZ nee SZLAMKOWICZ and she and my grandmother (who migrated to Australia after the war) used to write to each other, but contact was lost decades ago. Thanks to the JewishGen discussion group, and to Yehudah Ben Shlomo in particular, I learned about the AMIA and CEMLA websites, and I believe I have found her gravesite, and possibly that of her husband, in the Tablada cemetery in Buenos Aires. I would now desperately like to find out what is written on her gravestone -- especially the names of children and/or grandchildren -- or if there is any information in Jewish community records in Buenos Aires that could help me find her family. Is there anyone already in or planning to visit Buenos Aires who is going to the Tablada cemetery and could help out? I read in other postings that apparently photographing graves is legally prohibited in Buenos Aires -- I don't know if that's true, but all I want is for someone to note down whatever is written on the matzeva. I would be most grateful for this. According to the AMIA website, Esther JACUBOWICZ nee SZLAMKOWICZ died in 1986 and is buried in the Tablada cemetery, manzana 258, tablon 786, sepultura 14. There is a Miguel Enrique JACUBOWICZ buried in the same gravesite, who I guess must have been her husband. A while ago I posted a photo that my grandmother had of the family from Argentina on Viewmate. It's now in the Viewmate archives: http://www.jewishgen.org/ViewMate/memberadmin/submissionsview.asp?ID=16027 If anyone recognizes the names above or the people in the photo I would dearly love to hear >from you! Thanking you, Miriam Bulwar David-Hay, Ra'anana, Israel. Researching: BULWAR (Lodz, Krakow); FRENKIEL (Belz); LICHTENSZTAJN, KRYSKA (Lodz, Brzeziny, Plock); WAKS (Lodz, Nowe Miasto nad Pilica); KALUSZYNER, KUSMIERSKI (Lodz, Kaluszyn); KASZKIET, KUZKA, WROBEL, RZETELNY (Kaluszyn).

Yizkor Book Project, June 2011
#poland
Lance Ackerfeld <lance.ackerfeld@...>
Shalom,
As we head out into the long hot summer or the long cold winter, for those on the other side of the planet, I have to report that June was yet another "hyperactive" month for the Yizkor Book Project. Happily, quite a large number of new books and entries were added and notably, a new Translation project has been added this month for Dej, Romania (Des, Hungary) and we are looking for financial support of this project in order to allow those of you with roots there, to read about the people and thriving culture that existed before the Holocaust. If you feel able to assist in helping to finance this or any of our currently running translation projects at: http://www.jewishgen.org/JewishGen-erosity/v_projectslist.asp?project_cat=23 , your help would be much appreciated. The importance of these funds is clearly illustrated in this month's updates, half of which are projects in our Translations Funds. June also saw the addition of a large number of necrologies which not only immortalize the names of our loved ones but also can provide their family relationships, professions, dates of birth and more or these people. As such, these lists are also an invaluable genealogical resource and to assist in research, the names >from the necrologies are periodically added to the searchable Yizkor Book Necrology Database at: http://www.jewishgen.org/databases/yizkor/ These days, this important but time-taking work of adding to the database is carried out by Max Heffler, who also carries out a myriad of other tasks for JewishGen and elsewhere. I would truly like to spread the heavy load which these days falls heavily on Max's shoulders alone and am eager to hear >from any of you who have some time to help in preparing the lists in Excel which are then added to the database. As far as the June figures go, during this last month we have added these 9 new projects: - Burshtyn, Ukraine (Book of Bursztyn) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Burshtyn/Burshtyn.html - Carpathian Mountains (Youth >from the Carpathian Mountains) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Carpathian_Mountains/Carpathian_Mountains.html or http://tinyurl.com/3qejcy6 [includes Izki, Pilipets, Rostoka and Verkhne-Studenyy in the Ukraine] - Dej, Romania (Des..., Bethlen, Magyarlapos, Retteg, Nagyilonda and vicinity) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/dej/dej.html - Kremenets', Ukraine (Voice of Kremenets Emigrants in Israel and the Diaspora - Booklet 10) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/kremenets1/Kre1_1000.html - Kremenets', Ukraine (Voice of Kremenets Emigrants in Israel and the Diaspora - Booklet 16) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/kremenets1/Kre1_1600.html - Kremenets', Ukraine (Voice of Kremenets Emigrants in Israel and the Diaspora - Booklet 17) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/kremenets1/Kre1_1700.html - Kremenets', Ukraine (Voice of Kremenets Emigrants in Israel and the Diaspora - Booklet 18) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/kremenets1/Kre1_1800.html - Murska Sobota, Slovenia (They Died in the Fight for Freedom) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Murska_Sobota/Murska_Sobota.html - Nyiregyhaza, Hungary (Jewish Life in Nyiregyhaza) http://www.jewishgen.org/Yizkor/Nyiregyhaza/Nyiregyhaza.html Added in 27 new entries: - Aukshtadvaris, Lithuania (Lite) http://www.jewishgen.org/Yizkor/lita/lit1869.html - Bad Nauheim, Germany (Pinkas Germany) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Pinkas_germany/ger3_00084.html - Haradok (Horodok), Belarus (Encyclopedia of Jewish Communities in Poland, Volume VIII) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/pinkas_poland/pol8_00229.html - Komyan, Lithuania (Encyclopedia of Jewish Communities: Lithuania) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Pinkas_Lita/lit_00561.html - Katiliske, Lithuania (Encyclopedia of Jewish Communities: Lithuania) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Pinkas_Lita/lit_00559.html - Kietaviskes, Lithuania (Encyclopedia of Jewish Communities: Lithuania) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Pinkas_Lita/lit_00559b.html - Kriukai, Lithuania (Encyclopedia of Jewish Communities: Lithuania) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Pinkas_Lita/lit_00616.html - Krincinas, Lithuania (Encyclopedia of Jewish Communities: Lithuania) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Pinkas_Lita/lit_00621d.html - Krivlyan, Lithuania (Encyclopedia of Jewish Communities: Lithuania) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Pinkas_Lita/lit_00621e.html - Kulbes, Lithuania (Encyclopedia of Jewish Communities: Lithuania) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Pinkas_Lita/lit_00561b.html - Kuliai, Lithuania (Encyclopedia of Jewish Communities: Lithuania) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Pinkas_Lita/lit_00559c.html - Kursenai, Lithuania (Protecting Our Litvak Heritage) http://www.jewishgen.org/Yizkor/lithuania6/lit6_108.html - Laizuva, Lithuania (Protecting Our Litvak Heritage) http://www.jewishgen.org/Yizkor/lithuania6/lit6_130.html - Laukuva, Lithuania (Protecting Our Litvak Heritage) http://www.jewishgen.org/Yizkor/lithuania6/lit6_135.html - Liudvinavas, Lithuania (Protecting Our Litvak Heritage) http://www.jewishgen.org/Yizkor/lithuania6/lit6_147.html - Lucinava (Marijampole), Lithuania (Encyclopedia of Jewish Communities: Lithuania) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Pinkas_Lita/lit_00346b.html - Lucinava (Raseiniai), Lithuania (Encyclopedia of Jewish Communities: Lithuania) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Pinkas_Lita/lit_00346c.html - Luksiai, Lithuania (Encyclopedia of Jewish Communities: Lithuania) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Pinkas_Lita/lit_00348.html - Luoke, Lithuania (Protecting Our Litvak Heritage) http://www.jewishgen.org/Yizkor/lithuania6/lit6_152.html - Lyduvenai, Lithuania (Encyclopedia of Jewish Communities: Lithuania) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Pinkas_Lita/lit_00354.html - Miroslavas, Lithuania (Protecting Our Litvak Heritage) http://www.jewishgen.org/Yizkor/lithuania6/lit6_161.html - Nacioniskis, Lithuania (Encyclopedia of Jewish Communities: Lithuania) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Pinkas_Lita/lit_00410.html - Nakan, Lithuania (Encyclopedia of Jewish Communities: Lithuania) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Pinkas_Lita/lit_00410b.html - Narikishok, Lithuania (Encyclopedia of Jewish Communities: Lithuania) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Pinkas_Lita/lit_00410c.html - Naujamiestis, Lithuania (Encyclopedia of Jewish Communities: Lithuania) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Pinkas_Lita/lit_00401.html - Sobrance, Slovakia (Encyclopedia of Jewish Communities: Slovakia) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/pinkas_slovakia/slo368.html - Warszawa, Poland (Jewish Warsaw that was;

DC2011: Family panel Jewish genetic diseases at Genealogy conference
#latinamerica
bounce-2248040-772964@...
Th-409 "Genzyme Panel: Our Heritage and Our Health"
Thursday, August 18, 2011 >from 2:15 PM - 5:00 PM 1 in 5 Ashkenazi Jews is a carrier of a gene mutation for at least one of 19 preventable diseases for which screening is available. These diseases occur with greater frequency in the AJ population. Some are life-threatening and may lead to death in childhood. The most well-known Jewish genetic disease is Tay-Sachs disease. Since screening for Tay-Sachs was introduced in the 1970's the number of babies with Tay-Sachs born in the Jewish community has dropped by 90%. Most babies born today with Tay-Sachs disease do not have Ashekanzi Jewish ancestry. The panel of family members at the Genealogy conference will introduce you to some of the other diseases for which we need to raise awareness in the Jewish community and ensure that all young adults are screened for prior to starting a family. Since a carrier is healthy and has no outward signs of being a carrier , a blood test is essential to find out of one is a carrier. The only other way to find out is after the birth of an affected child. This panel aims to provide a personal perspective about what some of the diseases are, how they affect the individual and the impact on the family. Our panel members are Susan Stillman, the mother of a 13 year old son with familial dysautonomia; Joy Paul whose niece, Allison, passed away from Canavan disease. Dana Doheny is the mother of a 30 year old young man with cystic fibrosis who recently had a lung transplant and Cyndi Frank has Gaucher disease and will talk to you about living with Gaucher disease and how it is managed and the impact on her life. Each person will tell their story and there will be time for a discussion with the panel who will be happy to answer the questions >from the audience. Faciliators of this panel will be Gary Frohlich, MS, CGC and Adele Schneider, MD, FACMG. This program is made possible by an educational grant >from Genzyme Corporation.

Happily, quite a large number of new books and entries were added and notably, a new Translation project has been added this month for Dej, Romania (Des, Hungary) and we are looking for financial support of this project in order to allow those of you with roots there, to read about the people and thriving culture that existed before the Holocaust. If you feel able to assist in helping to finance this or any of our currently running translation projects at: http://www.jewishgen.org/JewishGen-erosity/v_projectslist.asp?project_cat=23 , your help would be much appreciated. The importance of these funds is clearly illustrated in this month's updates, half of which are projects in our Translations Funds. June also saw the addition of a large number of necrologies which not only immortalize the names of our loved ones but also can provide their family relationships, professions, dates of birth and more or these people. As such, these lists are also an invaluable genealogical resource and to assist in research, the names >from the necrologies are periodically added to the searchable Yizkor Book Necrology Database at: http://www.jewishgen.org/databases/yizkor/ These days, this important but time-taking work of adding to the database is carried out by Max Heffler, who also carries out a myriad of other tasks for JewishGen and elsewhere. I would truly like to spread the heavy load which these days falls heavily on Max's shoulders alone and am eager to hear >from any of you who have some time to help in preparing the lists in Excel which are then added to the database. As far as the June figures go, during this last month we have added these 9 new projects: - Burshtyn, Ukraine (Book of Bursztyn) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Burshtyn/Burshtyn.html - Carpathian Mountains (Youth >from the Carpathian Mountains) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Carpathian_Mountains/Carpathian_Mountains.html or http://tinyurl.com/3qejcy6 [includes Izki, Pilipets, Rostoka and Verkhne-Studenyy in the Ukraine] - Dej, Romania (Des..., Bethlen, Magyarlapos, Retteg, Nagyilonda and vicinity) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/dej/dej.html - Kremenets', Ukraine (Voice of Kremenets Emigrants in Israel and the Diaspora - Booklet 10) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/kremenets1/Kre1_1000.html - Kremenets', Ukraine (Voice of Kremenets Emigrants in Israel and the Diaspora - Booklet 16) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/kremenets1/Kre1_1600.html - Kremenets', Ukraine (Voice of Kremenets Emigrants in Israel and the Diaspora - Booklet 17) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/kremenets1/Kre1_1700.html - Kremenets', Ukraine (Voice of Kremenets Emigrants in Israel and the Diaspora - Booklet 18) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/kremenets1/Kre1_1800.html - Murska Sobota, Slovenia (They Died in the Fight for Freedom) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Murska_Sobota/Murska_Sobota.html - Nyiregyhaza, Hungary (Jewish Life in Nyiregyhaza) http://www.jewishgen.org/Yizkor/Nyiregyhaza/Nyiregyhaza.html Added in 27 new entries: - Aukshtadvaris, Lithuania (Lite) http://www.jewishgen.org/Yizkor/lita/lit1869.html - Bad Nauheim, Germany (Pinkas Germany) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Pinkas_germany/ger3_00084.html - Haradok (Horodok), Belarus (Encyclopedia of Jewish Communities in Poland, Volume VIII) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/pinkas_poland/pol8_00229.html - Komyan, Lithuania (Encyclopedia of Jewish Communities: Lithuania) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Pinkas_Lita/lit_00561.html - Katiliske, Lithuania (Encyclopedia of Jewish Communities: Lithuania) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Pinkas_Lita/lit_00559.html - Kietaviskes, Lithuania (Encyclopedia of Jewish Communities: Lithuania) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Pinkas_Lita/lit_00559b.html - Kriukai, Lithuania (Encyclopedia of Jewish Communities: Lithuania) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Pinkas_Lita/lit_00616.html - Krincinas, Lithuania (Encyclopedia of Jewish Communities: Lithuania) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Pinkas_Lita/lit_00621d.html - Krivlyan, Lithuania (Encyclopedia of Jewish Communities: Lithuania) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Pinkas_Lita/lit_00621e.html - Kulbes, Lithuania (Encyclopedia of Jewish Communities: Lithuania) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Pinkas_Lita/lit_00561b.html - Kuliai, Lithuania (Encyclopedia of Jewish Communities: Lithuania) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Pinkas_Lita/lit_00559c.html - Kursenai, Lithuania (Protecting Our Litvak Heritage) http://www.jewishgen.org/Yizkor/lithuania6/lit6_108.html - Laizuva, Lithuania (Protecting Our Litvak Heritage) http://www.jewishgen.org/Yizkor/lithuania6/lit6_130.html - Laukuva, Lithuania (Protecting Our Litvak Heritage) http://www.jewishgen.org/Yizkor/lithuania6/lit6_135.html - Liudvinavas, Lithuania (Protecting Our Litvak Heritage) http://www.jewishgen.org/Yizkor/lithuania6/lit6_147.html - Lucinava (Marijampole), Lithuania (Encyclopedia of Jewish Communities: Lithuania) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Pinkas_Lita/lit_00346b.html - Lucinava (Raseiniai), Lithuania (Encyclopedia of Jewish Communities: Lithuania) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Pinkas_Lita/lit_00346c.html - Luksiai, Lithuania (Encyclopedia of Jewish Communities: Lithuania) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Pinkas_Lita/lit_00348.html - Luoke, Lithuania (Protecting Our Litvak Heritage) http://www.jewishgen.org/Yizkor/lithuania6/lit6_152.html - Lyduvenai, Lithuania (Encyclopedia of Jewish Communities: Lithuania) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Pinkas_Lita/lit_00354.html - Miroslavas, Lithuania (Protecting Our Litvak Heritage) http://www.jewishgen.org/Yizkor/lithuania6/lit6_161.html - Nacioniskis, Lithuania (Encyclopedia of Jewish Communities: Lithuania) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Pinkas_Lita/lit_00410.html - Nakan, Lithuania (Encyclopedia of Jewish Communities: Lithuania) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Pinkas_Lita/lit_00410b.html - Narikishok, Lithuania (Encyclopedia of Jewish Communities: Lithuania) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Pinkas_Lita/lit_00410c.html - Naujamiestis, Lithuania (Encyclopedia of Jewish Communities: Lithuania) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Pinkas_Lita/lit_00401.html - Sobrance, Slovakia (Encyclopedia of Jewish Communities: Slovakia) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/pinkas_slovakia/slo368.html - Warszawa, Poland (Jewish Warsaw that was;
