KING Romania?
#romania
First, may I extend my thanks once again for the assistance in tracing my Jewish
familes through their travels >from Romania, to New York (1903), and finally to Canada (1918). I have several new leads, and some things are beginning to fall into place. As my search for the Jurist and Greenberg families of Romania progresses, I have noticed that these folks always refer to their homeland as "KING Romania" or sometimes "KING Roumania". Is there some significance to the upper case "KING" that I am unaware of? Would this perhaps help me locate a town or area of origin? Barry J. Fellner, II Columbus, OH

Spiwak passport for trip to Romania
Dear Patricia, Another kind person >from the Rom-Sig (Stefan Mireuta) helped with the name of the crossing into Romania mentioned in your passport. The historical name of the entrance point was called Grigore Ghica Voda and the current name in Ukraine is Nepolokivtsi and in Romanian was Nepolocăuţi. At the time of travel Bukovina, the part of Ukraine where the cross point is, was part of Romania. Best, Mihai Grunfeld Acting Chair Department of Hispanic Studies Vassar College

List of Borisov Jewish victims of Stalinist purges 1937-8
#belarus
Anne Bobroff-Hajal
To clarify: I should have said that Barysaw (not Borisov)is the name
used for the JewishGen SIG. Borisov is the same city as Barysaw, and is the name used in the website I provided the link to, http://rpp.nm.ru/gulag/gulag.html. I've since realized this website, http://rpp.nm.ru, has a number of other lists as well, of Borisov/Barysaw Jewish cemetery names, Borisov/Barysaw Holocaust victims, and others. At least some of these lists were also published in a book by the indefatigable website owner, Aleksandr Rosenblyum, Pamiat' na krovi: Evrei v istorii Borisova (Memory in Blood: Jews in the History of Borisov), Petakh Tykva, Israel, 1998. A scholarly review of the book was reprinted on JewishGen http://www.jewishgen.org/Belarus/newsletter/BorisovReview.htm. As noted by the reviewer, "Since it lacks an academic apparatus, the work can not be considered scientific." The website, though, draws on many sources, and contains a massive amount of information that, together with other sources is, I feel, invaluable (I am a PhD. in Russian history as well as an artist). Anne Bobroff-Hajal White Plains, NY 10605 USA ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Anne Bobroff-Hajal <abobroffhajal@gmail.com> Date: Mon, Aug 9, 2010 at 1:30 PM Subject: List of Borisov Jewish victims of Stalinist purges 1937-8 To: belarus@lyris.jewishgen.org If members of the Borisov SIG are not already aware of it, I'd like to alert them to an online list I just found of Borisov Jewish victims of Stalin's purges in 1937-8. Many of the entries include photos of the victim, along with some information about them, the (of course false) charges against them, and their fate (e. g. sentenced for so many years, shot, etc).

I've been using Xoom, which, for a $5 charge, allows you to make
payments (of a $25 minimum) >from your checking account to recipients in Poland. That costs a lot less than a wire transfer. Because each record typically costs less than a dollar (if you've identified it by archive, year, and akt number), the $25 minimum gives you an incentive to order other records >from the archive that might be of interest. Jeff Wexler Los Angeles ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Subject: Polish Archives question From: "Alise Kermisch" <warmund@aol.com> Date: Mon, 9 Aug 2010 12:48:36 -0700 X-Message-Number: 1 I am getting ready to submit requests to several archives - does anyone know if the archives will accept payment in any other form other than a wire transfer? (such as paypal for example) In this day and age of electronic banking it seems so silly that there would be no other way to pay for the services. Has anyone ever tried contacting the archives to ask? (I don't speak Polish or I would try myself) Thanks in advance, Alise Kermisch

Alise Kermisch asked if the Polish archives accept payment in any form
other than a wire transfer? I live in the United States and always use Western Union, which is less expensive than a wire transfer (or international money order, for that matter) but just as efficient and acceptable - by the Polish authorities. The only possible drawback is that Western Union won't handle the money transfer unless you provide the name as well as the address of the archive director (or person requesting payment) at the archive - so be prepared!

They are unwilling to be flexible. But, some archive's banks are near Western Unions. Western Union will deposit the funds for you at the = bank in that case. Marla Cohen

Has anyone ever tried contacting the archives to ask? (I don't speak Polish or I would try myself). I tried last year - both directly (>from me in English) and also via a person in Poland to request an alternative method of payment to the Lodz archive (AGAD) for a series of papers related to my grandparents. The AGAD advised then that they had only one method of payment acceptable to them and that was by wire transfer. The cost of the copied papers and postage was 9 Euros but the wire transfer fee was 20 Euros; plus the inevitable quite long delay for payment verification etc. So unless they have changed their policy in the last year 'wire transfer it must be'. regards Martin Davis - London (UK)
