Hi Everyone, Struggling here a bit. Working on my family tree and trying to find more information on births/marriages of the 'Kamenetsky' side of the family. Primarily the 6 kids, one of whom was my g

Eliat, I am having an equally hard time finding birth records, etc. However according to JewishGen, it was Russia when your relatives were born - it became Poland after - basically between WW1 and WW2

Hello, I previously posted a help request for Dolginovo trying to find some great aunts/uncles, no such luck. I believe that two of the siblings Yaakov Kamenetsky (famous rabbi who moved to America) a

Received a very kind email from someone who explained what Kaliskovkeh was. It was actually a large estate, a folwark specifically and it was largely dismantled by the Russian Czar somewhere around 19

Hi everyone, Now that I got the birth places sorted, I am hoping to find census information on great-grandparents and their siblings. They were all born between 1885-1905ish. All were born either in D
