Again, Michelle, you have provided me with helpful insight and information. I have taken a look at Sherlock Cohn's website and will definitely send her copies of the photos and the surrounding stories

This is extremely useful, Michelle, and much appreciated. I will post the photographs on the Facebook group, as you suggest. The backstory to my great-grandmother is complicated, so dating the photos

I have two undated formal studio photos of my great-grandmother, one taken in Warsaw and one in Liverpool. I am struggling to make sense of them from the age she looks in them vis a vis when I underst

Unfortunately, I don't know where in Poland (other than Russian Poland on the census) my BARNETT family came from. However, my father's much younger, now octogenarian, first cousin and sole living fam

I have not yet done any deep research on the BARNETT branch of my family (my grandmother was a Barnett). The first Barnett I am aware of who emigrated from Russia/Poland is JOSEPH BARNETT around 1822.

Very kind of you, Kathryn, to take the time to look through the book. I have come across a couple of places where it is for sale at a hefty price! Even though the Clarke family is not mentioned, unles

This is a very rare book by Philip Ettinger. I don't know its format, so I don't know how easy or how difficult it might be for someone who has a copy to research a name for me? I understand it has a

My Polish great-grandfather was in the Russian army and died or was killed around the time his son (my grandfather) was born, so 1880 to 1883. Nobody knows his first name nor am I certain how he spelt

If anyone happens to know anything about any of those named below, I would be very grateful if you would contact me. I believe the first of the CLARKES in S. Africa were MAX and ESTHER (nee LANDSBERG)

My great-grandfather died or was killed while in the army (would have been in Russian army most likely if he was a RUSSIAN POLE, as was his wife). This would have been between 1880 and 1883. Nobody kn

I have two 1896 UK Naturalization Certificates of Polish ancestors who were naturalized with anglicised names only. That I understand. What throws me is that these documents that require also parents'

Simply put, does anyone know if STEIGLITZ/STIEGLITZ, while sounding more like a German name from Galicia, was also a name that could have come from Russian Poland? Or would it have had to have been SZ

This is my first post; hope I'm doing it right! Per 1896 UK Naturalization Certificate of MAX CLARKE, his parents, who would be my great-great-grandparents, were MARKS/MATTHEW and ZLATO/LOTTIE CLARKE.
