Marriage records from Nancy, France #france
David
I am descended maternally from the GEWELBE family from Warsaw. My third great-grandfather was https://www.geni.com/people/Jak%C3%B3b-Gewelbe/6000000062596309836 As is well known, many records are missing on JRI-Poland. I have written to the USA Holocaust museum as Jacques perished in the Holocaust, being on a transport from France to Aushwitz. There is a memorial for him, and also I have papers from the museum attesting to the above narrative, but so far have not been able to obtain names of Jacob/Jacques' parents. Am also being helped along by the organization:- The Emanuel Ringelblum Jewish Historical Institute Jewish Genealogy & Family Heritage Center ul. Tłomackie 3/5, Warsaw, Poland phone: +4822 828 5962 email: <familyheritage@...> Facebook: Jewish Genealogy at JHIWebsite: Genealogy Center of ŻIH but, so far, they do not have this specific information. I am not sure how much the Jewish community in Basel can help me with this, especially as only his wife and son actually lived in Basel before the War, and he continued to live in Nancy, no doubt supporting his family from there.

Thank you very much for your help (also to someone who replied off list). Actually I made a mistake when I presented the marriage date. It was 1933 and not as I said. To be precise 4th Dec 1933 (or actually 2nd Dec according to the index there). In any case I succeeded in finding both the index and the record. It was helpful for my search that it was towards the end of the year because to go through more than 1000 records, with 6 records on a page and all the time having to adjust the resolution could have otherwise taken me all night. Would there have been an easier way to go to the record? Apart from the names and the date, the index doesn't give any more information. Anyway, my issue has been resolved, and on the record it made it almost very clear that his father was my great-grandfather - just the a small switch around of the names. I.e instead of Shlomo Ephraim he wrote Ephraim Shlomo (using Polish spelling). Also it appears this way on a record in JRI Poland, and that was the name of his maternal grandfather after whom he was no doubt named.

French archives are actually very easy and a pleasure to search :). Here, I found the record of marriage of Gewelbe in Nancy in 1933 (see attached, bottom left). That's the table of marriages. I will now attempt to find the full record.

It's generally easier to search french archives in a different way: First find the name in the 'tables', then confirm the date, then use the date and the name to find the actual record.

Understand. That makes sense. I think my issue is that I dropped out of school French... Just couldn't see where I could put the name in the search engine for the Nancy archives. David
