5/12/2013 4:26 PM This is Isaac. He was born in Ariogala, Kaunas, Lithuania in about 1880. Arrived in Britain with his parents and a younger brother Reuben (my grandfather) His father was Meer Shmuel MISCHELEVICH and his mother Sarah LAMBE. On the 1891 Census the family are in Leeds, England and Meer is Myer MUSSELOVICH. Birth records show names to have been changed to MUSERLOVITZ, LEVITZ,LEVITT and the 1911 census shows MYERS.
The 1911 census states that there were 12 children, 9 living and 3 having died. The only death I have found is Esther who died in 1900 age 17. The census's show the children as Isaac, Reuben, Esther, Matilda, Jacob, Louis, Sally, Rachel, Hyman/Himon and James. On the back of this picture my mother wrote, 'Isaac my fathers brother, Rochester, New York.' If anyone has any knowledge of this lovely, kind looking man, who looks like my brother, or regarding any of this family, I would love to hear from you. THANK YOU FOR READING!

27270 Translation - Hungarian

5/8/2013 4:44 PM I would be grateful if someone could translate this record that I snipped from the 1869 Hungarian Census for Szenicz/Senica for (Jak) Jakob Beinhacker (born 1790) and wife Johanna (born 1800). I'm unable to decipher Jakob's occupation (center column) and his place of birth (column on right side). Johanna was from Szenicz, that is legible. Jakob's place of birth may be in either a town in Western Slovakia or the Czech Republic, near the Czech border.
With many thanks. 		View the post with its 3 responses

5/8/2013 4:42 PM I need help reading THE TOWN on this marriage certificate of my great Uncle Louis Fogel. I cannot read this town in Galicia. His sister was my grandma (Rose Fogel)who married Jacob Ginsberg. Jacob was born in Baligrod. I was told that the Fogels' lived near Baligrod. The 2 witnesses are: Nathan Felder and Josef Barvo.
on Rose Fogel's marriage certificate her parents are Mose Fogel and Anna Puretz. Chane Puriz is the Yiddish, I assume.
It is obviously to me that the Rabbi Moris Morgenbesser must be related to Annie and his English was horrid! Thanks everyone! 		View the post with its 2 responses
