Ann, K-R is King's Regulations as you can see here. "In 2007 The National Archives released the first group of digitised records from series WO364. This series is usually claimed to be records of men who received a War Pension. This is not the case and a very high proportion of the files relate to men who did not have pension qualification. Many files relate to men who's Army service covered only a few weeks or months and were discharged under King's Regulations 392 (III) as "unlikely to become an efficient soldier" or (XVI) "No longer physically fit for service" or under the similar Territorial Force Regulation 156 (II). This often related to a prior condition that did not result in a pension." Hope it helps John Simmons

The book is all from diaries and memoirs. It looks very interesting. In the preface, it says, "Among the great tragedies that befell Poland during World War II was the forced deportation of its citizens by the Soviet Union during the first Soviet occupation of that country from 1939 to 1941. This is the story of that brutal Soviet ethnic cleansing campaign told in the words of a few of the survivors..." The author's email address is: [email protected] I wrote him a note.

I think the Dutch money would be a clue that the camp was indeed in the Dutch East Indies, in fact Nederlands Indië or just called Indië. That is also what Susan is hinting at. I suppose the translation of the letters in Polish would further explain the situation.

Was the letter sent from somewhere near Calcutta? There were refugee camps on the Burmese/India border processing the ones who survived the Burma Trek. Otherwise there were many Japanese internment camps, including those in the Dutch East Indies. Perhaps she was there rather than India.

Hi everybody, I am searching the descendants of Rav Isaac Goldich, the Dayan of Manchester, that died 1987 at the age of 8o. I was told that he claimed to be adirect descendant of the Baal Shem Tov and I want to find out how, because in our Goldich family (that came from a place near Kiev to Chicago and  now mostly in Israel) there is a legend that once a man came to my husband's grandfather, Menachem Nahum Goldich and told him that he is the 8th generation to the Baal Shem Tov. He promised to  bring some evidences but never came back. this ggfather of us was a Skvira Hasid in Europe and emigrated to U.S in 1922. Maybe one of the descendants of Rav Issac Goldich knows how is their connection to the Baal Shem Tov and we can learn something about our connection. The name can be also spelled Golditch.Your help is appreciated. thanks - Efrat Goldich

Dear All, Some updates have been done to our website www.british-jewry.org.uk today. The surnames list has been updated at http://www.british-jewry.org.uk/surnames1.html (please scroll down and click the download button to get the most up to date excel spreadsheet). We are also pleased to announce the donation, by Henry Roche of his revised Plymouth Circumcisions Register article, complete with surname index at the end. See http://www.british-jewry.org.uk/PCR.php We are still searching for a reliable person to help with the technical aspects of the website. You need knowledge of HTML, PHP and CSS files. The support we need is more advisory than actually doing anything and would be occasional and usually very short-lived (couple of emails each way). The post is unrenumerated but you would have our gratitude and that of every one of our list members. If you can help please contact Sherry off-list. Thanks and enjoy the updates, Sherry & Jackye NB Please remember if you wish to reply to this email, remove the word ADMIN from the subject line before hitting send-thanks :-)

Is anyone researching the CAPADOSE family? In the collection I'm currently cataloguing, I've come across photographs of Dr Isaac Capadose (c1834-1920) and his wife Esther who lived in Albury, Surrey. Dr Capadose, whose father Abraham was a Jewish convert to Christianity, became a minister of the Catholic Apostolic church in Albury in the 1870s. I've found a number of references on t'Internet but thought I'd mention this in case anyone was researching the family.
