Help! - about a year ago I pulled some headstone images off the JCR-UK website for various members of my Birmingham Berlyn family including the one for my great, great grandmother Catherine Berlyn who died in 1875. These headstones are all in the Old Witton Cemetery. Unfortunately, I did not record the exact web link and these records seem to have disappeared as I can no longer find them when I do the usual jewishgen database searches. I have the image saved but want the exact www. address for my records. I'm usually really good at keeping these but this is one I missed . Can anyone advise me where to look next? many thanks Caroline Berlyn in the cold & wet Adelaide Hills, South Australia Researching: BERLYN/BERLIJN, Birmingham, London and Holland, COHEN, London, DAVIS, Birmingham & London, ISAACS, London & HART, London.

Is anyone in Hull who could obtain the name of the father off the tombstone for Joseph Newman, which is in the old Hull Hebrew Congregation cemetery? Thanks, Ann Rabinowitz [email protected]
Caroline, we've been noticing problems with JewishGen's UK databases. Some of it seems jumbled up now. This could cause serious problems. People could be translating the wrong headstone images. Wrong fathers could be listed. How can we rely on their UK data?

Dear Brian, Have you tried the Suwalki Lomza Interest Group? Contact Marlene Silverman, Box 228, 3701 Connecticut Avenue NW, Washington DC 20008, USA. CHAKIELSON is a common name from that area which I have seen mentioned several times in Landsmen, its publication (August one now due). Barnett is of course a patronym like Abrahams and Jacobs. One branch of my Servian family (came to Liverpool 1875) emigrated again to Chicago in 1905 and called themselves Max, Marks or Maxwell after ancestor Mordecai Serwianski (translates as Max). Barnett is an Anglicisation of first name Baruch - my Servian great grand uncle changed his name from Baruch Serwianski (born Sejny in Suwalki gubernia) to Barnet Servian (in Liverpool) to Barnet Silverman (in Liverpool also) to Barnet Maxwell (in Chicago). Did your family go to North Wales or South Wales as there is quite a difference? People from Liverpool moved into North Wales (Mold, Flints), as part of my Servian family did so briefly (but returned to Liverpool after a typhus outbreak). But many families moved direct to South Wales on emigration, often to the Swansea area. British celebrity comedian and writer David Baddiel appeared in the first series of BBCs Who Do You Think You Are? and his family came from Swansea. I have Sandler in my family tree married to an outlying Servian branch called Server who came to Sunderland in NE England in early 20th century from Vishtinetz in Suwalki Gubernia, before some also moved to Chicago. The Server émigré was a rabbi in Sunderland. Barnet Servian (mentioned above) married Annie Sanders/Sandys which sometimes became Sandler. He moved to Chicago (with his second wife and adult children) at the same time as the Servers/Sandlers on the same boat and stayed at the same address in Chicago briefly. Jill Whitehead, Surrey

Dear All Is anybody researching a HANDS family that were originally Jewish with links to HONEYMAN, MEYERS and CURRELL. Thanks Naomi Ogin Brisbane
It means he did not die as a result of the war (directly or indirectly). So, you can safely search post 1939 for a death in UK (or elsewhere) if you want.

Am trying to help a young researcher. Does anyone have the following family on a family tree? Abraham EMANUEL [Abraham {Desc from a Privd Member) ben Menachem Menke] born 30 January 1814 London, died 1907 Melbourne, possibly a music professor, and wife Elizabeth ABRAHAM [Mata bat Moshe] who married at the Great Synagogue London in May 1836. They may have had two children in England: Abraham and Julia. They went to Australia where they had four known children: Elizabeth born 1842, Isabella (born 1843 who married David Moses DAVIS born in Poland - the researcher is from this branch) and Caroline (1849-1916 who married Emanuel MENDELSSOHN in Melbourne in 1874) and possibly a son Benjamin. According to a well known site, Abraham EMANUEL appears to have been the son of Emanuel EMANUEL, c1780-1856 diamond merchant and possibly Julia Rebecca MYERS who was the wife in the 1841 and 1851 Census lists. Children from these lists included Isabella, Edward, Janette and Louis. Another possible son is Jacob. Keira Lockyer Cold and wet Victoria, Australia.

WW2 records are still closed-you need to be the next of kin or have the next of kin's permission to access those records and the cost and wait is quite high, as records are not computerised. Try CWGC (www.cwgc.org) first for casulties-the information if the person died will be the same as you would get on the death certificate without the cost.

And currently there is a 6 to 8 MONTH wait for WW2 records to be supplied by MOD. I have a letter from them saying they will refund the payment if the wait is too long. Will be lucky to get them by Christmas.

thank you Sheery and Gerry and Linda and Barbara for your suggestions. I searched CWGC - while there is a Bernard Barnett, it is a different guy. so if the person is not on CWGC does that mean he didn't die? >> Ada (aka Alta) & Bernard Barnett were married in 1938 when she was 21 >> and Bernard was 24...Bernard went into the military and went overseas; I >> believe he died or >> was very seriously injured... >> > > Ancestry only has WWI British medal rolls.

Dear All Philip MARKS (Peisel son of Meir H'Levi) was born around 1889 and passed away 31st January, 1963. He is buried at Rainham. There is a birth in Leeds in 1889 using the exact spelling. At that time he had surviving sisters in law and nephews Harry, Alfred, Laurie, Gerald, Alec and Harold, and nieces Millie, Sally, Esta, Lily, Sonia and Frances. I'm not sure if this is the same person who in 1927 was a street trader living at 30 Bacon St, Bethnal Green and related to the LAZARUS, FELDMAN and ORGIN/OGIN families. In 1901 the LAZARUS/FELDMAN side were in Liverpool. By 1913 they were in the East End. Thanks again to Richard Beach for forwarding a photo of his stone. Do the names sound familiar? Thanks Naomi Ogin Brisbane
Dear All Hannah/Annie LEBUS (Hannah Etel daughter of Yakov) was born around 1879 and passed away October, 1960 as Annie TISMAN. In 1911, she and her husband and some of the children were living at 104 Montague Street in the East End of London. They'd also lived in Ashfield Street. Annie lastly lived in Cambridge Heath Road. The surname spelling has also shown as LEBIS. Is anybody searching the LEBUS (sp) name. There was family rumour that Annie was related to Lebus Furniture and Viners Cutlery. I don't know how true that is. I do know that her second oldest child was born in Kovno/Kaunus, the rest of the children were born in the East End. Thanks Naomi Ogin Brisbane
