Found something that might help. Under coins, found this listed for the 1800s: 30 Groszy = 15 Russian Kopeks = 1 Zloty = 10 Zlotych = 1.5 Rubles. Then in 1916 the Germans released a 1,2, and 3 Kopek coin for use in the Baltic States, Poland, and northwest Russia. Then it looks like 1917-1919 had Fenigs and Marks (1 Fenig, 5,10,20 Fenigow coins). Under currency, found the following: 1 Polish Marka = 100 Fenigow (to 1919) My book starts with Zloty & Groszy in 1794. There are Talar / Talarow in 1810. 1824-1830 shows Zlotych. 1830-1866 shows Zlotych and Rubel (their spelling). Then the Marks show up in 1916 (actually 1917). German Occupation WW I currency authorized 9/12/1916 (notes dated 1917): 1/2 Marki 1 Marka 2 Marki 5, 10, 20, 50, 100, 1000 Marek Republic Issues (Polish State Loan Bank) 1919: 500, 1000 Marek 1 Marka 5, 20 ,100 Marek Then later, 1 Marka 5, 10, 20, 100, 500, 1000, 5000 Marek 1/2 Marki Inflation Issues 1922: 10,000; 50,000; 100,000; 250,000; 500,000, 1 Million, 5, 10, 50, and 100 Million Marek (I'd hate to be holding 10 Marek notes in 1922 !) Then from 1923-24 it looks like everything goes back to Groszy & Zloty/Zlotych up to today. (100 Groszy = 1 Zloty in coins shows up for the first time in 1923). About the Mr. Tymczuk's note - found the 1000 Marek note (and a photo of it) in the book. It was apparently issued under/by "Polska Krajowa Kasa Pozyczkowa." The present market value of that note ranges from 25 cents to $1.50 (for collectors). But that doesn't mean much since supply & demand of collectibles plays such a big part. Only mention this because some notes are listed as having a value of hundreds to thousands of dollars (to collectors). Actually, that may point to the relative value of the money at that time. Was thinking that it's so hard to put an "equivalent value" on money at times when the currency was so unstable (i.e., what does $100 buy in North Dakota compared to $100 in new York City, before or after a jump in inflation?) However, if the value of a collectible note = scarcity (e.g., it would be easy to find a 1, 5, 10, or 20 dollar bill in someones wallet, less common to find a $50 or $100, and very rare to find anything higher), then: 1917 - notes up to 10 Marek were common / 20, 50, and 100 were less common / 1000 Marek more rare. 1919 - 1920 - in the beginning of the year 500 Marek was less common, then afterwards everything up to 5000 Marek is very common. 1922 - notes up to 500,000 Marek were common / 1-10 Million Marek less common / 50 and 100 Million Marek were rare/very rare. Maybe this will add a little more to the picture. Cheri

To everyone who responded to the meaning of "Tatinek", many thanks. General consensus on this one is that it is the English equivalent of "Daddy". I had never seen this before and it never occurred to me to look it up in a dictionary. Thnaks again, Ron Mlejnek

the reason you get spam etc on this list as well as GenIre and any others gatewayed with a newsgroup is that _it is an open list_ and anyone can post to it, and spammers and others take advantage of it. I own two lists for Irish research and both are "closed" lists , as are most rootsweb lists for just that reason, you don't get spammed (as only subscribers can post and receive messages) and you don't get a lot of , shall we be kind and say unstable, people just coming on to start trouble. This is why I rarely post to GenIre or GenSlavic --- because another feature of this is that spammers read these newsgroups and collect email addresses of people and add them to databases to send to. I have had this new address for 2 months, never got any spam until I posted once to GenSlavic. Now I get them. There is nothing a moderator or anyone can do about it, any list gatewayed with a newsgroup has this issue. The best thing you can do is don't respond to the emails, just hit delete. The other thing is join another of the Eastern European lists that are "closed" like Hungary or German-Bohemian and search there. I have gotten a lot of help by people on GenSlavic but this issue has caused me to be very unactive on the list. It's just a by-product of being gatewayed with a newsgroup....

Don't answer it and delete it. All lists suffer from occasional spam. I am not sure all lists are monitored. Doug G. Storie wrote: > Why are we being bombarded by SPAM on this list? Do the moderators pay > attention? I'm being solicited to borrow money.

Why are we being bombarded by SPAM on this list? Do the moderators pay attention? I'm being solicited to borrow money.

"Unsubscribe"

I use Netscape and have never experienced the problem. Please tell the list what program you are using and perhaps someone can help you. And, you are definitely talking about list mail, not newsgroup mail? You cannot delete newsgroup mail. It remains in place for a certain number of days and then is replaced by more current newsgroup postings. But you can mark those posts as "read." Please let the list know more so they can help.

I have a 1000 Marek (Mark) note with the date: Warszawa, Dnia 23, sierpnia 1919 roku (August 23, 1919). I have no idea as to how many Zlotych made a Marek. All of my attempts at resolving this have been in vain. If you are curious as to what a Marek note looked like, I can scan the one that I have and send you a .JPG. The note is quite large, measuring 21.35 cm by 13.6 cm (8 3/8" x 5 3/8").

I have a very small, black and white, gravesite photograph taken in the Czech Republic. On one corner of the gravestone there appears to be the word "Tatinek" or "Tatinew". I have tried image enhancement on the computer to get a clearer view of the word, but this is the best I can do right now. Could "Tatinek" possibly be a Slavic first name? Last name? Or?. Under this word, there appears to be a birth date and a death date, but these are even less clear. Any suggestions.

I have a copy of the cemetery records for a death that occured in 1906 in a Czech community in eastern Nebraska. I haven't been able to figure out the cause of death and would appreciate any help. The word appears to be: jes'losti most of the letters I'm fairly sure about except the first one which could be an "s" or a "t". Thanks in advance for your help.

However feel free to ask me, if you're looking for a town or village and need its postal code. I have a Czech atlas which shows these. It includes Slovakia as well. But it doesn't give multiple postal codes for big cities which have more than one. -- Gary N. Deckant [email protected] Youngstown, Ohio
