Thanks. Do you know what information you need to get someone's naturalization papers? Do you have to know the year or what? Diana ---------- From: Joanne[SMTP:tjk@CSRLINK.NET] Sent: Monday, March 17, 1997 11:37 AM To: GEN-SLAVIC@MAIL.EWORLD.COM Subject: Naturalization records. This is in response to several questions in the past concerning the process of naturalization. It is taken from the March 1997 issue of Nas~e Rodina, the newsletter of The Czechoslovak Genealogical Society International: .....An act of 29 January 1795, replacing the first act of 1790, required that a declaration of intention be filed three years before admission as a citizen, and residence of five years in the United States and one in the state where the naturalization took place..... .....Since 1790 children under the age of twenty-two years have become citizens automatically by naturalization of the parent. Until 1922, a wife became naturalized upon the citizenship conferred her husband, and no separate filings were necessary. After an act of 22 September 1922 a married woman had to be naturalized on her own.....

Minorities were also taken prisoner - such as the Slavic Tribe called Sorbs/Wends of East Germany.

I'm researching the surname Vuksta. My father, George A. Vuksta was born in 1920 in Velykyy Bereznyy. This town is on the extreme western Ukraine border with Slovakia about 20 miles north of Uzhhorod. Is anyone familiar with this surname? Is it common? What does it mean? Thank you. Chris Vuxton

Hi, You mentioned that the Kaiser Wilhelm II came into Phily... but the Morton Allen directory says it came from Bremen to NYC (May 21, 1913). Just on the off chance that you were looking in the wrong passenger list.... Good luck, Steve Pinkoski

I have been doing a one name study of SCHLOSSMAN. I have thousands of Schlossmans in my research, with only 5 belonging to me. My Schlossman line is from the PODOLIA region of Russia, now the Ukraine. Harry SCHLOSSMAN (1895-1948) immigrated to the US in the early 1900s. Probably through New York and settled in the Bronx. He later married Pauline BREITMAN (1893-1973), also from PODOLIA. I have no evidence of either person in the NY Passenger lists. The only reference to PODOLIA is from their US marriage certificate. Any help is appreciated. PLEASE NOTE: I am NOT subscribed to this mailinglist/newsgroup. In an attempt not to have my email address raped by some spammer, PLEASE remove the Xs from my return address when replying. ...steven schlossm@Xnetrail.Xnet ~ ~

NEW STEAMSHIP CONSULTANTS E-MAIL: catalogs@pobox.com A number of people interested in Genealogy may be interested in items from specific ships that their ancestors traveled on. You can request our free catalogs of Ocean Liner Memorabilia. New Steamship Consultants is the World's Largest Dealer of Original Ocean Liner Memorabilia. (Deck Plans, booklets, brochures with photographs, menus, programs, passenger lists, photos, post cards, etc...) We carry items from the beginnings of Trans Oceanic steamship travel over 100 years ago, through the golden age of Ocean Liners (1920s-1930s) up to the present era. We should state here that we have No Research available, and would not be able to help you obtain any information about any particular ocean voyage. We also cannot supply ship histories and do not have any database of passenger names to help find out when your ancestors may have traveled. If you are interested in acquiring an Original piece of memorabilia from the ship that your are researching; please send us an E-Mail at catalogs@pobox.com and request a copy of our most recent catalogs. These free catalogs can only be sent to you by return E-Mail, we cannot send out free printed catalogs, Please keep in mind that it is extremely unlikely that you will ever see anything from the particular voyage that you have in mind, but you may be able to own a piece of history from that ship or shipping company that an ancestor traveled on. So while it may not be the correct voyage or even the exact year, it really is possible for you to acquire something to treasure. The free catalog lists a great many items, but we have many, many more that are not listed on our catalogs at present. If you send us an E-Mail stating the name of the ship you are interested in we can send you free of charge by e-mail a quote of memorabilia available from those ships. It would be most helpful to us if you could tell us which newsgroup you saw our posting in. We have been in the Ocean Liner Memorabilia business since 1968 We serve customers in all states and over 30 countries.

Sorry for the cryptic posting. This was intended to be a reply for the person looking for a copy of the book, They Came in Ships. Vince Siecinski

Can anyone give me some information on Zlata Bana (Gold Mine) which is S.E. of Presov. Also nearby are towns of Zlatnik and Cervenica. I believe that there were well known Opal mines in the same general area at one time. The major famous gold mines were located to the west and to the south in Transylvania. I am seeking information on the surnames of emmigrant families who came to this area , especially those from other counties such as Germany, France, Belgium, Italy and Spain. John Bugosh Venice, FL

Some of them Anglicized their name to "Huxta", believe it or not. This is in eastern Pennsylvania (hard coal region originally) I'm talking about.

Surname: SHURGALLA My grandfather told me before he died that his family came from Galicia. So far I have been unable to trace this name. I suspect the spelling was Americanized and that it was originally something like perhaps Czabala. Are there any experts out there who can suggest if I am on the right track or suggest other slavic surnames that Shurgalla might have been derived from? Recently someone told me he knew of a Czech actress in Germany with this name. Can anyone confirm?

Although the numbers are being reexamined even as we speak, the total number of Jews in Europe in 1939 has been variously reported as 9 million, 10 million, or 11 million (the last number was determined in 1942 by the Nazis themselves at the Wannsee Conference). Based on these numbers, what would be your guess?

To:jrp@enter.net rneil@ciaccess.com From:Bulgaria Dear Joe, Dear Robert Thank you for paying attention to my E-mail. Sincerely: Nikola Charakchiev ncharak@tu-plovdiv.bg

I am interested in learning more about my Stodolny family background. My grandparents' names were Bolislav and Regina, and lived in South Bend, IN after imigrating from Poland in the early 1920's. They and many other immigrants were employees of Studabaker Car Manufacturers and Bendix Coorporation. E-mail address: Ritterjen@aol.com I am very interested in knowing more about the Stodonly name/history and if I have any any relatives alive in U.S. / Europe.
