Is there a way to say "Stacey" in Croatian? Thanks!! Paul

Would someone please tell me how to say: "Little Mother" and then "All of our love" in Croatian? Thank you so much, and a blessed Easter to you all!!

>> The way I prefer is to use the keyboard rather that flipping back and forth between a small Windows utility called, CHARACTER MAP. << Another method I've recommended to people in the past is to create a small document with *all* the characters. Each time you open a new document, paste that small bit of text into the top, header, or footer. Then, when you need a diacritical character, simply cut and past it from the "reference block." This is a step better than CHARMAP because it provides locality of reference. But if you use diacriticals frequently then it benefits you to learn the keystroke combinations. Mac users: PopChar will effortlessly drop a character wherever your cursor is.

They usually have alot of back copies and indexes of Avotaynu (the Jewish genealogy publisher), which publishes a journal. The journal has alot of articles on related subjects, one of which may answer your questions. Hope this helps. Bonnie Cieslukowski Weissman MD

Hello All, I apologize for the general nature of my question, but I have had difficulty trying to translate two words, which I believe are descriptions, which appear in a "pedigree" I recently received from the Archives in Bratislava, Slovakia. The words are: zeliar domkar I would appreciate assistance from a person in the know. Thanks very much. - HOWARD HUJSA ZDHZ59A@prodigy.com

To put someone down for asking for the meaning of what you do not understand isn't right -- they didn't either that is why they asked the question. Not everyone is going to know that answer to all questions. I don't, that is how I learn, reading the questions of other people and the answers they are given. Then when I hit the same thing I already know because of someone else's questions. Annie

I'm looking for information on the above surnames. If you have any information at all, please e-mail me at queenlep@wt.net. Thanks. Nikki Quinn

Can anyone tell me about Shtetls? I believe that is the correct spelling. What I want to know is this. One grandfather told us he was from Kiev and the other one is from Odessa. since they were Jewish, is it more likely thew would have been from a shtetl outside of these cities? I have consulted the Jewish genealogy sites and found that there were many of these towns outside the cities. My grandfather's brother was killed by the Cossacks. Surely this would not have happened in a large city???? If they had come from a shtetl, what are the chances of finding their records? I am told that many Rabbis buried the records to save them from the periodic pogroms. I would appreciate as much information as anyone out there can provide. June from CA

The passenger manifests have alot of information on them including birthplaces and villages of orgin. Visit NARA's web site on the net, and it will explain soundex codes to find the necessary indices, as well as what they have available. The local Family History Center sponsored by the Mormons also has pamphlets on how to start your search. I'm a beginner too, but believe me, once you pull up a couple of things, it becomes very exciting and worth the digging! Good luck, Bonnie Cieslukowski Weissman
