I am a newby here, but just have to throw in my two cents worth recommendation for the Odessa Digital Library. I was absolutely stunned to find my great-grandmother's birth record there yesterday. Rifke STADTMANN was born in 1882 in Tarnapol, Galicia, Ukraine to Ruchel Lea STADTMAN. She grew up to marry her cousin Moshe EINBINDER sometime around the turn of the century. Three daughters were born in Russia/Poland/Austria-Hungary: Goldie, Henrietta Rosa, and Rachel. Now that I know Rifke's mother's name, and see that it matches her third daughter's, I feel safe dating Ruchel's death to the years between Henrietta Rosa's birth and Rachel's, as Rifke would certainly have followed the tradition of naming only after the dead. Moshe was sent to serve in the Czar's army, but he was helped to escape by the camp doctor, who worried about Moshe losing weight (and he was a slight man to begin with!) because he was trying to keep kosher. He walked to Germany, where he worked to save money for passage for himself, Rifke, and their daughters to join other cousins who had already left for America. After a while, Rifke worried a little that Moshe had forgotten them. She made noodles to sell and saved enough money to have a photograph taken of herself and the girls. She had lost so much weight that she padded herself under her dress so she wouldn't look so thin. Off the picture went, and shortly thereafter Moshe sent for them. They arrived in Baltimore in October 1910. Their names became Moses (or sometimes Morris) and Rebecca Einbinder. Rebecca's sister and brother came (not sure whether before or after or at the same time), and their American name became STUTMAN. Three more children were born to Moses and Rebecca, first son Bernard in 1911, then daughter Pauline (my grandmother) in 1913, and finally another daughter Ida (not sure the year). They stayed in Baltimore until at least 1920, when they filed their requests for citizenship. They moved to Philadelphia for part of the 1920s, before finally settling in Washington DC in the 1930s. They adapted to their new country pretty well, although Rebecca stayed more comfortable with Yiddish than English. During Prohibition, Morris ran a bathtub still and Rebecca was the runner--taking their homemade brew to the speak-easy to sell!. Who would suspect this little Jewish woman of carrying illegal brew?! Moses smoked heavily, but never on the Sabbath. Not smoking made this otherwise gentle and loving man very irritable, so he stayed out late on Friday nights. Years working as a candler and smoking were hard on Moses' health, and he, now a beloved Zadye, died 7/7/1942. Rebecca lived another 24 years, living with daughters Rose or Goldie, and died a very much beloved Bubbye in 1966. I'm happy to say I got to spend some time with her after my parents moved back to the DC area in 1962. She was like nobody else I'd ever known, and I only wish I'd had more time with her. Both Moses and Rebecca are buried in Southeast Hebrew Congregation Cemetery in Washington, DC.
