I am working on my family ancestry tree. My grand father and great grandfather were from Istanbul or Constantinople but can't trace the family any further back. If you have any information about the Navon family please send me links or information.

Hi, I recently discovered that one of my ancestors, called Stella Calamaro, may have come from some jewish family, maybe in the Corfu island. Are you aware of such a Calamaro family? I strongly think she may have some "Riso Calmaro" as her grand-father. Are you aware of him? Regards, -- Thomas Baruchel

Sorry, I do not know the family.

I am seeking to contact Jews with the surname "Ashkenazi" (or variants of) whose ancestors lived in the Ottoman Empire with family trees and traditions of origins in Spain, and to compare trees for the purpose of finding common ancestors. My tree dates back to the 1700's Ezra E. Ashkenazi

Mr. Binenbaum, I am sorry. I do not have any knowledge about the musician/composer of whom you write. I too am descended of Turkish Jews. Who did you contact in Turkey to obtain vital records? Please let me know. It may help my own family research. Thanks. Angelo A.

My name is Larry BINENBAUM and I am looking for any information about Janko BINENBAUM, the renowned Turkish musician, famous opera conductor and composer of many songs and choruses.   He was born on December 28, 1880 in Edirne, Ottoman Empire (formerly Adrianople, a vilayet of European Turkey) and which is today Edirne, Turkey. Around the time of his birth there were about 15,000 Jewish people living in Edirne. This town is very close to the borders with Greece and Bulgaria (only several kilometers away).   He studied in Munich and worked as an opera conductor in Regensburg, Hamburg and Berlin. He composed an opera, a ballet, three symphonies, two overtures, two violin concertos, chamber works and many songs and choruses. He died on February 4, 1956 in Chevreuse (an area south of Paris), France. Since there is a chance that I am related to Janko BINENBAUM, I am looking for any information about his father, siblings, wife or children.   This person is being researched by Larry BINENBAUM living in Los Angeles, California, United States.  Larry BINENBAUM Los Angeles, California, United States E-mail: Binenbaum@ymail.com BINENBAUM SURNAME WEB SITE: http://www.binenbaum.org/ Researching the Surname BINENBAUM and every derivation of the BINENBAUM surname, living or deceased, in every country of the world.

Hi Miriam, You wrote: > This Jewish family came from Urla, near Izmir. > Any info? > And anyone who knows how to find info from Urla, > please share with me. --------> You should contact all those researching their families in Urla via the Family Finder of the JewishGen. The Jewish community of Urla was very small and I believe there were many marriage links between the families. Good luck! Mathilde A.Tagger Jerusalem

This Jewish family came from Urla, near Izmir. Any info? And anyone who knows how to find info from Urla, please share with me. Miriam Margolyes email; 75342.3217@compuserve.com New York

I seek the family AMIEL from Urla, near Izmir (Smyrna) in Turkey. Many survive today in Sweden, UK, US & S Africa. If you know of this family, please contact me. Miriam Margolyes NYC

Good morning, I am searching for my family roots. My grandparents came from a town which at the time was located in Austria Hungary, then it was occupied by Ukraine and now it is part of Romania ( I could be wrong as to which country held it at which time). It has been a difficult search for me even though the family name is not a very common name, the name is GREIF. I did find a number of GREIF's buried in Istanbul, Turkey and was hoping that someone on this list would recognize the name and help me in my search. Any and all information would be gratefully accepted. Good luck to all of us on our searches.
