... but first a word from our coordinator

Members have asked me if there is going to be a gathering ofKielce-Radom SIG members at the AJGS seminar in Los Angeles,July 12-17. Th e answer is "YES!" A meeting of those interestedhas been scheduled for Monday, My 13 , from noon to 1:50 pjn. I twill be the first time we've been able to get together since we firstorganized during the closing moments of the summer seminar inBoston two years ago.

Both Warren Blatt and myself will be there. We'l l want to knowyour thinking about the future of the SIG and the Journal. Wha t areyou most happy with? Wha t would you like to see more of, o rimproved, or added? I t is your feedback and help that keeps thisorganization going. S o come prepared to give us your input

Of course, we will also want to know if YOU can help US. Yo u hearus continually calling for more help to extract materials from theLDS microfilms. W e can't impress you enough of the importance ofthese projects. W e will also want to know what other specialties youmight have to offer our members in allied fields of research...available books and records, translation capabilities, photographs,first-hand experiences , etc.

Which is a perfect lead-in to an urgent request on my part. I amlooking for someone to take over my duties of putting together theJournal each quarter, and eventually someone else to take over ascoordinator, keeping track of membership and finances. Neithe rtask is too difficult, bu t I find that my health and personal mattersneed more of my time.

In putting out the Journal, you would have to be computer literate inword processing with WordPerfect or MS Word. Th e style of theJournal has already been established, so you would follow theseguidelines. Th e content of the Journal is supplied virtually camera-ready. Al l you would have to do is the finishing touches to be readyfor the printer. If you think you might be interested in taking oversome of these duties, or want to know more details, please send mean e-mail or a call me, collect, evenings (407-788-3898).

We have another information-packed issue , beginning with DoloresRing's occupations in Cyrillic along with some sound advice forthose doing Cyrillic translations. Rober t Heyman tells of hisexperiences in working with vital records in the early 1800s , andWarren Blatt reviews what he calls "the most comprehensive workever published on Polish-Jewish genealogy," Plu s many moreinteresting articles and extracts from Radom and Daleszyce.

Read on, enjoy, and increase your genealogical knowledge.

Dolores Lee Ring

This list of Cyrillic occupational words was developed from vital records from the Kielce area,and a list of Polis h occupations in Occupational Definition s b y Lauren B . Eisenberg Davis , withacknowledgements t o Warren Blatt , Michae l Tobias , Mari a Binde r Grebe r an d Alexander Beide r(1:1). Difficultie s i n preparing suc h a list are caused by the change of meanings with time, lack ofuniformity i n spelling, and determining the correct translation for an occupation consisting of morethan one word. Th e starred words are non-occupational terms , which may be used wit h genera loccupations. I want to give special thanks to Alexander Beider , whose suggestions and correctionsmade this list possible.

To The Cyrillitiy Challenged Translato r

When I starte d researchin g vita lstatistics in the Cyrillic era of Poland1,1 washappy jus t t o find th e name s o f ancestors .But as I gained in experience, I wanted moreand realize d tha t th e abilit y t o rea d th eoccupations woul d ad d immensel y t o a nunderstanding o f th e families . O f course ,the origina l meaning s o f th e word s ma yhave changed over the years.

These ar e th e problem s I encountere dand the answers I found! I f you have aske dthe sam e questions , thes e suggestion s ma yhelp you get on the fast track.

Do I Need a Big Dictionary?

A smal l dictionar y i s handy i f you wan tit, but it should not be your only one. Whe nyou are examining dictionaries , look for th efollowing features :

• th e larges t numbe r o f entrie s yo u ca nfind

• obsolet e terms , as those ar e likel y t o b ethe words you are trying to decipher

• multipl e meanings for words• a sectio n o n gramma r an d th e irregula r

forms of words

Why Isn't That Word in the Dictionary?

There are several reasons. Som e word sjust aren' t i n th e dictionar y (lik e Polis hwords that are written in Cyrillic characters),but mos t ar e hidin g out becaus e yo u hav enot correctl y interprete d th e handwriting .Get an d stud y a cop y o f th e handwritin gchart, "Th e Russian Alphabet (with English,Polish, an d Germa n Equivalents)" , whic h

can be found i n ,4 Translation Guide to l$ h-Century Polish-Language Civil-RegistrationDocuments, b y Judith A . Frazin . I t i s ver yeasy t o mis s th e mark tha t i s the differenc ebetween th e Cyrilli c letter s v\, V\, t odistinguish betwee n handwritte n M , H , n, o rto find the hook that is the start of th e lettersn, M. Consider the possibility tha t yo u maynot b e dividin g th e letter s i n th e correc tplace. Tr y alternat e sequence s o f letters .Remember tha t som e symbol s hav e n oequivalent o r are no longer used. Th e clerkmay hav e misspelle d th e word , s o tr ydifferent vowel s o r consonant s tha t hav e asimilar soun d t o plu g int o you r myster yword.

In the end , you might no t find a n entr yfor the exact word, but look at the entry thatis closes t t o th e wor d yo u ar e translating .Note the root part . The n examine th e entr yfor al l the multipl e meanings wit h tha t root .See if adding a common ending, like e p o rHMK wil l mak e th e wor d yo u ar e lookin gfor. Chec k t o se e i f th e differenc e i s agrammatical ending .

Why Am I GettingThese Strange Occupations ?

Templates hav e bee n develope d t o ge tyou' started, bu t the y ar e not a n absolut epattern. Se e Anomalie s i n th e Polis h Vita lRecords (1:4) . I f yo u don' t examin e th estyle, yo u ma y find tha t yo u hav e trie d t omake a n occupatio n from a non -occupational word . I n th e spac e afte r th eperson's name , ther e ar e man y possibl ecombinations o f words . Her e ar e som e o fthe variation s tha t yo u migh t find i n th epattern.

Confirming the Éelinger-Kestenberg ConnectionWorking with Early 19 th Century Vital Records

By Robert E. Heyman

The Zelinge r famil y provide d m e wit h thre eimportant lesson s i n doin g researc h i n th e Polis hvital records. First , i t is absolutely vital to look a tthe older records, from the Roman Catholic period.It is very wrong to take the attitude of "It can' t d oany good , sinc e the y didn' t hav e surnames. "Because o f these records , I have been abl e to pushmy Kestenber g ancestr y bac k anothe r tw ogenerations, an d ad d potentiall y hundred s o f ne wcousins t o m y tree . Secon d i s th e importanc e o fdoing complet e extract s o f th e records , especiall yfor the early period. Simpl y because the surname swere scarcer , an d record s no t a s good , w e mus tlook a t ever y clue . Finally , hun t dow n ever yrecord, eve n whe n yo u ar e sur e tha t ther e i snothing t o be gained. Yo u neve r kno w whe n yo umight find some additional piece of information .

My searc h o f my Kestenber g ancestr y le d m eto th e tow n o f Olkus z ("Se e Wher e Di d M yKestenbergs Originate, " b y Rober t Heyman ,Avotaynu, Volum e XII , Numbe r 4) . B y simpl ychecking al l o f th e indice s fo r th e nam eKestenberg, i t was then a simple an d quic k matte rto find al l Kestenber g records , wit h whic h I wa sable t o trac e th e famil y bac k t o my great-great -great-great-great-grandfather Moyzes z Kestenberg ,born around 1793.

This i s a ver y naiv e approach , fo r severa lreasons. Th e mos t immediat e i s tha t indice s ar enot 100 % infallible. Second , Olkusz was not full yindexed b y th e origina l clerks . Ful l indexin g di dnot begin unti l th e mid-1830s. Whe n I started th efull extract s fo r the Olkusz Jewish records, I founda few Kestenberg records in the years that were notindexed. Third , one loses any sens e of a completefamily picture . Fo r example , i t i s impossibl e t opick u p o n cousi n marriage s whe n doin g searche sof just a surname.

Some week s later , I too k a close r loo k a t th emarriage recor d o f m y great-great-great-great -grandparents Icy k Wol f Kestenber g an d Este rHawa Eilenber g (Olkus z 183 6 marriages , ak t 5) .The Polis h tex t identifie d Icy k Wolf s fathe r a s"Moska dawnu y Zelinge r a natera s Kestenberg. "

Translated, thi s reads , "Mosek, formerl y Zelinger ,and now Kestenberg."

I wa s stunned . Wa s thi s tellin g m e tha t th esurname used to be Zelinger? Wh y would anyon ejust change a surname? Later I found ou t that namechanges wer e certainl y no t uncommo n i n thi sregion (Se e "Alternat e Surname s i n Russia nPoland," by Lauren B . Eisenberg Davis , Avotaynu,Volume XII, Number 2). M y later research provedthat i t wa s ver y commo n i n Olkus z t o chang esurnames i n th e earl y 1820s . Othe r example s i nmy ow n famil y includ e Goldflu s t o Goldsztein ,Eichenwald t o Liberman , an d Kesler t o Reicher .There are many others.

However, unlik e th e othe r nam e change s Ifound, th e name Zelinger survived. I f this namechange was actuall y true , I had a lo t more cousin sin Olkusz than I originally thought I did.

My firs t ste p wa s t o fin d mor e evidenc e tha tthe surname was originall y Zelinger . Ak t 4 i n the1841 marriages was the marriage o f Zysl Zelinger .The bride is identified a s "Zysl Zelinger , nateraz zgonego nazwick a ojc a Kestenberg.. . Zelinge rnowym nazwickie m Kestenberg" . Th e firs t par troughly reads, "Zysl Zelinger temporarily , now thefather's surnam e Kestenberg," an d th e las t par t o fthe phras e translate s roughl y t o "Zelinge r ne wsurname Kestenberg." The signatur e a t the botto msaid Zys l Kestenberg . I foun d somethin g similarwith a marriag e recor d o f a Chan a Kestenber g(Olkusz 184 2 marriages, akt 4).

This seeme d t o clinch it . However , I did hav eone more minor bit of evidence. Onc e Jewish vita levent registration s wer e entere d i n a separat erecord boo k beginnin g i n 1826 , Olkus z wen t t o"standard" witnesses, where th e same people wer ewitness to just abou t every document . Fo r most o fthe exceptions to the standard witness procedure, Ifound a relationshi p betwee n th e witnes s an d th eperson represente d i n th e document . Th erelationships wer e no t explicitl y defined . Thes erelationships coul d onl y hav e bee n discovere dthrough complete extraction of the documents. The

10 Kiclcc-Radom SIG Journal, Vol. 2, No. 2 Spring 1998only documents where Moyzesz Kestenberg was awitness involved Zelingers.

The next ste p was to figure out how Moyzes zKestenberg fit int o th e family . Thi s mean t goin gback t o th e Roman-Catholi c period . Becaus e th eJewish record s ar e intermixe d wit h thos e o f othe rreligions and Jews may not have surnames, this canbe a difficul t an d tediou s task , bu t th e potentia lgains can be enormous.

The Roman-Catholic perio d i s define d a s th eyears 1808-1825 , befor e th e Kingdo m o f Polan dstarted keeping separate books for each religion. I nOlkusz, recor d keepin g begin s actuall y i n lat e1810, afte r th e Duch y o f Warsa w too k contro l o fthe West Galicia region from Austria-Hungary . (I tis inaccurat e t o sa y Polan d - followin g 1795 ,Poland di d no t exis t a s a natio n unti l afte r Worl dWar I . Se e "Kielc e an d Rado m Gubernia s -Geographic History, " b y Warre n Blatt , Kielce-Radom SIG Journal, 1:1 , Winter 1997. )

I realize d tha t confirmin g mor e Zelinge rrelationships i n th e earl y record s woul d b e ver ytough, due t o the lac k o f surnames . Earlier , I hadmet with Lauren Eisenberg Davis , and sh e showe dme he r wor k o n complet e extraction s o f th e tow nof Chçciny. A t the time , I thought tha t thi s wouldbe to o muc h work . Bu t wit h th e Kestenberg -Zelinger problem , I realize d tha t I reall y didn' thave a choice . I eve n decide d t o g o on e ste pfurther, an d creat e a n "Olkus z famil y tree, " basedon al l th e record s I coul d find a t th e LD S Famil yHistory Library . Thi s tre e ha s prove n t o b e a nimmensely valuable tool.

One immediat e surpris e wa s tha t ther e wer ealready man y surname s eve n whe n record s bega nin 1810 . Thi s i s i n contras t t o othe r town s i n th egubemia. (Se e "Early Surnam e Usage Survey," byLauren Eisenber g Davis , Kielce-Radom SIGJournal, 1:2 , Spring 1997. ) Still , this really did notmake thing s easier . Som e record s ha d ver y littl einformation, an d other s seeme d t o contradic t wha tother record s said . T o mak e thing s worse , i tappeared th e clerk s decide d t o us e som e Polis hversion of the name at times, especially for women.

Though I ha d n o ide a o f th e nam e o f eithe rparent o f Moyzesz , I bega n wit h th e tentativ eassumption tha t any Zelinger born around the sametime was a brother.

Among the records, I found th e following :1) Evidenc e o f childre n o f Mare k Zelinge r an d

Mary z Szmul, Marek born around 1780 .2) Evidenc e o f childre n o f Szmu l Zelinge r an d

Zysl Macner, Szmul born around 1786 .3) 181 4 deat h o f Dawid , so n o f Moyzes z

Zelinger, Moyzesz bom around 1789 .4) 182 5 deat h o f a n unname d person , chil d o f

Moyzesz Kestenberg , Moyzes z bor n aroun d1793.

At thi s point , I stil l di d no t kno w ho w Mare kand Szmul fit in with Moyzesz. I choose to includethem in this list , because I know most abou t them ,and there is little confusion a s to whom thei r wiveswere. Ther e are several other Zelingers in the earlyrecords, which ar e stil l causin g m e confusion , bu tthat is the subject fo r anothe r story . Curiously , thename Zelinge r disappeare d from th e Olkus zrecords i n the beginning o f the Jewish registratio nperiod, onl y t o reappea r som e year s later . Som erecords indicate d tha t Zelinger s move d t o Olkus zfrom Wolbrom1.

The objec t no w i s twofol d - i s th e Moyzes zZelinger i n documen t 3 abov e th e sam e a sMoyzesz Kestenberg in document 4, and assumin gMoyzesz, Marek, and Szmu l ar e brothers, who ar ethe parents? W e need t o take a closer loo k a t th erecords. I n documen t 3 , Moyzesz' s occupatio nwas arendarz, and he lived in house number 24, inthe villag e o f Gorunici . I n documen t 4 , th eoccupation wa s arendarz, an d h e live d a t hous enumber 11 .

Interestingly, almos t al l the Zelingers liste d i nthese records had an occupation o f arendarz. Thi scould be a family trade , or it could be some kind ofdefault occupation . Throug h my complete extract sof Olkus z records , I wa s abl e t o comput e som estatistics, and deriv e a hypothesis. First , arendarzappears as an occupation only for those born befor e1795. Thi s is curious, and leads me to believe thatit wa s som e kin d o f earl y defaul t occupation .However, I had occupations for 94 individuals bornbefore 1795 , an d onl y 1 7 o f the m indicate darendarz. Thi s lead s m e t o believ e tha t i t was ,indeed, a family trade 2.

In th e 181 9 birth o f Solomo n Zelinger , so n o fMarek Zelinge r an d Mar y z Szmul , Moyzes zZelinger wa s a witness , an d th e Hebre w signatur esaid quit e clearl y "Mosh e be n Kahara r Yaakov" .Kaharar ("nnp ) i s a n acrony m fo r "kavo d harav ,rabeinu". Translated , the signature reads, "Moshe,the so n o f th e honorabl e Rev , ou r teache r Jakob" .(Jakob, o r alternatively , th e diminutiv e Jankiel , i swhat we usually see in the records - th e Hebrew isYaakov. Additionally , for Moshe, we normally seesomething lik e Moyzesz , o r Mosiek , i n th erecords.) A s a n aside , I d o no t believ e tha t thi sindicates a Rabbi, because I have seen the signatureon other records, where I had a record of the father ,and th e fathe r wa s no t a Rabbi . Thi s signatur e i sthe only clu e i n th e Olkus z record s a s wh o th eprogenitor of the Zelinger family may be.

This Moyzesz Zelinge r wa s born aroun d 179 6and live d i n Gorunici , wit h a n occupatio n o farendarz. I t ha s bee n wel l establishe d ho wunreliable th e age s ar e i n thes e records . I ca nconclude tha t thi s Moyzesz Zelinge r was the sam eas that mentioned i n document 3 above. Fo r thos estill worried abou t the age, it i s worth noting tha t Ihave many records involving Moyzesz Kestenber gin Olkusz , an d th e calculate d yea r o f birt h range sfrom 178 6 to 1796.

But, wa s thi s Moyzes z Zelinge r indee d m ygreat-great-great-great-great-grandfather? I had t ofind ou t what els e I knew abou t him. On e item i nfavor wa s th e fac t tha t th e famil y wa s limite d i nsize.

they are used as separate occupations. Accordin g toAlexander Beider, author of A Dictionary of JewishSurnames from the Kingdom of Poland (Teaneck, NewJersey: Avotaynu, 1996) : "The term arçdarz is largerthan szynkarz . Al l szynkarz were arçdarz becauseJewish innkeepers were tenants of their inns. Jewis htenancy was mostly represented by inn tenancy, and,therefore, most arçdarz were indeed szynkarz. Ther ewere, however, other leaseholders than innkeepers :tenants of brewery, of mills, of roads/bridges, etc."In the early 1800s , many men were innkeepers. Thi s wastypical o f th e Jewis h populatio n i n man y areas .However, i n 181 2 the Duchy of Warsaw issue d a decreebanning Jews as tavernkeepers.

grandfather. Th e hous e numbe r an d ag e ar edifferent. Ag e i s unreliable , an d h e coul d hav emoved. Mor e striking , perhaps , is the occupation .It i s arendarz i n bot h cases . I t ma y hav e bee nwishful thinking , bu t I foun d thi s possibl ysignificant.

However, w e ca n d o more . Wha t els e di d Iknow about Moyzesz Kestenberg? I knew o f fou rchildren - a so n Icy k Wolf , an d daughter s Chana ,Zysl, and Ester. Through a second marriage, he hadadditional childre n Sora , Jekiel , an d Malk a Laia .What disappointed me here?

Eastern Europea n Jew s hav e a tradition o fnaming childre n afte r ancestor s tha t hav e passe daway. Ther e ar e n o childre n name d Jakob !Analysis of the early Olkusz records showed that ifMoyzesz i s a brothe r o f th e othe r Zelinger smentioned, h e ha d t o b e th e youngest . No t onl ymust h e be th e youngest , bu t possibly 2 0 years o rmore younge r tha n th e oldes t child . Wit h th eshorter lif e expectancie s o f thos e days , I woul dhave though t tha t Jako b woul d hav e passe d awa yby then.

The nex t ste p wa s t o chec k th e grandchildre nof Moyzesz. Icy k Wolf named a son Szmul Jakob.Zysl name d a so n Jako b Hersz . Este r marrie d aJakob, so no chance there . Chan a lef t town , and Idid no t hav e record s o f birth s fo r he r children .This wa s no t a lo t t o g o o n - Jako b i s a ver ycommon name i n it s ow n right . But , the childre nthat could have named their children Jakob, did.

This was good to know, but then I had anothe rproblem. Notic e thi s lead s t o th e assumptio n tha tJakob wa s stil l aliv e whe n Icy k Wol f wa s born ,around 1816 . Icy k Wol f woul d no t hav e bee nnamed afte r hi s materna l grandfather , sinc eMoysesz's father-in-la w wa s name d Hersze l zLew. I had no death record fo r Jakob. Sure , theseare earl y records , an d no t everythin g wa sregistered, bu t Olkus z appeare d t o me t o b e fairl ycomplete. Thi s leads t o the assumption tha t Jako bdid not die in Olkusz. I f he did not die in Olkusz ,then where ? Th e logica l choic e i s th e tow nindicated o n late r Zelinger record s - Wolbrom . Iexpected to find in the Wolbrom records , the deathof a Jakob Zelinger , a t a fairl y advance d age , an doccurring after 1816 .

I ordere d th e earl y films fo r Wolbrom . Wit hthe exceptio n o f th e famil y o f Naftal i Narcy s an dTecl Zelinger , I wa s disappointe d i n th e lac k o fZelingers i n these records . I t wa s easy t o fit Tec l

in th e family . Som e record s sai d Tec l Zelinger .Others said Tecl z Jakob. Thi s was more evidenc eof the name of the father .

Then I foun d wha t shocke d me . Akt 10 in1825 was the death of Jakob Zelinger, age 83, sonofFaybus and Bracha, survived by a wife Malka zSzaja. Hi s so n Szaj a witnesse d th e document .Note that Moyzesz had a daughter Malka . Further ,Icyk Wolf , Zysl , an d Este r al l name d childre nMalka. I also noticed tha t Icy k Wol f named a sonSzaja. I ha d n o mor e doubt s tha t Moyzes zKestenberg wa s th e so n o f Jako b Zelinge r an dMalka z Szaja .

Let u s no w retur n t o item s 1 ) an d 2) i n th eabove list . Childre n I ha d identifie d fo r Mare kZelinger wer e Bracha , Ester , Zofia , Szlomo ,Faybus, Mosiek, Jakob , Melech, Malka Faygl , andCypra. Fo r Szmu l Zelinger, I had Szymon , Faybl ,Bracha, Jakob , Pesl , an d Szaj a Herszl . Bot hJakobs were born afte r th e death of the elder JakobZelinger. Pesl , younges t daughte r o f Szmul , wa sborn i n 1828 . Malk a Faygl , daughte r o f Marek ,was born in 1834 .

Are Marek and Szmul also sons of Jakob? W ecannot kno w fo r sure , bu t w e ca n advanc e som estrong statistica l arguments . Th e stud y o f give nnames i s somethin g tha t hasn' t receive d a lo t o fattention, bu t ca n b e significan t nonetheless . B ygoing beyon d extract s an d makin g a complet efamily tre e o f a town , on e ca n gai n a mor ecomplete understandin g o f famil y groups .Experience ha s show n tha t whe n sibling s giv echildren the same name, there is a reason.

As a startin g point , le t u s assum e tha t Marekand Szmu l ar e bot h grandson s o f Faybu s an dBracha. Thi s i s no t unreasonable . Usually ,families from th e sam e shtet l a t thi s tim e perio d(when surnam e usag e began ) tha t hav e th e sam esurname ar e related . I n addition , i t shouldn' t b eoverlooked tha t bot h Mare k an d Szmu l name dchildren Faybus and Bracha.

Surname usag e in this area ca n be assume d t ohave begu n aroun d 1805 , the tim e o f th e Austria nsurname mandat e i n Wes t Galicia . Faybu s an dBracha live d befor e thi s period , bu t the y coul dhave ha d mor e tha n on e chil d tak e th e nam eZelinger. I would lik e to show with the naming o ftheir children , that Marek an d Szmu l ar e also bothsons of Jakob and Malka. Give n names that mea nsomething here ar e Faybus, Bracha, Jakob , Malka ,and Szaja, Malka's father .

I counted 10 6 Jakobs out o f 2019 male namesin Olkusz. Thi s coun t o f 10 6 include s al l varian tspellings, suc h a s Jakub , Jankel , an d eve n Kopel .This is about 5%, so we can conclude that there is a5% chance tha t a male child wil l be named Jakob .This i s o f cours e no t quit e tru e - becaus e o fEastern European customs of naming children afte rancestors tha t hav e passe d away , thi s percentag ewould b e somewha t les s i f ther e ar e n o Jakobs i nthe ancestry , an d somewha t greate r i f ther e wer eJakobs in the ancestry. However , i t is a reasonableapproximation. Similarly , I counted 62 Malkas outof a total o f 188 2 females , o r abou t 3% . I t shouldalso b e note d tha t th e populatio n i s probabl ysomewhat overstated . Man y peopl e i n th e earlie rrecords are identified simpl y by patronymic, and i tis undoubtedly tru e tha t som e o f th e " z Jakob " or"z Moyzesz" patronymics refer to the same person.However, th e percentage s shoul d b e abou t th esame.

We hav e previousl y note d tha t th e name sFaybus an d Brach a ar e meaningful , i n th e sens ethat w e kno w fo r who m thos e childre n wer enamed. Sinc e w e ar e assumin g tha t Mare k an dSzmul ar e alread y descende d from Faybu s an dBracha, we do not include calculations fo r chance sthat a chil d woul d b e give n on e o f thos e names .Further, we also need to exclude that child from thechances o f bein g give n anothe r name . Puttin g i tanother way , Mare k ha d five mal e children , bu tone was named Faybus . Therefor e ther e ar e onl yfour chance s lef t tha t anothe r woul d b e name dJakob. Similarly , Mare k gav e ou t five femal enames other than Bracha (one daughter was given adouble name) , an d Szmu l gav e ou t fou r mal enames other than Faybus.

The first questio n is , a t random , wha t i s th eprobability tha t exactl y on e o f Marek' s fou r othe rmale childre n would be named Jakob ? Ou t o f fivechildren, w e wan t thre e o f the m no t t o hav e th ename Jakob (.95 chance each), and one to have thename Jakob (.05 chance) . Further , the name Jakobcan occu r i n on e o f fou r place s (th e eldes t male ,second eldest, etc.). Henc e we have to multiply theprobability tha t on e chil d i s no t Jakob , time s th eprobability tha t a secon d chil d i s not Jakob , time sthe probability tha t a third child is not Jakob, timesthe probabilit y tha t a fourt h chil d i s Jakob , time sthe number of places that Jakob can appear in birthorder. Thi s work s ou t t o .95*.95*.95*.05*4 , o rabout .128 , o r 12.8% . (Here , an d fo r late rcalculations, I use * to represent multiplication.)


I made similar calculations regardin g Marek' schild Malka . Abou t 3 % o f th e femal e name s i nOlkusz wer e Malka . Workin g ou t a similarcalculation as above, we find about a 13.2 % chancethat one of Marek's daughters was named Malka.

For Szmul' s children , w e mus t conside r tha tamong fou r possibilities , on e wa s name d Jakob ,and one named Szaja . Szaj a i s very rare in Olkusz.There are only 1 7 altogether (this works out to .9%,or .00 9 o f th e population) , an d nearl y hal f ar eZelingers. Ou t o f four names , there are 1 2 ways t oarrange Jakob and Szaja :• eldes t is Jakob, second is Szaj a• eldes t is Jakob, third is Szaja• eldes t is Jakob, fourth i s Szaj a• secon d is Jakob, third is Szaja• secon d is Jakob, fourth i s Szaj a• secon d is Jakob, first i s Szaja• thir d is Jakob, first is Szaja• thir d is Jakob, second is Szaja• thir d is Jakob, fourth i s Szaja• fourt h i s Jakob, first is Szaja• fourt h i s Jakob, second is Szaja• fourt h is Jakob, third is SzajaNote tha t on e chil d wa s given a double name , andthis count s th e chanc e tha t th e nam e wa s Jako bSzaja, a s wel l a s Szaj a Jakob . Thos e tw o choice smust b e considere d equivalent , s o ther e ar e reall yonly 1 1 possibilities.

Again, w e hav e t o multipl y probabilit y tha tone chil d i s no t Jako b o r Szaja , time s th eprobability tha t a secon d chil d i s no t Jako b o rSzaja, time s th e probabilit y tha t a thir d chil d i sJakob, time s th e probabilit y tha t a fourt h chil d i sSzaja, time s the number o f combinations by whichwe could arrange Jakob an d Szaja . Th e probabilit ythat a chil d i s name d neithe r Jako b no r Szaj a i scalculated b y subractin g th e probabilit y o f th ename Jakob an d th e probability o f th e name Szaj afrom th e numbe r 1 : l-.05-.009.=.941.S o th eprobability o f finding Jakob and Szaj a amon g fou rnames is .941*.941*.05*.009*ll = .004.

All thes e naming s ar e independen t events , s owe multipl y th e probabilities , .128M32*.OO 4 =.000068, o r jus t ove r 7 chance s i n 100,000 .However, t o decide ho w man y occurrence s o f thi stype we expect, we must multiply by the number ofchances o f having thi s happen . Tha t is , note firstthat w e originall y chos e tw o peopl e wh o ha d th esame grandparents . Ho w man y set s o fgrandparents did we have at this time?

This is very difficul t t o answer. W e are reallyonly concerne d wit h th e perio d o f Austria n rul eand before . Fo r anyon e bor n later , ther e i s n ochance tha t w e wil l se e name s o f great -grandchildren i n th e Olkus z record s o n th e LD Smicrofilms, whic h en d i n 1870 . Ou r best guid e i sthe statemen t from th e Olkus z Yizko r Boo k tha tthe Jewish populatio n o f Olkusz wa s 72 3 in 1765 ,and wen t dow n durin g th e period o f Austrian rule ,which wa s from 1795-1809 . (Olkusz, MemorialBook to a Community that was ExterminatedDuring the Holocaust, edite d b y Zv i Yashiv ,published b y th e Olkus z societ y i n Te l Avi v i n1971, page 17).

Certainly ther e ar e n o mor e tha n 740 suc hpossibilities. Wh y d o I pick th e numbe r 740 ?Because 740*.00006 8 i s abou t .05 , which mean sthat ther e i s a 5 % chanc e o f thi s even t occurring .Putting i t anothe r way , there i s a 95% chance tha tthis event di d no t occu r a t random. I t i s up t o theindividual readin g thi s whether h e o r sh e want s t oaccept this , but i t i s worth notin g tha t statistician saccept somethin g t o b e tru e whe n the y ar e 95 %sure that it did not occur by chance.

There ar e othe r considerations tha t we did no ttake into account. Namely , the chance tha t Marekdid not nam e a chil d Szaja , o r tha t Szmu l di d notname a child Malka . Thi s would not have affecte dthe calculation s much . However , w e als o shoul dnote tha t bot h childre n name d Jako b wer e bor nafter th e death of the elder Jakob Zelinger in 1825.Not onl y that , bu t fo r bot h Marek an d Szmul , i twas th e firs t mal e chil d bor n afte r th e death o fJakob Zelinge r tha t wa s give n th e nam e Jakob .Malka was stil l aliv e then , an d Szmu l ha d hi s las tdaughter i n 1828 . Thes e ar e thing s that , i f the ywere take n int o account , woul d lowe r th eprobabilities stil l further .

As state d above , th e reade r shoul d dra w hi sown conclusion. M y conclusion i s that Marek an dSzmul ar e indee d son s o f Jakob Zelinger , an d ar ebrothers of my ancestor, Moyzesz Kestenberg.3

The punc h lin e i s ye t t o come , however .Recall tha t Moyzes z Kestenber g ha d a secon dmarriage. I t seeme d lik e tha t i t wa s n o longe rnecessary t o fin d tha t secon d marriag e record .What mor e coul d i t tel l me ? Well , I wa s i n fo ranother surprise .

Why did I go through al l this analysi s when Icould have gained the same information, an d more,just by finding thi s secon d marriag e record ?

We sure could use your help!From the time we began publishing, you have heardus pleading fo r your help with the Journal.

Now, your Coordinator needs help. H e has beencarrying the administrative and publishing loadhimself and now finds he needs someone to take overthe job of putting the Journal together.

Virtually all of the material comes in camera-ready.Most of what is needed is adding the dateline andpage numbers to each page and occasionally somereformatting and typesetting.

It does take someone with a computer andknowledge of a word processing program to do thejob. Dependin g on experience, it can be done in justfew hours per issue.

Methodology Questions

Editor's note: This post from JewishGen addressesresearch in Lomza, not Kielce/Radom, but the questionswere so universal to Kingdom of Poland research that wefelt it was appropriate to include it here. Harriet Browngraciously gave her permission for the reprint. -LBD/WB.

I'm wonderin g i f there' s anyon e ou t ther e wh o ca n hel pme wit h a couple o f problem s I'v e discovere d doin g

Polish research . I ordere d som e film s from th e FHC ,birth/marriage/death records for Lomza for various years,hoping t o find som e trac e o f th e SANDROVIC H o rINWERTZ/EVENTASH families . I was naive enough tobe horrifie d a t th e hundred s o f page s o f cursiv e Polis hthat arrived , bu t plunge d i n anywa y an d manage d wit hthe hel p o f a Polish-speakin g seatmat e t o pic k ou t th ename Shmue l Sandrovic h Chuyka. Thi s nam e appeare dover and ove r i n the witness lin e o f birth/marriage/deat hrecords from 183 0 to 1862 ! Besid e eac h Polis h writin gof his name, Shmuel signed in Hebrew. According to myseatmate, Shmuel was 50 years old in 1830 , so he was 80by the time his name stopped appearing-which I believebecause of the deterioration in his signature.

1) His name was probably spelled something like SzmulSandrowicz in Polish.2) Be careful about taking ages too literally. They wereoften approximations at best.

My questions are these:1. Doe s anyon e kno w anythin g abou t th e practic e o fwitnessing? My Polish speaker suggested that people likeShmuel wer e professiona l witnesse s wh o signe d thei rname for a drink or a token payment. He also said it wasunusual fo r a Jewish ma n a t that time in that place to beliterate. Does this ring a bell for anyone?

Yes, at that period of time it was common to have"standard witnesses" - the same witnesses on recordafter record. It was unusual for a Jewish man to besecularly literate (in Polish language) but not odd at allto be literate in Hebrew/Yiddish.

2. I'm wondering about the fact tha t my family' s nam e isSANDROVICH an d thi s perso n apparentl y ha d a las tname of CHUYKA adde d on . Sometimes he signed onlyShmuel Sandrovic h i n Hebrew, othe r times he adde d th elast part o f the name. Again, my source was surprised a tthis because he said that CHUYKA was a Gentile name.Other witnesse s i n th e sam e boo k als o ha d Jewis h firstand middl e name s an d wha t h e fel t wer e Gentil e las tnames. Doe s anyon e hav e a n explanatio n fo r this ? I' msure Shmue l wa s Jewish , a s h e signe d hi s nam e i nHebrew.

Sandrowicz would be not the surname, but thepatronymic: Szmul, son of Sender. CHUYKA would bethe surname in this case. Many families had patronymicstyle surnames, but typically if you see a patronymicPLUS the surname, the patronymic is the father's givenname.


There is really no such thing as a "Gentile" surname.Many Polish Jews had the same surnames as theirChristian counterparts . . . surnames such as DZIADEK(Polish word for "Grandfather"), UBOGI (Polish for"poor"), ZAI4C (Polish for "hare"), just as a fewexamples.

The easiest way to identify Jews in mixed registers(1810-1825 Roman Catholic civil registers includedpeople of all religions) was by given name. Gentiles didNOT have names like Szmul. Additionally, for the yearsyou searched, there are separate registers for Jewishregistrations.

Also, be careful in your use of the terms first and middlenames. Often this was problematic: A man named HerszLejzor might sometimes be called that, sometimes justHersz, sometimes Lejzor, and sometimes Lejzor Hersz.Worse, clerical errors might cause him to be calledLejbus!

3. Ho w likel y woul d i t have been tha t th e family woul dhave droppe d tha t las t nam e an d bee n know n a sSandrovich, either before or after emigrating ?

Throughout time, the family may have intermittently usedthe patronymic and the proper surname. Note that if atrue patronymic, Szmul's son's would list not Sandrowicz,but Szmulowicz.

4. Finally-hav e an y o f thes e record s bee n indexe d o rtranslated into English?

Many vital records for the city of Lomza are indexedthrough the Jewish Records Indexing - Poland project.You can access them at <http://www.jewishgen.org/JRI-PL>. Also, there is a Suwalk-Lomza Special InterestGroup(SIG) < http://www.jewishgen.org/SuwalkLomza>or via mail at: Box 228, 3701 Connecticut Avenue, NW,Washington, D.C. 20008). However, I must caution thatthere is no substitute for looking at records yourself.Other sources, such as r JRI-PL and the SIG aresecondary and tertiary sources, which can compounderrors, either in the original record to index process, orjust due to interpretation of poor handwriting, decayingrecord books, etc. Using these tools is a great start, butonce you identify important records, you need to look atthem directly. Also you must recognize that a record (ormore than one!) important to you might be overlooked orunrecognizable in these tools.

There's no way I can learn much from hundreds of pagesof cursive Polish records as I don't speak any Polish. Anysuggestions?

There certainly ARE ways you can learn much fromhundreds of pages of cursive Polish records. Less thanthree years ago, I was in your exact position. However, Iwas determined to conquer the records, and I have myfamily traced back to circa 1700 on many branches, allin the Kingdom of Poland. Get a good Polish - Englishdictionary. Look at Judith Frazin's book on Polishrecords - your LDSprobably has it. Read Warren Blatt'sFAQ (<http://www.jewishgen.org/infofiles/faq.html> andalso available as a softcover book through Avotaynu),Vital Records in Poland InfoFile<http://www.jewishgen.org/infofiles/polandv.htmt> andEastern Europe FAQ<http://www.jewishgen.org/infofiles/eefaq.txt>. Lookinto subscribing to "Landsmen", the journal for theSuwalk-Lomza SIG, and also look into the Kielce-RadomSIG <http://www.jewishgen.org/krsig> - while this SIGdoes not deal with the Lomza region, there are manymethodology articles that will help you learn to use thePolish records to your advantage. This year, K-R SIGwill also run a couple of features on Russian languagehelp, for use with the later years of the Kingdom ofPoland's records (1868 - 1917 were kept in Russian -Cyrillic alphabet). - LBD/WSB.

Yes, the names are most probably all connected. It iscommon to see the same family denoted as Rutman,Rotman, Ruthman, and Ratman. Rutmanowicz containsthe suffix -wicz, which means "son of. "

The unique value of this book is that it disprovesonce and for al l the commonly-held bubba-meisa that"all the records were destroyed" in Poland. Thi s bookshows that million s o f record s do exis t — Here i s aninventory, i n black and white .

The boo k i s i n seve n chapters , plus severa lappendices. A n eager genealogis t i s tempted to jumpright to the "Archiva l Inventories " chapte r — but theother section s contai n fascinatin g an d valuableinformation.

Chapter On e i s a genera l introductio n t o Polish -Jewish genealogical research, by Jeffrey K .

Not enough attention is given to the differences i nrecord-keeping betwee n th e variou s Polis h region sduring th e 19t h century .

Ms. Weine r mus t b e congratulate d fo r thi sincredible effort , whic h require d th e inpu t an dcooperation o f hundred s o f sources . I n any work o fthis magnitude, especially a ground-breaking one suchas this, which compiles its information fro m hundred sof sources , error s and omissions are inevitable .

For example, I have received from both the PolishState Archive s an d US C office s variou s record s fo rthe towns o f Losic e an d Nowogrôd , fo r year s whic hare no t liste d i n th e inventories . Th e autho rencourages inpu t fro m al l reader s wh o discove radditions or corrections .

There ar e othe r mino r errors : Th e tow n o fSzydtowiec is misspelled a s "Szdtowiec " throughout .The mai n entr y fo r th e tow n o f Opatô w (pag e 248 )places it in the wrong province: entries for two townswith the same name were erroneously merged. "Our "Opatôw (formerly i n Radom gubernia) is currently i nthe province of Tarnobrzeg; there is another town withthe same name i n Kalisz province.

It should also be noted that some of the entries areunverified, havin g been compiled from secondary andtertiary sources . Fo r example , on page 249 the bookreferences Jewish community records for the town ofOstroleka, supposedl y hel d b y archive s i n Grodno .This citatio n wa s copie d fro m a n unverifie d tertiar ysource; thes e record s d o no t exis t i n th e Grodn oarchives.

Secondly , materia lis constantly moving, not only between branches of thePolish State Archives, but also that by Polish law thereare regular movements of vital records from the USCsto the nearby PS A branches.

Th e Dictionary contains entrieson prominent people, institutions and events in KielceJewish history. Pleas e note that we need translators -Hebrew, Yiddish and Polish - i n order to bring thi smaterial to our readers.

/ wish to ask forgiveness for my late answer of yourletter from 23 June 1997, and for the mistakes that youwill find in my writing, my English is not well. I canwrite to you in the Hebrew or in Yiddish or in thePolish languages, if you can translate that and thematerials [I can supply] can be useful for you. By thisoccasion I will express to you my deepest thanks forthe sending me the 4 publications of your veryimportant quarterly Kielce-Radom and I wish to be asubscriber of your publication.

A few words about myself: My name is RaphaelBlumenfeld, a retired educator and former director ofa big youth village, the Kfar Honoar Nitzanim youthvillage, where [were educated] since the year 1949more than 400 youngsters, boys and girls, newimmigrants in the framework of the youth aliya, andhelped by the Z.W.O. Hadassa. I worked as thegeneral director of the village for 35 years. When Ibecame [pensioned] I worked as a volunteer in thearchive for Jewish education in Israel and Diaspora,as a bibliography counselor. I am very active in theSociety of the Kielce Jews and I work in research inhistory matters from the Jews in Kielce and thewojewoda towns and shtetlack - villages in this area.I published, together with my colleague Prof. K.Urbanski, lector of history in the pedagogic highschool in Kielce and of the University Jagello inKrakow, "A Historical Dictionary of the Kielce Jews "

in 1995. We work now together on a new book aboutthe life of the Holocaust survivors in Kielce and theKielce Wojewoda area in the first period after thesecond World War between the years 1945 -1950. Isend to you apart of my publications in Hebrew and inPolish and I want to cooperate with you if I can sendyou my publications in the languages that I mention.

I work also in seeking genealogical issues. I find in oneof your very important quarterly Kielce RadomJournal, the list of marriages in Kielce in the 19thcentury. I am sending you also the Kielce [annual]bulletin #3 in Hebrew about the activities of theKielcer society in Israel. And I hope for a goodcooperation between us. I publish also a Yiddishsupplement in a Hebrew weekly journal in the city ofAshkelon, and I serve the Yiddish culture and languageas the chairman of the Israeli council for Yiddishlanguage and culture in Israel.

We finish our letter with the best regards and wishesfor a big success in your very important JewishHistorical research. And we will be glad to cooperatewith you.

Slownik Historii Kieleckich Zydow: Introduction

Lack of a dictionary which would contain a list ofJewish institution s an d socia l organisation s create smany theoretical and practical problems, particularlywhen on e intend s t o writ e a pape r o n thi s subject .However, studies on the history of Jews in Poland aremore an d mor e extensive . Afte r years , no t onl ydifferences but also [similarities] between the Jews andthe Poles are noticeable. Therefore , i t seems that thepublication of this Dictionary has a deep significance.

The Dictionary comprise s th e mos t importan tentries relating to the history of the Jewish populationin Kielce from the 1830s, i.e. from the time when theyapplied for the right of settlement in the town.

Rich Polish townspeople were reluctant to acceptJews i n thei r town s becaus e the y wer e afrai d o fcompetition i n craft s an d trade . Thos e fear s wer ejustified. O n the eve of World War I, i.e. 50 years afterthe reform of Aleksander Wielopolski1, about 50% ofbusinesses and craft workshops belonged to the Jewishpopulation. Man y Poles were envious of the richestEhrlichs, Zagajskis, Nowaks , but they did not noticedozens o f poo r cobblers , tailors , leathe r stitchers ,glaziers, tinsmith s an d hucksters . Jewis h trad e i nKielce wa s mostly pett y an d poor , bu t i n each cas ecustomers wer e wel l care d for . Thi s led , amongs tothers, to the failure o f the famous action "Poles DoBusiness wit h Poles " which wa s propagate d b y th eNational Democracy. Th e interwar period contributedto th e unquestionabl e developmen t o f th e Jewis hcommunity i n Kielce . Jewis h parties , socia linstitutions, schools and sports clubs were organised.The importance of Jewish intelligentsia who closelycollaborated with the Poles in many areas significantlyincreased. Althoug h professiona l link s wer eincreasingly stronger, social life continued to developseparately mainl y du e t o religiou s tradition s an ddifferent customs .

The war and occupation deteriorated the situationof the Jews in Kielce dramatically. I n April 1941, theNazis created a ghetto in the most backward quarter ofthe tow n wher e 27,00 0 person s from Kielc e an dneighbouring littl e town s a s wel l a s from Warsaw ,Cracow, Lôdz , Prague , [and ] Vienn a wer econcentrated.

1 Hrabia (Count) Aleksander Wielopolski (1803-1877):"Polish statesman who undertook a program of majorinternal reforms coupled with full submission toRussian domination in order to gain maximum nationalautonomy." {Britannica Online <http://www.eb.com>}.

Many Kielc e residents , includin g thos e wh ogrumbled abou t Jewish competition , then helped theJews, providing them with food, medicine or "Aryan"document. Augus t 194 2 brought the Holocaust. I nthree large deportations on August 20-24, the Germanssent 21,00 0 Jew s t o gas chamber s a t Treblinka an dmurdered some 1500 during selection. Onl y some 200native Jewish residents of Kielce and over 500 otherpersons in the ghetto survived the Holocaust. Kielc eJews were murdered at Auschwitz, Majdanek, Gliwice,Ravensbriick and in the gulags of Siberia.

The Kielce Jewish community , recoverin g afte rthe war, was destroyed by the pogrom of July 4,1946.Those who survived left the town for other towns orleft Poland.

Much of the data presented here was unknown tothe younger generation because for years the subject ofthe Jewis h communit y i n Kielc e wa s deliberatel ysilenced.

The Dictionary made us e o f source s from th eArchiwum Ak t Dawnyc h (Archive s o f Ol d Acts) ,Archiwum Zydowskieg o Instytut u Historyczneg o(Archives o f th e Jewis h Historica l Institute) , th eGlôwnej Komisj i Badani a Zbrodn i Przeciwk oNarodowi Polskiem u (Chie f Commissio n o f th eInvestigation o f Crime s Agains t th e Polish Nation) ,Archiwumm Ak t Nowych (Archive s o f New Acts) ,Archiwum Panstwowym w Kielcach i Radomiu (StateArchives in Kielce and Radom), Muzeum Narodowymw Kielcach (National Museum in Kielce), InstyrucieYad Washe m w Jerozolimi e (Ya d Vashe m i nJerusalem). [Additionally] , th e author s use d som epublications issued in Poland, the USA and Israel.

It was difficult t o select entries in order to presentthe subject in a most comprehensive way. Entries arearranged alphabetically; in the case of associations andunions, and particularly religious congregations, theirnames are given in Hebrew o r Yiddish , a s they ar emost often recorded in archives.

The author s ar e gratefu l t o Professo r Jerz yTomaszewski from Warsa w an d Professo r Jerz yGolçbiowski from Cracow fo r thei r approva l o f theconcept o f th e Dictionary. W e acknowledg e th evaluable remarks of the reviewers, Professor Regin aRenz and Professor J. Golçbiowski.
