| Hello, I hope this is the correct place to post this. I am researching my family and trying to find out where in Poland they are from and if there are still relatives there. This is what I have:
Hanchel (Anchel, Herman) Schiff born 1878. His father was Fred. Hanchel's wife, Cyrel (Tzirel) Lewis (Lieb) born 1882/84. They went to England then Canada then to U.S. around 1901/02. (I don't know if Fred came along). Hanchel and Cyrel are buried in the Ostrover section of the cemetery here in the US. I've been told this means they came from Ostrow. On Hanchel's naturalization papers, he says he was born in Zemberof, Russian Poland. (Pretty sure the town is a misspelling). I've found an Anzce Szfyman whose father was Friom on a Polish census, but no other information. Anzce was born in Jablonka and Froim possibly Zareby Koscielne - I don't know if these are the same people. Any help and/or suggestions would be greatly appreciated as I've been looking for years! [email protected] Thank you! |

| Gilberto,
I'd be happy too, if only I could figure out how! The pic link wants a URL for the photo and I have them in my iPad (no URL). Is there another way to attach them? There are three pages. Danette |

| Gilberto,
I really appreciate the link, sadly I can't read or understand Polish. I tried the English version but as far as I can tell, it says no digitized records. Danette |

Those records are written in russian (after 1868). Even worse, in a format I had never seen before. His birth year 1878 is not available. Perhaps his parents married in 1877 or early years. Gilberto |
. I'm sure it was earlier years.

March 5, 1878 in one record March 12, 1879 in the other. I think the ship name is La Champagne. Gilberto |

Wow, Ostrow, very popular. I think I may have it narrowed down to Lomsa (Lomza?) but I saw a census on Jewishgen that had Ancze Szyfman as having been born in Jablonka. I found a Froim (that was listed as his father on the same census) as having been born (in est 1850s) in Zareby Koscielne - are these places close to Zambrow? Thank you so very much for searching szukajwarchiwach.pl for me, I'm forever grateful! Best, Danette Also, there was a rumor that Nathan put his birth year back 2 years from 1900 so that he could marry. |
