Some of us were told that our families were "from" Poland or from
Russia or from Russian Poland or Lithuania.... and all by the same
family. All were correct! (No one was born in "Guberniya", a
geographical designation roughly equivalent to a province or
state). For a
time-line of the political football played with what's now Belarus,
click
here.
To our ancestors, the Hebrew alphabet was
the natural
way
to write their names. On civil documents, other alphabets
were
used.
Names
were transliterated in arbitrary, varying
ways. (Click on your browser's

LDS Microfilms from
towns in Lida
area ----9/04:
2 translation
projects underway!
Judy
Baston is coordinating a project to translate records from
Novy
Dvor,
Orlya, Shchuchin, and Radun on LDS microfilm.
The results will be entered into the All-Lithuania Database.
Contact
Judy if you can help.
Tova Jaffe is
coordinating the
effort
to translate the records filmed in Grodno and on LDS microfilm 2329356,
Ostryna
and Belitsa 1897-1900. The translations will become part of
the
All-Belarus
Database. Contact Tova if you can help.
These records were kept on a double page, with Russian on the
left
&
Hebrew on the right. There were columns for the
required
data,
so the linguistic demands are not high. A few
of these records have already been indexed and are available
on
this
site. You can see from the numbers involved here that the
towns
were
small, so there aren't very many entries to work on; once
started,
this should not be a huge project if enough people volunteer.

Storks
figured large in the popular imagination in Europe;
they
were the most spectacular bird people were likely to see.
Since
there's no corresponding bird in the US- European storks adapted to
human presence to the point of frequently nesting on roofs, which was
considered to be
lucky for the residents of the house in question - the only remnant
left
in US popular culture is that babies are brought by storks.
