http://twentyone-seven.blogspot.com/2014/12/i-think-we-need-to-talk.html
Roots Notes - jottings on my own family histories, on Jewish genealogy, on genealogy in general, and on ways of telling our family stories. Thursday, 11 December 2014. I think we need to talk. I met Cousin Joan yesterday. Well, Third Cousin Joan. She came across me online a few months ago, but this was the first time we had met - she lives in Israel, and was coming over to London for a couple of days, so I hopped on the train and went up to see her. Joan saw what I had written, and posted a comment:.

Roots Notes - jottings on my own family histories, on Jewish genealogy, on genealogy in general, and on ways of telling our family stories. Wednesday, 25 July 2012. Tell your family story online. This is the presentation I used for my talk at the IAJGS Conference. Last week. The slides are a bit wordy, so you don't need me to tell what they're about here. Some of you may recognise yourselves in there. And this is from the handout:. How can we tell our family stories so that they can be heard? IAJGS), in ...

TwentyOne Seven: A tale of three brothers - or maybe four

Roots Notes - jottings on my own family histories, on Jewish genealogy, on genealogy in general, and on ways of telling our family stories. Sunday, 30 November 2014. A tale of three brothers - or maybe four. Here’s a tale of three brothers, all born in Gombin (‘Gabin’ in Polish) around 1780-1800. Or maybe four. So much for the three brothers. But could there be a fourth? The earliest records I have found which I can identify as being for this Szmul are from 1817 and 1819, where he is simply Szmul IZRAEL&...

TwentyOne Seven: June 2014
http://twentyone-seven.blogspot.com/2014_06_01_archive.html
Roots Notes - jottings on my own family histories, on Jewish genealogy, on genealogy in general, and on ways of telling our family stories. Monday, 2 June 2014. On the Frankenstein Trail. Amongst our discoveries have been a stash of documents shut away in a cupboard in Tel Aviv for 30 years, including a letter written in Yiddish that no-one could read. We've now had it translated, and it is mortifying, the saddest letter I ever hope to read. We are now at the point where we have four Frankensteins, Tauba...

Roots Notes - jottings on my own family histories, on Jewish genealogy, on genealogy in general, and on ways of telling our family stories. Tuesday, 15 October 2013. There I was, at the Blowzabella. Do the other night, pretty much minding my own business, soaking up the music and sipping down the London Pride, when I was accosted by this woman asking "are you Michael"? Well I couldn't real ly deny it, especially when she said "surname Shade? Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile. Why Did M...

TwentyOne Seven: September 2012
http://twentyone-seven.blogspot.com/2012_09_01_archive.html
Roots Notes - jottings on my own family histories, on Jewish genealogy, on genealogy in general, and on ways of telling our family stories. Wednesday, 5 September 2012. Finding more new cousins. Four weeks ago I found some Shreibmans. Two weeks on, and I've found some Frankensteins. And which was the 'genuine' family name? Or rather, next to nothing. Now this being the 21st Century, the Gombiner Society in the US has a web-site. On the web-site I came across a reference to a 'Raymond Boll'. Promising!
