JGSGB Library look-up service

In case you missed the item in the October Newsletter, we have put together a list of the reference books and records which are normally available in our Library but which Library volunteers have at home.

If you would like one of the volunteers to do a look-up for you from one of the volumes listed below, please e-mail library-lookups@jgsgb.org.uk and we will arrange for this to be done.

Please ensure that you provide sufficient information to enable the volunteer to do a search, e.g. for a marriage record, specify which record, the name of the person and a date range.

If you believe that you have volumes which are not listed below and might be helpful for researchers, please let us know at library-lookups@jgsgb.org.uk.

Secretary, JGSGB

JewishGen announcement: Dr. Dan Hirschberg - Kraków Collection

JewishGen announcement: "We are pleased to announce a partnership between JewishGen.org and Dr. Dan Hirschberg, resulting in the Dr. Dan Hirschberg - Kraków Collection.   As a result of this agreement, records that have been transcribed and compiled by Dr. Hirschberg will be made freely available to JewishGen researchers.   All of the records are from Kraków, Poland (in the Austrian province of Galicia before WWI), including Kazimierz and Podgórze (today, districts of Kraków). Thus far, more than 160,000 records have been uploaded, which include census records, vital records, marriage intentions/banns records, along with progressive and religious marriage records.   Images of most of the records are available online, although search results do not currently link to the images. Prof. Hirschberg's website ( https://www.ics.uci.edu/~dan/genealogy/Krakow ) contains many images and links to images on other websites. Vital records can also be viewed on the Polish State Archives'

From Ton Tielen and David Mendoza: David Baruch Louzada - A Sephardic Life Happy New Year! Our first talk of 2021 showcases what we can all achieve through innovative research.

Julian will discuss not just David's family and commercial life, but also his social and communal activities. David Baruch Louzada travels took him to Livorno, France, Amsterdam, and across the Atlantic to Barbados at a time when most people rarely went more than a day's walk from home. Julian's research illustrates available resources. Time: Sunday Jan 3, 2021. 2pm NYC, 7pm London, 8pm Amsterdam/Paris, 9pm Jerusalem.

Sephardic World - The Dutch Pimentel family - History and Holocaust - Sunday 10 Jan 2021

From Ton Tielen and David Mendoza: "This week we bring you three expert speakers. The Pimentel are one of the oldest Sephardic families in The Netherlands. Henk Dijkman will discuss the family history, stretching back to Medieval Spain. Fokko Weerstra tells the story of Jacques Pimentel during the Shoah. Along with some other Sephardim, he tried to use his distant Catholic ancestry to escape deportation to Poland by the Nazis. Esther Shaya discusses Henriette Pimentel - one of the unsung heroes of the Holocaust - who saved the lives of six hundred children being held prisoner at the Hollandsche Schouwburg-theatre. We are hoping to trace people saved by Henriette and their family members. If you know anyone, please forward this message.
