mailed-by capgemini.com
Hello my name is Jeremy Schulman and Boris Ulman was my wife's grandfather. He passed away last year but I was looking at your website http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Braslaw/Braslaw.html and was wondering if you could email a copy of page 143 to me? Please let me know. I would love to see what it says. I know he was a partisan. Thanks

I am researching Zarasai district of Kaunus province and am interested
in obtaining information for my research from the
following documents covering town Braslav:
(from http://www.jewishgen.org/litvak/html/kaunas0.htm)
Breslauja (Braslav), Zarasai district (now Byelorussia) year 1889
KRA/I-49/1/16110
Breslauja (Braslav), Zarasai district (now Byelorussia) year 1889
KRA/I-49/1/19249
(from RTR Foundation)
Braslav/Vitebsk/Belarus Tax List/Tax Payers year 1894
KRA/I-106/1/6133
As far as I can tell, being a newbie to LitvakSIG and having been
frantically sieving through LitvakSIG resources, they haven't been
translated. So my first question, is there an effort underway to have
them translated and made available for public? If not, is anyone
interested in joining me to start this effort?
Thanks a lot.

How are you? This is Lisa (Listinger) Shaevitz. I am the granddaughter
of Perke Fisher and Zalman Charmatz was my great uncle. I am so happy
to have found that the book is on line. I see that there are only a
few pages that can be clicked on that we are able to read. Will the
rest of the pages be translated and made available on the web site as
well? I would love to be able to read what my grandmother and uncle
wrote. Please let me know when you have the chance.
Thank you!
actually have a book that the Breslov society put together about the
area that includes essays from the people that lived there including
my grandmother named Perle who was a Charmatz (Harmatz),my
grandfather's (Nachum) family who was a Fischer, and their close
friends the Marons'...most of it is in Hebrew but there are some
English pieces and lots of great photographs...my scanner is not
working at the present time, once it's fixed I will be more than
happy to scan some pics and text from the book and forward to you! Let
me know!
Best regards,
Lisa Listinger Shaevitz
Dear Lisa,
Would love to do the translation of your grandmothers' chapter- could
you help with it? it is very short, I attached 2 pages from it. ( It
is about her childhood in Zionist Braslav under Polish rule and the
time of the Soviet take over in 1939 until they were sent to Siberia)
If you do not speak Hebrew I could call you and translate it on the
spot and maybe you could type it? Your great uncles chapter is even
shorter and tells of the time from 1939 to after the war (just a tiny
part here; He was a soldier in the Polish army and became a pow of the
soviets in September of 1939. The family was saved because they were
sent to Siberia by the Soviets on April 14th, 1940. He was later a
soldier in the Soviet army and freed much of Lithuania)
Thanks,
Hello
Thank you so much for the quick response! I was born in New York and
although my parents spoke Hebrew to me as a child, unfortunately it's
not the greatest. I can understand, but I can't really read. But of
course my parents can translate it, since they are Israeli. I do know
the stories of my grandmother and my grandfather (Nachum Fisher-
which is not in the book (that's a love story too bad not in the
book-it saved him from the holocaust he chased my grandmother to
Siberia actually). But I would love to be able to read her words, and
it would be nice for it to be available on line for others to read,
who don't read Hebrew. I will try very soon (I have a 3 year old) and
I will sit down with my father or mother and I will have them
translate it and I will type it and e-mail it to you if you like.
Sincerely,
Lisa

My great-great-grandmother Liba PERGAMENT was born in Smorgon in 1850.
Sometimes after 1858 the family moved to Kobelyaki, Poltava Gubernia,
where she married my great-great-grandfather Nissan Novakovsky.  Both
Liba and her brother Louis (Yitzchak Leib) came to the US.  Louis
changed the name to GARMENT - Louis GARMENT, a former president
Nixon's advisor who recently passed away was his grandson.

5 years ago Judith Romney Wegner posted a message on
soc.genealogy.jewish saying that her husband's cousin and his wife are
researching PERGAMENT family from Smorgon.  I communicated with Judith
just now - she couldn't recall the context of that message or the
message itself.  So if there's anyone out there researching the same
family, I'd love to hear from you.

Thanks

Igor Schein
