Date: Tue, 2 Nov 1999 04:24:12 +0200 Let's start with mazal tov to Rosalyn Meadow (of the RavJG branch - a granddaughter of Baruch Bendit Pickholtz) - and her husband on the occasion of the marriage of their daughter and another to Bob Markovits of the Pittsburgh family on the birth of a first grandson. The cemetry web site has passed the 100 mark, with the addition of nine photos from Haifa and four from Cedar Park NJ. (We thank Edward Rosenbaum - not a relative - for the Cedar Park photos.) There are quite a few more photos on the way - particularly a group of about thirty taken by Buzy Hahn (my "new" third cousin) on her recent visit to Pittsburgh and NY. Buzy's visit to Pittsburgh enabled her to meet some cousins she knew long ago and some new ones as well, in addition to bringing some Pittsburgh cousins together for the first time. I met with Bernie and Hannah Pickholz who were visiting from NY and we resolved the question of the Rozdol Leviim. Bernie's grandparents were a Fuchs man who was a Levi and a Pickholz woman and the chldren got the mother's name. a summary of that meeting can be found in the letters archive. Two new additions to the ancestral biographies. No one has submitted anything to the "living people" biography page. I decided to solve the problem of privacy on detailed trees by creating a password. That way, family members can look, but those outside our circle cannot. See the tree page on the web site. The Erie PA Genealogy Society completed a mission to find sam and Eva Pickholtz who lived there some fifty years ago. We have no idea who they are and the information is on the way - apparently by surface mail. And today's post contained a summary of twenty rcords from the archives of the Viennese Jewish community - seven deaths, nine marriages and four births. Nineteen of the twenty are either new people or new information about people we know. Five of the records refer to the family we call "Vienna," including a name from an additional generation back. I'll be doing followup on that soon. The twenty records are based on their computerized records and there is more to be had from the paper files. More as it happens. Israel P.
