Europe / Re: Info needed for Russian Jews.
« on: Tuesday 16 September 08 09:28 BST (UK)  »
Hi Justin,
Thanks for your input. I am going to contact the United Synagogue today. I am new to researching this side of things and get a bit lost on what to do. But I will certainly try that.
 As for my Russian, non existant. I am also going to get in contact with the NA and as you say they can only say no, nothing lost nothing gained.
I joined the JewishGen yesteryday, and still get lost on there, but will have another go when I get back.
 I know that Hymen is Russian, so at least that is a start, but where in Russia I have no idea.
This is turning out to be a real mission now.

Regards
Anne.

Hi Joyce,
I have put in tracing jewish roots and a lot of sites come up. Have had a bit of a trawl through but have to go out in a bit. If you could post the link it would be really helpful as i cant find any bmd. Again thankyou for your help. You are very kind.

regards
Anne.

Sorry I meant to say that he changed his surname to Osterley about the time of WW2, not his forename. His son was born Allan Ostrofsky, and it too was changed to Osterley as well.

Also can I be really thick and ask how you get into the Times as I cant seem to find anything.

Hi Jorose, What a star you are. Yes that is Hyman. I have just spoken to his grand daughter and she said he was eventually quite a big man in the synagogue and held the key for many years. The only thing I think strange is on the NA Naturalisation it states Liverpool. I know that he married in 1923 in Mile end old town, London. Still people did move about. Unfortunately his Nationalisation is closed for 100 years, so I wont be able to download it.
I am going to order his marraige certificate as well, and as you say it will give his fathers name as well as Millies father as well.
Thank you so much for your help.

Hi Joyce,
I had looked at that too, the only problem being that Maurice would have to be the older brother Hyman was born in 1901ish. I think that Hyman had a brother samuel and a sister Annie (from what I was told) and I have found an Annie born in England so I am ordering her certificate. These Ostrofsky's lived in Hendon in London.
Hyman went by the name Joseph and he was quite big in the Jews in London and I have googled him under this name and it make intersting reading, from when Churchill was Prime Minister.
Many thanks for your ideas though all help is appreciated. p.s. I was just told about Anne and Samuel.

I wonder if anyone can point me in a direction that could be of use. I am rying to find a site that deals with bmd in Russia, I am trying to find birth certs for Hyman Joseph ostrofsky and his wife Millie Gralnick. Both these people were Jewish and were sneaked out and to England sometime after their births, 1901 and 1905ish. There is a family story that they had been smuggled out and as Millie was very young her mother was told to keep her very quiet or she would give them away.
Hyman and Millie married in Hendon in 1926, and their surname changed to Osterley during the 2WW. Unfortunately their is no one to ask anymore about what happened.
What I wanted to know is if there are any sites that I could get their birth certificates from, or to look up siblings etc.
many thanks in advance.

Hi Paul,
It looks as if your Ezekiel was born in Ireland. That is where Ancestry has him born on the 1841, (age 47)

OK good luck. There are a couple of trees on there but not much on them. If you are a member you can email the owner of the trees. If you are not a member let me know and I will look at their emails for you and put them in a pm.

Happy Hunting
