Re: Berlin Jewish Directories 1929, 1931

Thanks for these requests. Regarding the 1929 edition at LBI, the resolution of the online scans is too low to get good OCR accuracy. However, if high-resolution scans were made from the original or photocopies at LBI, they might work. The 1931 edition at ZLB is already searchable, together with man...

Re: Last name TOR, from Komarów Kadlubiska Poland

There are several places in Poland called Kadlubiska, but only one is near a Komarow, as far as I can tell. That is Komarow-Osada, about 3 mi southwest of a Kadlubiska, in Zamosc County, Lublin Voivodeship. This Komarow and Kadlubiska were part of Galicia only during 1772-1809, after which they were...

I am currently trying to acquire more directories for Ukraine, from both before and after 1917. This ...

Re: Searching for Mayerowitz

Some territory that is today in Ukraine was formerly in Poland or the Austro-Hungarian province of Galicia. Currently, when you restrict the geographic scope of your search by changing "Any Place" to "Ukraine," results will NOT include directories classified under Poland or Galic...

Re: Looking for 1914 Grodno doctor

There is no way to copy text directly from the image. Even if there were, you would be copying OCR output, which often has errors that wreck machine translation. In this image, you can see that the OCR software mistook the л for Т because part of the ink has worn away, disconnecting the left stroke ...
