I'm trying to find my Grandfather's (Martin Alexander) family. He was in camp with his two brothers (Kurt and Hans). Kurt died in camp and Hans was send to another camp and never saw him again. His Mother (Paula, died at camp) and his wife (Ruth) and sister (Ann), he never heard from again. I searched only websites and can not find them anywhere.

Oh thank you so much! That's definitely a neglected area :-) PM me if you have any questions! There are a lot of project box issues.... I'm trying to remove Holocaust as PM for most of them, that happened back when the Project was trying to manage every single profile, which isn't really possible. Now we manage notables. But I don't like abandoning the profiles until they look half-decent, or at least have maintenance categories on them.... so there are still alot out there!

Answer 6

Hi Elaine, i am interested in joining the project! Currently, i live in France, where i am pursuing a philosophy degree. I’ve been interest in the history of the holocaust since childhood, so i’d love to bring some kind of awareness and justice to this horrible mark on humanity’s history. I have easy access to the memorial de la Shoah, in Paris. I can speak fluently english, french and portuguese. During this summer, i am completely available, so if travels for research are needed, i’m open to it! I know the jewish community of Rome also have lots of information and registers. Regarding roles in the project, i am open to perform research, institutional communication, assistance to you or what else needed for the success of the project! If my profile interests you, please, let me know so we can sort it out.

Kind Regards,

Isabella

Answer 7

I'm definitely interested in joining. I only speak English. I have both Jewish heritage myself as well as non-Jewish heritage located in some parts of the world that may be connected.

I'd be especially interested in German, Swiss, and Russian records, and records with the family names Gordon, Rothschild, Goldblatt, Mendelso(h)n, Buchman(n), Schoch, and Marver, as that's where my own family connections lie; that being said, however, I'm up for doing work outside of those areas as well.

Answer 11

I responded to this post a few days ago and filled in source information for Ilda Zamorani and her husband Alessandro Colombo.  I logged out and when I went back into the files all information I added was missing.  Could someone check and let me know if it’s ok for me to continue working on these files, I may have done something incorrect, and may I proceed.  Also, I saved the new information and sources as I proceeded.

Any help would be appreciated

Comments

Hi Darlene- I opened the edit apge of Ilda's profile and saw you had a draft, so I did a "full save". I'm not sure how long the drafts stay in the WT system, maybe a few days) Anyway, you are good to keep going, thanks so much! You can likely cite the USC information from the Ancestry ... you can write your own citation or use Wikitree's Sourcer extension, it works great for Ancestry.ca records. WikiTree Sourcer
