Jewish Genealogical Society of Greater Orlando is presently trying to attract speakers with knowledge of Lithuania to share part expenses, for a Guest Speaker. JGSGO has recently designed a blog web site. jgsgo.blogspot.com provides our history as a Society for Twenty Years. We have a number of members with ancestors from Lithuania and Latvia. I personally am doing research for my Great Grandfather born in Vilnius, Gubernia, 1813-1916. He had eight sons, who immigrated to the USA and South Africa. I am in search of his vital records. Joseph William Kurland served as a military General for the Duke of Curland around 1848-53.
Please let me know if you will be in this area around Dec. 2011- May 2012. Also do you have any suggestions on some sources from Cemetery’s, Birth Certificates, etc. in searching for my Great Grandfather.
Very truly,
Jerry Kurland, Acting President, JGSGO
I have just discovered your web site. I am researching my maternal grandfather, John Stohla, from the village of Dylagowa. He was the only male child in a family with many girls and his family was in the glass making business. He left as a teenager to go to Trebisov in Slovakia (Hungary) and married there before emigrating to the U.S. My brother and I visited Dylagowa three years ago but were not able to find any relatives.
I may be interested in employing you to find out more about my grandfather. Please let me know of your interest.
