22  Glossary of People

The Glossary of People was not part of Kara's work. It's an added feature of this English edition. It does not appear in the PDF version; however it is available in HTML format at the JewishGen website or in Excel format from KME.

 

22.1  Overview

There are hundreds of names mentioned throughout the book, making it a treasure trove for Jewish genealogists. We hope this glossary will aid them in finding the names they are researching.

In its native form in MS Word, names of interest can be found in this document quite simply by doing a global search for the name. There is one drawback with this approach however. We may not be using the same spelling that appears in the book. For example, if we are looking for Cohen, we are not going to find “Cohn”, the way it is spelled in Romanian.

The search process becomes even more difficult when the document is hosted on JewishGen, with each of the 21 different chapters in a separate HTML file. That means if we are searching for Cohen we will have to do 21 searches. Using the glossary will make the job much simplier.

The glossary contains the following information:

Field Description
Surname The family name, as best we can ascertain from the Name.
Name Can contain first name, surname, occupation, place of origin or combination of the above.
Date  
Desc  
Chapter Chapter in the book where the person can be found.
Sequence# Sequence number of the entry in the book. Two people with similar names, in close proximaty in the book, may be the same person or related persons. If the entry comes from the 1898 Census (Chapter 16.6) then the sequence number is the record number as it appears in the census plus 2000. For example, the 1898 census record# 246 appears in the glossary as sequence# 2246.

By default the glossary is sorted by Surname, Name and Sequence#. However other sort orders are possible.

In the description field we have captured only small pieces of information. It's usually worthwhile to go back to the appropriate chapter/s, in which the names of interest are found, to get the full information.

The glossary contains virtually all the people mentioned in the book, including the censuses in Chapter 16.

Please note that the Census of 1898 (Ch 16.16) is being hosted, in its entirety, at JewishGen as a separate entity with different search capabilities. Nevertheless some of the information is being included in the Glossary of People to allow for unified searches. If you do find names of interest in the glossary it's recommended that you go to the 1898 Census to get the additional information.

It should also be noted that some of the people listed in the glossary were not Jewish (eg. city officials, landowners, etc). Furthermore, the glossary is not restricted to Podu Iloiaiei residents. Some of the people listed had nothing to do with this town (eg. famous rabbis, writers, etc).

Some people appear to have multiple listings in the glossary. For example:

Name Date Description Chapter
Moise Berlescu 1836, 1842 From Berlesti; proposal for taxes; litigation 7
Moisa Birlescu n/d Renters list; tax collector, signatore 16.14
Iekel Blumenfeld 1938 Community leader 7
Iechil Blumenfeld 1925 Jewish Community Constitution; committee member 16.17
Moise Iuster 1830 Municipal income 16.4
Moise Juster 1830 Business transaction 7

Notice the variations in spelling from one entry to the next.

 

22.2  Challenges in Finding Names in this Book

Some JewishGen/PoduIloaiei researchers have been disappointed not finding their ancestors in the various censuses in the book. I must caution that these censuses in their current form may not be complete. The material went through several different processes:

  1. Kara transcribing from the source documents (which themselves may have been incomplete)
  2. Printing of Kara's book
  3. Translation into English

But I wouldn't rush to any conclusions. I was also perplexed why the siblings of my great-grandparents were missing from the 1898 census, until I found other civic records showing them residing in some of the surrounding communities.

Another major obstacle in identifying ancestors is the fact that a large number of entries appear without surnames. Apparently the adoption of surnames was a rather late innovation in Podu Iloiaiei. Nat Abramowitz couldn't find his father on the census because he didn't adopt the name Abramowitz until he left Podu Iloiaiei for America.

Others were more successful in finding their ancestors amongst the non-surnamed entries such as Avram sin Moise. So look closely at all the entries.

Another issue is the fact that the letters in the Romanian alphabet do not always sound phonetically the same as they do in English. Consequently the Hebrew and Yiddish origins of many given names listed in the census may not be readily apparent. In a separate document titled “Introduction to the 1898 Podu Iloaiei Census” we have a table showing the Hebrew and Yiddish origins of many given names.

 

22.3  Dates

Code Meaning Example
C circa c 1857
B birth 1843 b
D death 1895 d
b&d birth & death 1843-1895 bd
n/d no date n/d
+ after 1843+

 

22.4  Surnames

Surnames are generally derived from one of four sources:

  1. the name of the person's father (patronymic) - eg. Abramovici, Nathansohn
  2. the person's locality - eg. Berliner
  3. the person's occupation[B-54] - eg. Tischler (carpenter)
  4. a descriptive nickname for the person - eg. Klein (small)

Many of the people listed in the census show only one name. They usually apear to be first names; however some may be surnames. And even with surnames, we can never indeed be certain that they are surnames.

Except for the 1898 census, most people in the censuses are listed by one name only and with many of these it is difficult to determine whether the name is a first name or surname. This is illustrated by the following examples.

The name David followed by one of the following:

  1. Abram
  2. Abramovici
  3. a lui Abram
  4. ben Abram
  5. sin Abram
  6. son of Abram[B-55]

In the first example, the name Abram may be a surname, however it may just be another given name for David (ie a middle name). With regards the other five examples, the question is whether they are patronymic surnames, derived from one of David's ancestors named Abram, or was Abram simply the father of David?[B-56]

The same question applies, if the name David is followed by names such as these: Berliner, Tischler, Klein. Are they surnames, derived from one of David's ancestors who was from Berlin or was a carpenter or was small? Or were these attributes of David himself?

Wherever a surname was in question, we considered it a surname. If there was no surname we put “ZZZ” in the surname field, so that it would appear at the end of the list.

  1. [KME] In a separate document titled “Introduction to the 1898 Podu Iloaiei Census” we have a list of occupations mentioned in that census, translated from Romanian into English. return
  2. [KME] Our translators usually left the words “sin” and “lui” as-is in the censuses, however in the narrative parts of the book they often translated them as “son”. return
  3. [KME] My great-grandfather is listed in the 1898 Census as “Mendel Ilie” while his brother is listed in the civic records of 1883 as “Faval sin Ilie”. We know from their tombstones, that their father was Yehuda, not Ilie. So perhaps the family was originally known by the surname “sin Ilie”, derived from an earlier ancestor named Ilie; however by 1898 the name had been shortened to “Ilie”. return
