Am relatively new to genealogy but bit by bit I am finding relatives and records. It is frustrating some of the time but all that vanishes with a find which moves the research forward. Going to the conference since I now see how much more I need to learn about researching. So far am searching for STEINBERG and GEDZELMAN (likely Kyyiv) and SPIEGEL (Lagow, Kielce) and HERSCHENHOREN - HERSHORN (Nowa Slupia, Kielce) in Poland

Interested in my Galitzianer ancestors, specifically ABROMOWICZ (Radomysl nad Sanem), AUERBACH (Mikulince), BAER (Buczacz), BETT (Nisko), SCHNEIDER (Buczacz), SCHUPLER (Buczacz) as well as ROTHSTEIN(Smela, Russia--now Ukraine) and KOSMINSKY (Smela, Cherkassy).

I am researching the names WIMENITZ from Belarus and BOGUCHWAL and KLEINER from Szydlow and Lodz, Poland

I am researching Samuel L. Lewis and Flora Gesas and their ancestors from Lithuania formerly in Russia. They immigrated in the 1800's to New York City then to Southern Idaho then passed away in Chicago, ILL. I'd appreciate any help with especially the Lewis line.

I am researching Kopstein (Novogrudok Belarus), Korlitsky (Minsk Belarus), Adler (Bucharest Romania), Greenberg (Romania), Hillenbrand (Romania), Slutsky(Luben Russia), Nosovitsky (Russia), Borock (Romania) . All of these family lines moved to the United States except for Kopstein and Korlitsky who for the most part moved to Canada. I have a couple of brick walls so any help appreciated.
