Subject: Hamaggid Persian famine donors list - copyright ID


Dear James,


About two years ago I gave Ed Cohler a copy of my translation of
the Hamaggid Persian Famine lists with permission to circulate them
to the members of the NW Lithuanian SIG on diskette.  You have a page of
Keidaniai Prenumerantem lists by Ed Cohler, which is actually not
prenumerantum lists at all, but actually part of my Hamaggid translation.
In fact, a corrected and edited version of the Hamaggid Persian Famine
translations is now available on-line at Jewishgen. 


However, I do like the work that you have done and appreciate that you
have been willing to share information with others, so I therefore
give you permission to use extracts from my Hamaggid Persian Famine
List Translations, for the towns of Keidaniai and Panevys, on condition
that you correctly acknowledge the source and state that the lists are
reproduced by permission on condition that they are not reproduced for
commercial purposes. Please understand that this is because a considerable
investment of time and even some money has gone into this database, and I
have legitimate control over its reproduction.  


As I had not heard from Ed in over a year, I had assumed that the
group was defunct. I am currently preparing something much more significant
for publication, namely an index to the Hamelitz donations (1893 -1903)
from Lithuanian and Latvian towns.  I have not yet decided whether to put
this on the net or to publish it in book form.  Currently there are about
14,000 records - I will publish a first version when I reach 15,000!
Incidentally, over a year ago I did supply Ed Cohler with a preliminary
copy of part of this index.


Regards and keep up the good work,

Jeffrey Maynard

Subject: Re: Hamaggid


Gayle Riley asked about the "name lists in the Hamaggid".


Hamaggid was a Hebrew newspaper that circulated in the second half of the
nineteenth century in the Pale of Settlement.  By name lists, I believe
that Gayle means lists of charitable donors, principally published in
1872.  Although Hamaggid did occasionally print lists of donors to relieve
fire victims, famine victims and so on, the significant lists were printed
in 1872 when donations were collected to relieve the Persian famine.
These collections were inspired by an appeal printed in the London Jewish
Chronicle in August 1871.



There are lists for quite a number of towns, including modest donations of
just a few kopeks.  Some town lists just include first names (such as
Yosef ben Moshe), which means the families are not identifiable.  Others
include surnames.
Members of the Litvak SIG may well be familiar with this, as I have
translated the  names from Lithuanian towns (about 6,000 names)  together
with a short article which were circulated by Ed Cohler.

Subject: Re: Q: HaMagid and HaMelitz


Hadassah Lipsius asked about the Hebrew newspapers Hamaggid and Hamelitz.
Hamelitz printed lists of donors, sometimes for relief of famine, pogrom
and fire, but mainly for the workers in Eretz Yisroel from 1893 to 1903.
During this period, Hamelitz was weekly. The lists, often whole pages of
names in tiny print, were printed erratically, apparently to fill up any
spare space!  Sometimes there are several pages in an issue, sometimes a
month goes by without long lists. 


These are available on microfilm at the NYPL.  However, searching for a
name is like looking for a needle in a haystack - they are simply long
lists of donors.


Over some years I have obtained photocopies of all these lists and have
translated those from Lithuanian towns, which I keep as a database.  There
are currently 12,000 entries, and many users of this Newsgroup have made
use of this database.  On a limited basis (no guarantee of immediate
response due to volume and shortage of time!) I am willing to look up
queries in this database if they include a surname and a town and are not
common names like Cohen.


Hamaggid printed lists on a more limited basis.  The most well-known are
the lists printed in 1872 of donations to relieve the Persian famine.
Again, I have translated these lists from Lithuanian towns, and this
database was circulated over a year ago, together with an explanitory
article, to members of the Lithuanian SIG by Ed Cohler. 


The NYPL has Hamaggid on microfilm for these earlier years, although its
catalog does not include them!!!!  I just ignored the years mentioned in
the catalog when I filled in my request form!

Subject: Re: Hamagid Indexing Project Update

Jeff Marx's Hamaggid town indexing project will obviously result in an
important and useful database consisting of a Hamaggid town index.


In his posting he lists:

"3. The Northern Lithuania SIG indexing project.  (They have indexed
Northern Lithuanian towns that appear in one year of HaMagid: 1872.)"


Just to clarify - this is NOT a town index.  I translated the names of
donors from Lithuanian towns (only!) that were printed in Hamaggid in
1871-1872 in response to an appeal for funds to relieve the famine in
Persia that was originally printed in the London Jewish Chronicle and
picked up by the editor of Hamaggid.  There are about 40,000 names that
were printed over a period of several months, of which 5,000 were from
Lithuanian towns.  I prepared this list in the form of a database which
was circulated to members of the Lithuanian SIG on a floppy disk over a
year ago by Ed Cohler.
