“Being able to share the passion felt by entrepreneurs in our community with readers is exciting,” he said. Prior to about 1830, records were written with quill pens. While they had a somewhat idiosyncratic ink flow, quills made it easy to identify the direction of the stroke. Pointed steel nibs from England were introduced in 1830, which accentuated the spiky nature of the Gothic Current. In 1907, the broadheaded nib was invented, again giving the script a more prominent stroke direction. Over the years, Gothic script evolved somewhat differently in different regions.

Later entries frequently were added to family books. Wayne Arnold has been decorating his East Main Street home with hundreds of lawn ornaments and other holiday themed figures for over 30 years. Via social media, the Arnold family announced that this will be the last year they will light up their holiday display. One paragraph is devoted to each individual specific vital event. Civil rec­ords written in journal style sometimes are organized by year; a section for births is followed by one each for marriages and deaths. Typically, at the end of a volume, the author of the records created alphabetical indexes of births, marriages, and deaths by page and/or item number.

Consequently, depending on the region and the scribe, the same character may appear totally different. “These incidents have a significant impact, not only on the family and friends of the victim but also on the entire community. Surrey RCMP’s victim services have been engaged and are available to anyone in need of assistance,” he said. Although the Stuttgart archive attributes this record to Sulzburg , the entries do not correspond to the civil register copy maintained by the Sulzburg pastor.

Date of circumcision The name of a stillborn child, or one who had died within the first ten days of life, usually was not listed. A further level of complexity results from the variable spelling of Jewish surnames in the first half of the 19th century. At different times, the same person may have been recorded either as Levi or as Levy.

Nineteenth-century civil records for the Jews in Southern Germany are an invaluable source of information for the serious Jewish genealogist. Wayne Arnold works on decorating the front yard of his East Main Street home in North Adams on Sunday, November 15, 2020. For nearly three decades Arnold has decorated his house and yard for the holidays with hundreds of lawn ornaments and other Christmas themed light sculptures. Visitors are encouraged to walk on the property to enjoy the light show and take photos. Working on the annual project since early November, he hopes to turn on the display in early December.

The recording of some specific information was prescribed by the authorities. Separate ledger style record books extending over many years were kept by type of event. In contrast to records in journal style, many jurisdictions preferred or prescribed that civil records be kept in ledger style. Figure 3, shown on the next page, is an example of a ledger record.

Mostly cloudy skies early, then partly cloudy after midnight. The police revealed that the victim was from Brampton, adding that when officials arrived at the shooting site, they saw the woman with gunshot wounds. Life-saving measures were attempted but the woman died. He also said the couple doesn’t have any “negative police contact”, but “any time that there’s an allegation of domestic violence, police take it very seriously”, CBC News reported.

To make sense of the content of Jewish civil records, researchers need to understand the structure, history, legal basis, and fate of the records. This article focuses on Jewish records from Bavaria and Wuerttemberg, but much of its content applies also to other areas in Germany and Austria. The First Lady Student Ornament Competition is a holiday tradition that encourages students across the state to submit ornaments around a special theme. This year, the theme was “Nutcrackers,” with the winners displayed in the Great Hall of the Culture Center in Charleston, along with the other ornaments that were submitted. The First Lady Student Ornament Competition had over 280 entries, the most entries the competition has ever received.

Birth, marriage, and death registers generally followed the same style within a given community or region. Typically, registers were maintained by the rabbi in those communities that could afford one. In the absence of a resident rabbi, a Jewish parochial school teacher or a community leader was responsible for keeping the register. Nities used preprinted ledger pages in later years. Mostly, however, the column categories and their order are somewhat idiosyncratic, reflecting local customs and the record keepers’ preferences. Family and given names of the principal person and the actual date of the event always appear, but not necessarily in a consistent order.

Despite the many variations in type, structure, and appearance of Jewish civil records in southern Germany, they also share many common features. Civil records from Pforzheim to Pfersee, in fact from Bremen to Bukowina, are both very similar and also quite different. Throughout the Middle Ages, European Jews enjoyed almost autonomous family law, set by Jewish tradition rather than the state. Fischach, Bavaria, is one example, where a family book was kept until 1942.

Frequently, the clergy possessed superior penmanship, at least during the first half of the century. Sometimes a pastor would alter a Jewish-sounding given name to a more German form in his copy. These were issued by the civil authorities for a given event and person, and issued in addition to the creation of register entries. For over 30 years, the Arnold family in North Adams has been known for an extravagant Christmas display that has attracted visitors from far and wide, and cemented itself as Berkshire County tradition for the holiday.
