Life / An Indian wants to convert to Christianity in Poland [60]

Hi, Am an Indian , what documents or procedure to get convert to christian in Poland? or i need any documents to get from India?

Thanks

It's not about getting documents, etc.. As cliche as this sounds (and I'm sure that you've heard this several times), you need to make sure that you know that Jesus Was, Is, and Is To Come; is the Word of God and God Become Flesh, Part of the God Head (One In Three--Father, Son, and Holy Spirit), and God the Son Who died and rose to conquer sin and death. You also need to understand that Jesus came through the chosen people (the Jews) and came for the Jew first, then equally for the gentile--so that no Anti Semitism in Christianity is allowed.

Genealogy / Szamovo or Szumowo? I Can't Tell Where He Was - maybe in Poland? [10]

"Danilewicz" is listed there. Besides, it's Suwałki town, and they lived in Lipsk.

Thanks for letting me know that.

As well as a tiny village named Sumowo near Suwałki, Poland

However, based on Google maps and distance to Antwerpen, I'm going to guess that he was in Szumowo. Besides, there was a known Jewish community there.

History / You Know that Poland Was "Polin" and "Polinyah"? [6]

So Polanie, Polska, isn't "land of the Poles (Polans, a tribe of people, the field-dwellers, if you will)"?

Not in Hebrew. Remember that it was taken as a good sign for "Polska" to translate into "Polinyah".

History / You Know that Poland Was "Polin" and "Polinyah"? [6]

Poland, before 1939, was called "Polinyah" by Eastern European Jews. Poland, before 1939, was called "Polinyah" by Eastern European Jews. Polinyah meant "Here Lies God," it was the land of the most incredible Jewish community in the world. It housed hundereds of thousands of Jewish people thriving and living equally. But walking through the streets of Krakow, Lublin and Warsaw, and ghostly pacing through the death camps of Majdonik and Auschwitz, Polinyah should be translated into "Here Lies God's Ashes"....

All in all, I didn't leave Poland with hatred. In fact, when not focused on the destruction, I really like Poland. Especially Krakow, there was something about that city. I understand why so many Jews had settled there before. There was a lot of culture, including a 1,000 person pillow fight, which was quite a sight to see. But I can't say I wasn't happy to go back home.... I know that what Poland taught me the most was how to appreciate. How to appreciate life, Judaism, the stories, and above all: Israel.

Some Jewish historians say the Hebrew word for 'Poland' is pronounced as Polania or Polin in Hebrew.[/quote]
Same with my ancestors in Lipsk (which is why I'm, in a way--though I shouldn't be--baffled by some of the Anti Semites and other naysayers here)--we don't begrudge that we dealt in Polinyah during the Diaspora. We could have had the misfortune of being in Russia Proper, Belarus, Ukraine, Lithuania, Moldova, etc. (all of whose website domains I honestly try to avoid, by the way--I don't avoid .pl because Poland is generally good about Jewish and other human rights, and has been throughout history).

News / Why are Czechs more effective than Poles and Poland? [116]

Yeah, so the Anglo-Americans don't have to bother learning a second language... :)

To be fair, nonetheless, many Anglo Americans and other Anglophones do learn a second or even third, fourth, fifth, etc. language. For example, I know some Spanish (having studied Spanish in high school and college), and some Hebrew and Yiddish (incidentally, I quickly typed "high school" as "high shool" at first).

My 2 cents

- Plenty of Jews had Non-Jewish names. Go look on JewishGen. You're find a Yulyan Chernetski, one who may perhaps be my cousin.
- The farm may have been in the family before the Russians co-opted that part of Poland. They lived in small-town Lipsk nad Biebrzą, after all.

- Yes; and they were christened during the pogroms (Great-Granddad) and after they immigrated to the U.S. (Regina, Alexandria Alice the Second, Cecelia, and the boys besides Great-Granddad). Before that, they had been Jews but became equivalents of "marranos" during the pogroms--in fact (long discussion), the first Anusim were Ashkenazic Jews.

- Only one male relative, and on another side, has agreed to take and has taken one.

I'm going to hazard a guess and say that he was in Szumowo ("Somovo").

His most-recent Ellis Island Record (November 7, 1904) says that he resided in Somovo, Russia; but the naturalization record states, "I emigrated to the United States from ??? Belarusia(?)." Remember that he claimed to be a Polish Lithuanian to hide his Jewishness.

Whoops. It said "Antwerp, Belgium". Nonetheless, he was in a Somovo.

I emigrated to the United States from ??? Belarusia(?).

However, his record says that he was in Somovo, Russia and was Lithuanian (which even the naysayers here know is bull-you-know-what). I have a cousin working to help me with this as well.

Genealogy / Is Czarnecki Really A Polish Or Actually A Sephardic Jewish Surname? [110]

rybnik

a physician yes, rich no.
I work in a prison. you know the government pays sh*t.

Oh. Meanwhile, I did ask my mom (That's what I get for her putting me through college and me being on SSI.), and she said that I could send something. G-d willing, I'll write something to send to the Suwałki registry offices tomorrow.

Genealogy / Is Czarnecki Really A Polish Or Actually A Sephardic Jewish Surname? [110]

I'm really confused if your Cousin Mia told you that you are a psycho why would you continue to phone her if you are ignoring each other?

None of this makes sense Czarnecki is a Polish name not a Spanish name.

We're not talking at all. She unfriended me on Facebook, and I let that be. I did tell people to boycott her as a fashion designer, though--and I've also asked people to boycott another rude and perhaps-insidious cousin--when my family has done wrong, I'll remind them of it if need be; and I remind myself when I've done wrong.

Meanwhile,

It cost me about 7 bucks last time I mailed a letter to Poland. That was one correspondence, and she would probably have to send several. She claims that she isn't in prosperous enough circumstances to bear that out. That's her answer, so be it.

I actually don't mind explaining why I'm so poor. one can't be too rich when he or she is on SSI Benefits and has Cerebral Palsy, and has a single mom who is trying to put two people (me included) through college. I actually did resist being on SSI for a while, but I figured that my SSI application would at least leave some genealogical information for posterity--e.g., my sister's to-be children and their to-be children (G-d willing), if they ever get access to it.

Genealogy / Is Czarnecki Really A Polish Or Actually A Sephardic Jewish Surname? [110]

what does that mean?

It means that I'm waiting on G-d to work it out. "Give me a revelation; show me what to do...". You know, G-d's helped me find and revealed things before.

Good old fashioned snail mail would be much more effective methinks. The trick is that official correspondence coming in has to be filed, recorded and dealt with according to procedure, while email is still a sort of gray area and is quite easy to delete if it lands in the wrong inbox, i.e. in the inbox of someone who for whatever reasons cannot or will not help you.

As I said, I don't have that kind of money.

BTW, the surnames Morgiewicz and Andrulewicz also show up rather strongly near Sejny and Suwałki, while the Czarneckis are equally distributed all over Poland. So do it, get in touch, because they won't - the probably have no idea of your existence.

I tried getting in touch a few times, I think--incidentally, though, Mia added me; and I confronted that KKKesque cousin. So, I'm depending on G-d wills at this point:

Not really. I just don't have the Polish "ł" on my keyboard; and anyway, I don't have the money or other resources to get anything from Poland myself. Besides, my cousin Mia hates me and we're not talking (She hates me because I dared to mention that she, I, and Pop-Pop are related--"You are ******* psycho!"). So, besides my cousin Kevin Fosko and other family who can and will help, I haven't much to go on. Every day, I wait for some revelation about that side of the family--that is, the family in Poland, etc..

History / Poland and Polish Anti-Semitism, c. 1918-1939 [148]

Instead of arguing with me can you just do what I asked.

I'm not arguing; I'm just saying that by perverting those Scriptures, he gave us a glimpse into Polish Anti Semitism in between the World Wars. The Khazar Theory really started picking up by then.

History / Poland and Polish Anti-Semitism, c. 1918-1939 [148]

I know that, and he's not making it about Scripture: he's making it about a perversion of Scripture and giving us a glimpse into where the Khazar Theory, which at least some Poles believed, came from.

History / Poland and Polish Anti-Semitism, c. 1918-1939 [148]

this topic is not about scripture,let's not let it turn into one.

I know where he's going, and I myself don't like it: he's saying that we Ashkenazic Jews are fake and impostor Jews. Revelation 2:9 and 3:9 specifically apply to British "Israelis" (e.g., Hebert W. Armstrong) and Black "Hebrews" (e.g., F.S. Cherry, W.S. Crowdy). That he brought that up actually relates to the topic, because here a Pole (radical) took what began as British Anti Semitism in the 1700s (by Colonel Richard Brothers) and inspired Black "Hebrew"ism (abt. 1877-present) and other Khazar Theories (which at least some Poles did take as their own in the 1900s).

I doubt it. We had the farm in Lipsk; and I did look at Magdalena(?)'s map one time, and only one Daniłowicz family lives in Poland now according to that map. So, that means that my Daniłowicz family has since made aliyah or immigrated to the US and other countries (as did my estranged cousins' family did--my cousins are Mia, Sophia, and Anna Daniłowicz), and the Chernetskis, Morgiewiczes, and Andrulewiczes who cared about staying religiously Jewish and/or otherwise connected to their Jewish roots would have (if they survived the Holocaust or even before the Holocaust) made aliyah along with the Daniłowiczes who did--or if they immigrated (aliyah being different than immigration), they sure wouldn't have cared to stay in touch with us.

The last time that the family who stayed in Poland and survived the Holocaust made contact with us was, as Granduncle Tony said, in the 1960s to request that the rights of the farm deed be returned to them.
