Hello Everyone,

I am a desendant of Zell and Lipnick family from the towns of Datnuva and
Kedania.  Are any of you from this group of families?
(datnuva is a small town about 10 Km north of Kedainia considered part of the
Kedainia towwnship. It had about 200 Jews.  The Zell family of Datnuva was
originally from Kedainia.

Thank you,
Sharon Penn

Hello Sharon and Group,

While normally I don't like to solicit on this site, I just want to tell Sharon
and remind the group of the existence of the Keidan Vital Records Translation
project. It is a LitvakSIG (Special Interest Group) project, and I am the
coordinator. We have translated more than 22,000 vital records--births,
marriages & divorces, and deaths--from Keidan, Dotnuva, Josvainiai and many
other shtetlach in the Keidan area. These are both 19th and 20th century
records. Indeed LIPNIK and ZELL are well represented in my database, as well as
SIRK (for Alan Shirk).

When one joins the Keidan Vital Records Translation project, he/she is sent all
of the records in beautifully organized Excel spreadsheets from which it is easy
to create family trees. IMPORTANT: all of the data is on your own computer; no
searches are necessary to extract records piecemeal. Membership in the Keidan
VRT project requires a $100 donation to LitvakSIG. The wealth of information
received is worth far more than the cost of membership.

If you are interested in learning more or in joining the group, please contact
me: ozabludoff at verizon.net

Maybe I'm late discovering this, but it's a lovely discovery nonetheless. The
New York Public Library has put the full text of the Keidan yizkor book on line.
It can be found here:

http://yizkor.nypl.org/index.php?id=1302

Scroll through the alphabetical listing of towns at the top of the page. Keidan
actually appears twice -- as "Keydan" and as Kedainiai.

Incidentally, I found this via Dovid Katz' interesting website
http://www.holocaustinthebaltics.com. Well worth checking out.

best to all

Andy

I'll be going to Keidan in mid June (as well as to nearby areas) and would like to find a guide there. Anybody know someone good? Who has been there recently?

Harriet Sugar Miller, Montreal
Great-great granddaughter of Max Dizun, cattle farmer from Keidan (family became Weinstein and settled in southeastern North Carolina…I couldn't take the heat)

No. It's a Russified (no 'h') spelling of "Kahan" or "Cohen"

Max,

Berl Kagan is long gone, alas. I found a reference to his passing on a 1993
edition of the Mendele email listserv. If you're searching his works I would
suggest you query YIVO, where he worked as a researcher in the 1960s. Best of
luck.

Andy

Shalom to our Keidaner Friends,
As each year, we are going to commemorate our families, murdered in Keidan on
August 28, 1941.
We'll meet on Sunday, 29.8.2010, at 17:45 at the same place - near the benches,
about 100 meters beyond the main entrance gate to the old cemetery of Holon.
From there we'll walk together to the Memorial dedicated to victims of Keidan.
Unfortunately, the majority of the first generation of survivors and founders of
our association are not with us any more and we have no addresses and/or phone
numbers of the second generation. Therefore we welcome each recipient of this
announcement to pass this information to people who may be interested to join us
and feel a part of the community.

With best regards,
Arie Shcherbakov
Secretary of the association

Shalom Arie

 I am a first generation of a survivor from Keidan, my father who emigrated to South Africa prior to the Shoah. Thank you for letting me know about the memorial. Unfortunately we live in London and won’t be able to attend but will be in Shul on 28 August. My father’s whole family perished so I am so grateful to be told of the service on 29 August.

With gratitude

Kind regards

Barbara Levin
