Language notes to keep in mind, especially when encountering spelling variations of names and places during research.

Other information: In addition to the resources linked directly from our Home Page (e.g., maps and photos), following are various sources that Dolina researchers may wish to consult. Some of these references take you outside of our Shtetlinks web, so just hit the "Back" button on your browser to return here:

  • To find the location of additional Jewish vital records from Dolina, consult the book by Miriam Weiner, "Jewish Roots in Ukraine and Moldavia," 1999, YIVO & Miriam Weiner Routes to Roots Foundation.
  • Gesher Galicia - an organization of people researching Jewish Ancestry in the former Austro-Hungarian region of Galicia.
  • new.gif (144 bytes) The Jewish Genealogical Society, Inc. (New York) website at http://www.jgsny.org has several resources of value to Dolina researchers:
  • A listing of 1487 organizations are listed in The Jewish Landsmanschaften of New York prepared by the Yiddish Writers' Guild of the Federal Writers' Project, Works Projects Administration, published by the I.L. Peretz Yiddish Writers' Group in 1938. This represents less than half of all landsmanschaften known to exist in New York. Not all of these societies have cemetery plots. Use Edit/Find on your web browser to search for "Doli" to find various spelling variations of the town name.
  • More than 10,000 Jewish burial plots in the Greater New York City area owned by landsmanshaftn (home-town associations), synagogues, family circles, fraternal organizations and labor unions. Many of these are associated with Stanislawow.  It involves data from some 100 cemeteries. The search engine allows you to type in a town name based on its current spelling (i.e., try typing in "Doli"). It displays the name of the plot (e.g., Independent Doliner Benevolent Society), Cemetery name (New Montefiore), and the exact location of the plot within the cemetery (Section 4, Block 16), and society type (landsmanshaft). At another JGSNY site there is a list of New York metropolitan area cemeteries so that you can travel to NYC and search for your ancestors' tombstones.
