In a message dated 11/2/2010 1:24:43 P.M. Central Daylight Time,
Hi Jeff. I appreciate your mentioning the importance of the family genetics to our health histories.
Regarding Fritz Siegal and his wife Marijane Carr, if anyone is interested in knowing more about their family, please see Marijane's book Our Grandmothers which was published August 2009 by Anundsen Publishing, Decorah, Iowa.
The book is a compilation of Marijane's 40+ years of research into her family's history. There aren't any copies left for sale, but as you have mentioned before, there is a copy available at the Newberry Library in Chicago. There are also about 20 other libraries around the US with copies. If anyone is interested in the library locations, I would be happy to provide a list.
Marijane and Fritz are linked to our Goodlove family by marriage and social relationships. Marijane's mother, Lucille (Butcher) Carr had two 1st cousins who married Goodlove sisters: Kenneth Armstrong married Ethel Goodlove. His brother Hillis Armstrong married Wilma Goodlove. All of the families were residents of Linn County, Iowa and stayed in contact over the years even when Lucille moved to the Chicago-area after her marriage. The next generation of the three families also maintained close relationships, sharing an interest in family history!
As ever,
Linda
Linda, thanks for your informative letter. Fortunately I have my copy. I recommend it to anyone with an interest in these family lines. I am glad that it is at the Newberry, one of my favorite library's. By the way, did the family ever live in Geneva or Batavia or was that my imagination? Also, could you send me of list a library's that "Our Grandmothers" is at? Jeff
This Day…
First Century A.D: • The Babylonian Talmud preserves a complaint about the conduct of the High Priestly families of the first century A.D.:
• “Woe is me because of the house of Boethus; woe is me because of their staves! Woe is me because of the house of Hanin (Ananus); woe is me because of their whisperings! Woe is me because of the house of Kathros (Cantheras); woe is me because of their pens! Woe is me because of the house of Ishmael the son of Phabi; woe is me because of their fists! For they are High Priests and their sons are Temple treasurers and their sons-in-law are trustees, and their servants beat the people with staves.”[1][1]
•
• November 66: Ananus, the only High Priest who had dared open defiance of Rome before 66, is not mentioned by name in connection with the High Priests’ efforts to check the revolt at its inception. But when the encouragement of the Jews’ initial victory over Cestius Gallus at Beth Horon in November 66 had strengthened the hands of the war party,k he was one of the two generals elected to organize the defence of Jerusalem, and Josephus speaks of him in terms which imply that, unlike many of his class, he was not pro-Roman.[2]
• Phineas (or Phanni) son of Samuel is high priest. In the winter of 67-68 they deposed the High Priest, who, as the nominee of Rome’s ally Agrippa and a member of the peace party, was unacceptable to them, and replaced him by a wholly unworthy successor, a humble and dim-witted priest without High Priestly connections, whom they unconstitutionally appointed by lot. The popular indignation at this degradation of the holy office was canalized by Ananus and another ex-High Priest, Jesus son of Gamaliel, now his colleague in the command.[3]
• In an oration inciting the people against the Zealots Ananus spoke primarily as an ex-High Priest, concentrating on the sacrilege involved in the irregular appointment. But during the fighting which followed, a development was revealed in the attittude of the High Priest’ party towards war with Rome.
•
• 68-69 : Galba emperor.[4]
• 68 A.D.: Rome came and destroyed Qumran.[5]
November 6, 355: Roman Emperor Constantius II promotes his cousin Julian to the rank of Caesar, entrusting him with the government of the Prefecture of the Gauls. Constantius II followed the pro-Christian and anti-Jewish policies of his father, Constantine The Great. Julian would follow his cousin as Caesar and enter history as Julian, the Apostate. Julian was a Pagan who sought to reverse the Christianizing policies of his two predecessors. He reversed the rules against the Jewish people and was reportedly planning to allow them to re-build the Temple; a plan that was aborted by his assassination.[6]
November 6, 1095: At the Council of Claremont, Pope Urban II summoned Christians to retake the Holy Land from the Moslems, alleging that they destroyed Christian holy places. A combination of religious, economic and social motives resulted in the overwhelming response that became known as the First Crusade. The Pope formed an army headed by special knights (i.e. Raymond, Godfrey, etc.). A "people's" army also joined, encouraged by Peter the Hermit and other local clerics. There would eventually be a total of eight Crusades, but only the first four were of any real significance. The Crusades meant death and destruction for the Jews of Europe and the Levant. The “People’s Army” would lay waste to the Jewish communities of Germany and Austria as they marched across Europe. After all, why wait until they got to Palestine to kill the enemies of Christ when they were living right there in Europe? Of course, plundering and pillaging the Jews of their wealth was just an unexpected benefit of religious zeal.[7]
Novmeber 6, 1494: Birthdate of Ottoman Sultan Suleiman the Magnificent. By 1517 the Islamic Ottoman Empire, ruled by Selim I, took Palestine from the Egyptian Mamelukes. Suleiman was so taken with the city of Jerusalem and its plight (having suffered centuries of neglect under Mameluke rule), that he ordered the construction of a magnificent surrounding fortress-wall that still stands around the Old City. He reigned from 1520 to 1566. There is not room here to acquaint you with all of the military and cultural accomplishments of the Ottoman Empire’s longest serving sultan. Like many living under his rule, the Jews benefited from his policies. The Ottomans had taken Palestine from the Egyptian Mamelukes three years before he came to the throne. Sulieman was so disgusted with the effect of Mameluke neglect of the city that he built “a magnificent surrounding fortress-wall that still stands around the Old City.” “Suleiman was renowned as a just and fair ruler, choosing his subordinates according to merit rather than social status or popularity. In 1553 Suleiman declared a law to stop the persecution of Jews via Blood libels, decreeing that all accusations of the slaughter of Christian children by Jews be referred to the Imperial Divan where the courts would expose these lies. The preparation of the law included the input of Moses Hamon, a favorite doctor and dentist of the Sultan. Another symbol of the Muslim-Jewish tolerance was the building of a synagogue and mosque which was built by Suleiman.”[8]
George Washington Diaries while on canoe trip with 6th great grandfather William Crawford and 5th great grandfather William Harrison in 1770:
November 6, 1770: In about 5 Miles we came to Kiashutas Camp & there Halted.
November 6th., 1770: —We left our encampment a little after daylight, and after about five miles we came to Kiashmuta’s hunting camp, which was now removed to the mouth of the creek, noted October 29th, for having fallen timber at the mouth of it, in a bottom of good land. By the kindness and idle ceremony of the Indians, I was detained at Kiashuta’s camp all the remaining part of the day ; amid having a good deal of conversation with bin on the subject of land, he informed me that it was further from the mouth of the Great Kenhawa to the fall of the river, than it was between the two Kenhawa’s ; that the bottom on the west side, which begins near the mouth of the Kenhawa, continues all the way to the falls without the interposition of hills, and widens as it goes, especially from a pretty large creek that comes in about ten or fifteen miles higher up than where we were; that in the fork there is a body of good land, and at a considerable distance above this, the river Corks again at an island, and there begins the reed, or cane to grow ; that the bottoms on the east side of the river are also very- good, but broken with hills; and that the river is easily passed with canoes to the falls, which cannot be less than one hundred miles, but further, it is not possible to go with them ; that there is but one ridge from thence to the settlements upon the river above, on which it is possible for a man to travel, the country between being so much broken with steep hills and precipices[9]

George Washington to his brother John Augustine Washington:
White Plains [New York], November 6, 1776.
Whilst we lay at the upper end of York [Manhattan] Island (or the heights of Harlem) How suddenly Landed from the best accts. we cd. get, about 16,000 Men above us, on a place called Frogs point on the East River, or Sound, this obliged Us, as his design was evidently to surround us, & cut of our Communication with the Country, thereby stopping all Supplies of Provisions (of which we were very scant) to remove our Camp and out Flank him, which we have done, & by degrees got strongly posted on advantageous Grounds at this place.
November 6, 1793: The British violate United States neutrality by ordering that any ship carrying French goods can be impounded.[13]
Battle
A map showing the layout of the battlefield.
November 6, 1811: As Harrison's forces approached Prophetstown late on November 6, they were met by one of the Prophet's followers waving a white flag. He carried a message from Tenskwatawa, requesting a cease fire be put in place until the next day when the two sides could hold a peaceful meeting. Harrison agreed to a meeting, but was wary of the Prophet's overture believing that the negotiations would be futile. Harrison moved his army to a nearby hill near the confluence of the Wabash and Tippecanoe Rivers. There he camped his men in battle array, and kept sentinels on duty during the night.[14] The hill he encamped on was the site of a Catholic mission school built to educate the surrounding tribes. On the east side of the hill there was a shallow creek and the west side was a very steep embankment. Because of the nature of the position, Harrison did not order any temporary works to be created around the position as was ordinarily done by encamped armies.[15] The Yellow Jacket company, with Captain Spier Spencer in command, was posted on the southern end of the camp perimeter. The rest of the militia formed a rectangular formation along the edges of the bluff surrounding the camp. Colonel Davis Floyd commanded the militia units guarding the steep bluff on the eastern side of the formation. The regulars, commanded by Major Rodd, and the dragoons, commanded by Maj. Joseph Daviess and former congressman Captain Benjamin Parke, were kept behind the main line to serve as a reserve.[9][16]
The Prophet's followers were worried by the nearby army and feared an imminent attack. They had began to fortify the town, but the defenses were not yet completed. During the evening, the Prophet consulted with the spirits and decided that sending a party to murder Harrison in his tent was the best way to avoid a battle. He assured the warriors that he would cast spells that would prevent them from being harmed and confuse the Americans so they would not resist. The warriors then moved out and began to surround Harrison's army looking for a way to sneak into the camp.[16] Ben, an African-American wagon driver with the army had deserted during the expedition. He agreed to lead a small group of warriors through the line to Harrison's tent. During the late night hours he was captured by the camp sentries, taken back to the camp and bound. He was later convicted of treason but pardoned by Harrison.[15][14]
November 6, 1834: The Jews of Austria were forbidden to have the first names of Christian saints.[15]
November 6, 1860
Abraham Lincoln is elected 16th President of the United States.[16] The message of opportunity and defense of the Union represented by Lincoln and the recently created Republican Party resonated positively with many Jews. As President, Lincoln took action to make the Jews feel like “first class” citizens. In 1862 he signed an act of Congress that required Army chaplains to be Christian ministers. Now, Rabbis could officially serve in this position. Lincoln also rescinded General Grant’s notorious Order #10 that barred Jewish merchants from operating in the military theatre under his command. [17]
November 6, 1861: Jefferson Davis is elected President of the “permanent” Government of the Confederacy, running unopposed, during the Civil War.[18]
Sun. November 6, 1864
in camp all day went to church at
night in martinsburg[19]
November 6, 1888: Ancestor and Republican Benjamin Harrison defeated Grover Cleveland in his bid for re-election. Cleveland won the popular vote, but Harrison won in the Electoral College. In 1890, word reached the west, that Czar Alexander III was planning additional punitive measured aimed at making the lives of Russians Jews even more miserable. Harrison received a personally received a petition from a committee of prominent Americans (including the Chief Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court and leading Christian ministers) urging him to act on behalf of the Russian Jews. “The petitioners called for the first international conference "to consider the Israelite claim to Palestine as their ancient home, and to promote in any other just and proper way the alleviation of their suffering condition." Years before the first Zionist Congress, they were calling for a Jewish home in Palestine. Harrison instructed Secretary of State James G. Blaine to contact the U.S. Ambassador in Moscow and express United States’ displeasure with any measures aimed against the Jews. Despite the urging of Harrison and others, the Czar acted ordering the immediate removal of Jews from Moscow, St. Petersburg and Kiev, using violent force if necessary.[20]
November 6, 1891: On board Convoy 50 was Leizer Gotlieb born November 6, 1891 from Russie, (Russia), and Charles Gottlieb, born May 13, 1898 from Fulda, Germany. [21]
The routine telex, dated March 4 (XXVc-211), was signed by Rothke. It annoced to the recipients, among them Eichmaann, that on the same day 1,000 Jews left the station at Le Bourget/Drancy (see section below on destination) for Cholm, the word Auschwitz is crossed out, under the supervision of Lieutenant Ott.
One deportee, Jacob Silber, escaped from this convoy. His escape and transfer to Auschwitz after drecapture are related in documents XXVc-216 and 220.[22]
Convoy 50 took close to a thousand people, some to Maidanek and the great majority to Sobibor, the former for immediate killing and the latter for slave labor. Indications are that most were killed at Sobibor; only four people from this convoy were alive at the end of the war. Convoy 50 included 10 children.[23]
November 6, 1928: Republican Herbert Hoover from Iowa was elected president, beating the Democrat candidate. Alfred E. Smith. Smith was a Catholic, but he received a large Jewish vote. What counted in America was that the he was from New York which had a large Jewish population and he espoused programs that appealed to the working class and newly enfranchised immigrants. This was the profile of the large mass of Jewish voters. In a strange quirk of history, the conservative Quaker from Iowa would appoint Benjamin Cardozo, a liberal Jew from New York, to the Supreme Court. Hoover viewed this as such an unremarkable act, that he covers it in one paragraph in his multi-volume autobiography.[24]
November 6, 1937: Mussolini gave Von Ribbentrop, the German Foreign Minister, his approval of Hitler's plans for Austria. "Let events (in Austria) take their natural course. He was giving his approval to the German annexation of Austria which would take place in 1938. The annexation would prove to be quite popular with most Austrians, a fact they tried to soft-peddle after the war. For the Jews of Austria, the Anschluss meant they were now under the control of the Nazis and their racial laws.[25]
November 6, 1938: First anti-Semitic attack over the radio in the U.S. was broadcast.[26]
November 6, 1941(16th of Cheshvan, 5702): This was the second of two successive days in which the Nazis took Rovno, Ukraine, 17,500 Jews to the forests at Rovno in the Ukraine and ordered them to dig five large pits. In the bitter cold they were ordered to strip and the all murdered over a two day period.
November 6, 1941(16th of Cheshvan, 5702): The Nazis massacred 500 Jews of Kolomyya, Galicia and 15,000 Jews of Rowno, Poland.[27]
November 6, 1941
President Roosevelt announces that the United States will lend the Soviet Union $billion to finance the acquisition of military supplies.[28]
November 6, 1942: One thousand Jews were deported to Birkenau from Drancy. Drancy was the the “transit camp in a Paris suburb from which 70,000 French Jews were shipped to death camps in the East. Drancy was run by the French police until the summer of 1943 when the SS took over.[29]
Convoy 42, November 6, 1942.
Convoy 42 included 478 men, 504 women, and 16 undetermined. Among them were 221 children under 18, half (113) of whom were under 12. Some were from the Paris region; the others were taken in the provinces during the mid-October roundups (see Convoy 40).[30]
On Convoy 42 was Syra Gotlib was born March 13, 1896 in Dzindow, Poland. .[31]
There were 18 sublists, reflecting the different areas people were taken from.
1. Drancy 1—90 names.
2. Drancy 2—54 names.
3. Drancy 3—13 names.
4. Poitiers—200 names. They were among the 617 Jews arrested in mid-October by the SiPo-SD commando of Poitiers (XXVc-253). The ones here were transferred to Drancy and deported with this convoy. There were families, children, and old people.
5. Haute-Saone—8 names. Seven of the people were German; all were elderly.
6. Angers –45 names. They were mainly Poles and were among the 296 people arrested in Angers in mid-October.
7. Angouleme—55 names. Among them were several children.
8. Alencon—16 names.
9. Le Creusot—25 names. Children without parents.
10. Dijon—13 names, from amonmg the 122 Jews arrested in Dijon in mid-October.
11. Chalon-sur=-Saone—8 names.
12. Le Mans—62 names. This group contained Poles and French.
13. Melun—52 names.
14. Merignac—69 names.
15. Nancy—142 names. In mid-October, 234 people had been interned in Ecrouves. This group, mainly French and Polish, was transferred to Drancy for deportation.
16. Rouen—28 names, for the most part Romanian. Some were small children.
17. Rivesaltes—94 names, mainly Germans, Austrians, and Poles.
18. Last minute departures; 16 names.
The routine telex reporting the departure of Convoy 42 is numbered XXVc-193. Composed by SS Heinrichsohn and signed by his superior, Rothke, it notified Berlin, Oranienburg, and Auschwitz that convoy 901/36 left the staion at Le Bourget/Drancy on November 6 at 8:55 AM, with 1,000 Jews for Auschwitz, escorted by Feldwebel Ullmeier. Other related docuemtns are XXVc-192 (of October 31 and November 2).
When they arrived in Auschwitz, 145 men were selected and given numbers 74021 through 74165. As with Convoy 40, this number indicates that there was no prior selection at Kosel. Eighty two women were selected and given numbers 23963 through 24044; none returned.
In 1945 there were four survivors, all men.[32]

[10] On this date GW and James Mercer appeared before the council to argue in favor of the petition presented two days earlier. The councillors allotted 170,000 acres to the officers and men of the Virginia Regiment. The remaining 30,000 acres, after being used to satisfy the claims of any more private soldiers who might apply, were to “be divided among those who have hitherto born the whole Expense, & who in all Probability must continue to do so till the full Quantity is surveyed” (Va. ExecJls., 6:438—41). The council’s answer to the petition did not please GW, but he remained determined to pursue the business regardless of the difficulties and expense involved.
[11] On this day GW appeared before the council and presented a plan that he had devised for apportioning the 127,899 acres of veterans’ bounty lands already surveyed. Although the council had set the quantity of each claimant’s land the previous year, there remained the more complex problem of giving everyone equal quality of land. The council accepted GW’s solution to the problem, authorizing the issuance of patents for the land according to his plan. But before the council rose, GW promised that if objections about the equity of distributions were raised at a meeting of veterans scheduled for Fredericksburg on November 23 or “any Reasonable time after,” he would “give up all his Interest” in the 20,147 acres allotted as his share “and submit to such Regulations” as the council might think proper (Va. Exec.Jls., 6:513—14).
