Freemans, Levines of ireland? "Desperately Seeking Shulla" and her origins

[Darksecretz]

Everything looked fine until I posted this thread. The title is not in bold in my view of the threads?

It looked like an automatic function. Curious.

Lillebetta,

I think I know why now, I wasn't reading what you had wrote properly last night, (tiredness)

When you 'compile' a thread, it appears in bold, then when you post-other members see it in not bold 'per se' but dark, when they have entered that thread, like Jacky says it becomes 'lighter' in colour, this then shows you that you have 'read' it. If someone posts on it, then it goes back to being darker (for you to see that someone has left a reply).. then, once you have read it, then it goes lighter again and the cycle beings all over.

if you want something in particular to stand out in a thread title, then you can capitalise it- but not all of the thread title as then it will revert back to lower case. so a mixture is best.

should you wish to subscribe to any thread, then you need to goto 'thread tools' which is to the upper right at the top of every page, click on that and there is the option to 'subscribe to this thread', this can be a good way of 'remembering' which threads you have posted on and also help you in getting used to the forum. once you have subscribed to a particular thread, to access this, say if you have gone to work and need to to and remember where you posted, goto top right and click on 'settings' this then, takes you into your subscribed threads. (and this should also show you any new posts within those threads.)

Thanks for this explanation Julie... you have Educated Rita (Wallaby) too ! That has always had me baffled because my threads are never bold & i thought I was doing something wrong.

no problems Wal,

some things that can be blindingly obvious to some, aren't to others, if you come out of this thread and go back to Family History Research forum (this forum) then you can see the differing in thread title colours, (ie light & dark) if you have read/looked at some threads on here. I guess its all about how you look/search forums and its all a great learning curve, but, once you have grasped the basics then most forums are very similar.

lol. No problem. These diversions are part of the deal. You just never know what you'll learn!

So excited. Just got a clipping from the Belfast newsletter 1899 that lists the following people together on the last day of the Feast of Tabernacles, Sept. 27. They were honoring Lord Mayor Otto Jaffe.

Myer Levine, Samuel Freeman, Louis Berowitz, Meyer Rosenfield, J. Meyers, stewards of the ceremony. Flowers by Miss Eva Freeman. She in turn was presented with a bouquet by Master Joseph Myers on behalf of Mr. and Mrs. J. G. Meyers.

Mr. Fred Freeman presiding

And it mentions many more. I'll have to come back later to list them all. There are more Freemans/Freedman. Stay tuned.

Off to lunch with the elders for Purim.

There's a naturalisation at the National Archives - might be him?

HO 144/719/110413 Levine, Myre, from Russia. Resident in Belfast. Certificate 14336 issued 19 April 1904.

It might be worth your while buying some credits for the British Newspaper Archive, because it looks as though there are some hits for Myer Levine of Belfast:

Can't see anything for David Myer Levine, though.
