Titan Casket Review

Separate ledger style record books extending over many years were kept by type of event. In 2000, Wesley Rainey joined the family business as a third-generation licensed funeral director and embalmer. The decision to change the name from Dekle Funeral Home to Rainey Family Funeral Services was made to reflect the three generations of the Rainey Family that were now all working together in service to the community.

Pointed steel nibs from England were introduced in 1830, which accentuated the spiky nature of the Gothic Current. In 1907, the broadheaded nib was invented, again giving the script a more prominent stroke direction. Over the years, Gothic script evolved somewhat differently in different regions. Consequently, depending on the region and the scribe, the same character may appear totally different. Find your state and city and browse funeral homes in the area.

Funeral and cremation planning

The laws and regulations prescribed a tabular form for the civil records. Under the Josephine laws, Jewish girls could marry only if they had completed grade school.13 Although this law may have been intended as a hurdle to marriage in order to limit the growth of the Jewish population, it had an unexpected consequence. As we know today, the health and economic achievements of families depend to a great extent on the literacy of the mothers. Perhaps Emperor Joseph II should be thanked for some of the growth of the Jewish population, and the economic and academic success of 19th-century European Jewry. These lists show the old, patronymic name in one column and the new civil name in the second column. Name adoption lists from Baden were collected by the genealogist and historian Berthold Rosenthal and now are housed at the Leo Baeck Institute in New York.

Construction had already begun on a new modern state of the art facility located on 24th Avenue and it opened in October of 2002. In 2006, at the time of his death, J.D.Rainey Sr. was the oldest licensed funeral director and embalmer in the state of Georgia. Dekle, J.D. Rainey Sr. purchased the funeral home from the Dekle Family and moved it to the 17th Avenue location in 1954 which was custom-built and state of the art for a funeral home at the time. Rainey, Jr. joined the family firm and began work as a licensed funeral director and embalmer. Over the ensuing years, the funeral home became known for its attentiveness and service to the community, and its families in their time of need. These laws applied initially not only to Austria proper but also to Bavaria, Bohemia, Galicia, Moravia, and other parts of the Hapsburg Empire.

Name adoption lists are being transcribed by Wolfgang Fritsche and are available on the Internet at www.a-h-b.de/ AHB/links_e.htm. Most Jewish genealogists researching their European ancestry eventually confront 19th-century civil rec­ords, but the variety of types and forms of such documents may be confusing. In addition, Jewish civil records vary somewhat from those of their Gentile neighbors.

Obituaries of Rainey Family Funeral Services

Betty Freeman has been on staff for over twenty years as office manager. Cliff Souther has been serving the funeral home as well for over forty years, helping in all areas of the business. In contrast to records in journal style, many jurisdictions preferred or prescribed that civil records be kept in ledger style. Figure 3, shown on the next page, is an example of a ledger record. When issued, certificates usually were additional to register entries. Birth, marriage, and death registers generally followed the same style within a given community or region.

Mostly, however, the column categories and their order are somewhat idiosyncratic, reflecting local customs and the record keepers’ preferences. Family and given names of the principal person and the actual date of the event always appear, but not necessarily in a consistent order. The recording of some specific information was prescribed by the authorities.

In the second half of the 19th century, the desire for assimilation led some German Jews to change their given names from biblical or other, typically Jewish names to names they regarded as more elegant alternatives. Sometimes the old and new names alliterated, but often they did not. Find local small businesses near you to get the products and services you are looking for. Although the Stuttgart archive attributes this record to Sulzburg , the entries do not correspond to the civil register copy maintained by the Sulzburg pastor. Prior to about 1830, records were written with quill pens. While they had a somewhat idiosyncratic ink flow, quills made it easy to identify the direction of the stroke.

Sometimes a pastor would alter a Jewish-sounding given name to a more German form in his copy. These were issued by the civil authorities for a given event and person, and issued in addition to the creation of register entries. This industry comprises establishments primarily engaged in preparing the dead for burial or interment and conducting funerals (i.e., providing facilities for wakes, arranging transportation for the dead, selling caskets and related merchandise). Funeral homes combined with crematories are included in this industry.

The funeral service is an important point of closure for those who have suffered a recent loss, often marking just the beginning of collective mourning. It is a time to share memories, receive condolences and say goodbye. A further level of complexity results from the variable spelling of Jewish surnames in the first half of the 19th century. At different times, the same person may have been recorded either as Levi or as Levy. The same is true of Cohn, Cohen, and Kahn; Schnaddicher and Schnaittacher, and Buttenwieser and Buddewiser are used interchangeably.

Typically, at the end of a volume, the author of the records created alphabetical indexes of births, marriages, and deaths by page and/or item number. Depending on how well the rabbi did know German, the initial death record also may have been written in Hebrew, with the date given in both Hebrew and Gregorian notation. Unlike vital records and name adoption lists that document specific events, the Matrikel , another document of value to genealogists, recorded a family’s composition at a certain point in time or, sometimes, over extended periods.
