I'm looking for any records relating to my ancestors who lived in
Wielun, Poland until 1939. I've tried some Jewish geneaology databases
to no avail but couldn't find any that match the time period I'm
looking for, and certainly none with the names needed. If you can give
me a link to an appropriate database, that would be great. If you
actually can find specific records, I will acknowledge that
accordingly in the tip.

If you think you could find specific records for a higher price,
please say so in the comments and I'll ask again with a fitting price
point.

Specific records include any of the people below with last name Berkowicz: 
*Parents: Daniel - b.1885, Brana (her mother: Aida)
*Children: Reuben Yaakov, Berek, Ruth (married Aler, child named
Zigmush), Dora (married Abram Goldbart, had two children), Esther,
Meyer, Adele, Abram (b. 1927), Zigmush
*Cousins: David (b.1913), Yitzchak, Wolf

Request for Question Clarification by mwalcoff-ga on 22 Jan 2005 21:13 PST

What kind of records are you looking for?

I've found data on four of your relatives' locations in the Lodz
Ghetto during the war. I've also found some information on relatives
from the mid-19th century and the names of some other people looking
for information on your family?

Will that suffice, or do you need more information?

Since the user never responded to my clarification request, I'll post
the information I found here:

Hello,

I was able to find some information from the JewishGen website. Some

Schlosser (locksmith)
Berek: Born 8/17/11, recorded in Lodz Ghetto 12/24/42. Ghetto
addresses: Muhl Gasse 16 Flat 6, Franz Strasse 36. Occupation:
Telefonen?
Izak (Yitzchak?): Born 7/6/11. Ghetto address: Am Bach 5 Flat 5.
Occupation: Tischler (carpenter).
Jakob Wolf: Born 9/16/08. Recorded in ghetto 7/15/1943. Ghetto

Mid-19th century records for the family in Wielun are available at
Jewish Records Indexing -- Poland (http://www.jewishgen.org/JRI-PL/).

You can find the name of other Wielun Berkowicz researchers at the
JewishGen Family Finder
(http://data.jewishgen.org/wconnect/wc.dll?jg~jgsys~jgff~~WIELUN~POL~ST~ALL~~).
