Hello
Whilst at Mums at the weekend she produced a box of menus that belonged to my Grandfather. He was a chef all his working life right up to the year before his death when he was 75.
Apart from all the real 'nuggets' that relate to my Grandfather (he wrote poems on the back of a lot of them) I found this wedding menu
For .... Gertude Servian and Maurice Myer Craingold.
The wedding fare included Hors D'Oeuvres a la Russe, Vermicelli, Pigeons aux Champignons, Dinde Langue de Boeuf, Asperges sauce au Beurre, Pouding Anglais etc .... quite a posh wedding it would seem
If any one would like to claim it then let me know by PM
Regards

What a lovely thing to have-and very generous of you to "offer" it.
No ancestor of mine unfortunately!
Just had a little look around for further information which may assist anyone in claiming it.
There are these deaths
Maurice Craingold
b. 14 July 1897
died Feb 1985
age 87
manchester
38 1114
and strangely
Israel myer Craingold
b. 14 July 1897
died Feb 1985
age 87
Manchester
38 1114
mistranscription?
also
Death
Gertrude Craingold
b. 2 may 1904
died Aug 1992
age 88
38 852
Manchester
the only birth i can find which "ties in"
Bertha Gertrude Servian
Junqtr 1904
West Derby
The Servian's in Liverpool seem to descend from Russian/Polish and were Glaziers and Picture frame makers.
There is also on GenesReunited a Michael who is researching
Bertha Servian b. 1904 Lancashire
may jog someone's memory??

In 1928 there was a Maurice CRAINGOLD, chemist, at Cheetham Hill Road, Manchester.

I have just seen the message posted in May 2007 about the wedding menu of my late aunt Gertrude Servian and Myer Craingold. I would like to obtain this for their two daughters, my cousins. They stlll live in Manchester and are now grandmothers. Could Cal241 get in touch about this, or whoever has the menu now. I have been researching the Servian family for over ten years and this would make a fitting present for Gertrude's family.

I should be grateful if Suzard could contact Cal241 for me. Thanks.

I will log in tomorrow after I get back from work to see latest update! Meanwhile I have contacted my two cousins about it and await their reply! They can both be reached by email. I am sure they will be thrilled - only this weekend I was asked to research Myer Craingold's ancestry by my cousin. His real name was Israel hence the conflicting records Morris/Myer etc. Re Servian's they came from Lake Serwy in NE Poland in about 1875 to Liverpool. One branch stayed in Liverpool (mine) - the other went to Chicago in 1905. I have just come back from an international genealogical conference in Chicago where I was able to make further discoveries. But this is wonderful.

Someone has -hope its you!!!

I am really excited for all of you

Hi all
It would seem that when I try to log on anywhere except on my old groaning PC I can't post.
My old groaning machine crashed last night ... so frustrating >:(
Torquay as you know we have made contact .. and thank you for your e mail this evening.
Suz thanks so much for the nudge.
It is right & proper that the menu goes back to the family, that was my main reasoning for posting about it..... & I so love family history because if you wait long enough after posting things you do get responses.
I have had a few responses after posting 5 years ago on other sites.. I got together with Prue M after leaving a post a long old time ago.... it turns out she is the gg grand daughter of my grandfathers sister and we have had an amazing exchange of family information.
So after 81 1/2 years the menu is going home
Torquay I will be in touch
Cal :)
