Tilford Bartman at the Valley of the Distroyed Communities, Jerusalem Israel, 1999. Click to see Windows Media File Website Intro movie
Hello, and welcome
to the Zabludow Memorial Website. My name is Tilford Bartman. I was born
in 1955, and I have a terrific wife and a wonderful teenage son. I created
and maintain this website as a memorial to the 400 years of Jewish history
and culture in the Shtetl (town) of Zabludow Poland. My father was born
in Zabludow in 1912, and my great grandfather Schmuel Bartnovski had a blacksmith
shop on the small Rudnia River which ran through town. The mission of this
website is to gather all the sources regarding the history, culture, and
genealogy of the Zabludow Jews. Most sources are difficult to locate, and
are in Yiddish or Polish. My mission is to make them easily accessible by
translating them to English, then to present them on the internet in a visually
pleasing form.
