WINTER families from Lubaczow

 Information from Pages of Testimony.

Israel WINTER  and his wife Malke WINTER nee BEGLIEBTER were both born around 1900. 

Israel Winter was a merchant, but also a SOFER STAM -  a scribe.

The couple had three children - Avraham (born ca 1927), Berl (born ca 1930) and Chana (born ca 1933)

From the Page of Testimony we learn that Israel's parents were Avraham and Rivka Rachel. 

That means that  the father of Israel,  Avraham WINTER, had died before his grandson was born in 1927.

There was an additional WINTER family, that of a brother  of Israel WINTER,  named Selman WINTER.

Selman WINTER, born  around 1864,  was the son of Abraham  and Rachel Lea WINTER. He died in 1919 at the age of 55.

Selman might have married two sisters -  first Taube Mirla LEMPEL and then Sara LEMPEL.

With Taube Mirla LEMPEL he had his daughter Marjem WINTER in 1887.

     Marjem WINTER married Jakob Samuel KOENIG r. GOTTLIEB in 1921.

     Incredible, but true - Marjem had three sets of twins:

            Taube Mirel and Chaja KOENIG were born in 1924.

            Hersz Zysze and Salmon KOENIG were born in 1926.

            Aron Nachmen and Szymon KOENIG were born in 1928.

            Then they had a son named Moses KOENIG in 1930.

In  1892 he had married to Sara nee LEMPEL.

Selman  had the following children with Sara:

1. Hene Rifka WINTER born in 1893. 

           Hene Rifka married Nuchim Izak STERNBERG in 1921. 

           This couple had at least these four children:     

           Rudzie STERNBERG was born in 1921.

           Cypa Chana STERNBERG was born in 1923.

           Reizla STERNBERG was born in 1925.

           Juda Leib STERNBERG was born in 1927.

2. Hersch WINTER born in 1899

3. Rachel Laja WINTER born in 1900

           Rachel Laja married Dawid HALPERN in 1924.

          This couple became the parents of

           Zelman HALPERN born in 1925.

           Moses Samson HALPERN born in 1927.

4. Ryfka WINTER born in 1910, died in 1926.

5. Szymon WINTER born 1916

LEMPEL - a Levite family

 This is an attempt to collect  information about one LEMPEL family from Lubaczow.

A couple named  Isak and Sara LEMPEL must have been born around 1800 - 1810.

Isak LEMPEL was a Levite.

Samuel LEMPEL was born in 1837 and died in 1917. His gravestone  is located on Row 19, Grave 56. Hopefully  the gravestone can be photographed in the future, showing he was a Levite.

That means that Samuel's son Hersz LEMPEL born in 1878 also was a Levite as were Hersz' three sons -  Abraham Abisch LEMPEL born in 1917, Samuel LEMPEL born in 1920 and Izak in 1925.

Abraham Abisch and his brother Samuel also  had at least three sisters - Tyle Chane born in 1915, Chana Lea born in 1922 and Brancia in 1924.

Ashkenazi tradition is to name a child after a deceased relative. In this case, Samuel born in 1920 was named after his paternal grandfather Samuel LEMPEL who had died in 1917. Izak LEMPEL born in 1925 was perhaps named after his paternal greatgrandfather Izak LEMPEL.

Looking for Pages of Testimony for "Lempel, Lubaczow" I discovered that Abraham Abisch LEMPEL born in 1920  had been commemorated by his niece in Haifa in 1999 as a Holocaust victim, as had  the  mother of the siblings, the wife of Hersz  LEMPEL - Tauba Nesza LEMPEL nee FEDER born in 1891, listed on another Page of Testimony.

Here comes a puzzle. Isak and Sara LEMPEL had at least another son, Dawid LEMPEL. But that Dawid was born around  1856 and died in 1916. If  the mother was born around 1800 - 1810, she may have given birth at the age of 46 or a little older. Possible?

 Dawid married Malka TENENBAUM and they had at least two daughters:

1. Gitla LEMPEL was born 1878. She married Josef Leib MEILER.

2. Rucza LEMPEL was born in 1883. In 1918 she married Markus REIS and they had at least three children - Chana born 1920, Feiga born 1924 and Dawid in 1925. Again we see that the grandson Dawid LEMPEL born in 1925 was named after his deceased paternal grandfather Dawid LEMPEL who had died in 1916.

Is this correct?

WALZER from Oleszyce to Lubaczow

 In 1864 a boy  was born in Oleszyce to the couple Moses and Chaja WALZER.

They named him Wolf - a kinnui. Perhaps Zeev was his Biblical name, his Shem Kodesh.

From the Oleszyce birth records we discover the names of   Moses and Chaja's  children who were born in Oleszyce:

1. Nachman WALZER born ca 1853, died in 1924 in Oleszyce.

2. Dawid WALZER born in 1856, died in 1902 in Oleszyce.

3. Josef Samuel WALZER born 1858 in Oleszyce.

4. Mize (?) WALZER born 1861 in Oleszyce.

5. So Wolf WALZER born in 1864 in Oleszyce seems to have been the youngest,

When did Wolf WALZER move to Lubaczow?

In 1921 the marriage between Wolf WALZER and Scheindla FREDMAN was registered in Lubaczow. Scheindla was born in 1866 in Lubaczow,  the daughter of Samuel Joachim FRIEDMAN and Beila SEIFERT.

Considering the fact that in 1921 Wolf was around 47 years old, and Scheindla around 45 years old, my theories are that

1. either they had married much earlier with a rabbi, perhaps in Oleszyce or in Lubaczow, and 1921 was the year they registered their marriage in the civil register in Lubaczow

2. or this could have been a second marriage for both of them. Could their first spouses have died earlier?

Scheindla FRIEDMAN born 1866 was the daughter of Samuel Joachim FRIEDMAN and Beila SEIFERT (Beila SEIFERIN?).

Scheindla had a younger sister, named Hena or Chana, born in 1870 or 1874.

Hena Chana had married Dawid WEICHHOLZ from Kanczuga and they had at least one son Melech WEICHHOLZ, born ca 1904. Melech died in 1927.

Dawid WEICHHOLZ, born 1872 in Kanczuga, then is listed as a person deported  from Mecheln/ Mechelen in Belgium to Auschwitz on October 10th 1942. Had he emigrated to Western Europe  some time after the death of his son in 1927, perhaps with his wife?

Ciwie ROTTENBERG born ca 1832 in Lubaczow, daughter of Ruben ROTTENBERG and Sara STERN, married Josef Vogel in Oleszyce in 1877. 

Some thoughts:

Many of these marriages seemed to have been at least second marriages,

 F.ex. Ciwie ROTTENBERG was 45 and her husband Josef VOGEL was 65 when they married in 1877.

Juda STEINBRUCH was 39 and his wife was 38 when they married in 1903.

Mojzesz KNOPF was 54 and his wife Sara DAMPF was 44 when they married in 1903.

Chane FEINERT was 53 and her husband Abraham Leib LANGENTHAL was 53 when they married in 1903.

Jente STEIN was 43 and Jakob GELBER was 48 when they married in 1914.

It is possible that the marriages were registered in both Oleszyce and in Lubaczow.

Jakub STEINBRUCH born around 1827. Beila STEINBRUCH born around 1831.

 Some of the oldest  persons with the STEINBRUCH family name:

A person named Jakub STEINBRUCH died in 1922, 95 years old. So he was born around 1827. He was from Lukawiec.

Interestingly enough, his parents are noted in the death register as Abraham and Sara STEINBRUCH. That must mean that Jakub's parents were born around 1800.

A woman from Ostrowiec, Beila STEINBRUCH, died in 1918 at the age of 87. That means that she was born around 1831. She had been married to Mendel STEINBRUCH.

Fred MAJER was born in Lubaczow in 1922 and died in the States in 2009

Sometimes a simple Google search  for "Lubaczow" will give me another name of a person from that town.

This time it as a obituary from 2009.

Fred MAYER, born in 1922 in Lubaczow, had died, and from the text you understood that Fred MAYER was a Holocaust survivor, with many camps listed. He was liberated in Buchenwald.

His parents were listed as the late  Herschel MAYER and Esther SCHWARTZ MAYER.

It was likely, in my opinion, that the family name originally had been MAJER, and that Fred was the KINNUI, not the Shem kodesh.

From the death register and this website, I found that the spelling of the family name must have been MAJER, and Fred's father Zvi Hersch MAJER had died in 1930.

https://jewishcemeterylubaczow2015.blogspot.com/2015/03/row-4-grave-12-hersz-majer.html

Hersch Zvi's father was Efroim Efraim MAJER. Could Fred have been named after his paternal grandfather?

From the birth register of Lubaczow, we found that Hersch, written Hersz, born 1888,  and his wife Ester had at least these four children:

Rachel born 1916 

Eidla born 1917

Golda born 1920

Efroim born 1922

So from this we can verify that Fred had the biblical name of Efraim Efroim after his paternal grandfather.

Fred was only around eight years old when his father died, and his oldest sister only 14.

What happened to his mother Ester MAJER?

From a Page of Testimony submitted by Ester's daughter, Fred's sister, we learn that Ester had been murdered in the Holocaust.

Isidor SCHNEIDER born May 27th 1888 in Lubaczow

My Heritage published, as free information, a list of Jews  who tried to emigrate  from Wien, Austria in 1938/1939, with scanned cards. This list  also include persons who were born in Lubaczow.

One was Isidor SCHNEIDER born May 27th 1888 in Lubaczow. 

But who were his parents?

Two men with the SCHNEIDER name have been located at the Lubaczow cemetery.

Fischel SCHNEIDER who died in 1915, was a Levite, born around 1855.

Chaim Samuel SCHNEIDER  who died in 1924, was not a Levite, born around 1858. From this we understand that these are two different families - one Levite, one Israel.

Could one of these two men have been the father of Isidor SCHNEIDER?

Isidor had moved to Austria in 1910, when he was around 22 years old.

In 1938/1939 , at the age of  50, his professions are listed as "Religionslehrer, Kantor , Privatlehrer"(Teacher of religion, cantor and private tutor/teacher).

His knowledge of languages is impressive - German, Hebrew, English, Polish, Ruthenian (Ukrainian) Latin and some Russian.

Isidor was married to Itta nee MONHEIT and the couple had two children:

Theodor SCHNEIDER born in 1919 in Wien, Austria

Lola SCHNEIDER born in 1924 in Wien, Austria

The first application was made in May 1938 and at that time the countries the family wanted to emigrate listed: England, France, USA, Canada, Palestine.

On another application from February 27th 1939 he wrote that he intends to go to Hungary.

On the third document from July 21th 1940, the new Nazi  law of adding Israel to male Jewish names and Sara to female Jewish names, is in force. The letter is addressed to Isidor Israel SCHNEIDER.

Could I find the names of Isidor SCHNEIDER's parents?

On Geni.com I found a profile for a Mr. SCHNEIDER born May 27th 1888 in Lubaczow. 

Here his father was listed as Chaim Samuel SCHNEIDER and his mother was Laja Hudes SCHNEIDER nee ZIEGELHEIM.

His wife was listed as Ida Itta SCHNEIDER nee MONHEIT, and their children were Theodore Teddy SCHNEIDER and Lola SPRINZELES nee SCHNEIDER.

With this information I returned to this website and found the grave of Chaim Samuel SCHNEIDER.

https://jewishcemeterylubaczow2015.blogspot.com/2015/03/row-7-grave-2-chaim-samuel-schneider.html

Surname	SCHNEIDER
Given name	Chaim Samuel
Date of death on gravestone	Evening of the month of Kislev 5685	ערב ראש חודש כסלו תרפ"ה
Date of death	Nov 25th 1924 ( Death register)
Hebrew name	Shmuel	שמואל
Father’s name	Moshe Yitzchak z”l Moses Izak SCHNEIDER	משה יצחק ז"ל
Kohen/Levi
Decoration	Bookcase	ארון ספרים
Notes	Group Two: Death Register 66 years old. Born ca 1858. Son of Moses Izak and Rachla SCHNEIDER. Recheck stone to look for the name "Chaim"  before  the name "Shmuel" חיים שמואל.

This means that Isidor's father was around 30 years old when Isidor was born and that he died two years after Isidor had moved to Austria.

I have not located the grave of Isidor's mother Laja (Lea) Hudes nee ZIEGELHEIM.

Last, Isidor is a KINNUI, not a Shem Kodesh. His Shem Kodesh was Isaak Yitzchak.
