his is just a theory:
As you may have seen from my last post, I have been wondering if Samuel
WEINRATH originally came from Lubaczow. There was another WEINRATH family in
Lubaczow but could they have been distant relatives. After the Holocaust that family
often used a different spelling of the family name.
Today, looking through the birth registers for Lubaczow, I found some information
that made me wonder if Samuel WEINRATH had a sister named Biene WEINRATH.
In his first marriage to Rozalia Reisel, Samuel had no sons, so he could not honor
any of his male ancestors by passing on their given name.
In his second marriage to Chaja Tauba , he named his first son Szama Abraham
WEINRATH. Szama Abraham was born in 1926.
The year before, in 1925, another Szama Abraham was born in Lubaczow to
Boruch KRAUTSZTENGIEL (KRAUTSTENGEL? KRAUTSTÄNGEL?) and Biene
WEINRATH.
Could it be that Samuel and Biene were brother and sister, and that their father or
grandfather was Szama Abraham (WEINRATH?) and that he had died before
1925?
Boruch and Biene had a daughter in 1927, a daughter they named Malka Reisel.
Then Boruch and Biene may have left Lubaczow as I see no other traces of
this family there.
The KRAUTSTENGIEL family name is very rare, but from birth index books in the
Przemysl ID project of Gesher Galicia, this name can be found in Sanok.
Back then, you may have gone from Lubaczow to Sanok by taking the train to
Jaroslaw, then to Rzeszow and then south to Sanok.
Does this theory have some logic?
