From what I know the ich means man, so the name could be Kushnev or Kushner. Hope this helps Diane Jacobs Sent from my Verizon, Samsung Galaxy smartphone -------- Original message -------- From: Ellen Barnett Cleary <ellencleary@...> Date: 12/31/19 5:38 PM (GMT-05:00) To: JewishGen Discussion Group <main@...> Subject: [JewishGen.org] Kushnevich and other variations my deceased cousin, was Kushnevich. My cousin was extremely accurate about most things but his spelling was not the best. So I am pretty sure he wrote this as he heard it; I have no idea how correctly it is spelled. The only information I have about where this great grandmother was born is from the census: 1860 age 22, born Poland 1870 age 31, born Poland 1880 not found 1900 born May 1840, married 40 years, born Poland (Russ) 1910 age 70, married 52 yrs, born Pol Russian, parents born Pol Russian 1920 age 79, born Poland, parents born Poland If anyone can tell me what Beider's/ Dictionary of Jewish Surnames from the Kingdom of Poland says about the name.Kushnevich I would be very grateful. And I welcome any other insights you might have to share with me. Many thanks, Ellen Barnett Cleary San Francisco CA -- Ellen Barnett Cleary San Francisco CA USA -- Diane Jacobs |
