grandmothers' maiden names #romania

David Roth <drroth@...>
 

:Dear Rom-Sig,
With reference to grandmothers' maiden names as discussed by Bob Wascou,
from my standpoint he is lucky that the various spellings and versions he
has look reasonably similar to one another.

My father, Albert Alexander ROTH, born Avraham Rotimberg in Roman in1888,
came to England in 1895/6 along with 3 siblings and his parents. He said, in
his marriage papers and verbally that his mother's maiden name was
ROSENFELD. His brother, in his nationalisation document, said SONENFELD .
Her first name was SABINA or SEINA SIMA ; their father's Hebrew name was
ELKANAH.

You can imagine the increase to my confusion on receiving the following:

Marriage licence No. 244/ November 26, 1874, Botosani.
CUNE ROTINBERG, 26 years old, merchant, born in Roman, living in Roman, son
of HERSCU ROTINBERG, 56 years old, merchant, living in Roman, and of
ALTA ROTINBERG, 46 years old, living in Roman
marries
SEINA SIMA MISILEM (read like "mishilem"), 18 years old, born and living in
Botosani, daughter of ALTAR MISILEM, 55 years old and of RUHLA MISILEM,
deceased.

I'm really pleased about finding this document. On my opinion it is really
useful, stating at least 2 important questions:
- The Rotinbergs are >from Roman;
- The Sonenfelds/Rosenfelds prove to be, in fact, Misilems and they are from
Botosani.

Also, a family with the surname MALIES, supposed to be related to us, gives
as grandmother's maiden name SONENFELD, >from an English Birth Certificate.
The relevant Romanian document reads:

Marriage licence1867 No. 88 Botosani.
CALMAN MALIS, 22 years old, elder son of
HAIM MALIS, deceased, and NESU MALIS of 42 years, living in Botosani,
marries
MARIM BERARIU, of 21 years, elder daughter
of ALTAR BERARIU, of 58 years, beer-seller, living in Botosani,
and of RUHLA BERARIU, of 46 years, living in Botosani

SONENFELD seems to be a rare name in that part of Romania and noone has been
able to connect with either family.

All the best

consummate skills, we added almost 500 images in July alone, bringing
the total number of images on the Yizkor Book web site to 7,839.
Thank you, Osnat.

Given names Izidor and Israel #general

Izidor is actually a Greek name. So is it likely/probable a Jewish male
named Israel >from Slovakia born in 1875 would have used Izidor as his

Does anyone know if these lists are accesible?

Dear Genners,

I am sorry to be sending this through the group, but my mail to him is

Dear Marc,

I found your name researching ACHENBLUT in Jewishgen's family finder. I am
researcher 27853.

My pggm's maiden name was Ethel (Yetta/Etta) ACHENBLUT (any spelling). She
died in Chicago on April 17, 1931. She was about 66 years old. The
informant on her death certificate was SAMUEL D. HACKEN living at 3527 W
Van Buren, Chgo.I am assuming that some Achenblut's changed their name to
Hacken. It makes very good sense. At the time of her death she was living
at 1141S Springfield Av. Chicago, Il.

Her father's name was David. Her mother was Rivka nee MALKONSKY/MALKOVSKY.
Her parents were both >from Zolobein, Poland. She came >from Soroki near
Kishinev. She may have been born in Kishinev.

She was married to Isaac (Jacob) KOVISHANSKY >from Kishinev. They came to
America in the 1880's and settled in Chicago. In 1918, her son Dave
changed the family name to KOVIN, but I understand that some kept the
KOVISHANSKY name.

They had 9 children.

Any suggestions,any clue.It is diturbing/fascinating to find out at the
age of 55 that your family members were both on Sugihara List and on the
Kindertransport. Please email me privately unless you think there is a
general interest in your findings. >>

Yes, here are some suggestions of general interest.
* Repost your enquiry--and any enquiry about Jews >from German-speaking
countries--on Gersig, the German Special Interest Group which can be found
on the webpage of jewishgen.org.
* You will also find a UK site on jewishgen, jcr-k@....
* Make a web search for the Koenigsbuch name
* Make a web search for Kindertransport
* You might find the Koenigsbuch name in many British records--current
or past phonebooks, Jewish Chronicle, Government archives, etc.
* They are likely to have dropped the e following the o, if they have
not made more drastic changes to their names
