Lieber [with e] in German means "[I would] prefer[erently]", "[my]
darling", an inflected adverbial forn of "lieb" [love],
so you could be right.

But also possible is that "liber" derives >from "leib"[yidd] = lion,

I doubt it is >from German "leib" = body, or fron "liber" [yidd] = expensive.

LIBER (given name or nickname) #general

AUBREY JACOBUS <aajacobus@...>
 

All Jewish males should have a Sacred name given at their circumcision to
be used on all religious occasions ( eg in synagogue ) - they may
adopt any name they wish for everyday use ( known as a kinnui ) .
On civil documents you expect to find the kinnui used - but quite often a
Yiddish equivalent of the Sacred name is used as a kinnui . There is no
rule I know for females as Orthodox women have no Synagogue role -
but most families apply the same rule to girls.
One even sees Kinnui sometimes used on gravesstones

Liba is a fairly common girls name. My Litvak( Lithuanian )step
grandmaother was Liba. There is however a male version Liber.
Both are kinnui.

I cannot help you with specifics, but I can suggest that you might get
more results posting your message to the Hungarian special interest group,
and also that you include whatever relevant details you have, like the
names of your grandparents.

Re: Pogroms in the Ukraine @1919 - downloadable book #ukraine

Cheryl Tallan mentioned
There is a book about these pogroms.
Heifetz Elias. 1921. _The Slaughter of the Jews in the Ukraine in 1919_.
New York: Seltzer. A general history of the 1919 Ukrainian pogroms. I
don't know if it mentions the pogrom in Boyarka. I don't know how easy it
is to find this book. It is in the University of Toronto library and
probably should be in any good academic library.
In 1921 Heifetz had presided or was presiding the All-Ukrainian Relief
Committee for the Victims of the Pogroms, operating under Red Cross
auspices. The book was written at about a time when my grandmother was
almost thrown off a racing train while other Jewish passengers were being
attacked. My mother was born in 1921. And some months later the family was
escaping by illegally moving to the border (with fake invitation letters to
an inexistent wedding in a border town, and uncles wearing military
uniforms, just in case they should impress anyone on board the train). The
family then walked away in different groups, and with different lucks.

My closer family crossed on a dark night with a group of Jews and a
guide/extorter through the border woods. When my baby mother cried in the
arms of my grandmother she placed everyone in the group in risk of being
discovered, and killed or jailed. The guide told my grandmother that she
should better silence the baby, or he would do it, definitely. My mother
behaved. Every now and then I realize I can write this, for example, because
my baby mother behaved that night.

Time ago I saved the link to the complete online version of this book edited
in 1921. It was supplied in a message to the UkraineSIG by Allan Dolgow.
You can find the book online at the Harvard University website in

Adobe's pdf format and saved to read it off-line (click on Printable

weighed 30.5 MB.

As for Boyarka, a search in the Yizkor Books Project database in
http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/database.html
yields no results, either for town name (DM-Soundex), or for global text
keyword search, Boyarka or Bojarka.

The scan online for Heifetz's book can not be directly queried for keywords
and requires browsing. I have not read the book completely but while
browsing did not come across an alphabetical index for town name mentions.
The number of scanned images including titles is 416, for page number
reaching 408. This is the index:

Adolf KUSY : Was KUSSY/KUSSI family - mistranscribed in 1793 Jewish census of Bohemia #austria-czech

Barbara Zimmer
 

Adolf KUSY (spelled with one S in the US)
traveled back and forth to Europe until at least
1957. He had a sister Mrs Lilly BLUMENTHAL in
Klodna, accordiing to a 1921 manifest.

On the 1911 manifest, his father's given name
starts with Mar... (Marie? Marec??) .

Adolf died in 1997 . He lived on Ocean Avenue in Brooklyn.
Social Security Death Index
Name:Adolf Kusy
Last Residence:11229 Brooklyn, Kings, New York, United States of America
Born:31 Dec 1894
Died:6 Mar 1997

from an 2001 article about the meat business, we
see that Adolf died at the age of 105. His
co-owner was Mr. NEMECEK, who sold the business
to his son Joe.
"I hated this business," says Joe Nemecek, who
bought Adolf Kusy Co., Fine Pork and Provisions
from his father in 1985. "I came back from
Vietnam and drove an 18-wheeler. I loved to cook
and wanted to be a chef. I'd been accepted at the
Culinary Institute, when a bunch of guys quit on
my father. He was in trouble, but it took him a
month to call me. Finally he talked to my mother,
and she called my ex-wife. I got into it
completely against my will. That was 25 years
ago."
Adolf Kusy, who died in 1996 at the age of 105,
started in the lamb business in 1934, and
Nemecek's father joined him a number of years
later. Maintaining the original wooden-floored
cooler, Joe Nemecek branched out >from lamb to
include rabbits, suckling pigs, and seafood. The
company's old signature wooden signs advertised
over 50 types of cheese.

Finding roots in the Czech Republic #austria-czech

danielat1@...
 

Tony Hausner has asked for suggestions for guides and other resources.
Following the Fiedler book he mentions which is an important resource there
have been a few other similar but more recent guides to Jewish sites and
monuments published for both Bohemia and Moravia.
"Zidovske pamatky Cech" - Jewish Monuments in Bohemia by Blanka Rozkosna and
Pavel Jakubec was published 2004 in Brno by ERA. Like Fiedler it lists each
town and city and describes existing sites for both synagogues and
cemeteries. Some of text is in English but it is predominantly in Czech.
A similar publication was written by Jaroslav Klenovsky for Moravia and
published in 2001 by the same publisher. Its title is " Zidovske pamatky
Moravy a Slezska- Jewish monuments of Moravia and Silesia.
Both these guides have maps and detailed drawings of some of the better
preserved towns.

I would also strongly recommend a visit online before you leave home to the
Jewish Communities in Prague and Brno as both websites have links to
cemetery sites and all sorts of useful information. Some of it is in
English.

The Jewish Museum of Prague is also worth looking at online before you go
there.
A lot of Czech towns and cities have websites these days and they welcome
tourism. There are a number of Jewish tour specialist mainly based in
Prague. Write to me privately if you want details.
I would be happy to send my notes on how to do Czech genealogy which
includes some contact names and addresses.

Autumn 2009 puzzle - are there really two Nahosice/Nahoschitz? #austria-czech

towns. Did not see an entry for Nahosice where my family also lived."

Tony please go to: http://tinyurl.com/ykymzrj

where you will read that "a Nahosice", Bohemia probably belonged to the
Herrschaft of Teinitz - Tynec nad Sazavou - see Fiedler's book p.45 under
Benesov. In the 1793 census of Bohemia, Teinitz in the Berauner Kreis is
registered as having no Jewish inhabitants - Vol III p 237.

Then fast forward to:

http://www.hugogold.com/bohemia/benesov.pdf {in Czech which I do not read]

I can see no mention of it either in this article. This Nahosice [if it
exists] was probably a tiny litle place with one or two Jewish families
with distilling concessions as implied in the tiny URL and in the 1793
census.

There is no reason to mention it in the Fiedler book, unless there was a
significant Jewish presence, a cemetery, synagogue etc. Nahosice has no
chapter devoted to it in Hugo Gold either.

After 1848, there may have been a new Jewish influx >from elsewhere.

In the 1793 census of Bohemia, Nahoschitz {Nahosice} is in the Klattauer
Kreis - Vol V p 350. The Familianten are listed here:

http://www.toledot.org/ihbf68.htm

Familiant Book of Region Klatovy
Family Name Index of Volume VIII/VI.

from previous correspondence and noting resident BLOCH ECKSTEIN families,
this Klattauer Nahosice seems to be Tony's. It is also mentioned as a
throw-away aside re the transference of a Familianten place in the chapter
on Neuern/Nyrsko {Hugo Gold}:

http://www.hugogold.com/bohemia/neuern.pdf

Go to page 426 - Stelle 23 to see the single reference to Nahosice.

The more I read about Neuern, near the Bavarian border, which is awash
with BLOCH PLOCH and even ECKSTEIN {Tony's family names}, the more I
wonder if there is not a close connection between this place - centre of
the Bohemian feather industry - and the elusive Nahosice in the Klattauer
kreis. However BLOCH and ECKSTEIN are very common names - so we must
beware of hasty conclusions.

But are there really two Nahosice - Nahoschitz in Berauner and Klattauer
kreis respectively? Or was the Count in the Berauner kreis also the
Schutzherr of the one and only Nahosice in the Klattauer kreis?

Can someone solve this for us please?
