Hi,

I am looking for information about the family of my grandmother, Clara
SCHROPEL (FLEISCHMANN).

I know very little about this family. the SCHROPEL family came from
(Breslau ) -Wroclaw (today) in Silesia to Chemnitz in Germany.

Gustav SCHROPEL was born in 1844 (I don't know who he married or when). He
is burried in Chemnitz- in the Jewish cemetary. He died on April 2nd, 1920.

His children are:
Clara (my great grandmother) born June 26, 1868, who married Sussia
FLEISCMANN in Chemnitz, Germany.
Jenny - born November 20, 1869
Agnes (?) married EISINGER
Hans - married Martha

All the above lived in Chemnitz, Germany.

I would like to find out the name of my grandmother's mother and any other
information about this family.

Please contact me if you have any information regarding this family.

During 1940-1941 I went to school in Marseille, France and attended
"Ecole Publique de Garcons, Les Presentines, Marseille". I am
interested to know if this school still exists and to learn its
street address. I would appreciate this information. Please email to

There no evidence of Jewish settlement in Scotland in that period.

Shalom, Galicianers!
Although I did not hear much response to my posting a few months ago about
Kernkrauts >from Oswiecim (& Trinidad), I have been able to go back on my
tree, thanks to a cousin providing me information.
I now know that my paternal great grandparents were Nachman & Mindel
Kernkraut. She was a Hojda, and since this family was prominent in the
Bochia Wishnitz area, they were known as Nachman & Mindel Rivka Hojda. They
had 9 children, the oldest of whom was my grandfather, (Asher) Zelig
Kernkraut. The only one of those 9 Kernkrauts to survive the Holocaust was
the youngest, Leon, who emigrated to Brazil in 1937.
Zelig's wife (my grandmother) was Rivka Englander and they had 5 sons, the
oldest of whom was my father, Samuel Kernkraut (1905-1961). I understand
that Zelig & Rivka also lived in Chrzanow. As I mentioned previously, my
father & 3 brothers went to Trinidad pre-war for about 10 years, then
settling in Toronto & New York; the one brother who remained in Poland
perished in the Holocaust.
I'd appreciate hearing >from Hojda &/or Kernkraut &/or Englander descendants.

The Lida District ShtetLink has recently been donated scanned images of a
1916 German ocupation passport of a blacksmith, Benzal ALBERT [probably
ALPERT] born in Nowy Dwor, Lida District. The images can be viewed at

http://www.shtetlinks.jewishgen.org/Lida-District/pass-albert.htm

The town of residence at the time is in question; it's on the second image.
My best guess at the moment is Mecrecz. A ShtetlSeeker search turns up a
number of soundalikes in Belarus, most of which are south of Minsk & in my
judgement [perhaps incorrect] therefore not likely to have been part of the
Vilnius region, which regional administration issued the passport. There
are some soundalikes northeast of Ashmyany, but I'm not sure if any of them
would have served as a district [county] seat, as they all seem to be very
small. [The passport indicates that the town of residence is the county
seat].

Therefore, I'd appreciate any help in pinning down Mr. ALB[P]ERT's
residence.

Thanks!
