I'm doing some historical research on Jewish Communities near Giessen
(esp. Lollar, Mainzlar, Staufenberg, Daubringen and Treis). One jewish
family in Mainzlar (Kann) founded a liquor manufactory in the early 19th,
they also traded with liquor in the surrounding region. Later on the
family relocated the company to Giessen. I think it was a "respectable
occupation". Also I suppose, that this family like many others in Giessen
(and env.) in middle of the 19th could not be marked as "Orthodox". The
majority of jews in this region formed a growing "liberal" Jewish
Community.

Are there perhaps any relationships between the Kann family and your

Hello everyone
I have a confusing to me question. My mothers maternal g-mother
married my fathers maternal g-father who was a widower at the time.
Would my parents have been cousins?
I would be grateful for any explanations.

Is there such a name "Brit"? I know the word, as most of us do, meaning
"covenant". But is there such a name?

Are there any suggestions for a masculine equivalent name to yiddish
femine name "Breindel"? "Breindel" means "brunette" or "brown". "Baruch"
begins with a beit, so that makes that name a likely candidate.

Thanks.

I would appreciate hearing about or getting information on Jewish
Cemetaries in the area of Semiatyce, Bedzin, Olkuz and other areas of what
was Zaglembia. Lists, photos and/or location maps would be of interest.

I believe that it is a derivitive of the Yiddish name Ber which is usually
associated with the Hebrew name Dov.

Hi! I'm hoping some Israeli Jewishgenner out there can do a phone
look-up for me or perhaps will know this family. We've been searching
for them for quite a while and, just today, I learned that they had
moved to Israel. I'm sorry, but I have no idea what city they live in.

The name is STATESMAN. First name is most likely Murray or Howard, but
could also be Gloria, Briana, Romany or Shari.

Murray STATESMAN was a physicist who was a professor in Seattle until the
family moved to Israel and we lost track of them. Murray was married to
Gloria nee STERNBERG (the daughter of Jack Sternberg and Hilda Flamholtz
Sternberg). Murray and Gloria had four children that we know of: Briana
Ellen, Howard, Romany and Shari.

Any information you can give on any of these individuals would be
appreciated. I am particularly interested in learning their addresses (my
phone bill is high).

Thanks in advance,

Question: What is the Hebrew name for Berko?

Regards. Udi Cain. Jerusalem.

I'd put my money on Barukh (Boruch) -- unless it's a cute diminutive
of Ber (Dov-Ber).
