Dear David,
Maybe I can help you. My great-grandmother Chana was a Peretz.
My information is (briefly) as follows.
Hersch Rosenberg was Kreisrabbiner in Ludomir (by the way - does anyone know
where that is?). His son Leib (Yehuda Leibusch) came to Itzkany in order to
avoid military service in Russia. As you say, he married a girl named
Peretz from Odessa, and took her name.
He had six children: Israel, Leiser, Schloime, Chana (my great-grandmother),
Chaje and Sosie.
Israel had five children - Jakob, Josef, Adolf, Nathan and Hermann. Jakob
married Jeanette Turtel. Adolf married her sister Rosa Turtel; she later
married Hermann.
We are in close touch with Jakob's grandson Fredy, who lives in Tel Aviv,
and Josef's grandson Erich who was a professor in Jerusalem but sadly died a
few years ago - his widow Bluma is also an academic in Jerusalem.
You may know all this already, but if you are interested I can give you much
fuller information, including about my own family.
Asher Turtel is I believe a member of the group, and I am sure he will be
able to give you more information regarding the Turtels. Incidentally, my
mother was a friend of Hedy Turtel as a child in pre-war Czernowitz.
I would, needless to say, be most interested to know what is your connection
with the Peretz family! And also, I would be very interested to know who
Esther Brenner Peretz was? - I have not heard of her.
By the way, have you looked at the list of "small businesses in the Bukowina
1914" in Peter Elbau's wonderful web site http://bukowina.info/index.php?
If you look under Itzkany you will see quite a number of Peretz's. And if
you look under Eisenau you will find my great-grandfather Schulem Landau, to
whom Chana was married. They ran a store in Eisenau.
I look forward to hearing from you!
