RE: [Cz-L] Englers in Czernowitz inquiry

Dear Jeff,

My grandmother Fanny Engler married Samuel Glasberg, I think in about 1900.
I have some Engler cousins in Israel. Some changed their names to Elgar. I
have more information about the Glasberg side of my family. I suspect that
Beit Hatfutzot in Ramat Aviv Israel has more data.

Best wishes

Jerry

Subject: [Cz-L] Englers in Czernowitz inquiry

Greetings from a newcomer! Yes, I'm seeking family information, but
considering the first post I read was about period music and one of the next
was Shula's essay... I can't tell you how excited I am for the richness this
list adds to our family history.

I grew up a secular farm boy from Illinois. I'm now a marine biologist in
Washington and was graced with marrying an Argentinean of Jewish/Catholic
descent. Now that we have two great young boys, we hope to share as much of
their cultural and historical context as possible.

My side is a cake walk compared to my wife's. Her dad was a poor, fatherless
Catholic child in Buenos Aires, Argentina, with little known history. He
died shortly after our wedding, and before my Spanish was good enough to
have a conversation with him. Having fled the Dirty War in the 1970's, he
didn't seem to spend much time talking to anyone about history. Her mom has
shared a bit of her Jewish ancestry, but not beyond her parents' generation.
Among the few names she shared, she also shared a single point of geography
- Chernowitz.

My wife's grandmother was Sara Engler (b. 3/22/1904). She and her brother
Felipe immigrated (possibly from Czernowitz) to Buenos Aires. I'm not sure
when, but she married her husband Benjamin Landes (b. 10/7/1909 in Rumania?)
there in 1932. Benjamin immigrated to San Pablo, Brazil before arriving in
Buenos Aires. I think Sara and Felipe had a brother Joseph who married a
woman named Fanny and may have immigrated to Israel from Czernowitz. She
wasn't sure of the town of her mother's origin, but recalls hearing
"Chernowitz".

I searched the list for Engler and didn't come up with much. Any family
leads or tips would be hugely appreciated.

A recent post mentioned the Habsburgs. That reminded me that my wife joked
about being royalty because of the slight underbite she shares with her
grandmother Sara. Many thanks to all of you, and have a great day! JEff=
