Subject: Re: [Cz-L] Meaning of Kappelmacher
Thank you Marion for your help . I understand that Kappelmacher could be both " cap maker" and a surname . However, a search of the name Kappelmacher on all Czernowitz resident lists comes up short.
The only thing I can figure out is that the birth record for a Rosel Kappelmacher is incorrect and it should read Rosel Meschel ,daughter of the Kappelmacher, Riwen Meschel. Either the original clerk wrote it wrong or it was transcribed incorrectly. I see the name Riwen is not clear ( shown Riwe ? )
If this is true, this would make this Rosel Meschel my great-aunt, someone I never heard of. She must have died very young.
I think I should request a copy of this birth record.
