Les...
Both Marion and Baruch are right. We have checked your death record entries for:
Berl Meschel, son of the hatter Riwen Meschel, deceased in 1879 at the age of 4 years
Abraham David Meschel, son of the hatter Riwen Meschel, deceased in 1878 at the age of 2 months
Although "Kappelmacher" could be both a profession or a name, in your particular case it is beyond any reasonable doubt a profession.
But Riwen and Ruchel/Rachel had one more child, Marjim Meschel, daughter of the hatter Riwen, deceased in 1882 at the age of 14 months. Check the Czernowitz BMD Index Database
http://microtarget.com/czernowitz/CzernowitzBMDindex.htm
go for the record(s) by getting in touch with Daniel Horowitz. As for Rosel Kappelmacher most probably you are right; in our opinion too, there must be a registration or transcription mistake and therefore I'd order this record too.
Warmest wishes and success for your research!

names and professions often live in symbiosis.
The German 'Kappe' means 'cap' and 'Kappele' is the regional diminutiv: a small cap, kind of a hat
And the one who makes it - is a 'Kappelmacher'.
In lists in Czernowitz' archives I found a lot of people whose jobs were 'modistă', 'pălărier' = 'Kappelmacher' in Austrian times.
Hope it helps a bit.

Perhaps someone in the group can clear up a mystery for me.
While researching my maternal great-grandfather Rubin( Riwen) Meschel who lived in Czernowitz til 1913, I found conflicting listings for him on the CZ. Databases. His profession is shown as schneider( tailor) in the 1898 directory and mutzenmacher ( hat maker ? ) in 1909.
Further ,there is this listing in the death database presumably for Riwen's 2 children
39 MESCHEL Berl Kapelmachers Riwen - 27/Oktober/1879 278-279 402 Früh 4 Uhr Death
40 MESCHEL Abraham David Kappelmachers Riwen - 15/Mai/1878 93-94 - NMonths Death
which seems to indicate Kapelmacher as a profession.
Then for birth records,Kappelmacher( with 2 p's) is shown as a family name as follows :
KAPPELMACHER Rosel Riwe?eschel VII 1879 32 367 Birth
I don't know who Rosel Kappelmacher is or Rosel Meschel but Riwen Meschel seems to be indicated as father. Is the word Kappelmacher a name or a profession ? Is this a mistake ?
