Subject: Meaning of Kappelmacher
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 ?
