Hi all! I’ve just joined this wonderful group.
My great- grandparents Adolf Kanczuker and Klara Schwarzwald were born in Czernowitz in the 1860’s.
I know something of the family origins through my grandfather’s diary, which describes his parents’ life in Czernowitz.
But going back in time there are a lot of blank spaces on the family tree, so I was wondering whether anyone in the group can help or may even be related?
1) Kanczuker: my great great grandfather Sigmund (1820-80) moved to Czernowitz from Tarnopol or nearby after being conscripted into the Austrian Army for seven years (including the 1848 revolution). I don’t know his wife’s name. They had two children: Adolf (Abraham) and Minna. Minna was a teacher at the girl’s high school. Adolf worked for the Poppers, first as the full time family tutor (starting when he was 14, to help support the family after his father’s death) and then as a manager at his timber mills in Transylvania, before opening his own mills.
2) Schwarzwald: the story of my great grandmother’s family is well-known, mainly because of her brother Hermann, who married Genia, and both moved to Vienna about 1900: one to be a civil servant and the other an educator ( proving the saying that “ A Wiener ist a Bukowiner”). The other brother was Daniel , who was first a magistrate in Sucsava , and later in life was a Hofrat in Vienna.
I would like to know the name of my great grandmother Klara’s mother. She died giving birth to Klara. Her husband Salamon moved then to Vienna and remarried- their son was Gustav. He was an engineer at the Ganz Machine Factory in Austria.
The three Schwarzwald children were later brought up by the Brunstein’s, he was a member of the Czernowitz Stadtrat for many years before WW1, and owned the town flour mill. They called the Brunstein’s mother and father. Mrs Brunstein ( maiden name Trebitsch) was a relative of Klara’s mother, so that might be a clue.
Sorry for the length of this account but maybe someone can provide some information?
Best Regards
