Frank Feiner: Re: Feiner
Thank you !
I am in contact with the Feiner in Trnava and know about the Feiner in Levice. They are related to each other.
My ggf Leopold lived in Zelenec near Trnava, but died young. The mother Fani Grab moved with the two little sons to Vienna about 1877. I try to find the connection to the Feiner's in western Slovakia / northern Hungary.

The LDS-Mormons (Family History Center) have filmed the church records but this Western region's films are not yet released. You might want to check their site to be sure.

FrankFeiner: Re: Feiner
hello Zlatica,

Thanks once again for your advice !

The point is that I know a lot about the Feiner in Vienna, but almost nothing about my ggf and any other Feiner in Slovakia.
My ggm came to Vienna with my gf and his brother. She remarried and I am not sure there was still contact with the Feiner people in North Hungary / Slovakia. As these Feiner were jewish many family members did not survive WWII. Others are spread all over the world. I did not yet find a Feiner who did know more than only a few other Feiner.
Yes, I already did a lot of search, also with jewishgen etc. but after more than 10 years I did not yet find any brother, sister, father or mother of my ggf Leopold (Lipot) FEINER, born 1835 in Zelenec (Szelinc), and my ggm Fani GRAB, born in 1842 probably also in Zelenec.
I found Feiner in Radixindex, all the Feiner in that region are probably related.
Frank.

Your welcome, Frank.

Seems that you have looked everyplace there is too look.
Might you consider on going to the "old country" and check out the church records in the archive?

Did you know that in 1990 in Poland there were 46 FEINERs and 1036 GRABs? I am sure you know.

FrankFeiner: Re: Feiner
OK,

About Poland : Up to now I did not find the Feiner in Poland connected to those in Slovakia.
Probably both came originally from Germany.
The Feiner in Poland seems to be very religious jews, those in Slovakia probably did live more the costums and not the religion. They were more connected to the Austrians. But in periods jews had difficulties with the Austrians /antisemitism, a lot of jews hungarised... and often changed their german name into a hungarian one.

Yes, I´ve to go to Bratislava, there are the books of the jewish community of Trnava, with all the records.

About Fani Grab I know nothing- I found a gravestone of a Fani Grab in Trnava, but it turned out to be a Fani married to a Grab.

Hans Peter Grab from Germany has an incredible amount of data about Grab families. He counted about 12 ´tribes´ not connected to each other. I will pass the polnish website to him. But he will have the same difficulty not being able to understand polnish.

I understand you live in an eglisch speaking country..

I live in Rotterdam, NL.

yours,
Frank Feiner.

Here some sites for research in Poland. Never know what you might find.

As for Herby site : click off the Ogloszenie, click on Slownik Nazwisk, in the window type a name and click on Szukaj. There you should see a abbreviation of a Woj/ regions where the name is listed/ registered. Click on Tutaj znajduja to see what the abbreviation is: Wa is Warszawskie.

Gary: Re: Feiner
I was looking for my Feiner relatives. My Great Grandfather was Jacob Feiner and my Great Grandmother was Esther Dora Feiner and her maiden name was Goldman. I was always told they were from Austria, but I just found out that they belonged to a Lodge in New York called Jaraslauer Lodge. I found a town in Poland name Jaroslaw and thought it might be the real name of the town from where they came. They lived and died in Brooklyn and were buired at Mt Zion Cemetery in Queens. They had four children: Herman, Phoebe, Hylda and Al. My Great Grandmother had a sister named Hanah. Thank you for any help or information on my family. Gary

FrankFeiner: Re: Feiner
Thank you for your mail.
My Feiner came from Upper-Hungary = Western Slovakia (Trnava region) about 1875 to Vienna: Fanny FEINER (born GRAB) with her two boys Jakob and Louis. I found several FEINER in that region, but no connection to Poland.
But I will save your info, who knows...

Geri Roth: Re: Feiner
You are in luck. I know about the feiner family in Northeastern Hungary. I am related to them. One Feiner son went into the labor camps and survived the war. He settled in Budapest during the war. His name was emil Feiner. I do not have time to write now, but will try and get back to you soon. I have pictures of Emil's wedding. He has children and grandchildren in Budapest. Emil came from the Roth family and they were from Kovacsvagas. He still might be alive. I do have the address and will have to find it. I wa writting to them several years ago, but it is difficult because I do not know Hungarian. Actually this is exciting. I can give you a lot of information. How were you related to the Feiner's? e-mail me so it will be easy for me to get back to you.

Hello, I hope you got my last e-mail.
I have this address and I hope it is still good. The last time I wrote to them it was in the 1980'. Emil Feiner is my cousin and his daughter is Mary. I do not know if he is still alive but I am sure Mary his daughter is. I hope they have not moved.

The do not speak engilsh so you will have to write in Hungarian.

Geri, thank you for the message. The town Kovacsvagas is probaqbly: http://www.mapquest.com/maps/map.adp?latlongtype=decimal&latitude=48.4500&longitude=21.5333&size=big
I found 5 to 6 groups of family Feiner in western Slovakia, formely western North Hungary. The connections are probably about 1800. I did not find documents or registers yet, but there are similarities in given names (many Leopold, Lois, Jacob and Joseph.) You can mail me private at genealogy -a-t- frankfeiner -d-o-t- nl and then I can send you details.
I am collecting all Feiner genealogy.

Geri Roth: Re: Feiner
I am interested in the female name "Tsarne" Does anyone know this name and was it common in the 1800's in Hungary. My great grandfathers first wife had this first name. Then I heard her name was Julie. Could this name mean Julie?

Landers: Re: Feiner
Hi,

My wife is born in Budapest and I know her family was Feiner and that they were from todays Slovakia
My wifes grandmother was Margit Feiner
I believe the best known person from this branch of the family is Eugene Fodor (Jenö Feiner). He was a publisher and writer in the U.S.A.

Frank Feiner: Re: Feiner
Hello Lars, Quite interesting! Can you present more information? A long time ago someone has told me of a namechange Feiner to Fodor. My Feiner lived near Trnava (Nagyszombat). I found Feiner in Binovce (Binocz), Trstin (Nadas) and some other places. I colect data of every FEINER in Northern Hungary/Slovakia.
Since one yer I live in Austria near Vienna, so Slovakia is near for visiting the archives. Although many rabinical books are on line now on familysearch.org there is a lot more in the local archives, some documents the archive will not be presented without asking for it specific. It is obvious Slovakia does not want to show much as still beinge silent about the states role in WWII. But younger archivists are helpful.
My current email addres is frank.feiner -a-t- aon -d-o-t- at
