Many, many years ago I came across
information on Henrietta’s given name and siblings when I was trying to uncover
if my feeling that her mother and her mother-in-law were sisters.
I had found out, through JewishGen’s Gliwice County Births, 1812-47 and Bytom Marriages 1848-74
records, I was able to find her siblings, since I already knew her parents’
names from Rabbi Urlich Steuer’s hand-written family tree.
Lehne Eisner’s marriage date was 03
Apr 1872, Zabrze
(Bytom Marriages 1848-74) to Joachim Schueller. Braindel (Pauline) Eisner
married Heinrich Pollack on 12 Jul 1865 in Preiswitz. Another daughter of
Loebel Eisner and Handel (Hannel/Hanna) Fraenkel, Marianna, was married to Isaac
Sorski on 10 Feb 1864 and her daughter Rosalie became the wife of an innkeeper,
David Knoke on 14 Feb 1861 in Bytom.
The information that was more of interest
to me was proving what I always felt about Henriette (Jettel), daughter of Loebel
Eisner and Handel (Hannel/Hanna) Fraenkel, was that her mother-in-law, Eva
Fraenkel Steuer and her mother were sisters.
According to her mother’s Eastern
Prussian Provinces Death Certificate, Handel (Hannel/Hanna) Fraenkel Eisner’s
parents were Löbel Fränkel (Cohen) and Rosel (Rosa) Löwy. Rosel was born in 1777,
Pless County, Upper Silesia, Prussia and Löbel was born in 1779. They lived in Nicolai
and Urbanowitz. Löbel Fränkel died 15 Feb 1844 in Pless County, Upper Silesia,
Prussia.
Löbel Fränkel (Cohen) and Rosel (Rosa)
Löwy had seven children that I know of: Isaac Fränkel, born in Dec 1800; Handel
Fränkel, born in 1803, Pless County; Eva Fränkel, born in 1805, Pless County; Lendel
Fränkel, born in 1808, Pless County; Babette Fränkel, born in 1810, Pless
County; Hirschel Fränkel, born in 1813, Pless County and Joachim Fränkel, born
in 1816, Pless County.
Eva Fränkel was married to Samuel
Steuer and their son Bernhardt married Eva’s niece, Jettel (Henriette), her
sister Handel’s daughter.
Sherlock did it once again.
