Bat Shiwa/Schewa Königsberg

Julien Grassen Barbe: "My grand mother Bat Sheva Kraselnik born Königsberg was born in 1908 in Sedziszow Maloposki. She was the daughter of the shohet Hersch Leib Königsberg who was born in 1877 or 1876 in the same shtetl. His parents were Samuel Königsberg who was born in Sieniawa and came from a famous hassidic family of cohanim and shohetim and Leine Elkie Ropper who was born in Sedziszow Maloposki. Bat Sheva (called Sheivah or Lucia)'s mother was Freide Reizel Weichselbaum who was from Strzyzow, the shtetl were lived her parents: Salomon Weichselbaum and Chaje Feige Weichselbaum (born Schwarz). The Weichselbaums were very religious (some of them were hassidim), as the Königsbergs. Grand-ma lived with her brothers and sisters during her childhood in Sedziszow and then, moved to Przemysl. Her mom' died at the age of 32 in Sedziszow and her father moved to New York and remarried a Chaja or Clara (maybe Gold or Goldberg). He passed away in 1938 and was burried in Mount Zion cemetery, Queens, as I understood. He was a "reverend" during several years in New York and then earned money as a clothes presser. Be careful ! "Your Gussie" was born before "mine", as I understood. You must go to read again the declaration of intention of my great grand father I sent you some years ago, you will see the birth date of "my" Gussie. Maybe, this grand-ma sister (we never heard about here in the family!!) was named after "your" Gussie Kreinik born Königsberg..and maybe my great great grand father Salomon Weichselbaum was a cousin of Salomon Leib from Tyczyn wich is a shtetl very closed from Strzyzow (I guess only10 kms). I think our families were related but how, this is the question...

Shalom,

Julien " Earlier: ".My grand-ma had 2 sisters: Hene and Ruchel and one brother Salomon. After the depart of their father and the death of their mother, they lived with their paternal grand-parents Lammel Königsberg (from Sieniawa) and Leine Elkie Königsberg (maiden name: Ropper) (from Sedziszow)."

"My grand mother Schewa Königsberg was born in Sedziszow but her mom' Frida Reizel Königsberg (maiden name: Weichselbaum) came from Strzyszow, a shtetl not far from this area."
