This from Michael Walker:

This may not be precisely on topic, but I have a Familianten related question that this group of experts may be able to help with. I am descended from the Bernard Freund a.k.a. Isaachar Baer Freund Familianten family that lived in Malesice near Pilsen and is recorded on Familiant: 109 HBF XII/VI Plzeňský Malesice a Kozolupy (SS); folio: 53 image 9 . About a mile away in next door Wenussen there was another famiilanten for the Bernard Tulipan family Familiant: 109 HBF XII/VI Plzeňský Malesice a Kozolupy (SS); folio: 53 image 31.

Both men are listed in the 1793 and 1799 Jewish censuses. However, when Bernard Tulipan dies in Wenussen in 1808, he’s listed as Bernard Freund. Furthermore, in his familianten itself, Bernard Tulipan’s sons Philip, Samuel and Salomon/Solomon are listed as Freunds, and all the male descendants go by the name of Freund.

I know there are other explanations, but I am wondering whether Bernard Tulipan took on his wife Marie’s family name. Of course all of the families in these villages were inter-related, but there does seem to be a close connection between Bernard (Tulipan) Freund’s family and Bernard (Issachar Baer) Freunds family. A big clue and possibly the answer may lie in Bernard Tulipan’s Familienten record in the notations for his eldest son Phillip. Given my very limited German and my continual struggle to completely make out the old script, I am not sure exactly what it says. However I can make it out the words “Bernard Tulipan and his Marie Freund” and then a few words later “kinder” (children). This seems unusual.

And a Response from Randy Schoenberg

t looks like it says Philipp's father Bernard Tulipen took the name Freund and gave it to his children, and was deceased. (It does not say Marie, but "den Namen Freund angenommen" = took the name Freund.)
