Details:
I have a bit more about Feige than I did the last time I posted these. For once, I actually have a death record for her. Other than that, though, I have no Birth or Marriage information on her aside from what I have gotten from family, so those dates for her are vague at best. I do know she lived a good deal of her life in Czudek, and raised her children there, then moved to Frankfurt after her husband's death. I also know that she lived until the early thirties. But other than raising possibly five children in a small town in Galicia, I know very little else about her life.
Proof:
1) Like the rest of my Jewish great-grandparents, I got all my information on Feige from my grandfather. Up until my sister and I started a book about our family, this was most of the information I had on her.
2) As stated above, I also have one photo of her with a note on the back from my great grandmother stating that this was her mother during her time in Frankfurt, and that she died sometime in the late twenties.
3) Like Benzion, she is also mentioned in the Hillinger Family book. It mentions Benzion was a teacher, and at least two place names: Czudek and Czendei in Galicia. Unfortunately, I don't know where Czendei might be, but I have at least found Czudek on a map.
4) She is also listed on her son's immigration record to Brazil. She is only mentioned on it, but it gives Mendel's birth as Czudek, so that is confirmed, at least.
5) My last piece of information is the wedding invitation in the Hillinger family book. It lists her as inviting people to attend her daughter's wedding. She and Leon are the two parents on the invitation, so that has led me to assume that they were the only parents the couple had alive at the time.
New Proofs I have found of Feige:
6) I now have the death record for Feige. It is in German, but after going through it, I am fairly certain it doesn't list parents or a birthplace. Still, it gives me an absolute date and location for her death.
7) She also appears on the record for her son Mendel's wedding.
8) And she is listed on her daughter Dora's Social Security record.
9) She is also listed on Mendel's Brazilian Immigration record.
10) The last record I have for her is that she is listed on Dora's death record.
Needed:
Except for her death record, I have almost no great new records for Feige. Aside from her death record, I still need her birth and marriage dates, as I can only speculate at those dates at this moment. I have no clue where to even start looking for information for her, as most of the paperwork recording her life events was likely destroyed by the Nazis. If there were any records for her in Czudek, those are likely long gone, too.
Like with Benzion, I would also love better records about her children. I am lucky to have what I do, but I would love to know more, despite the difficulties that finding such records will cause. I would love to learn about her family as well; parents, siblings, and ancestors. I speculate that she was born in Czudek, as most people didn't travel far from home, especially women at that time and in that area. They tended to move in family groups or not at all. But unless I find records, I am unlikely to find out more.
That's everything I have. I'd love to know more about her, especially about her ancestors, but I am pleased with the small amount of new information I have found for her. As always, any help would be greatly appreciated.
