Here are these towns located on a map of Hungary contemporaneous with the family events that took place there:
After WWI Hungary was split apart by the Treaty of Trianon. That is why some of the towns listed above are not in the modern country of Hungary.
Not found
- Births of Bernhardt, Adolph, or any of their siblings
- Birth of their parents / wives' parents / parents' marriages (or re-marriages)
- Sam's marriage or children
(All records found via the awesome JewishGen Hungary Database.)
Regarding the Schwadron family tree that has the famous Rabbi Adolph Hubsch as Bernahrdt's uncle, this is almost certainy not true. That said, in the event that these Hubsches are related going further back, it's worth sharing this (loose) translation of the family background from the biography linked above:
Abraham (Adolf) is born to Joachim and Julie Huebsch in a town called St. Nichlaus, in Hungary. He is the third son born on 09.18.1830. Joachim is a pastor and very well-educated. Julis has a great heart and is very much loved in the commuity as well. abraham is going early to school: he moved 1840 to Sest (? it is old German and has a few letters I cannot recognize). until 1845. He attended a lutheran school. 1845-1845 he was hired as a teacher in an israeli (I assume they meant Jewish) school in Altosen (Ultisen). 1848 he became a soldier (out ofhis own free will) and officer n the Honneb-Regiment. He was in the army until one big battle in Hilagos. Then his regiment was dissolved. 1849-1853 he studied theologie at bats under the rabbi Julius Ungar. He was a rabbi from 1854-1857 in the community of Miava. In 1858-1861 he was at the the academy and got his Ph.D in 1861 at the Brager University in Philosophy. He married at 32 Rina Lintz, He had three children. The youngest dies as well as his wife after they arrived in the US. He had 4 children (they mention it later).
They did not mention the names of his children. I guess 3 survived. They mention also his life, his publication and his activities. But the NYC years are much more vague.
What is very interesting is that Huebsch comes from a family in Boehmen in the middle ages (1500). Samuel Yafeh Ashkenazi and was a rabbi in Constantinople. His sons Josef and Jsaaf and grandson Menachem were famous in the 17 century. They were famous for jewish literature. The jewish families escaped the middle east and probably a part of Fasah family. Abraham's grandfather name was Samuel Yafeh. In Boehmen the name was translated into "schoen" and in Hungary it became Huesch. Since the family was interested in theology in the middle ages, Abraham was probably inclined at young age to be involved with theology.
The work for which Shmuel Yafeh is know is called the Yafeh Toar (loosely translated as "good-looking") which is a quote from Tanakh from my Bat Mitzvah parasha!
Some more biographical information about Adolph & his most famous son, Ben W. As a result of meeting Ben W.'s grandson, Rand, on 3/25/11, I was able to piece together an interesting story about his marriage (link above).
Additional names from Homestead Hebrew yahrzeit records
- Bernhardt's mother was Yehudit bat Shmuel. She was even once referred to as Judith Hepps.
- Bernhardt's father was Abraham ben Shimon.
