I
volunteer in a Jewish
nursing home near Washington, DC. I help the elderly people write their
family histories. I am working with an 87 year-old man named Louis
TAUB. He survived the Holocaust by serving in the Soviet Army. Anyhow,
I think you should know about him because he was born Lemel TURTELTAUB
in the town of Sokolow, Galicia, not far from Stryj. He never knew his
TURTELTAUB family because his father was murdered during a robbery when
he was just one year old. His father was Yisroel TURTELTAUB and his
grandfather was Lemel TURTELTAUB. (He was named after his
grandfather.) I wonder if he is related to the TURTELTAUB family of
Stryj. Have you considered genetic (DNA) testing to see if the various
TURTELTAUB families are related? |

My name is Aaron Bar-Tor (formerly Turkeltaub ). My father's name was Itzhak
and to the best of my memory he used to have an aunt in the US named Pearl
who probably passed away about 30 years ago. My father escaped from Poland
(Krasnystaow) during the second world war. His parents names were Yaacov and
Sara. Any information about probable relatives any where on the globe will be
much appreciated.
Regards,
Aaron Bar-Tor

Hi,
Thanks for your message. I knew nothing about the Turkeltaub site.
Although looking, I haven't found my Turkeltaub there. My
grandmother's brother, Feivish Shraga, was a Turkeltaub. We don't know
his father's name, because he had died before the birth of my
grandmother. They lived in a town named Zlochow in Galizia. Is there
somewhere else to look for?
Thank you again

This is quite a site you've got. I recently obtained some information that would seem
to indicate that my grandfather's mother's maiden name was Bella Turkeltaub. According to
my information, my grandfather was born in or at least emigrated from Warsaw. Bella
Turkeltaub was married to a Herman Kuperbloom. Any chance Bella Turkeltaub is
somewhere in
one of your family trees and was married to a Herman Kuperbloom? If yes, any other info
you can offer?
Thanks.

My name is Galit, and I live in Jerusalem. My family came from Lvov. My grandmother's name
was Turkeltaub before she married my grand father. She was the only survivor from her
family - parents, five sisters and one brother. I know her father's first name was
Nathan and her brother's name was Joseph.
Do you have any information about that family in Lvov? if you do, I'd really
appreciate it since both my grandparents passed away years ago when I was too young
to ask them questions and now it seems pretty hard to get any kind of information or
to find out if anyone else from that branch of the family survived the holocaust.
Thank you

My name is Mickey Becker. I now live in Florida by way of Spring Valley, NY
prior to that I lived in Sea Gate Brooklyn, NY and have reason to believe we
may be related.
A relative unknown to me from South America introduced himself to me at my
wedding in 1954 in Brooklyn. One of my grandfathers brothers had a daughter
by the name of Dora Turteltaub who was in show business. |

I had a great aunt whose name was Sara or Dora Brown. I was told that she married the
owner of a grocery or candy store in Brooklyn. His last name, they said, was Turtletaub.
She would have been born some time between 1848 and 1878. She was a chorus girl on the
stage, and another relative said he saw her perform in Omaha in 1910. Do you have such a
person in any of your Turteltaub trees? Beth
PS I love your website! |

In searching for my great aunt Sara or Dora Brown who was said to have
married a Turtletaub in Brooklyn I found the following in the 1920 NY
census index:Samuel Turtletaub, 52, (I
didn't note down where he was born.) 235 S.
4th Street, Brooklyn, wife Dora, 50, born Austria. Children Frank, 25,
Beatrice, 20. Lillian, daughter in law, 20, Samuel Saltzstern,
son-in-law, 22, Lillian, granddaughter, 1 and 3 months.
-----------
Sydney Turtletaub, 24, born Russia, 450 E. 176 St. Bronx. Wife Sara, 24,
born Russia, daughter Edith, 3, born NY.
Do these fit into your research anywhere?

Dear Matias
I have learned the following recently from my brother Saul Turteltaub who uncovered the
formation while traveling to Charleston, South Carolina. In a cemetery named Brith Shalom
there are several Turteltaubs buried. The major "player" in the group was a man
whose name is not spelled correctly but who apparently had offspring too buried in the
cemetary whose name is spelled EL.. They are from the town of Boryslaw, Austria The main
Turtletaub whose first name I can't decipher was a World War I hero. He apparently
distinguished himself in France where he established a gun emplacement and secured an
area. Then there is Max Turteltaub born Aug 24 1898 died March 1 1949, Rosalie Turteltaub
born Jan 8 1872 Died July 26 1917 and her husband Jacob Turteltaub born Jan 15 1878 died
Dec 22 1926.Saul found
out about this group when he went into a restaurant and a waitress with whom he had a
conversation and to whom he told his name said she once worked for a woman who was in love
with Turtletaub, never married him and the waitress knew where he was buried and took Saul
to the cemetery.
Since some of these deaths are relatively recent, I am sure you will be able to trace town
records to find family that really may still be in the area.
I hope this was useful and that you get this E-mail. You can respond to me at my address.
Happy Chanukah.

Dear Matias Turteltaub,
Thank you for your letter to Zvi Galor who is my husband. And Happy New Year. I was born
Raymonde Libermanas in Paris. My mother, Laja (Lotte)
Turkeltaub was born in Warsaw in 1911 or 12 or 13. When she was 17 years
old approximately, she traveled from Poland to Venezuela to visit close family with the
hope to settle there.
She met my father in Paris when on her way to Venezuela. All her sisters and brothers are
dead, or in Poland or in Paris. I settled in Israel in 1973.
Might be interesting if you and me have some drops of same blood.
Kindly to you from Raymonde and Zvi |

Comments I have a cousin who married into the Turkeltaub line (Madeline Katz
and Paul Turkeltaub). I was at the Museum of Jewish Heritage here in
NYC last week and came across the following: "Mina Turkeltaub
(pictured, 1920) and her children traveled from Hungary to the U.S. via
Denmark in 1920. The cards (on display along with her photo) were
used to pass the time on their journey." Could you please tell me
where she fits on your site? I didn't find her on the page Paul's family
appears. Thank you. |
Sent by Al Wirtzbaum
Dear Paul and Matias,
I heard from both of you today in regard to the message I sent each of you about Mina.
Unfortunately, when I was at the Museum I neglected to write down the name of the person
who donated the playing cards and the picture of Mina. The Museum has a web site at
http://www.mjhnyc.org and you may be able to contact them to get that information. Hope
you enjoy meeting each other and let me know how it turns out.
