Hello all,
I`m looking for any information, survivors, whitnesses of victims or living descendants of any of these befor of the hungarian family Lipkovits/Lipkowitz/Lipkovics or any similar spelling. The last place of resindence they lived - according to what I know - has been the slovakian town Kosice. Unfortunally any contact to this branch of the family broke down after my greatgrandfather BERNAT ABRAM LIPKOVITS died in 1905 (Berlin/Germany).
Here are some family-members from whom I know they have been relatives to my greatgrandfather:
Bernat Abram Lipkovits,
born 1870 in Hungary (I think it has been in Kosice, which is part of slovakia now and has been called Kassa [or in german: Kaschau] before), died 05.08.1905 in Berlin/Germany.
His parents have been
Isaak Lipkovits and Hani Friedmann from Hungary.
Bernat Abram has been the owner of a trading company for good wines and liqueurs in Berlin. He has been married to
Klara Grindel (she`s been not jewish, what is the reason why we all are not jewish today).
They had three daughters:
Lipkovics, Irma (my grandmum !), * Berlin/Germany 13.08.1899, + Marburg/Germany 23.09.1972
oo Johannes Klein, + Marburg/Germany 1973
Lipkovics, Edith, * Berlin/Germany 1900, + Greece 1986(?)
oo Dr. Alexander Wamwetzos, * Greece
Lipkovics, Margot, * Berlin/Germany 1902, + Greece 1985
My grandmum spend some time from 1923 to 1926 in the U.S. for working as an english teacher and for visiting the family. After about 1930 the contact to the amrican part of the family broke down, I don`t know why. But I`ve got a photo-album here about the time of my grandmum in the U.S. with some of the following people being photographed.
Some of the brothers and sisters of Bernat Abram emigrated to the U.S. arround the turn of the 19th / 20th century and in the early years of the 20th century. It`s been ? as far as I know by now - the following people:
Lipkowitz, Jacob * Hungary 1872, + New York 1920 ? 1930
oo Tini Jakobson, * Hungary 1875
Parents of Tini Jakobson have been Alias Jakobson and Regina Berger.
My mum told me that my grandmum often told stories about ?uncle Jake?. He and Tinnie had the following children:
Lipkowitz, Ruth * New York 1902
Lipkowitz, Hattie * New York 1903
Lipkowitz, Arthur * New York 1908
According to the US-census in 1920 and 1930 their location at this time has been Hudson, Columbia, NY.
There has been at least one sister who emigrated to the U.S.
Lipkovits, Mollie, * Hungary 1876
oo Jacob Weiss
As it seems, Jacob Weiss has been the first adress for all the Lipkovits` in New York coming in from Europe. In 1923 his adress has been
185 Lexington Ave.
New York
According to the stories I heard, Jacob Weiss has been ?uncle Jacob? as my grandmum has called him.
Children of Mollie Lipkovits and Jacob Weiss:
Weiss, Henrietta, * New York 1898
Weiss, Sadie, * New York 1900
oo (?) Kramer
daughter of them: Kramer, Regina, * New York 1921
Weiss, Milton, Boxer, * New York 1902
Weiss, Jeanette, * New York 1904
Weiss, Rose S., * New York 1909(?)
One further brother of Bernat Abram emigrating to the U.S. has been
Lipkovits, Josef, Insurance Agent, * Hungary 1882
oo Fannie * 1885
Children of Josef and Fannie Lipkovits:
Lipkovits, Helen, * Conneticut 1909
Lipkovits, Ruth, * New York 1911
Lipkovits, Gertrude, * New York 1914
Lipkovits, Irving, * Conneticut 1915
Lipkovits, Frank, * Conneticut 1918
And there have been the following people:
Lipkowitz, Moses, * Hungary 1886
Lipkovitz, Mov (?), * Hungary
Lipkovits, Hani (?), * Hungary
Please note that the last three people are not confirmed to be ancestors of ?my? Lipkovits ? family. They are only suspected to be so.
At the Ellis-Island-Documents you can find a Josef Lipkovits coming from Tiba/Hungary. He arrived at the US at 21th of May in 1903 at the age of 21 coming from Hamburg onboard the ship Pennsylvania. According to the ship manifest his first destination also has been his brother in law Jacob Weiss in NY. But it might be the he is the same Josef Lipkovits as mentioned before.
Further ?suspect? persons according to the Ellis-Island-documents are the following people:
Terczia Lipkovits from Kelenfatah/Hungary, arrived at the 5th of September in 1911 at the age of 31 onboard the ship ?Kronprinz Wilhelm? from Bremen.
Destination: her husband Lorenz Lipkovits, 1 R FD Spaginaw (?)/Mich (?)
With her on board has been her daughter Pauline Lipkovits, six years old.

looking for family from Poland/ukraine/Galicia; my greatgrandmother was Emilija Ocus, also spelled Oczus, Ochus. She was married to Vladimir Ocus in the mid to late 1800's and lived in Strji. She was born in Starsabol in 1856 with the name of Habiscuwicz (spelling is probably wrong, but close to that). I am searching for any survivors on either side of the family.
