Hello, I am the great-granddaughter of Avram Katz from Piatra Neamt. I am interested in the connection between the family names Katz and Cohen. My grandfather, Haim (Harry) Cohen, was born to Avram Katz, but used Cohen as his surname when he arrived in the US -- perhaps an error on the ship manifest or in immigration records, or perhaps an alternate transliteration of the Hebrew, a name variant, etc. Any other Katz-become-Cohens out there?

Re: KATZ - PIATRA NEAMT (update)

kernmishpucha — 2012-06-28 17:36:49Z

thank you. I don't believe she is any further back than i am at this point, though.

The 1774 Census lists 14 Jews and the 1852 list 634. There are only 100,000 people there now. Since we both have Katz' from there in our families, i believe there has to be a connection. Just have to find it.

I have a Romanian friend at work. he is from a town a couple hundred miles from there, in the heart of Transylvania. I am going to press him into service. I will happily share what ever turns up.

My great grandfather was Haim/Hirshele/Herman Katz. When he was in the military he went by Ida Catz. He was born in Piatra Neams. His parents were Haim and Brucha Katz. He was, I believe, the youngest of four brothers. The family was in the lumber business, and the parents died young (in Romania). Harry married Bertha Gutman (from Bacu, I believe, parents Buni and Yona), whose parents were also in the lumber business, and moved to the United States around 1901.

The Gutmans were related to the Beingolds, also in the lumber business. My grandfather, who said he ws born in Focsami in 1885, was originally Joseph Beingold, but when his father died in a fire when Joseph was a young child, his mother Devorah married a man named Scharf....also from area (Bacu?) who adopted him. Any information relating to these names would be wonderful as well.

If you contact your cousin Sheri she has more details of your family - however there doesn't appear to be any connection to mine.

Good luck

only 11 years late to the party. but i guess that's why these things are never deleted.

i have a avram katz (abt. 1834)from piatra neamt as my great-great-grandfather who was married to a golda. his son, harry cohen (in my tree) and his sister anna, came to america to settle in ohio.

harry, on the passenger manifest was listed as haine cohen.

i have just started on this line, so i don't know much. is there any overlap there?

Rachel,

I am your cousin, Elizabeth Fletcher. My mother was Evelyn, one of Marty's sisters, along the Mollie. Your grandmother, and mine, was Anna Davidson, probably changed from Davidovic, or something similar. She was also born in Romania but she was very young when she came to the US. Grandma Anna did not get along with Grandpa Klapper and they got a divorce in the 1930s during the depression.

Cohen,Katz of Piatra Neamt

2011-02-10 18:02:51Z

Avrum & Golda Katz of Piatra Neamt, 1800s. Had 7-8 children. All but one emigrated to U.S. 1900-1910: Solomon, Isidore, Harry, Rose, Annie, Louis. Family took the name Cohen in this country. The one who stayed in Romania was Joseph. Family lost contact with him in 1930s. It is said the father Avrum migrated to Palestine after Golda's death (probably 1910-1920). Would like to hear if any survivors of Joseph are out there, by some luck, or from cousins here in U.S. My father is Alfred Kern, son of Harry.

Thank you Sheri for the information. I will continue to search for them. I did find Annie Cohen Press on the 1930 census living with her daughter Gertrude who married Joseph Schneer but the name appears as Snyder on the census. They were living in Allentown, Pennsylvania. I found another record that shows that Annie died in 1937 in Norwalk, CN

I do not know of a Shmil in my line unless he Americanized his name. Of course, he could be a cousin. I can go back only to Avram and Golda Katz in Piatra Neamt, whose children were born in the 1880s. They were Clara, Sol, Isidore, Harry, Annie, Rose, Josef and Louis. All but Josef came to the U.S. between 1900 and 1910. After Golda died, Avram went to Palestine. Josef and his family (wife and 2 boys) were lost in the holocaust--at least no one had contact with them after the late 1930s.

Re: Abraham Louis Klapper, 26 Nov 1894, Tirgu Neamtz, Romania

rachellazzar — 2010-04-01 22:34:41Z

I believe this was my father's father, likely born as Avram Lazarovici, and changed to Abe Klapper upon migration to the U.S. My name as a kid was "Klapper" but my father changed his and my names to "Lazzar" in honor of his Lazarovici ancestors. I'd like to find out more about his wife - I don't even have her maiden name and would like to find out her origin. I believe they were married in Philadephia. What is your association with Abraham Klapper, and does this sound like the same person? I'm curious to know pretty much anything.

Re: Cohen,Katz of Piatra Neamt--new email

hello,
I typed in the name of my great great grandfather, shmil katz, and this conversation came up. I know he was around in the mid-late 1800s until 1920s around? He lived in piatra neamt, romania and his son was leon katz. I am not sure if your shmil is the same one.

And now I'm pretty sure that grandmother's family name was Lauer.

Surname FEDELES

Looking for anyone who knows anything about surname FEDELES. Trying to make contact with one of the many Fedeles from Romania. I have information on our surname leading to minor nobility in 1500s and a town named after us in Zakarpatska Oblast, Ukraine. Reason to believe we are all one big family.

My great-grandfather was Vasil Fedeles who came from Zarich'nye (old Drugehaza or Zaricso). Could also be from Fedelesfalva. He migrated to USA in 1911 at age 19 and married Julia Pekar then Anna Gonda. He was probably Rusyn. Mother was Maria Kelemanik and siblings were Cyril, Andrej, Maria and Viera.

Even if nothing sounds familiar I want to make contact with any Romanian FEDELES. Please write.
