Welcome to my Stern Family Web Site!
This web page includes an InterneTree, which is a family tree that you can browse around in. It has many many branches, including the Storches and the Ehrlichs and the Russes and the Bergers and the Kleins and the Warturs and many others.
You can press F for an index of people, and it will then re-form the tree around anyone you select from that list.
Please let me know of any additions or corrections! This web page also includes various photos and information links. I highly recommend that you read the short history of the towns that the Stern family came from, which can be found by clicking the link at the bottom of this page.
THE STERN FAMILY.
I am researching the Stern family from Hungary. Yusrael David Stern was born in about 1817 and died in 1914.
Here is some basic information about our Stern family. Yusrael David and his wife Bertha (Beila) Stern had seven children: sons Herschel, Adolph, Julius, Joseph, Chaim Leib, and Schlomo; and daughter Chaye.
Son Adolph had seven children: Bella, Helen, Faygie, Harry, Philip, Rose, and Sylvia.
Chaim Leib married a woman named Bertha and had four children: sons Adolph and Menachem (Max) and daughters Fannie and Sadie.
Herschel Stern married Sarah Teitlebaum and had sons Joseph and Henry and daughter Bertha. I have a great deal of information about these folks. Please explore this site for some of that information.
Joseph Stern married Tzippora Goldstein and they had seven children: Julius, Bertha, Harry, Charles, Jeanette, Martin, and Joseph Jr.
Julius Stern had three children: Joseph, Henry, and Bella.
Daughter Chaye married Samuel Swartz and they had eight children: Fanny, Bella, Bertha, Esther, Jack, Jerry, Leon, and Morris. Bella married Sam Woodrow -- as did her sister Bertha after Bella died.
We have no information about Shlomo, who was described once as "verschmadt" (though I have no idea what that word means).
THE LEVY/LUBRANETSKY AND FRIESLER FAMILIES.
I am also researching the Lubranetsky family. This family is probably from Brzesc Kujawski, Poland, and originally hailed from Lubraniec, Poland (hence the name Lubranetsky). These towns are in the Wloclawek district (Warsaw Province) of Poland.
My great-great grandfather Abraham Lubranetsky met his wife Leah Sandman in Kutno, Poland, which is also in the Warsaw Province. They later moved to London, where their name changed to Levy. They had many children in London and then immigrated to the U.S. in 1904.
Their granddaughters Helen and Pearl both married into the Stern family.
Any information that you have about these families would be greatly appreciated. I am also more than willing to share and discuss the information that I have.
