Inquiry:
Your Lvov site is a terrific source for information. Unfortunately, my father was four years old
when he left Lemberg in 1905, and couldn't remember anything about the city. My grandfather died
before I ever became so interested in our family history, and I therefore, regret not having asked
more of him.
The family name of Goldner was said to originally be some variant of Parnes, Parness or Parnis. My
grandfather's (or great grandfather's) generation renamed themselves back in Austria-Hungary as
Goldner, after a "g'veer" (an important individual) of Lemberg. The reasons for the name change are
no longer known. We're Jewish, but I've come across Goldners who are Christian.
My grandfather Elias was born in Lemberg in 1870 to Wolf Zev. We don't know Elias' mother's name.
Elias was a grain dealer, buying from farmers and selling to wholesalers.
Elias married Leja Krumztock, daughter of Reb Mo(i)she Daniel Krumztock of Warsaw. (The family name
may have been spelled Kramsztyk.) Leja's mother's maiden name may have been Blume. Either Leja or
Elias came from a family with an innkeeper.
Elias emigrated to Philadelphia in 1903. The name Wisloboki, not Lemberg, appears on the ship's log
as the city of origin and is repeated on my father's naturalization papers. Perhaps Wisloboki was a
neighborhood in, or suburb of, Lemberg. My grandfather sent for his family in 1905.
Does these names sound familiar to any Galizianers? Does anyone know what or where Wisloboki was
back at the turn of the century?

Thank you for putting up this informative site. Like many others in this guestbook, I am interested
in searching my roots. I learned that my grandfather's family came from Lemburg originally. They
emigrated to the USA some time before World War 1. Apparently they were some kind of innkeepers at
the end of the 19th century and I remember hearing that Kaiser Wilhelm had stopped at the inn.
Does anyone know the name "Springer" or, originally, "Spruenger"? My grandmother's family was
"Tishler", also from the area, I believe. Can someone direct me to additional sites I can
search?

How is the weather in Lviv? I have a great interest in your city because my grandparents used to

My grandfather used to work at 11 Pekarsky Street, which is downtown Lviv, could you tell me if
these two addresses still exist. The business address consists of two three story buildings, and the
other address was a beautiful residential house, I would appreciate any information you can find on

I was wondering who I would contact when looking for my great grandmother's family. There is a
possibility that she might have come from Lviv. Her name was Marianna Deregielambo. She married a
Roch Zima. Their daughter, in turn, married my grandfather in the USA. They were both from small
villages in what is now Southern Poland, outside of Krosno, Jasionka and Lubatowa. It is not usual
for people with Italian surnames to be found in this area. I'm guessing that Marianna's father was
some type of travelling artisan, painter, stone mason, or horsethief. God only knows. Please let me
know of who I might contact in Lviv that might shed some light on the matter.
Sincerely, Paul P. Valtos (Woltusz*)

Inquiry:
I have started a search on my father's family. I am told they came from Lemberg or a town nearby
named Przemyslana. I believe, if my recollection of what has been told to me, my grandfather,
Meier(spelling) was a beer distributor and was on the City Council of Lemberg in the early 1900's.
My grandmother, Taube, came to the US after WWII.
I did locate a listing of names from towns under "poland/austria/russia" where there was a listing
of surnames, given names, year, "akt" (?) and type (Marriage, Birth, Death) which I cannot seem to
get back to. The name was not listed as Zell but as Joel. I presume that the latter name may be
pronounced as we pronounce the former with a soft "zed". Is this so? If so, then the name may have
been changed when my father came to the US in 1910/11/12(?).
Is there an on-line date file where I can get closer to the information I'm looking for?
Thank you,

Hi ! I really don't know, whether I should use English or rather try it out in Russian, but as I
believe , not everybody here is either Ukrainian (sorry, can't do it on my Netscape e-mail) or
Russian speaker (KOI-8), I'll go into English.
Yeah, really tnx for Lvov's page. I left it at 1974 and was quite eager to see it again - and I did
it twice, bringing the second time my older boy for his bar-mitzva trip to see the beauties of my
home town. Even though it was somewhat dirty and drab, - I still was proud of it. By the way, I'm
52nd school 1970 graduate and my English teacher was Yekaterina Vasilyevna (don't remember her
surname, but if she still leaves - can somebody give her a kiss on my behalf?)
My only hope for Lviv is that city's fathers will come to their senses, will recall the city's
international character despite the bad blood between Ukrainians, Russians, Jews and Poles, will
tame the most outrageous nationalists, will stop looking for their own immediate good and will start
pouring more effort and vigor into re-making of Lviv.
