The name Berg is a contraction of the Polish-Jewish name Kurcberg, of which little is known. My grandfather Szuja Kurcberg married Hudis Baran in Lowicz in the 1920s, but his background remains a mystery. Central European records are confusing, with their mixture of Polish, Yiddish, Russian and German spelling. Records exist for Kurcbart, Gjertsberg, Kurcbjerg and various other permutations. If anyone out there knows of any relatives of Szuja and Hudis of Lowicz, near Lodz, Poland, please contact me. My wife's family are the Sells, traceable back to Scotland and England, and even appearing on the island of St Helena! Her mother's family are the Millmans and Sofield's (of Perth), and her great great grandmother was from Tipperary in Ireland. Coming soon: Wolf Kurcberg's life story. Back to Bergnet |
