Nyírbátor, Kemecse, Bököny, Pápa and Kalló

Glück, Rózmann, Ornstein & Fisch

Pápa · Bököny · Kemecse · Nyírbátor · Pátroha · Nagykálló · Ungvár

Jetti Glück was born at Nyírbátor on 10 May 1873, the daughter of Sámuel Glück, iron merchant of Nyírbátor (d. 1896), and Betti (Borbála) Rózmann of Pátroha. A gravestone at Nyírbátor of “Frumet, wife of R’ Shmuel Glick”, who died on 24 June 1926 aged 70, is very probably Betti’s — her Hebrew name was Frumet, daughter of R’ Shimon Tzvi Rózmann of Pátroha. Betti’s parents were Samuel (R’ Shimon Hersh) Rosman, landowner of Pátroha, and very probably Sára Leah of Horlyó.

Sámuel’s father was Rabbi Menyhért (R’ Menachem Mendel) Glück of Kemecse (1815–1905), whose stone calls him “son of R’ Gedalya of Bököny”; he founded the Kemecse yeshiva about 1879. Sámuel’s mother was Adel Golda (Leutscha) Edeles — proven by the 1848 census of Szobránc, and by an 1880 signature “Shmuel ben Adel Golda” — not the “Chana” of earlier accounts. Her parents were very probably R’ Moshe Yehuda Leib Edeles of Véke and Chana (Hani) Grünwald (Probable); above them R’ Zeev Wolf of Véke is a possible link. R’ Gedalya (Dániel) Glück was born at Pápa on 15 February 1796 and died at Bököny on 13 November 1881; he wrote Chayei Olam, printed in 1899. His original gravestone at Bököny was found during this research, and he appears in contemporary documents — the Chatam Sofer calls him “my diligent student R’ Gedalya”, and in 1864 he sat as a judge of the Kalló court.

R’ Gedalya’s parents were, very probably, R’ Chanoch (Henoch) Glück of Pápa — listed there in 1828 as “Jud. Gluk Enoch” — and Liba; a probable brother, Elias Glück, was a merchant at Ungvár and died there in 1874. By family tradition (Possible only) the family came from Prague under the name Gad.

R’ Gedalya’s wife Eszti (Esther) Ornstein (d. 1864) was the daughter of R’ Avraham Ornstein of Bököny and a daughter of R’ Yaakov Fisch, Judenrichter of Kalló, who signed in 1797 as “Yaakov Fisch ben R’ Yitzchak” and died on Simchat Torah 1843. His own stone in the Fisch ohel at Nagykálló reads “son of R’ Yitzchak”.

Newly found records

  • Blanka (Berta) Glück, a further sister of Jetti, was born at Nyírbátor on 24 May 1885 and married Sándor Ligesi there on 4 May 1905. A “Berta Ligeti née Glück”, born at Nyírbátor in 1885, daughter of Betti, is on the Hajdúnánás ghetto list of 1944 (a memorial record; that identification Probable). Proven
  • Jetti's brother Herman (Ármin) Glück married Mária Reiz at Kemecse on 1 June 1909 and died at Budapest on 12 June 1947; both records name his parents. He is therefore not the Hersh (Shimon Tzvi) Glück of the memorial record, who stays a separate person. Proven
  • Jetti's sisters: Róza married Vilmos Heimlich (1896) and died at Budapest in 1963; Mali (Amália) Beck died at Budapest in 1956; Hani married Sámuel Ullmann (1899); Relli married Sámuel Weisz (1902). Proven
  • The index row “Mari Glück, b. 1877” is Mali's own 1876 birth as copied in the district register (read on the page itself) — there is no separate Mari. Proven
  • Two more children of R’ Dov Berel (Béla) Glück and Eszter Grünfeld: Benedek (b. Nyírbátor 7 March 1902) and Berta (b. 13 July 1903). Their daughter Anna was born on 6 January 1900. Proven
  • Sámuel Glück's first wife was Gitel (Getl) Aran, whom he married at Nyírbátor in June 1863. She died there on 12 March 1870 (9 Adar II 5630), aged 23. Alei Zikaron 67 names her father as R’ Yuda Aran of Bátor (Probable); the marriage index reads “Jozef”. Proven
  • Their son R’ Dov Berel (Béla) Glück was born at Nyírbátor on 27 March 1864 (19 Adar II 5624) — a half-brother of the siblings' great-grandmother Jetti. A bookkeeper and grocer at Nyírbátor, he married Eszter Grünfeld of Vásárosnamény; their children Katalin (1888), Reli (1890), Salamon (1892), Ida (1894), Sámuel (1898) and Anna (d. 1901) are now on the tree. Sámuel: Auschwitz-Birkenau, 1944 (a memorial record, item 1455377 — Probable). Proven
  • Jetti's own brothers and sisters, from the Nyírbátor birth register: Éva (1872), Mali (1876), Róza (1878), Hani (1880), Móric (1881), Relli (1883), Herman (1887) and Dolfi (1890). Proven
  • Two sons of Shmuel and Fruma Glück of Nyírbátor are remembered in memorial records: Hersh (Shimon Tzvi) Glück, merchant in Budapest — Auschwitz, 1944; and Moshe Glück, merchant at Nyírbátor — Auschwitz, 1944 (items 1339859 and 304254). Probable
  • In 1836 the Chatam Sofer wrote that R’ Moshe Fried of Vértés was about to become related by marriage to his pupil R’ Gedalya Glück (Alei Zikaron 27). A 2026 article holds that the planned match was R’ Menachem Mendel with Esther Fried, and that it did not go ahead; he married Adel Golda Edeles instead. Possible
