Fred,

What a strange set of coincidences. My father's name was Fred Wander (although his "real" name was Ephraim), and his older brother was named Joseph. Their father's name, however, was Avram Nechemia. They came from a village (Sassov) near Lvov, now in Ukraine.

Maybe there is some connection.

Amazing! I wonder if a member of her family was Solomon Wander, my great grandfather, one of his sons being Fred Wander, my grandfather, who I'm named after?

Solomon's other sons were named Joseph, Sam and Manny. I assume some of these names along with Fred came from ancestors in the Wander family line.

Where do you live? I live in Albany, NY.

Re: Wander, Fred

Fred (Ephraim Elisha) Wander was my father. He was born in Sassow near Lvov (then Austria, later Poland, now Ukraine) on December 30, 1912. He told us that his father, Avram Nechemia, actually had the family name Zeigert (sp?), but that for some legalistic reason, he wound up with the name Wander on his birth certificate. If I remember correctly, the Wander name was somehow associated with his mother's side of the family.

Hi Craig: Thanks for the reply. With Keila Wander, Lieb Schlenger had the following children:Itzik Schlenger, Hiam,David,Feige,Frieda, & Abraham.
With Rose Wander, he had:Clara,Gossie,Blema, & Minnie b.abt1860; d. abt 1940.

This is all I have on the Wander family. Hope this helps. You can e-mail me at Cocky2318@aol.com. This is easier than using the boards.

Hello Stewart...
At first glance I was ready to say that I didn't see any connection but after Lois's note there are lots of indications that there might be some relationship. It is interesting that I named my only daughter Sara Wander. Brody is the farthest back I have found my beginnings. My great Grandfather Solomon Wander was born in Brody and moved to Albany NY at a very young age on the mid-1800's.

Just went back into roots to check messages and ran across you name,Wander. It seems that my grt-grt-grt-grandfather, Lieb Schlenger, was married to Keila Wander, 1st wife, and then married Rose Wander (2nd) in Galicia. Could there be a connection. My grandmother, Gussie Schlenger, was Lieb's granddaughter.

Dear Dean, Thanks for replying. Do you have any of the original source documents, such as letters? I'd be interested in copies of any letters Alwin received from my grandfather William Wanderer from Philadelphia, PA, his brother Frank from Lancaster, PA, or his uncle Frederick who was either from New Jersery or Philadelphia. I don't know if this is possible of if such letters exist; I'd gladly reimburse you for copies, postage, etc. Please email me privately at herobird2@comcast.net if you'd like to discuss this further.
Thanks very much! Lisa

Hi Lisa,
I am Alwin Wanderer's grandaughter, & I have a copy of the book. However, it was passed down thru male descendants that carry on the name, so the official book is with my second cousin Dean Wanderer in Washington D.C. I believe he is with the Navy there. I will check with my aunt Margaret Best, Alwin's daughter, as the where the official book is & whether it has been "kept up to date" - last I heard she didn't know. But I will email her sons, my cousins, to see if anyone knows the status.

I am up in Anchorage, so email is pretty much my only resourse other than a monthly call to my aunt. I usually don't have time to do genealogy (until I retire from the Natl. Archives) other than helping people here at work, but I got curious on my break time & wandered thru the message board & saw your message. In time, I may try to update my book &/or track down offshoots of the family, like minorities which my grandfather would not ackknowledge. Anyway, keep in touch - reach me directly at judy.petersen@nara.gov. Judy Wanderer Petersen

There was also a Joseph Wander in my family. He is my grandfather's brother. Their father was Solomon Wander who came from Brody. I have an idea that Solomon's father was Joseph.

Re: WANDER in Brooklyn

2003-07-10 02:59:41Z

I noticed your message that said your father was Max Wander. I know that I am related to a Max Wander that I believe taught at Columbia in NYC. Is this the same Max Wander who is your father?

Re: WANDER's from Alsace

No I do not. The records of the Wander's from Southern Germany/Northern France are Ev-Luth and Roformed.

Re: WANDER's from Alsace

2003-06-14 11:42:29Z

Do you know if the origin of the name is Jewish? Our family is from tarnow (Poland)?

It would be tempting to push for a connection, but the Wander family in my line is from Zemplen, Hungary. Only brothers I have identified in Brooklyin so far are Irving and Herman. Their mother was Julia or Leah, who immigrated with them from Hungary. My great-aunt Clara married Irving.

Re: WANDER in Brooklyn

2003-03-14 18:33:47Z

IS IT POSSIBLE THAT CLARA IS THE COUSIN OF MY FATHER MAX WANDER. MY FATHER IS LIVING NOW IN BELGIUM BUT HE LIVED IN THE PAST IN BROOKLYN.
I DESESPERATLY TRY TO FIND IF WE HAVE FAMILY IN U.S. MY FATHER IS BORN IN BELGIUM IN 1929. HIS FATHER MY GRAND FATHER JOSEPH WANDER DIED IN BELGIUM IN 1976. MY GRAND FATHER WAS FROM TARNOW.

Alwin Wanderer of Chicago

2003-02-11 01:51:02Z

Am searching for descendents of Alwin Wanderer of Chicago. In the 1950s he authored a family history entitled The Wander-Wanderer Family of Germany & Bohemia. I have a partial copy; this is also available on microfilm from any Family History Center. I would like to know if his descendents have any of his original source documents that he used to complile the history. I have verified some of the information contained in it about my Wanderer line, so I believe that the history is legitimate. Would love to discuss it with others. Thanks, Lisa

Re: WANDER in Brooklyn

2003-02-07 14:35:56Z

Irving Wander is the brother of my Great Grandfather Herman. I can tell you a fair amount about their perrsonal history even though it is not complete. Their mother was named Leah and Irving was born in Zenplen, Hungary on Aug 16, 1905.

Hi In the site "Dannes camiers" or La Memoire de Dannes Camiers you have a list from Jewish People try to find Joseph Wander. Last few days they just add photos of my family my father my frand mother and my father.They also insert papers when my grand father came from Poland. I tried to open these files but I didn't success. I will try to contact the direction of this site to see what's happen.
Shalom,

Do you know if they came from Brody, which is now in the Ukraine?

Re: WANDER in Brooklyn

2003-07-11 12:17:43Z

Hi Fred, I don't think that we are from the same family! The father from my grand father was called Michael or Michel. My grand father Joseph died in belgium and was born in Tarnow, Cracow in 1901. He came to Belgium from Poland in 1923 and his wife was called Fraida Zelkowicz (this is my second name). She was also from Poland. My grand father was taken to a work camp in northern France: St Omer and escape from the train on 31-10-1942.

My father Max Wander never taught!! The mother of my grand father was called Fenichel.
Shalom!
Brenda

The site you gave me for your grandfather; is it a regular web site or how do I check it? Thanks.

Re: WANDER in Brooklyn

2003-07-10 21:35:00Z

Thank you for such a quick respone. We could well be related. Did the Wander family that you are a part of originally come from Brody in what is now the Ukraine? Also, did Max Wander teach at Columbia College?

My greatgrandfather, Solomon Wander came from Brody (it was part of Galecia) around 1880, with his wife, Louisa Landow Wander. I heard Solomon's father was a Rabbi and I only suspect his name was Joseph.Solomon brought with him a sister, Rosa who married a Klein. There was a cousing, Norton Wander who I believe was a teacher at Hunter College. Also, there is a cousin, Lois Dunn Whitcomb in California, whose grandmother was also a sister to Solomon.

Does any of this sound familiar? My cell number, if you wish, is 518-461-9229. Thanks.
