Herman Handler - Birth Record


JewishGen's Hungary Database is a treasure, despite there not being digitized original source images available. These indexed birth records from the Historical archive Srem in Serbia have helped tremendously with piecing together the Handler family ancestors.

Following are search results after searching for Herman Handler and Erdevik:


There were two Herman Handlers who had their births registered in Erdevik during this period. Herman Handler, son of Filip [Philip] Handler and Jetti Hubert (born in Erdevik) and Herman Handler, son of Adolf Handler and Katrina -- [Fuchs] (born in Ljuba).

This birth date, 10 February 1882, agrees with the records for Herman Handler who reported this exact birth date and birth place on his naturalization papers in 1912.


And who was Filip Handler? He was a son of Adolf Handler and Kati Fuchs, born 23 October 1852 in Ljuba. He was 21 when his younger brother, Herman was born in 1874, and eight years later, Filip / Philipp fathered a son and named him Herman.
