This information was compiled using Geneanet, specifically this profile, without which it would have been very difficult to grasp the members of the Lerner family.
Iankel Jacob Joseph Lerner (1834 – 1862) married Fanny Lioubowitch (1829 – 1886).
Both were born in Gitomir / Jitomir, Ukraine, which was then part of the Russian Empire.
They had two children, Samuel Anroum Schmoul Iankel Isiowitch Lerner (Anroum) and Isaïe Lerner, born in Gitomir / Jitomir province, in Radomychl.
Isaïe, the first son, was born September 15th 1853 and died November 5th 1899 in Paris.
Anroum was born on September 27th 1858 and died February 26th 1935 in Paris.
As a note, Sacha’s family is also from the Gitomir area, and he too was born in Radomyshl.
Isaïe Lerner, first son of Iankel and Fanny, married Léa Kisloulouk in 1882 while still in Jitomir.
They had five sons and one daughter: Marie, Salomon Charles, Joseph, Samuel, Léon and Bernard.
Beginning with Marie, their firstborn (1878 – 1949): Marie married Léon Lerner (1876 – 1928) and had three sons, two daughters. More information on Marie, including photographs of her family, can be found on Geneanet.
Salomon Charles (1884 – 1918) married Sarah Sarah Céline Grinberg on February 2nd 1909. They had a boy and a girl: Marguerite and Raymond. Salomon died on August 20th 1918 in Paris. Salmon’s fiche matricule, or military record, can be found here.
Joseph Lerner (not to be confused with Berthe’s brother below) (1886 – 1944) married Léontine Apte on September 7th 1911 in Paris. He served in WWI. I did not find any children. Sadly, both Joseph and Léontine were murdered in Auschwitz (deported through Drancy, France). Joseph’s section on the Shoah website can be found here, and Léontine’s can be found here. Joseph had 345 francs on his person, confiscated by the authorities of the camp on May 11th 1944 before his murder.*
Samuel Lerner (1889 – 1931) was born in Paris and not Jitomir like his siblings before him. On June 13th 1922, he married Yvonne Didisheim (1894 – …). They had a boy and a girl, Jean Henri and Paulette Denise. There is little to no information on their children.
Léon Lerner (1891 – 1944) was born in Paris and married Enta Bielnick on October 12th 1922, producing three children: Jacques, Michel and Colette. Sadly, Léon and his wife Enta, as well as their son Jacques, were also killed in Auschwitz. They were taken there via Drancy. Please see the records of Léon, Enta and Jacques. Jacques was killed by the Nazis at only 22 years old. Upon arrival at Drancy, Jacques had 395 francs on his person, confiscated from him by the camp authorities.*
Bernard, the youngest, was born in 1892 and died in 1976. He married Esther Chirkoosky on October 24th 1922 but there is very little information, other than that she was born in 1898 and they had two children, two girls.
Anroum Lerner, second son of Iankel and Fanny, married Rosa Lerner on August 25th 1881 in Jitomir.
They had 3 children, two girls and one boy: Soura, Joseph and Berthe.
Soura (1878 – 1937) married Alfred Charles Menginou Bouette on November 10th 1894, and they divorced February 6th 1923. I found no evidence of children.
Joseph (1885 – 1955) married Suzanne Jeannin on July 25th 1908 and they divorced September 13th 1920. I also did not find any evidence of children.
Berthe (1887 – 1964) married Sacha on March 16th 1914.
Sacha and Berthe had one daughter, Paulette Séverine Zaliouk, who died at the age of nine on May 30th 1925.
*The Mémorial de la Shoah kindly provided information on this process at Drancy. Please see their explanation in French and English:
“Lors de l’arrivée des internés au camp de Drancy, ceux-ci étaient fouillés et leur argent été confisqué par les autorités du camp. En échange, ils recevaient un reçu qui est le document que vous voyez en-dessous de l’inscription “carnet de fouille”.
English translation:
When the prisonners [sic] entered the Drancy camp, they were searched by the authorities and all of their money was confiscated. Instead, they receive a receipt which is the document you see under the inscription “carnet de fouille”.
The ‘carnet de fouille’ is found at the bottom of the ‘receipt’ given back to prisoners.
