I am looking for some help in getting information on my grandmother, Martha Forbrich, who left Posen in 1907.
I am also looking for family information on my great grandfather, Friedrich Jeske, who was from the area of Schoenlanke, and who left there in 1865. Also, I am looking for information on Julius Rudolph Jeske, who left in 1867.

Any help in the area would be appreciated. Thanks.

Both names excist in today's Poland but look to be German or Yiddish.

FORBRICH: Yiddish or Polish respelling of ther German surname Vorbrich (meaning obscure)

JESKE: possibly adaptation of the Jewish girl's first name Yiska.

Very unlikely. Yiska is a rarely used name among Jews in the last 4000 years, although it may have a comeback one day. It was the name of Abraham's niece.

I did hear of the name Yissachar being shortened to Yiska.
