Descendants of Meyer CHARAPP

13 September 2013

First Generation 1. Unknown CHARAPP was born (date unknown). According to numerous documents referenced in the notes of individuals in the Charapp descendancy, the Charapps were from Neterpince. The documents variously describe Neterpince as being in Austria, Austria-Hungary, Poland and Galacia. According to the ShtetlSeeker on jewishgen.org, the Jewish community of Neterpin'tse was located at latitude and longitude +49° 43' 59.88", +25° 21' 0.00" (http://maps.google.com/maps?q=49.7333,25.3500+(Neterpin'tse)). This puts the town in today's Ukraine, about 250 miles due east of Krawkow, Poland--100 miles east of the border of Poland. In 1900, the best description for the location of Neterpin'tse was probably Galacia--the full offical name of this Austrian province being: the Kingdom of Galicia and Lodomeria, and the Grand Duchy of Krakau with the Duchies of Auschwitz and Zator. However, the political situation was very fluid at his time. See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galicia_(Central_Europe). Thus, it is no wonder that the Charapp's identified themselves with various nationalities upon coming to the United States.

Unknown CHARAPP had the following children: +2 +3

i. Meyer CHARAPP. ii. Moss CHARAPP.

Second Generation 2. Meyer CHARAPP was born (date unknown). According to the Passport Applications of sons Jozef (March 23, 1925) and Max (June 16, 1921), their father's name was Meyer.

Morris, age 38, was listed as a brother of Menes (Max) Charapp in an Application for Exception from the Classification of Alien Enemy dated December 22, 1919, available on footnote.com. Morris is shown as living in Galacia at the time. ii. Yetta CHARAPP, born 1875; married Unknown MINGA. iii. Menes or Mauer "Max" CHARAPP, born July 16, 1875, Neterpin'tse, Austria. iv.

3. Moss CHARAPP was born (date unknown). According to the Ship Manifest of New Amsterdam, arriving June 2, 1913, Aron Charapp's father's name was Moss. Because son Aron was traveling with a Menes Charap, who were from the same town and the same surname, but had different fathers (Aron's father was Moss; Menes' father was Meyer), and they were each going to see their brother, it is likely that and it will be assumed here that Moss and Meyer were brothers and Aron and Menes were first cousins. Moss CHARAPP was married. Moss CHARAPP had the following children: +9

+10

i. Louis Harry CHARAPP, born April 1, 1887, Austria-Hungary; married Annie HACKMAN, 1907, Rankin, Allegheny Co., Pennsylvania; died September 18, 1968, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. ii. Aaron or Aron CHARAPP, born December 28, 1889; married Rachel Clara BECK.

Yetta is shown as living in Galacia at the time. Yetta CHARAPP and Unknown MINGA were married. Unknown MINGA was born (date unknown).

6. Menes or Mauer "Max" CHARAPP was born on July 16, 1875 in Neterpin'tse, Austria. According to the Passenger Manifest of the Nieuw Amsterdam, sailing from Rotterdam on May 24, 1913, a Menes Charap, age 38 (meaning he was born in approximately 1875) traveled to New York. He claimed his nationality as Austrian, he spoke Hebrew and he was from Neterpince, Austria. His nearest relative was his wife, who lived in Neterpince, Galacia. Her name is difficult to read, and could be "Suize". Menes was traveling to see his brother Joseph Charap, at the corner of Miller and Harriet Streets in Rankin, Pennsylvania. Menes was traveling with an Aron Charap, age 23 (meaning he was born in approximately 1890). He claimed his nationality as Austrian, he spoke Hebrew and he was from Neterpince, Austria. His nearest relative was his father Moss, who lived in Neterpince, Galacia. Aron was traveling to Turtle Creek, Pennsylvania to see his brother Levin (possibly Louis, although the handwriting is difficult to read) Charap, in Turtle Creek, Pennsylania. Because Aron and Menes were traveling together, they were from the same town, they had the same surname but had different fathers (Aron's father was Moss; Menes' father was Meyer), and they were each going to see their brother, it is likely that and it will be assumed here that Moss and Meyer were brothers and Aron and Menes were, therefore, first cousins. THIS ASSUMPTION NEEDS TO BE CONFIRMED. 3

According to a Declaration of Intention to become a U.S. Citizen, dated December 30, 1915, Menes was born on March 5, 1875 and he was from Netenpinse, Poland.

Max appears to have filed the application in order to become a citizen, so he could obtain passports for his family, apparently so he could bring them to the United States. The application appears to have been denied because his interview questions were inconsistent with his application (there are no apparent discepancies) , he could not write English and because "subject has apparently not applied himself in the matter of becoming acquainted with the fundamental principles of this Government and is not informed upon general matters pertaining thereto." According to the Passport Application filed by Max Charapp on June 16, 1921, 1. Max was born on July 16, 1875 in Austria, 2. his father was named Meyer, 3. he came to the United States sailing from Rotterdam on May 15, 1913, 4. he lived in the United States for eight years, from 1913 to 1921, and 5. he was living in Braddock, Pennsylvania at the time of his application.

Her name is difficult to read, and could be "Suize". Menes was traveling to see his brother Joseph Charap, at the corner of Miller and Harriet Streets in Rankin, Pennsylvania. Because Aron and Menes were traveling together, they were from the same town, they had the same surname but had different fathers (Aron's father was Moss; Menes' father was Meyer), and they were each going to see their brother, it is likely that and it will be assumed here that Moss and Meyer were brothers and Aron and Menes were, therefore, first cousins.

He lived at 923 Washington Street in Braddock, Pennsylvania. According to the Passenger Manifest of the S.S.

He lived 6405 Monitor St., Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and his business, which he owned, was located at 205 Braddock Ave., Braddock, Pennsylvania.

Mrs. S. Karp, of Cleveland; .Mrs. J. Shoff and daughters, of Greensburg, and Mr. K. Adler, of Tarentum. *** According to his sons Mel and Harvey: He moved to Pittsburgh, PA in the 1920's. In Pittsburgh, he did electrical work and then, he sold lighting fixtures, appliances and, with the advent of the radio, radios. When selling a radio, he would call KDKA and ask them to broadcast in order to make the sale. He had the opportunity to join two partnerships--a company called Bluestone or Hamburg Brothers. Benjamin joined Bluestone, which was in the electrical business, which eventually failed. (The Hamburg Bros. partnership was very successful and became the RCA distributor in Pittsburgh and all of Pennsylvania.) After Bluestone failed (approximately 1927), he operated a service station in Braddock, Pennsylvania that he rented from Grandpa Charapp's nephew, Aaron Charapp. Benjamin then started grocery store in Swissvale, PA (around 1929). He then took over his father-in-law's grocery business in the summer of 1933. The grocery was located at 1 Miller St., Rankin, Pennsylvania. He and his family lived above the grocery store. The store closed in the 1950's, after which Benjamin worked in the Allegheny County Recorder of Deeds office. He was also a member of the Rankin School Board for many years.

29. Seymour Melvin HINDIN was born on September 30, 1926 in Braddock, Allegheny Co., Pennsylvania. He celebrated his bar mitzvah in September, 1939 in Beth Shalom Temple, Squirrel Hill, Allegheny Co., Pennsylvania. He died on December 20, 2007 at the age of 81 in Pasadena, Los Angeles Co., California. Mel graduated form Rankin High School in Rankin, PA in 1943. He attended Penn State University through the US Army ASTP program for a few months until September 1944. He had enlisted in the reserves and as soon as he turned 18, he entered the infantry in August 1944 (Serial No. 13189214). He did basic training for 13 weeks at Camp Blanding, Florida and then went to France. There, he became a member of the 42nd Rainbow Infrantry Division, 232nd Regiment, L Company and, later, M Company. He went to Germany in 1944 where he was with the first troops into Dachau. He was in Munich when the war ended. He earned an ETO Ribbon with two battle stars and a Combat Infrantry Badge. He was discharged from the Army in August 1946. He graduated from the University of Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh, PA (B.A. 1949, M.A. Psychiatric Case Work (Graduate School of Social Work) June 11, 1952). He worked for the State of California, Department of Mental Hygiene, from 1952-55; then the Veterans Administration in 1955-56; then the California Youth Authority as a Supervising Social Worker; then he went into private practice with the Hillcrest Psychiatric Clinic in Alhambra as a psychiatric case worker. He attended Claremont Graduate School working toward his PhD. He was diector of the West Covina Family Service Agency. He eventually became director at the Hathaway Home for Children in Los Angelos from 1967 to 1987. Beginning in 1984 he became a docent with the Los Angelos County Museum of Natural History and eventually became a director of the Gem and Mineral Council, a Fellow and a Member of the Alliance Board of Directors. The following story appeared in the magazine of the Fall 2008 edition of the Newsletter of the Hildegarde Howard Society, which honors and recognizes benefactors who have included the Los Angelos Natural History Museum in their estate plans: Donor Stories Mel Hindin: A Museum Treasure Visitors to the Museum’s Hall of Gems and Minerals have undoubtedly noticed the scores of impressive specimens on display bearing the proud label “Gift of Melvin Hindin.” In fact, some of the most important additions to the Museum’s mineralogy collections in recent years were gifts from Mel. Sadly, Mel passed away last December, but his cherished friendship and legacy of generosity endures. Mel first developed a love for museums as a child growing up in the Pittsburgh area. Though his chosen profession as a social worker was far afield from museums, he never forgot that love. Toward the end of his distinguished career, which culminated in the directorship of the Hathaway Home for Children in Highland Park, Mel decided to “prepare for retirement” by becoming a docent at the Natural History Museum. From 1984 until his death in 2007—a span of nearly a quarter century—the Museum became a major focus of Mel’s life. Mel not only served as a touring docent but also as a volunteer in the Mineral Sciences Department. He was an active member of the Board of Directors of the Museum’s Gem & Mineral Council and played a leadership role as a member of the Museum Alliance. Together with wife Lois Petzold Hindin, Mel was also active in the Fellows Program. As a docent, Mel especially relished giving tours of the Hall of Gems and Minerals, which led him to become acquainted with Dr. Anthony Kampf, the Museum’s Curator of Gems and Minerals. Mel immersed himself in the world of gem and mineral enthusiasts and assembled a fine collection of his own. But Mel always put the Museum first, and during his last 15 years the Museum’s Mineral Sciences Department was the particular beneficiary of Mel’s enthusiastic support.
