[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] Tischler

[Jerry Frank]

If this were a marriage record and the term followed the name of the woman, 
you could readily assume that the record showed both her maiden name and 
the surname from her previous marriage.

However, since it follows the name of the male, it is unlikely to be a 
previous surname of the wife.  It is more likely to be an occupation - in 
this case a joiner or finish carpenter.  (Note that this may not be a 
precise definition.  A GOOGLE search indicates that there is either 
disagreement over the precise meaning or it can apply to a variety of 
conditions.)

You have not provided a full context for the record so my comment could be 
wrong.
