[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] Tischler

[Gary Warner]

 Delores,

There is also a list of occupations on our web site at
http://www.sggee.org/TranslationHelps.html (near the bottom of the page-
use the second link, as it is in English.

The entry shows

Tischer, Tischler, Tischmacher, Tischner - tablemaker; joiner

Be aware, however, that German surnames often are a profession or
occupation.  For instance, my surnames include Jaeger= hunter or rifleman
and Geiger= violinist

Perhaps you can tell more if you can tell if the T in Tischler is
capitalized or not?  A lower case would likely mean an occupation, but an
upper case letter would like really mean a surname).

  Delores,

  I have compiled a list of occupations that I have been using while
  extracting information from the records.  One day I hope to have it
  printed
  in the SGGEE Journal.

  My list shows Tischler as a cabinet or furniture maker.

  Behind one of my ancestors names in brackets is written(Tischler). 
  Is this
  a name or an occupation or the maiden name of a previous spouse.  I
  assume
  that he may have had one as he was 30.
