[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] Tischler

[Jan Textor]

You can find an excellent German-English & English-German online dictionary at http://dict.leo.org/.
According to this a Tischler is a cabinet maker or joiner or carpenter.  By the way, all nouns start with a capital letter in German, so a capitalized T in Tischler will not tell you whether it is a surname or an occupation.
