The list below first identifies three chains of people carrying the name Karger or Karder in 1816 and 1834.

I. Karger

1816

·         376/194T – 13 August 1816, household #194 headed by Yos Nutkovich Karder, age 18 and brother Aron Karger age 16. No wife for Yos, a wife for Aron – she is Freida age 16. Aron’s marital status in 1816 is notable. It is before Jewish conscription but he is married at 16.  The surname is clearly Karder. Either because the name was Karder, or because it was confused with another family of that name. Every household on the page has a shared note of “missed in 1811 Revision”, so there is no age for him as of that Revision List, nor of any predecessor list.  The household has the tax status of Townsman.

1834

·         134/259T – 20 July 1834, household #259 194 headed by Yos Nutkovich Karder, age 36 (18 in 1816 list), with son Avrum Shmul age 1. Yos’s brother Aron age 34 (16 in 1816 list) and Aron’s sons Menakhem age 5 and Shmul Peysakh age 3. The females are Yos’s wife Mirl age 30, Aron’s wife Freidlya age 30, and a daughter of Aron named Brana, age 1 ½. The household has the tax status of Townsman.

 

II. Karder

1816

·         462/13T 25 Jan 1817, household #13 of Nuta Aizikovich Karder, age 65 and son Aizik age 14. No females in household. They were noted as “missed” in the 1811 Revision. There is no tax status given in this document. But his 7-year old son Shlioma is enumerated as a townsman in 1817, so would be highly unlikely to have the favorable tax status of guild merchant while a minor child was still townsman.

 

·         466/26T 28 Feb 1817, household #26. There are nine households on the page and six are “headed” by young boys under the age of 13. Household #26 only contains Shlioma Nutkovich who is listed in 1817 with the surname of Kaptzan and the age of 7. No females. No others present. He is one of three children on the page who have no mother or other accompanying person. The household has the tax status of Townsman.  In 1834, he appears as Shlioma Nutkovich Karder, referenced to this listing and the age cited for this Revision List matching that of Shlioma Nutkovich Kaptzan)

1834

·         52/139U 20 July 1834, household #139 of those with tax status Guild Merchants. Head is Nuta Aizikovich Karder, though he is dead in 1834, he is still the legal head of family. He died in 1831.  He is noted with the age he had in the 1816 Revision List of 65 and is referenced at household #13 of 1816.  His son Aizik who was 14 in the 1816 Revision List is noted as exiled to Siber [Siberia] in 1832. [Most of the Siberian exiles of 1831-1834 were associated with Polish noblemen who were exiled after “plotting to revolt” and the Jews who were exiled were often their estate administrators]. Nuta’s son Shlioma who was 7 in the previous Revision List had appeared in that Revision List in household #26. That was Shlioma Nutkovich Kaptzan of 1816. Shlioma is now 24 and has a son Idel who is 4. The only female in the household is Shlioma’s wife Rivka who is 23.

 

III. Karyer/Karger

1816

·         445/228 –1816, household #228 headed by Ruvin Avrumovich Shleifer, age 30, his son Srul Avrum age 13, and son Elikim Fishel 10, and nephew Duvid Markelovich Karyer age 40.  Duvid’s wife Rivka age 30. The surname might be Karger, but the letter is not clear.

1834

·         187/480T 20 July 1834, household #480 headed by Yos Yankelovich Reizenfeld, age 30 (age 13 in previous, household #5 (SM1817 458/5).  Household enumerates also Duvid Markelovich Karger, who was 40 in previous Revision List but died in 1822.  No relationship given. There are no females or children associated with either man. The previous Revision List for Reizenfeld is an 1817 Supplement, where Yos Yankelovich Reizenfeld is a thirteen-year old enumerated by himself, so no indication there of why Karger was enumerated in this household. The surname is clearly Karger.

 

By 1850, 1858 there are only 2 households.

I. Karger

1850

·         771/452T 28 Dec 1850, household #452. Head is Yos Nutavich Karger though he is dead in 1850, he is still the legal head of family. He died in 1848. His son Avram Shmul who had been 1 in 1834, was recruited in 1849. Yos’s brother Aron who was 34 in previous Revision is 50.  Aron’s sons: Menakhem who had been 5 in 1834, died in 1835. Shmul Peysakh who was 3 in 1834 is 19. Son Khaskel, not born in 1834 is 16.  Females of the household are Yos’s dtr Khana age 15, and Aron’s dtr Malka age 30. The household has the tax status of Townsman. 

1858

·         1150/416T 25 May 1858 household #416. Head is Aron Nutovich Karger. He was 50 in 1850RL and is 58.  Aron’s two sons are Shmul Peysakh who was 19 and is 27, and son Khaskel who was 16 and is 24. The females of the household are the wives of Shmul Peysakh - Ita Leya (no patronym) age 20 and Khaskel’s wife Rukhlya dtr of Movsha age 20. The household has the tax status of Townsman.  Because Shmul Peysakh’s wife is more than six years younger than him she is likely to be a second wife.

 

II. Karder

1850

·         757/385T 28 Dec 1850, household #385. Head is Shlioma Nutavich Karder. He was 24 in 1850 and is 40 in 1858.  His first son is Yudko who had been 4 in previous Revision and is 20 in 1858. [The previous revision referenced has to be 1834, where Shlioma had a four-year old son Idel. Idel and Yudko are both variants of the name Yuda/ Yehuda. The time lapse between the two ages matches] His second son is Nuta age 14 [who has not had sufficient time since his birth in 1844, to have been named for Shlioma’s father Nuta who reportedly died in 1848] The household includes Shlioma’s “relative” родственник Eli Abramovich Krysberg

1858

·         1198/542G 25 May 1858 household #542. Head is Shlioma Nutavich Karder though he is dead in 1858, he is still the legal head of family. He died in 1853. Though in 1850 Nuta is called his son, he is here called brother. Nuta was recruited in 1853. There is no age given for Nuta as of the previous Revision.  Shlioma’s son Yudko is called “Shlioma’s 2^nd brother” in this listing. He had been 20 and is now 28. The relative enumerated with the household is still just called “Shlioma Nutovich’s relative” but Eli Abramovich Krysberg was noted as exiled in 1854.

 

The 1816 and 1834 origins households where the Karger/ Karder families are named as kinsmen

1816

·         342/31U Kresberg, Abram Eliovich (the father of Krysberg, Elio Abramovich) is in the listing of Aron Usher Shmuliovich Vayner who has Guild Merchant status. Abram Eliovich Kresberg is called the nephew of Aron Shmulovich Vayner. There is no indication that any one of the households was enumerated previously in 1811.  Aron Vayner’s son, wife, and daughters are present. Abram Eliovich Kresberg age 40 and his wife Maryasha and 2 dtrs Miklya and Freida are present.

1834

·         Krysberg, Elio Abramovich is in his father’s listing among those with Guild Merchant Status. Household headed by Abram Eliovich Kresberg who is dead. He had been 40 in 1816 and died in 1824. The household included Abram Eliovich’s two sons. Girsh Nisel Abramovich Krysberg who had been 12 in 1816 SM1817 458/1 and had died in 1829, and Elio Abramovich who had been 2 in 1816 and 20 in 1834.

·         Shleifer, Ruvin Abrumovich whose nephew Duvid Markleovich Karder was listed with him n 1816 is himself listed as the nephew of Ruvin Mordkovich Potrinkerl in 1834. The household included Shleifer’s wife and sons and daughter-in-law, but no new info about the family of Karder.

There is no time in which Shlioma Nutovich Karder is recorded with a family surnamed Kaptzan, so we do not know why the surname was used. The most common reason would be that his father had married a woman surnamed Kaptzan and the family had a double surname. Since there is no more evidence at this time, no conclusions can be drawn. There is only one Kaptzan family in Lyubar, though there were three entries in 1834 for different members of the family tracing back to the same origin.

Conclusions related to the Karger/Karder family.

Only one family was allowed to register a specific surname in 1805 in Lyubar. The name registrant could claim the name as a hereditary surname for himself, his sons, and one son-in-law. You did occasionally have name errors where two people with similar names were reportedly mistakenly with the other’s surname in an official document. Usually there was a reference to the “corrected name” in the next Revision. There is no mention of that in the listings for the Karders or the Kargers of Lyubar.  If there was an error, we can’t tell in which branch it occurred. It may simply be a name change in one branch in the next Revision.  However a clue may be available. There are three branches of the family and two of them used Karger in 1834. Only one son, used Karder going forward from 1834.

My conclusion is that Nuta Aizikovich [Karger] appears in Lyubar with four sons and a son-in-law, with the sons being: Yos Nutkovich age 18, Aron Nutkovich age 16, Aizik Nutkovich 14, and Shlioma Nutkovich age 7. Though Nuta was already 65 years old in 1816, he is recorded with fourteen-year old son Aizik, so the ages of all four of the boys are plausible.  An earlier Revision List might show the mother of the boys, but she is unlikely to have been Nuta’s first wife as gave birth (to Shlioma) in 1810.  Nuta would have been 59 in 1810. The son-in-law is likely to be Duvid Markelovich Karger (1776-1822). Though Duvid appears with a wife in 1816, since she is ten years younger than Duvid, she is likely to be a second wife. Either she or the first wife may have been the Karger.

Related families to your Kargers include Kresberg (Krysberg), Shleifer, possibly Potrinker, and probably Kaptzan. The only evidence related to Kaptzan is that a seven-year old boy was enumerated with that name in 1817 and was using the surname Karder in 1834. Significant, but doesn’t tell us why.

Additional Information:

You can sometimes use the repeating order of the Revision Lists to learn more about your family than appears on the printed page. Sometimes a family is indicated in an earlier Revision to have been part of a family that is now recorded adjacent to them in a later year, either preceding or succeeding your family of interest.  Sometimes a relationship might be deduced such as father-in-law / son in law, by shared combination names for namesakes. You cannot easily do this kind of search if:

·         the person appeared among those taxed as Guild Merchants

·         or if the family is derived from an original record in the Supplements of 1816.

Because of those last limitations, I cannot do a search for those immediately before and after Nuta Aizikovich Karder in 1816 or Shlioma Nutovich Karder in 1834, or for the household in which Duvid Markelovich Karger appeared in either 1816 or 1834.

This is the information from the search of those appearing before and after Yos and Aron Karger between 1816 and 1858. No contextual information can be derived for the Kargers from the sequence data. But context is impacted by additional finds. Even with no new derivable information today, the search is valuable for what it may turn up in the future when no info is included in the search. An in-law, a parent of a child-in-law, or other.

Preceding family 1816 The family before Yos and Aron Karger in 1816 were the Daveners. The family in 1816 was headed by Aron Moshkovich Davner, a forty-year old man. He is enumerated with his wife and son.

Succeding family of 1816. The family after Yos and Aron Karger in 1816 were the Poshatzkis.  The family in 1816 was headed by Berko Itzkovich Poshatzki, a thirty-six year old man. He is enumerated with his wife.

Preceding family 1834 The family before Yos and Aron Karger in 1834 were the Daveners. The family in 1834 was headed by Aron Moshkovich Davener who had died in 1829. The household included four sons of Aron Davener, the head appears to have been his oldest son Moshko. Aron Davener and two of his sons had wives in the household, as well as sons and dtrs.

Succeding family of 1834. The family after Yos and Aron Karger in 1834 were the Posatzkis. The family in 1834 was headed by Berko Itzkovich Posatzki who had died in 1825. The de facto head of family was Berko’s son Gershko Berkovich Posatzki who was 28. Gershko Posatzki and his wife had a young son and dtr.

Preceding family of 1850. The family before Yos and Aron Karger in 1850 were the Khazens. (In 1834 and 1816 the Khazens had been enumerated 2 families before the Kargers.) The head of household of the Khazens is Mikhel Yosevich Khazen, whose household includes an adult deceased son, and a much younger son, just 18 years old in 1850.  Mikhel’s 45-year old wife and 54-year old sister are in the household.

Succeding family of 1850. The family after Yos and Aron Karger in 1850 were the Posatzkis. Gershko Berkovich Posatzki is head of family and the household includes 19-year old son, Gershko’s wife and Gershko’s dtr.

Preceding family of 1858. The family before Aron Karger in 1858 were the Milmans (in 1816 and 1834 the Milmans had been enumerated four families before the Kargers. 

Succeding family of 1858.  The family after Aron Karger in 1858 were the Posatzki. Gershko Berkovich Posatzki is head of family but neither he nor his adult son are present since 1856 in the main revision list of 1858. They both reappear in a July 1858 Supplement with their wives and dtrs.
