Czesner / Czesny / Czesna Family Genealogy

If you see any connections in the below, please contact us.

Surnames of those in my direct ancestral line appear in BOLD.


Note: *The earliest generations of the tree are currently unproven. This is my theory about the ancestry based on the records I have access to. I have been unable to confirm the names of the parents of my ancestor Zelman Czesner (born in the 1860s near Chelm).

FAMILY ORIGINS

Czesner and its variants are pronounced "chess-ner" despite the different spellings of the surname. JRI-Poland records lists 246 Czesnys, 112 Czesnas, and 90 Szczesnys in the Lublin region. Many of the Chelm records are still not online.

There were five brothers probably born around 1785 to 1810 in the Zastawie, Poland area -- Jankiel, Zelman, Srul (Izrael), Nuta and Hersh -- and their descendants lived in and around the areas surrounding Chelm and Wlodawa, Poland. These brothers were Hasidic and had many offspring, and therefore there were many descendants of the family in the areas of Chelm and Wlodawa. Sadly, most of the family was murdered in the Holocaust. Those who survived likely changed their surnames to Chesner, Cesner, Casner, Chesny, or a derivative.

In a document from 1842, it is clear that early family members lived in the village of Zastawie, located within the Uhrusk Commune in Wlodawa County. According to the document, "It took place in the Town of Rejowiec on the sixth of August, 1842 at two o'clock in the afternoon. An Orthodox Jew, Szypsel Mandelbaum, deputizing for the local Rabbi, showed up in person accompanied by an Orthodox Jew Abraham Janklowicz Czesny, the bachelor aged 19, residing in the Village of Zastawie, being supported by his parents. Born in the Village of Zastawie located within Uhrusk Commune, the begotten son of a married couple, namely Jankiel and Tauba Czesny, both still alive, as well as Sura Bayla Merynsztayn, the maiden aged 17, residing in the Village of Wierzchowiny, the begotten daughter of a married couple, namely Chaja and Mordko Merynsztayn, the latter not alive anymore, and declared in the presence of witnesses, namely Mordko Borensztayn, the szkolnik aged 54 and Moszko Kam, the szkolnik aged 43, both residing in the Town of Rejowiec, that the religious marriage had been entered into on that day by the bachelor Abraham Janklowicz Czesny and the maiden Sura Bayla Merynsztayn. The marriage had been preceded by a triple calling of banns in the synagogue in Rejowiec as well as in the synagogue in Wlodawa, i.e., on July 16, on July 23, and on the July 30 of the current year, 1842, and the verbal consent to marriage had been granted by the parents of the newly married. No impediments to a proposed marriage had occurred. The newly married declared they had not signed any premarital agreement. The above certificate was read aloud to the appeared and the witnesses and was signed by all of them except for the bride, as she was illiterate."

Significant numbers of Czesnys were living in Chelm, Dubienka, Swierze, Tyszowce, and Wlodawa before 1870. One or two families were living in Rejowiec, Uchanie, and Wojslawice as well.

The earliest traces of my branch of the family are through Zelman Czesner, born in the 1860s in Sawin, Poland. I created a memorial website for the village of Sawin. Other information on the village is below. I have been unable to confirm the names of his parents. My recent family had branches in Chelm, Rejowiec, and Sawin before the war.

ZASTAWIE, POLAND

Wola Uhruska is an administrative district in Wlodawa County and is approximately 27 kilometers (17 miles) south of Wlodawa and 75 kilometers (47 miles) east of the regional capital Lublin. Neighboring administrative districts include the Sawin district and the Wlodawa district.

The current district population is 4,170. Within the Wola Uhruska district, on the current Ukraine border with Poland, is a tiny settlement called Zastawie. West of Zastawie is Uhrusk and a little further west is Sawin, which is north of Chelm. Here is a map of the rural area where the Czesner family lived in the late 1700s and early 1800s:

Wola Uhruska had 3 Jews leading up to the Holocaust; Zastawie had 9 Jews leading up to the Holocaust; and Sawin had 882 Jews leading up to the Holocaust. These were rural communities.

CHELM, POLAND

The Czesner family lived in and around Chelm, Poland. Jewish folklore considers the Jewish residents of Chelm to be fools. There are many stories about their “smart" behavior. While certainly entertaining, the stories are simply that -- stories. The people of Chelm were distinguished and wise. Hassidic life in Europe was based in and around the Chelm and Lublin areas. Unfortunately, most of the Jewish population of Chelm was exterminated in the Holocaust. Please visit our website to memorialize Jewish Chelm.

ZELMAN CZESNER, BORN CIRCA 1865

The naming pattern in the family has made identifying its relationships rather tricky. Great-great-grandfather Zalman Czesner was probably named for his grandfather or great-grandfather Zelman Czesny, one of the original brothers. It has been difficult to prove because Zelman Czesner's birth record does not appear to exist. Zelman Czesner had red hair and operated a cooking oil production factory in Chelm. His wife Sura Riwka Czesner wore a schadel (head covering) and was overweight. They resided at Ogrodowa Street #7 in Chelm. Both he and his wife lived up to the beginning of the Holocaust. Nearly all of Jewish Chelm was wiped out in the Holocaust. Zelman and Sura Rywka had five children who lived until adulthood:

- Rechja (Ruchla) Czesner married Moszko Gaut in Chelm and had two daughters. How they perished in the war is unknown; and
- Chana Czesner, my great-grandmother, escaped with her family to Russia;
- Chaskiel Czesner emigrated to Buenos Aires, Argentina in the 1930s and has living descendants in Israel;
- Shulom Czesner worked in lumber and resided with his wife and daughter in Rejowiec. Yad Vashem records his daughter Chaja Tova Czesner's death in 1942;
- Miriam Czesner, who had beautiful red hair and was the youngest daughter, was single and living at home when the Holocaust broke out. Her manner of death is unknown.

GER HASIDISM

Our branch of the Czesner family was Hasidic and followed the Ger branch of Hasidic Orthodox Judaism that originated in Gora Kalwaria, Poland. Avraham (Awrum), the father of my great-great-grandmother Sura Rifka (Sara Rywka) Czesner (maiden name Lazer), was a very pious man. He was called "Avrumele essig macher" and lived in Chelm. He had dark hair, a long beard, and wore a long black coat and round felt hat. He spent his free time praying and learning Torah. He was considered a tzadik in southeast Poland.

EMIGRATION OF FAMILY MEMBERS

The online Ellis Island database, accessible through JewishGen, lists the following Czesners who emigrated to America:

Jakob Czesny from Poland, age 22, born 1871, emigrated 1893
Bluma Czesner from Lublin, age 24, born 1882, emigrated 1906
Buresh (Baruch?) Czesner from Lublin, age 4, born 1902, arrived 1906
Schlomie Czesner from Lublin, age 1, born 1905, emigrated 1906
Wolf Czesner from Lublin, age 2, born 1904, emigrated 1906
Rajzel Czesny from unknown, age 44, born 1864, emigrated 1908
Fajga Czesny from Luboml, age 19, born 1894, emigrated 1910
Frajda Czesner from Wlodawa, age 37, born 1883, emigrated 1920
Josef Czesner from Wlodawa, age 11, born 1909, emigrated 1920
Ester Czesna from Chelm, age 21, born 1900, emigrated 1921
Jankiel Czesny from Chelm, age 27, born 1894, emigrated 1921
Ester Czesner from Krugil(?), age 29, born 1892, emigrated 1921

The birthdates are approximations based on the age at the time of leaving. Other Czesners listed were from Russia: Froim, b. 1901; Lajzer, b. 1879; Malka, age 7; Margules, b. 1885; Moshe, b. 1889; Sasha, b. 1896; Slawa, b. 1876; Sussa, b. 1897.
(Source: Ellis Island Database.)

Descendants of the family went to Argentina, Australia, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, Cuba, Israel, the United Kingdom, and the United States. I am in touch with descendants in each of these locations.

According to various Holocaust databases, the following members of the family survived the Holocaust: Miriam Czesner from Chelm (born 1926) went to Sweden and then United States; Szloma Czesner and Berko Czesner are both listed in Pinkas HaNitzolim II, indicating that they survived the concentration camps; and siblings Moshe and Liba Czesner both survived and were in Diebold, Germany in 1945 (and then went to Israel). Additionally, the Monitor Polski Court Announcements has a listing for a Perla Czesny Tuchman.

SURNAME ORIGINS

The surname Czesner derives from the Russian chestnyy, which means "honest". The name was spelled in the following ways: Szczesny, Szczesno, Szczesner, Szczesna, Czesner, Czesny, Casner, Czasner, and Czesna. There seem to be several non-Jewish families who also adopted the surname Szczesny.

The surname Orensztejn is an ornamental name composed of a Yiddish variant of horn and stein or "stone". The horn part of the surname may be purely ornamental or may refer to the ram's horn (Hebrew shofar) blown in the synagogue.
