SCHREINER-Koprivnica*
*Koprivnica
is a town in Croatia, formerly known as Kaproncza (Hungarian) and
Kopreinitz (German)
My SCHREINER
descendancy chart lists an Armin SCHREINER married to Roza SCHREINER,
daughter of Moritz SCHREINER and Babette/Betti nee POLLAK. Of
course, the question is whether they are related and this is an
instance of cousins marrying. On the same tree is Roza's brother
Edo married to Berta WEISS.
According to a Page of Testimony submitted in 1974
for Edo MIKLOS by a man in Los Angeles, Edo's original name was
SCHREINER. The maiden name of his wife, Berta WEISS, is also
given as SCHREINER. The submitter also indicated that Berta and
Edo were 2nd cousins. So not only do we have an instance of
cousins marrying, we also have an instance of a brother and sister
marrying a brother and sister!

If Julius was a son of Aron SCHREINER, then
Edo, Bertha, Armin and Roza would be first cousins, not second
cousins. Unfortunately, none of the records in Koprivnica
indicate Julius' date of birth or his parents. So for the time
being, the exact relationship remains unknown.
