The second Deutsch family is descended from Mordechai Hirschel who was a scribe born circa 1730. In the Hebrew records, he was given the Hebrew surname SOFER (meaning scribe). His descendants continued to use the Sofer surname in Hebrew but inexplicitly adopted the German surname DEUTSCH which is used to this very day in Israel and other parts of the world. The DEUTSCH-SOFER family is a subset of the the SCHISCHA clan from Mattersdorf.

The third DEUTSCH family came from Fraunkirchen to Mattersdorf in the late 1700s. They appeared in the Hebrew records as F”K (the abbreviation for Fraunkirchen). There was a great deal of intermarriage in this family with members of the BREUER family from Mattersdorf. Some people in this DEUTSCH family are also descendants of the SCHISCHA clan but not all.

Yitzchok Stroh and I have been able to trace this DEUTSCH-FRAUENKIRCHEN family back to the late 1600s in Frauenkirchen. I believe that this line is likely the same DEUTSCH family as Gabby Rechnitzer’s. What we know of the family is up on Geni.com

I am sorry that it took so long to sort this out. Yitzchok Stroh and I are dependent on the avalability of records.

Thank -you for your introduction to the genteam site.I have checked this out and all the entries relate to the Rechnitzer family from Vienna.
We were not connected with this Family to the best of my knowledge and it is still a remaining mystery whether and if yes-when our Ancestors originated from Rechnitz.

Thanks again to anyone who may still be able to provide me with some clues.

Many thanks to Carole Vogel for your information regarding the family name of Deutsch. My great- grandmother was actually called Klarel Deutch and was buried in Frauenkirchen in 1930 in front of her Father -Yehuda Leib Deutch(d.1909)-son of Klonimus Deutch.There were many members of this family recorded in the Town records throughout the 1800’s and many were still living in Frauenkirchen at the time of the Anchluss.From what you say it appears that this family may have originated from Mattersdorf ?

In the early census there was a man named Hirschel NEUFELD who lived in Mattersdorf but census information clearly shows that he was born in Strassnitz, Moravia. Best guess is that he lived in Neufeld prior to coming to Mattersdorf.

So your ancestor may indeed have been born in Rechnitz (most likely explanation) but it is possible that he was born elsewhere and only lived in Rechnitz for a certain amount of time before moving elsewhere.
