[Surname] Re: Jewish names from the border of Poland and the Ukraine

Ah, I suspected Breines might mean brown. Charlotte Breines doesn't have recorded parents. Might her mother have been named Breines? She was born around 1840. Probably unlikely. How would a female name become a surname to begin with though?

For some reason I thought -sky / -ski denoted nobility. Evidently that is a myth.

Thanks!
