Bertha’s parents were Abraham Yitzak Charipper and Sarah Zarke. Abraham was from Brody and was a barber by trade.
We are not sure where Sarah was born and raised. Abraham and Sarah had 9 children that we know of with only 4 surviving to adulthood: Elle, Chaje, Taube, Rachel, Reisel, Henia, Aaron, Bertha and Herman. There is a possibility that Rosa was also their daughter.
Before Sarah, Abraham was married to Elle, but she died in 1848. He had at least 2 children with her, meaning that Bertha had half-siblings.
