Later, these layers are covered with various materials of glacial origin.

Historical evidence trail formation:

After the revolutionary invention of the kerosene lamp in 1853 year by the Polish chemist and entrepreneur of Armenian origin Ignatius Lukaszewicz (Jan Józef Ignacy Łukasiewicz, 1822 – 1882), began to appreciate the benefits, offered by the petroleum. It was the kind of impulse, which gave rise to the oil industry in the area of ​​Galicia then belonging to the Austro-Hungarian Empire.

Dear Sir or Madam:
For a family history, I am looking for any records or documents relating to my great-grandfather David Becher, who was in the oil industry in Boryslav or Drohobych in the mid-19th Century. In family documents, he is listed as “Bergől Besizter,” the owner of some kind of oil deposits.
I am especially interested in any material that can confirm that David Becher traveled to the United States, possibly in the 1860s, to learn the new method of drilling for oil recently introduced in the state of Pennsylvania. Pennsylvania, in and around the town of Titusville, was the first center of the American oil industry. Any details, including news articles, passport or other travel documents, the name of the ship he traveled on to Pennsylvania, the port of embarkation or of entry in the U.S., the date of his return to Boryslav/Drohobych, would be most welcome. So would more specific information about his business activities in Boryslav or Drohobych.
According to my family’s oral history, David Becher returned from Pennsylvania to Boryslav or Drohobych to introduce the drilling technique in the region and was granted a special pass by representatives of the Kaiser (Boryslav was then part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire ) to travel freely throughout the Empire and be given such aid as he required in his oil business dealings.
The following may be of help in finding material about my great-grandfather: I have documents confirming that David Becher married Chane Rachel Zuckerberger in Boryslav. One of their children, Eisig Isidor Becher(-Zuckerberger), born in 1875, was my grandfather, and he in turn married Hinde Horowitz (or Hinde Dorrewetz) .
If you are able to add to my knowledge of David Becher, especially, and to his life in the oil industry, I would be very grateful.
Thank you in advance for any help you can offer!
Sincerely yours,
Karin Lipson

Hello, Yurly,

I just found your comment about my great-grand-father, which you wrote on April 16! so sorry for the overwight.

Here is some additional information:

My great-grandfather, David Becher, is listed in Boryslav city records as having lived at house number 376. There is also an “area number” (perhaps for the oil proerty) 132, 136, 139, 114/2, 115, 116. Additionally, the records say “surface under 195, 195, 46, 15, 40, 186 fathoms, Potok. Do you have any idea what all this means?

Finally, I found a ships record that confirms that my great-grandfather, David, at age 28 (born circa 1847), was aboard the SS. Pommerania, which landed in New York harbor on June 2, 1875. He is accompanied on the ship’s list by his wife, Chane, age 26, and by a daughter, Rebecda, age 6.

Could this help you find more information about David Becher and hsi role inthe oil industry?

Thank you for any help you can give.

best,

Karin
