  NOTE: Neither this Berliner nor another nicknamed "Beth" are responsible for a computer virus
  erroneously attributed to one of them through a "Post Office" series of e-mail forwardings.

Berliner Classic Motorcars, Inc., classic and antique cars and all sorts of memorabilia (now, here's a site after my own heart! - although their idea of "classic" runs heavily to Vettes and T-Birds), in Dania, Florida, (just a few miles south of Ft. Lauderdale)- W. Berliner.

Aha!  I thought I knew a Francesca K(empinski). Berliner and would no longer have to cheat a little here by merely noting that my paternal grandmother's middle name was Fredericka; however, it would now appear that such a "lady" is a figment of her own perfervid (and fevered) e-magination.  If a person claiming to be her harasses or threatens you, you'd better contact your District Attorney and please let me know the details of the contact.

My great-uncle, George Berliner, brother of my grandfather, was Fiscal Agent for the Cape of Good Hope, in Capetown, South Africa, died in Newlands, SA, ca. 1921, and was shipped back here to NY (for burial, in brutally hot weather) curled up fetal fashion in a tin garbage can filled with alcohol and with the lid securely soldered on; upon his arrival, no one would risk opening the can, so Uncle George reposes upright in the family plot!  So, the poor guy went to his grave pickled!  See also his brother, my Great-Uncle Rudolph Berliner.

Musically, Jeff "Dirk" Berliner's¹ main interest is music, both as a listener and a player, and he is co-founder (see also brother Erik, above) and bassist of Anthem, his progressive rock band, based in Brooklyn, NY.  Professonally, Jeff, who got his Bachelors degree in Computer Science from SUNY Albany and was a network analyst for the Educational Computing Department of the New York University Medical Center is now (30 Dec 99) the Systems Administrator for Educational Computing and the webmaster for Academic Computing (heading the Systems and Security Group) at NYU.

Jeff Berliner², someone of note at Bolt, Beranek & Newman - damned if I can figure out what he does; you try!  He also lists a Jon and Liz B.

Jens Berliner (of Berlin, no less!) - added only because the given name is (I think) unusual for a Berliner (not so for a Viking!).

There is a Lou Berliner Park (no, not a Korean!) in Columbus, Ohio; Lou's daughter checked in on 10 Apr 2004 and advised that her father was Louis Berliner, a sports writer for the Columbus Dispatch for 44 years, very well known and respected in the central Ohio area.  The park was named after him a year after his death in 1985 and happens to be the largest amateur softball park in the country, having 26 fields.

One very interesting lead is another Mike Berliner, of New Jersey, who was a big motorcycle distributor; I wanted to contact him further to see if he was one of the "Berliner brothers" who bought into Ducati in the '50s and gave it up ca. January 1968.   (28 Feb 08)

  (13 Dec 00 - Bob B., a biker, chimed in that Berliner Motor Imports in NJ was for
    many years the US distributor for Ducati and Moto Guzzi and that Sal DeFeo
    of Ghost Motorcycle (which gave up the Ghost a few years back) in Port
    Washington was one of their biggest customers and knew the family well.)

AHA!  It would appear (2008) that the Berliner brothers are now gone (there was a sister, Rose), and that they, Joe and Mike, operated as Berliner Motor Corp..  The firm, at least at one time, was located at Railroad Street and Plant Road in Hasbrouk Heights, New Jersey, and was also a dealer for AMC (Associated Motorcycles - AJS, Matchlesss, and Norton) and Zundapp bikes.  They seem to have dictated to Ducati what they wanted to have and they re-badged some others.  Here's a Berliner/Norton shipped by the Matchless Motorcycle factory in England in October 1966 to "Joe Berliner Motorcycles of New York", which somehow ended up in New Zealand (28 Feb 2008):

3.  Great Neck, Long Island Berliner (see top of Berliner page, about Long Island Berliners).

APOLOGY - I added a number of other Berliners 17 Jan 1998 and e-mailed some of them about links and then lost the listings; I will be happy to restore links to anyone who e-mails me back; otherwise, I'll recreate them as I have time.

There was a Berliner who was a mathematician in Development and Proof Services back in the early '50s at Aberdeen Proving Ground when I worked there; wonder what happened to him?
