LAUB is German for foliage. A tree trimmer? Someone responsible for
providing the foliage for the community"s sukka?

LOHBEER is German for an evergreen shrub. I think it's the myrtle. Someone
who lived in a house marked by the sign of a myrtle. (Or who provided myrtle
leaves for Sukkot?

A confusion with the name LAUDER? (As in Estee, and her philanthropist son,
now designated as president of the council of Jewish presidents, probably of
Hungarian origin)

After the town LAUBERE or LOBERE in Latvia? And check your ShtettelSeeker for
other possible towns in other East European countries?

Hope this offers up some avenues for exploration--I suggest this multi-axial
apoporach in attempts to discover more via a name or a location

Also, you ask about the Farkas name in the Ukraine. The name is Hungarian; I
believe it means fox. The Hungarian/Ukrainian border around Munkatsch shifted
frequently
