Abstract
Only two ways to construct non-liftable Calabi-Yau threefolds are currently known, one example by Hirokado and one method of Schröer. This article computes some cohomological invariants of these examples of non-liftable Calabi-Yau threefolds, in particular it computes their mini-versal deformations. One conclusion is that their mixed characteristic mini-versal deformation spaces are actually smooth over the characteristic

base field. Furthermore, a new family, constructed in the spirit of Schröer, is introduced and the same calculations are performed for it.
