He was born in Vöhl, like the rest of his siblings, on 6 December 1822. We know very little of his childhood, only that his mother Sprinza passed awayContinue reading “Dr. Selig “Sali” Rothschild, 6 December 1822 – 6 November 1875″

AContinue reading “Isaac Rothschild, 23 June 1820 – 26 December 1897”

Siegmund Salomon Rothschild, 17 July 1818 – 7 September 1877

Up until a couple years ago, I believed Siegmund and his wife had one son, and that was it. Then, out of the blue, I was contacted by a new-to-me cousin, Andy Selig, who let me know not only did Siegmund also have a daughter, but provided me with family photos, and information on 5Continue reading “Siegmund Salomon Rothschild, 17 July 1818 – 7 September 1877”

Solke Stern Rosenmeyer, 1803 – ?

First of all, I’d like to apologize for the long silence. Despite being toned-down, the holiday season was crazy, hectic, and stressful. Mom had pneumonia, recovered, then both parents had COVID. We saw them a few days before they were symptomatic, so we were on quarantine for awhile. Jim and I had food poisoning NewContinue reading “Solke Stern Rosenmeyer, 1803 – ?”
