Ruben Rothschild, 1805 – 1895

Unless otherwise noted, the basis for the information shared here is the Synagogue Vöhl website. Ruben Rothschild was born in March of 1805, and was the son of Selig Salomo Rothschild and Ranchen Regine Rubino Rothschild, and the grandson of Salomon Abraham Rothschild. As I’ve researched the Rothschilds of Vöhl, there are certain members ofContinue reading “Ruben Rothschild, 1805 – 1895”

Isaak Rothschild, 1799 – 1875

As promised, this is the first post about “What’s in a Name?” When I first started building up my family tree, and using the Synagogue Vöhl website as the primary source, I started seeing some things regarding this Isaak Rothschild, and his cousin, Isaac Rothschild born in 1820, that just didn’t add up.

To be registered home and land owners, these men needed to have been born by about 1680 at the latest. As yet, I haven’t found the connection to these early Rothschilds, though I’m sure there is one. IContinue reading “Salomon Abraham Rothschild, 1747 – 1816”
