Unless otherwise indicated, the information about Abraham Rothschild comes from the Synagogue Vöhl website. Abraham was born 19 November 1808 in Vöhl, the youngest of his parents’ children.

Mathilde Rothschild and Minna Minkel Mückel Rothschild
As with most of my posts so far, unless otherwise noted, the source for the information found here is the Synagogue Vöhl website, which has been an absolute wellspring of information, to be sure. HUGE shoutout to the Förderkreis Synagoge in Vöhl who have worked tirelessly for 21 years to provide this information, restore theContinue reading “Mathilde Rothschild and Minna Minkel Mückel Rothschild”
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. Turns out,Continue reading “Isaak Rothschild, 1799 – 1875”
Belchen Betti Rothschild Kaiser, 1798 – 1882

Ascher Rothschild and Blümchen Rothschild
Ascher Rothschild’s life took some surprising turns following the death of his wife, Sprinza. The first change involved the children, who ranged in age from 15 years old down to just a few days. While Siegmund (16) and possibly Isaac (13) were old enough to help with the family merchant business, the younger children neededContinue reading “Ascher Rothschild and Blümchen Rothschild”
Selig Salomo Rothschild, 1770 – 1840
Selig Salomo (or Salomon) Rothschild is the oldest son, and presumed oldest child, of Salomon Abraham Rothschild. I say “presumed” because we know Salomon Abraham Rothschild had at least 6 children, two of which were sons. All other known children are younger than Selig. Selig was born about 1770 in Vöhl. The information for SeligContinue reading “Selig Salomo Rothschild, 1770 – 1840”
Salomon Abraham Rothschild, 1747 – 1816
The first recorded Jews in Vöhl were Ascher Rothschild and Seligman Rothschild, listed as homeowners in 1705. 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”
