• Notes

  RESEARCH_NOTES: 1. Note Peter Herzenberg showed Hirsch Israel as a son of Chone Joseph Herzenberg. This is very unlikely considering we Chone was b. 1794 and Hirsch was born 1805 based on Register Lists. Also Hirsch shows associated with Elias Joseph in the 1848 Register. 2. The Latvian Archives is online and I have reviewed all Registers for Pilten. Registers are in German and I indicate what I don't understand. I extracted all Herzenbergs of which the following excerpts apply to this family: "<http://www.lvva-raduraksti.lv/en/menu/lv/13/ig/13/ie/5507/book/30316.html> -Image 102. Has two columns of ages after the name with the first being 1834 and the second 1848; presumably if missing in the second column then probably deceased in the interim. List # 286, Family #160: -325 Elias Joseph Herzenberg. 60, - [Comment needing translation but appears to be death in 1842.] -326 his son Jossel, 17, 31 -413 [Marinauter?] Hirsch Israel, 29, - [Comment needing translation but appears to be death in 1843.]" 2. Website of Peter Bruce Herzenberg of London, England (since relocated to South Africa). Website is no longer functioning as of 7 Aug 2007. Copies of much of his data from the website in my possession. Sources are LA for Latvian Archives and YL is Len Yodaiken (Israeli researcher hired by Harold Hodes). In regards to this individual: Name variations: Hirsh Israel LA013 shows b. 1803/5 and d. 1843. YL Peter also notes: Hirsh Israel - This is the first time the name Hirsh appears. The annexation of the name Israel points to the mother. At this time Rabbi Mendel Israelsohn took over as Rabbi in Libau. Subsequently, we find the name Mendel repeated in this branch, suggesting the Rabbi's daughter may have married Chone H. [KP: Chone is not the mother but note may apply to correct mother Chiene ___.) There may have been a previous Hirsh or this may be an abbreviation of Herzenberg as pointed out by previous researcher (Herzenberg = Hirsh enberg). SOURCES_MISC: 1.
