  • Notes 
    • RESEARCH_NOTES:
      1. 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. He indicates references by codes, which pertain to the original source and file held in his database, which I have not seen. I have no key to the sources except HL is Leonardo Herzenberg, HG is Gail Herzenberg, PC is probably Piltene Cemetery records, LA is probably Latvian Archives, FA is probably Aleksandrs Feigmanis (Latvian researcher hired by Harold Hodes), and YL is Len Yodaiken (Israeli researcher hired by Harold Hodes); however, he lists the main researchers and their contributions in a lengthy report which I include in full in the notes of the earliest Herzenberg of this database. In regards to this individual:
      HG016 shows Sophie Herzenberg d. bef. WW2.

      2. I am uncertain if her maiden name is Herzenberg or not. All the sources cited use Herzenberg as a surname without clarifying whether it is both a maiden and married surname. I suspect it is only a married name. Len Yodaiken per his research paper "The Herzenbergs of Piltene and Liepeja Latvia," 1 Jan 2000, notes her name as Sophie ___.

      MARRIAGE:
      1. Date and place are unsubstantiated guesses only by Kerry Petersen.

      DEATH:
      1. Http://www4.yadvashem.org Holocaust database: Sofi Herzenberg was born abt 1881 in Latvia. She was married. During WWII she lived at Alleisti 12 in Libau, Latvia. Sofi perished 3 Oct 1941 in the Shoah at the age of 60. This information is based on a Page of Testimony submitted 12 Jul 1957 by a fellow citizen in Israel, Bentzion Kolman.
