- 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:
HL081 shows Goga (Georg) b. 19 Nov 1887 in Libava, Latvia.
HL045 Was a flyer in WWI, went to the US.

BIOGRAPHY:
1. 28 Jul 2007 Http://www.herzenberg.net/leo/htmlrh/Content.html copyrighted by Leo Herzenberg:
"An meinen Sohn (To my son) Leonhard Herzenberg von (from) Robert Herzenberg. Memoirs written during the 1940's." Translated during the 1990's by Leonardo (Leonhard) Herzenberg. The entire memoir is quite lengthy and included in its entirety in my notes with Joseph Herzenberg, the original known ancestor, in this database. The following is only the portion dealing with this part of the family:
"...LEO Herzenberg, the eldest son of uncle Abraham, lived in Petersburg as a bank director. his wife Matja was a very fashionable woman, and it was not a good marriage. They had a son, Goga, who was a flyer in the first world war, and then went to the states. I met Leo in Berlin after the war in a fancy hotel, and he also visited me in Hamburg. He was marred for a second time, but I did not meet his wife. [46] They had a very pretty daughter who was raised from birth like a princess. Leo had lived in Paris and Switzerland before the second world war, and supposedly things went badly for him at the end."
2. Ancestry.com's "New York Passenger Lists, 1820-1957" arriving on the ship "St. Paul" 28 May 1920 which departed from Cherbourg France: George Herzenberg, 21, male, single, bank clerk, reads and writes, Russian nationality, Israelite race, b. in Paris France, nearest relative in country of origin: Father Leonard Herzenberg, 7 Rue Anatolede la Forge in Paris, France, final destination: New York, NY. [Even though he says he was born in Paris France, the index says Petrograd, which would be the Soviet name for St. Petersburg.]
3. Ancestry.com's "US Marine Corps Muster Rolls, 1893-1940" has 50 or so listings for George as a private first class from 1922 to 1927 all around the country including Virginia, Connecticut, California, and some ships.
BIRTH:
1. Per Russian document of father's passport book (see his notes for details). Lists Georgii as born 9 Feb 1899. California Death Index lists 22 Feb 1899. Difference is most likely Julian versus Gregorian calendar which calculates 10 Feb 1899. Date used is the American version.
MARRIAGE:
1. Date and place are unsubstantiated guesses only by Kerry Petersen.

1. Ancestry.com's "California Death Index": George L. Herzenberg, ssn 552035026, b. 22 Feb 1899 in Russia, d. 24 Jan 1973 in Monterey Co., CA. Online Social Security Death Index adds place of death as Monterey, Monterey, California.
