- 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:
Erna Matja, d. in St. Petersburg.
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 married 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."
