Dear Mr. Calzareth,

I did some first steps in your research and have some results. I am working
on the Rafael, Wiener, Fried and Gratum families at first.
I hope that you understand that I am not able to research Jacobsens who
come from Germany.

Frieds

I have found the birth record of Katharina Fuerth who married Josef Gratum.
She was a daughter of Seligmann Fuerth ( see the birth record of Dawid
Gratum , son of Joseph Gratum and Katharina daughter of Seligmann Fuerth.

fol. 8/104
date and place of birth May ? 1808 , house no. 9
name of child Katharina Fuerth
father Seligman Fuerth
mother Lea

my comments true is that Katharina īs mother is here recorded as Lea and
according the Dawid s birth record
Katharian īs mother was Ludmila. However, this used to be very common that
one person was registerd under two or even more names .. Anyway our
questions will be answered during the research, let īs believe.

Siblings of Katharina . this is a problem which I hope will be explained
later.Below you will see the birth records of Seligman Fuerth īs children.
However - the mother is recorded as Franzel, Lea, Ludmila , Lisl. Lisete.
And also Lida but Lida is in Czech the same as Ludmila.
It might happen that Seligman had more wives (Franzel, Lea, Ludmila ,
Lisl, Lisete.). It might happen that he had two ( Franzel born Weil and the
one who was called Ludmila, Lea, Lisl, Lisete etc. born Robitschek ).. There
could be more Seligman Fuerths ( sometimes he is recorded to be from
Elhotka= Lhotka, sometimes from Wossetchan) ????. There was only one
Seligman Fuerth who moved several times.????.. There are many possibilities
which must be answered.
It s necessary to find for example the marriage records.

Gratums

I have found the birth record of Marie Gratum who married Moses Fried. I
also have her siblings.
Unfortunately sometimes the dates of births and number of houses are not
well readable - the register is not in a good codition ( for researchers
available as a microfilm ). Where I was not sure, I had to put down " ???"
