Dear Alex,

your delay in response doesn īt mind, of course. There is no hurry with the research as we talked about at the beginning.

You ask about the Gratums ....
It was like this ( according to Book of familiants for Praskoles - HBF 8 )
Dawid Gratum and Caecilia Gratum born Taussig had at least two sons
1 ) Aron who married Rachel Zenter ( marriage konsens in 1790 for Praskoles )
2 ) Wolf who married Esther Raubitschek ( marriage in konsens 1789 for Praskoles )

There is also noticed Abraham ( on fol. 71 ) , with father Dawid Gratum. His mother was not noticed in HBF. Abraham married Theresia Raubiczek ( konsens 1799 for tanner proffession ) .
There are two possibilities
a) Abraham is younger brother of Aron and Wolf, and his mother is also Caecilia born Taussig.
b ) Abraham īs father is Dawid . Dawid married once more when Caecilia died
( however, this we don īt know yet !) . This would mean that we don īt know Abraham īs mother.

In HBF 8 it is exactly like this


Fol. 43, Praskoles

Familiant īs name Wolf gratum

His parents Dawid Gratum and Caecilia born Tausig

His wife Esther born Raubitschek

The familiant received marriage allowance ( konsens ) 1789 for Praskoles

Wolf died 3.1.1841

Wolf īs son Heinrich was born 1798

Familiant īs name Aron Gratum

His parents Dawid Gratum and caecilia born taussig

His wife Rachel Zenter

Konsens 1790 for Praskoles

His son Joseph born 1799

Noticed Joseph Gratum received marriage allowance in 1844 and moved to hungary

Fol. 71

Familiant īs name Abraham Gratum

His parents Dawid Gratum ( mother is not noticed but Dawid īs wife may be caecilia born taussig see parents of Aron and Wolf Gratum )

His wife Theresia born Raubiczek

Konsens 29.July 1799 no. 24924 ( for tanner proffesion )

Noticed Abraham died 4.12.1846

Sons Joseph born 1801

Heinrich born 1803

Michael born 1806

The familiant position ( of abraham ) was according to gubernial dekret dated 30.June 1830 no. 23874

transfered from Wossow to Praskoles

After Abraham Gratum the familiant position received his first son

Joseph gratum

His wife was Katharina born Fuerth

Konsens 6. August 1832 no. 31665
I also exhausted Jewish Census from Beraun region from 1799 ( HBS, kart. 25 )


HBS kart. 25 , 1799, Beraun / Beroun ) and Rakonitz ( Rakovnik ) regions

Included is also

Amschelberg ( Kosova Hora ) there is no name we are looking for mentioned



Praskoles ( Praskolesy )

Col. 1 name of dominium Praskoles

Col. 2 first name and surname of the Jewish familiant Aron Gratum

Col.3 the familiant was married in Praskoles

Col. 4 the familiant received the marriage consens for Praskoles, year not noticed





Prtschitz and Uhrschitz ( Pr ice a UhYice ) there is no name we are looking for mentioned

Smilkau ( Smilkov ) there is no name we are looking for mentioned



Wosetschan ( Ose any ) there is no name we are looking for mentioned

Wossow

Col. 1 name of dominium Wossow

Col. 2 first name and surname of the Jewish familiant Dawid Gratum

Col.3 the familiant was married in Praskoles , Beraun region

Col. 4 the familiant received the marriage consens Wossow, in 1773

Conclusion The presumption that Abraham īs mother ( Joseph īs grandmother )

was Caecilia born Taussig should be proved somehow. Joseph born 1801 and Katharina born Fuerth were parents of Marie Gratum.
