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.
