NOTES    (NOTES ARCHIVE)

19 November 2011:
It now appears that Josef and Franziska Günstling were not the parents of my great-great-grandfather Mathias Günstling; but it also seems that Mathias and Samuel Günstling were indeed brothers. This does not negate the possibility that Josef is a relative - based on dates and locations, I still believe we are related. He could be an uncle of the brothers or connected some other way. Recently available census documents show that Mathias and Samuel lived at the same addresses in Libeň at roughly the same time, and both census documents show the same building owner, possibly a Leopold Günstling. Additionally, there is mention of Mathias's son Gustav on Samuel's census document. In my opinion these factors connect them conclusively as brothers. Unfortunately there is no mention of their respective parents in either record.

The same recently-discovered set of census records have also revealed a large number of Brod family connections through my great-great-grandmother Theresia Brodová, wife of Mathias Günstling. This includes her nephew Adolf and his wife Františka Rosenfeld, parents of Max Brod - the famous Czech Zionist, composer, writer, and closest friend of Franz Kafka. That makes Max my grandfather's second cousin and my second cousin twice removed.

Adler, Alfred [b. c.1855, Nusle (Prague) ? - d. ?]  
A son of Markus Adler and Johanna (née Brummelová). As with the other Adlers little is known, however Alfred did work with his brothers Leopold and Moritz in their atelier business in Braşov (German: Kronstadt), Romania.

Adler, Arthur [b. c.1878, Prague - d. 27.8.1889, Prague] 
Arthur was the oldest child of Karel and Marie (née Ženišeková) Adler. He died from acute kidney disease (Rierenentzündung) at age 11 the day after his sister Karoline and just a few days before their sister Zdeňka, both of whom passed away from the same condition. All were buried in the Jewish section of the newly-opened Olšany cemetery in Prague.

Adler, Karel [b. c.1854, Nusle (Prague) ? - d. 6.3.1918, Prague]
A son of Markus Adler and Johanna (née Brummelová). Karel married the former Marie Ženišek and together they had no fewer than 7 children. Notes: the 7 March obituary has his brother Moritz listed as "Max," which is curious but is consistent with at least one of Moritz's conscription documents and other obituaries in which he's mentioned. Karel's obituary also says that his son Rudolf is "im feld," meaning serving in the military.

I've roughly translated Karel's 7 March obituary. This is typical of the period but it's a lovely sentiment nonetheless:

"Prostrate in unspeakable pain, we give all the relatives, friends and acquaintances, the sad news that it has pleased the Almighty, our beloved husband, father, grandfather, brother, and uncle Karl Adler has been wrested from us. The same died suddenly in his prime, only dedicated to the welfare of his family life, at the age of 64 years. The funeral of the dear departed will be held on Friday...."

I don't have a very good translation for the following day's newspaper announcement from the "Kabenwaisenhaus" or Jewish boys' orphanage council, upon which Karel served. Basically it says he was the vice-chairman of the council and that he was totally devoted to serving the organization.

Three of Karel's young children - Arthur (age 11), Karoline (age 8), and Zdeňka (age 4) - all died within about a one-week period in late August-early September, 1889. According to the obituaries, they died from Rierenentzündung which I believe is what we now call glomerulonephritis, a type of kidney failure that afflicts children in that age bracket. For all three children to have acquired this painful disease raises the possibility that they might have shared some contaminated food or were poisoned by something in the environment. One can only imagine how shocking and heartbreaking that must have been for their parents and the whole family.

Adler, Leopold [b. 12.7.1848, Nusle (Prague) - d. 8.5.1924, Braşov, Romania]   
A son of Markus Adler and Johanna (née Brummelová). Leopold was a famous portrait and topographical photographer in Braşov and around Austria-Hungary, and worked with his two brothers, Moritz, a noted portrait photographer, and Alfred.  Evidently Leopold took over the Adler Brothers studio (founded in 1870-71 by his brother Moritz in Braşov) in 1875. It appears that he met and married Caroline Muschaleková also in Braşov.  She was the sister of Leopold's former partner and fellow photographer Carl Muschalek. There is currently no other substantiated information available on his life or their marriage or offspring. Some information provided by Leopold's descendent Olga Herdová of Slovakia.

Adler, Markus [b.1814, Nusle (Prague) - d. c.1858, Nusle ?]  
Markus was born to Moses and Anna (née Sommerová), one of an unknown number of children. Markus appears to have been a Prague native, and he owned a chemical business of some kind. He married the former Johanna Brummelová in Karlín in 1846. Note: It is possible that Markus and Johanna had two more children for a total of 10, but this is not confirmed.

Adler, Moritz [b. c.1849, Nusle (Prague) - d. 29.11.1920, Prague]      
A son of Markus and Johanna (née Brummelová) Adler.  Moritz was married first married to Emma Slonitzová, who passed away from acute tuberculosis at the young age of 23 on 15 July 1885, then to Marie Kassowitzová, the sister of my great-grandmother. Moritz and Marie had two daughters. Moritz was my grandfather's uncle.

Moritz was a well-known portait photographer, having originally set up a "fotoatelier" at Purzengasse 14 in Braşov, Romania c.1870-71. The studio operated as "Adler Brothers" c.1872-73, when brothers Leopold and Alfred presumably joined him in its operation. Leopold took over proprietorship of the studio c.1875, when Moritz left Braşov in search of work in other cities. On 31.3.1881 Moritz filed an application for a permit to operate a photographic business in Prague.  Approved on 20.4. 1881, he opened an atelier at Žitna 36 in Nové Město, Prague (see the advert printed in the Prager Tagblatt newspaper the following week). From the incomplete translation of the documentation I have, it seems like Moritz extended his license to a new studio located at Na příkopě 2 (which is on the edge of Wenceslaus Square and now contains a theater and the Mustek metro station), and then in 1890 at Charvátová 8, the latter the address of photographer Hassel with whom he shared studio space.  These were very prestigious locations for businesses in Prague at that time. Moritz had his own exhibits at the Jubilee Exhibition 1891 and the Czech and Slavonic Ethnographic Exhibition in 1895, both in Prague (See Pictures).  The Czech National Archives have documentation showing that Moritz was permitted to set up satellite offices in Benešov and Karlovy Vary, and at least one of his Prague conscription documents notes a residence in the latter. Those offices became successful and notable for their portaits, topographical photography, and heliotyping/collotyping.   Historical reference to Moritz's career and activities was published in Czech by Pavel Scheufler, a photography historian; I've translated some of that data and presented it here.

Redacted 29 Dec 2011:
Important notes: Moritz did not die in 1899 as Pavel Scheufler suggests. Moritz is listed in his wife's 1917 obituary which wouldn't be the case if he were deceased; he's also mentioned in a number of post-1899 (through at least 1918) obituaries of other family members, many or all of which are posted on this site. Second, I checked every page of the entire catalogue of 1899 Prager Tagblatt newspapers (> 9000 pages) and didn't find any obituaries for Moritz Adler - certainly at least some obituary would have been printed for a man of his notoriety. Neither do any of the police conscription documents reflect his passing. The 1902 conscription document has a supplementary note dated 1907 affixed to the page, and that doesn't saying anything about his death either. Suffice it to say Moritz definitely did not die in 1899.

Added 29 Dec 2011:
I have finally determined Moritz's date of death and resting place. Although I had been through the 1920 Prager Taglbatt newspapers more than once, I must have missed Moritz's small obituary. He passed away after a long illness on 29 November 1920, and is buried in the New Jewish Cemetery. He was survived by his wife and daughter Helena, and Helena's family. The obituary confirms that Helena was married to Bedřich Süs, which I had previously determined based on circumstantial information.

Additional notes: Moritz also used the first name "Max," as is evident from the police conscription records as well as various obituaries in which he's mentioned. It is unclear where his first wife (Emma Slonitzová) originated and no details are currently available on her family. There were only a few Slonitzes from Prague through the latter 18th and the entire 19th centuries, so it's probable they came from somewhere outside the city - the Czech town of Zlonice (Czech form of the the German name Slonitz) is a strong possibility. With its large German population and cultural influences, Brno is also a possibility.

Adlerova, Antonia [b. c.1843, Nusle (Prague) - d. 27.1.1911, Prague]     
A daughter of Markus and Johanna (née Brummelová) Adler. Antonia was the second wife of Adolf Kraus, with whom she had 3 children. My actual blood relatives are Antonia of course, and her descendents through her children Max, Artur, and Elsa. Curiously none of her stepchildren are mentioned in her obituary. No further information is currently available.

Notes: Adolf had his first four children (Franziska, Josef, Emilie, and Rudolf) with first wife Pauline née Linger. Based on the obvious math Pauline would have died between 1876 and 1880, although it's evident that her death was close to the beginning of that range because Adolf and Antonia were apparently married 15 January 1878 in Prague.

Adlerová, Elisabet [b. 5.9.1892 Nusle or Vinohrady (Prague) - d. 7.1.1900, Prague] 
Elisabet was the elder daughter of Moritz and Marie (née Kassowitzová) Adler, and was the cousin of my grandfather. Elisabet, called Elise in the family, passed away at a little over 7 years old. She is buried in the New Jewish Cemetery. The obituary reads:

"Prostrate with pain we give our relatives and friends the sad news of the passing of our beloved child Elise, which after severe suffering she fell gently asleep in the 8th year of life. The funeral will be held in the mortuary at the Jewish cemetery in Strašnice at 3 o'clock in the afternoon. Carriages for those in attendance will be ready near the Landes-Museum at Wenzelsplatz."

Redacted 29 Dec 2011:
The data concerning her fate are not yet substantiated and only reflect circumstantial coincidence. The Czech Holocaust archive has an Ela Mandlová - wife of Dr. Hugo Mandl - whose birthdate matches Elisabet's. Ela was a common truncation for Elisabet, so it is possible that this is the same person. Important note: The Czech Holocaust archive probably believes Ela perished at Rejowiec; Rejowiec was only a transit camp which passed prisoners onto Sobibor death camp or some other camp, where they were shot or sent to the gas chambers. It is therefore likely that she perished somewhere other than Rejowiec. Last residence: unknown, probably in Brno.

Adlerová, Franziska [b. c. 1845, Nusle (Prague), d. 14.9.1885, Prague]  
Franziska was a daughter of Markus and Johanna (née Brummelová) Adler. There is not much available information on her life, except for the basic metrics and what I've determined are probably the correct family connections. Based on circumstantial data, it appears Franziska married Simon Zuckermann of Hřešihlavy, a hamlet near Hořovice and Plzeň. As families frequently intermarried during this era, it could well be that Simon was the brother of Adolf Zuckermann, husband of Franziska's sister Theresia. Adolf Zuckermann was either born in or lived in the Mirovice area, which is only about 70km from Hřešihlavy. In any event, other data are more compelling - the four Adler brothers and their wives are listed in Simon's obituary (Leopold, "Max," Karl, and Alfred) and both of Franziska's sons were photographers, like their presumable uncles Leopold, Moritz, and Alfred. Franziska is buried in the Olšany cemetery with her husband. Once the census records become available we should be able to make a final ruling on these relationships.

Adlerová, Helena [b. 18.8.1894 Nusle or Vinohrady (Prague) - d. c.1942, Majdanek, Poland]   
Helena was the younger daughter of Moritz and Marie (née Kassowitzová) Adler, and was the cousin of my grandfather. She married Bedřich Süs and had two children. At this time I have no additional information on her life, only that concerning her victimization during the Holocaust. The ITS state they have no further information about Helena following her deportation from Terezín to Lublin on the Ay transport, however they did say "from an announcement of the former Czechoslovakian Red Cross in Prague of 25th May 1951...the transports "Ay," "Ap," and "AAh" has (sic) to be regarded as "Todestransport" (Transports of Death) because less than 10% of the deportees had returned after the war." Last residence: According to the Czech Holocaust archive it was Klimentská 26, Prague. From ITS:

Suesowa, Helena, born on 18.08.1894, was deported in 15th May 1942 by the "Geheime Staats-Polizei Prag" with transport "Au-1" to the Theresienstadt Ghetto, and was transferred on 17th May 1942 with transport "AY" to Lublin. Category: "Jüdin"

Adlerová, Karoline [b. c.1885, Prague - d. 26.8.1889, Prague]
Karoline was a daughter of Karel and Marie (née Ženišeková) Adler.

All were buried in the Jewish section of the newly-opened Olšany cemetery in Prague.

Adlerová, Leopoldine [b. 7.8.1888, Prague ? - d. c.1942, Malý Trostinec, Belarus]
Leopoldine was a daugher of Karel and Marie (née Ženišeková) Adler. She married Robert Wahle, but it is not clear whether they had any children. Leopoldine was killed in the Holocaust. No further information is available. Last residence: Vojtěšská 3, Prague.

A son of Markus and Sofie (née Grünhutová) Bauch. Surname changed to Bach, 5 May 1872. Josef was a merchant. Married Franžiska "Fanny" née Grünfeldová in 1855. Last residence in Vienna was Mariannengasse 20 IKG 1134, the location of the former Sanatorium Löw, where he passed away:

Bauch, Markus Gabriel [b. 1805, Prague - d. 28.11.1869, ?]
Markus would be my great-great-great-grandfather. Unforunately I have been unable to translate his occupation as listed on the police conscription document, and I have no other information on his life yet. He was married to Sofie (née Grünhutová) and they had 6 children.

Bauchová, Johanna [b. 1833, Prague - d. Prague?]  
My great-great-grandmother, and daughter of Markus and Sofie (née Grünhutová) Bauch.  Johanna married Moritz Kassowitz in 1853, and they had 7 children including my great-grandmother Otilia. The Prague police conscription document surveys show Moritz and Johanna lived in various parts of Prague from 1862 through 1900 - that would seem to negate Moritz & Johanna living in Vienna at all during that period, and certainly puts into question whether Johanna died in Vienna as my friend and relative Peter Rohel suggests.. Accordingly there is no Johanna Kassowitz listed in the Austrian cemetery database. It appears that Johanna passed away before her husband (he died in 1902 and is buried in Prague), as there is no mention of her in is obituary. No further information is currently available.

Brod, Hermann [b. c. 1820, Prague - d. 5.11.1897, Prague]  
Hermann was the second child of Isak and Sara (née Brandeisová) Brod and the brother of my great-great-grandmother. Right away we should note the inconsistencies in his recorded birthdate. His census record indicates he was born 7 July 1828, but his mother's census record says he was born 9 May 1820. Two police conscription documents indicate he was born in 1820, one indicates 1828, and his obituary suggests he was born in 1819. Based on the fact that his sister Sofie Wiener is mentioned in his obituary, that the addresses and other family information are consistent, and that one police conscription document refers to another (the one with the 1828 date refers to his mother's conscription record which shows him with an 1820 birthdate), I'm forced to conclude that these disparities are just mistakes. All of these documents are about the same person. His census record says he married Franziska Schlesinger of Prague, and together they had one child. There are many indecipherable notes scribbled next to his entry on his mother's census document. To make matters more interesting, one conscription record has his daughter listed as Barbora while his obituary, census records, and Holocaust records say her name is Bertha. Hermann was a tailor, like his brother. He is buried in the New Jewish Cemetery.

Children:
Brodová, Bertha

Brod, Josef Isak [b.2.4.1814, Prague - d. 24.4.1891, Prague]
Josef was the eldest son of Isak and Sara (née Brandeisová) Brod (my 3rd-great grandparents), the brother of my great-great-grandmother, and the grandfather of the famous literary and political figure Max Brod. The police conscription document has him simply listed as Josef but the census record clearly says Josef Isak. Josef was a master tailor. According to my interpretation of the census document, his first wife was Esther Pascheles, possible daughter of Gabriel and Lea. It appears they were married 23 April 1835 in Prague. From the conscription document it is clear Esther passed away, but the document doesn't say when; it is also unclear whether Josef and Esther produced any children. Josef's eldest child Isak was born in 1844 - that would leave a gap of some 9 years between their marriage and first-born child - so it's probable that all of the children were produced with Josef's second wife, Barbora Lowositz. It is not clear when they Barbora and Josef were married. Josef died in Prague and is buried in the New Jewish Cemetery. Notably, his obituary says he was a board member of several charitable organizations.

Notes: The census document indicates the owner of one of Josef Isak's residences was Josef Brod. Whether that refers to him or someone else is unclear.

Brodová, Sofie [b. c.1822, Prague - d. 23.6.1910, Prague]
A daughter of Isak and Sara (née Brandeisová) Brod, and the sister of my great-great-grandmother. She married Abraham Wiener and apparently they had no children. Like her brother Hermann, Sofie's date of birth is inconsistent across all of the available documentation. The census record says 1824, while the police conscription records say 1824 and 1828. The obituary indicates she was born in 1822. Evidently she survived her husband, who probably died before May of 1900; Sofie is buried in the New Jewish Cemetery. Unfortunately no further information about Sofie is currently available.

Brodová, Theresia [b. 1821, Prague - d. ?]
Theresia was my great-great-grandmother. She was the daughter of Isak and Sara (née Brandeisová) Brod - one of 4 children. Theresia was married to Mathias Günstling and the mother of 8 children, all but two of whom died as babies or youngsters. Notably Theresia was the great aunt of Max Brod, the famous Zionist, prolific writer, and widely noted and controversial friend of Franz Kafka. No further information about her is currently available.

Brummelová, Johanna [b. 1816/7, Prague ? - d. 29.9.1888, Nusle (Prague) ?]  
Daugher of Josef and Anna (née Zukermannová) Brummel and wife of Markus Adler. Her origin is not clear on the first of the two conscription documents, and doesn't exist on the second. Notably there is a Franžiska Brumel b.1818 from Libeň (very near Karlín and Nusle) listed in the Czech National Archives who could very well have been her sister.

Eisenstein, Otto [b. 14.9.1876, Votice, Bohemia - d. 7.10.1942, Łódź ghetto, Poland]
Otto was an industrial worker or fabricator. He married the former Matylda Herzová and had two children. Otto was imprisoned with his wife in the Łódź ghetto at Korbgaße 13, Flat #7. After having been issued eviction warrants (numbers IX/367 and IX/368) they applied to the Jüdenrat for exemption on 8 May 1942, but were denied; the decision from the Jüdenrat was that they were "over quota" apparently meaning that too many exemptions had been issued already. He perished in Łódź either on 6 or 7 December 1942, about a week before his wife. Last residence, Královská 126, Prague, with his wife and daughter. No further information is currently available.

Fischelová, Gerta [b. 25.3.1922, Prague - d. 17.8.1945, Malmö, Sweden]
The (only?) daughter of Otto and Alice (née Porgesová) Fischel. According to a Page of Testimony submitted by a relative to the Yad Vashem database, Gerta was single as well as a student at the time of her death. The Page also says she was deported to Terezín, transferred to Auschwitz, and then to Bergen-Belsen - apparently she survived the camps and died in Sweden of a disease she acquired at Auschwitz. I have been in contact with the relative who submitted the Page of Testimony, so more information may be forthcoming. Last residence, Španělská 8, Prague.

Gans, Vilém [b. 2.4.1921, Prague ? - d. c.1941, Łódź / Chelmno, Poland]
Elder son of Gabriela Günstlingová and (Unknown) Gans. Łódź Ghetto was an early destination for Jews from Czechoslovakia, and many of those who ended up there were deported to the death camp at Chelmno. There they were they were crammed into the back of "gas vans" in groups of about 35 and asphyxiated by truck exhaust that was piped into the chamber. The Chelmno camp didn't become operational until December, 1941. Last residence: U Milosrdných 12, Prague, with a number of his family members.

Grünhut, Markus [b. 1781, Prague - d. 7.12.1858, Prague]
Markus and his wife Anne (née Sternová) are my 4th-great-grandparents. Markus is the oldest confirmed relative I have on the entire family tree, on either side.  He married Anna in Smichov (Prague) in September 1804, and subsequently had 5 (confirmed) children. If you look at Peter Rohel's Grünhut page, you'll see that he has some currently unconfirmed additional information regarding this family.

Günstling, Arnošt [b. 31.7.1889, Libeň (Prague) - d. 15.9.1890, Libeň]
Arnošt was the first son and middle child of Siegfried and Otilia (née Kassowitzová) Günstling, and brother of my grandfather. Arnošt died in Prague as an infant.

Günstling, Friedrich [b.1861, Prague - d. 1.4.1861, Prague] 
The last male child of Samuel and Anna (née Kohnová) Günstling. Friedrich (Czech = Bedřich) died as an infant.

Günstling, Fritz [b. 7.8.1892, Prague - d. c.1942 Sobibór / Ossowa, Poland]
One of 9 children belonging to Karel and second wife Emma (née Kornblüthová) Günstling. There is a Bedřich Günstling listed in the Czech Holocaust Archive that is almost certainly the same person. Fritz and Friedrich are German variations of the Czech name Bedřich. Last residence: U Milosrdných 12, with a number of his family members.

Günstling, Josef [b. 1797, Old Libeň (Prague) - d. 1852]  
Until I discovered a cache of census documents in November of 2011, I had tenatively placed Josef and his wife Franziska (née Kühe) in the family tree as the parents of Samuel and Mathias Günstling. Based on information (or, importantly, the lack thereof) contained in these census records, it is clear they were not the parents of Samuel and Mathias. Still, I believe Josef and Franziska were close relatives. It is worth noting that the census record has him listed as "Josef Joachim Günstling." No further information is currently available.

Günstling, Karel Koppelman (1853) [b. 1853, Libeň (Prague) - d. 19.6.1907, Prague ?]     
Karel was the eldest son of Samuel (1819) and Anna (née Kohnová) Günstling. He married twice, first to Sofie Rosenfeldová who died in 1883 at age 25, and second to Emma Kornblüthová. Karel had 3 children with Sofite and 9 more children with Emma. After Karel's passing, Emma still kept on with her three stepchildren. Interestingly, Karel and Emma named their first child Sofie.

According to an advert placed in the 25 March 1888 Prager Tagblatt newspaper, Karel was a restaurateur. It seems likely that Karel took over proprietorshop of the Altstädter Café-Salon from his father (see the advert). The café is listed as being at "Egidigasse 452," which is now Jilská 452 in Prague 1. Karel's date of death is uncertain vis-à-vis the conscription documents; one has 19.6.1906 and the other has 19.6.1907, but the 1907 date is correct (please see the included obituaries). The main obituary has him listed as Karl K. Günstling. Note the printing error in the 21 June 1907 newspaper announcement which mistakenly also (!) says 1906. The 26 June obituary indicates he was a waiter (Kellner), died at 54 years of age at his home at no. 790, Prague I, which I believe is now Haštalská 790 in Josefov in Staré Město.

The restaurant advert says something like: "Old Town Café-Salon, under the personal direction of Carl Günstling. Separate kitchen only for the Easter coffee, ritual conducted by Mrs. Kathi Grimm. We encourage everyone to join us. -The Entrepreneur" Pretty cool. I don't know what the Hebrew bit says.

Günstling, Karel (1924) [b. 23.8.1924, Prague ? - d. 25.7.1942, Majdanek, Poland]
The only son of Alfred and Gizela Günstling. Karel was probably named after his grandfather. According to the Czech Holocaust Archive, Karel was the only one of his immediate family to be killed in Majdanek; the rest died at Sobibór or the Ossowa labor camp. Last residence, Dlouhá 33, Prague.

Günstling, Mathias [b. 1825, Old Libeň (Prague) - d. 5.6.1876, Prague?]
My great-great-grandfather. As is so often the case on my grandfather's side of the family, I have very little concrete information to offer. Mathias married the former Theresia Brodová and had 8 children. Interestingly it appears they had two sons called Gustav - the first born in 1853 appears to have died as an infant, and the second was born in 1858. Their eldest child Karel also died as an infant. All daughters - Julie, Johanna, Regina, and Lucia (name uncertain due to difficulty reading the census document) died as babies or young children. This would make Siegfried and the Gustav (1858) the only two children who survived childhood. From the available Prague census documents, it seems quite clear that Mathias and Samuel (1819) were brothers, and equally clear that their parents were not Josef and Franziska (nee Kühe) Günstling.

Redacted 18 November 2011:
Although Mathias is a confirmed ancestor in my family line, his immediately relatives (other than wife and children) are not. His parents may have been Josef and Franziska (née Kühe) Günstling, and his brother may have been Samuel.

Günstling, Otto [b. 31.1.1894, Vinohrady (Prague) - d. 7.8.1942, Majdanek, Poland]      

My grandfather. Husband of Kamila Klingerová, married 17.2.1932 in Staroměstská.  According to available documentation Otto was born in the Vinohrady district of Prague in 1894 (coincidentally just blocks away from where my father was born), although the ITS in Bad Arolsen, Germany believe he was born in 1893.  I recall my father mentioning that he was born in 1893 so this is something of a curiosity.  He was a bank officer by profession, and there has been some mention that he was part of the Czech anti-fascist (Nazi resistance) movement, which in addition to being Jewish led to his arrest, deportation, and death.   As with many of my other family members, his name is preserved in perpetuity on the sacred walls of the Pinkas Synagogue in Prague.

His parents were Siegfried (aka Vitězslav) Günstling and Otilia née Kassowitzová. Otto had a brother, Arnošt, who died as an infant, and an older sister Johanna who was presumably named for her grandmother Johanna Kassowitzová née Bauchová.

transport AAh-31 (10.06.1942 Praha -> Ujazdow)

The supposition that my grandfather's political activities led to his demise is supported by the manner in which he was deported: he was sent directly from Prague to the death camp rather than temporarily to the concentration camp at Terezín, which was much more the norm in 1942. Additionally, there were a significant number of political activists and prisoners, Jewish and otherwise, who were deported from Prague in early June, 1942; in particular, there were 1000 people on the AAh transport that held my grandfather and other family members. The only known survivor of the AAh transport was a man who jumped from the train during the deportation.

From The Holocaust Research Project:

     "Following the death of Reinhard Heydrich - on 9 June 1942 about 1,000 Jews left Prague in a single train which was numbered “AaH – Attentat aus Heydrich – for Poland. The official destination was Ujazdow in the Lublin district, but in all probability this transport was murdered in the death camp at Belzec."

Of course many of these Jews ended up in camps other than Belzec, such as Majdanek and Sobibór.

Notes: Deportation documents have Otto at Sladkovského 8, not Seumeho ulice 8, prior to his deporation. Ujazdow is in the Lublin district in Poland, very near the Majdanek forced-labor and death camp. My grandfather lasted only two months at Majdanek before he was summarily executed by shooting.

Children:
Günstling, Petr (1934)

Günstling, Samuel (1819) [b. 1819, Libeň (Prague) - d. 5.4.1880, Prague]
Likely brother of my great-great-grandfather Mathias. Samuel married the former Anna Kohnová and had at least 9 children. According to the sole conscription document and the census record Samuel was a "glasermeister" - a glazier - but his obituary indicates he was a restaurateur. Nothing negates the possibility that he was both. It appears that he may have operated the Altstädter Café-Salon in Old Town Prague (see Karel Günstling (1853) for more information). Samuel is buried in the Jewish section of the Olšany cemetery in Prague, which I have yet to visit.

Notes: The name translation on the conscription document for a daughter listed as "Betti" is not certain, but you'll note that there is no mention of a Betti or any other daughters in the obituary besides those who are listed below; Betti is also missing from the census record. Petr is missing from the obituary and the census record. There is a Philip listed in the census record with a birthdate of 2 March 1861 and a death date of 1 July 1861, but that matches what the conscription record says for Friedrich. The Regina on the conscription record corresponds with what appears to be Rebeka on the census record. By my math that gives us 8 children based on the census record and 9 children from the conscription record. If we consider all of the unexplained names, there is a total possible of 10 children. At this time there is no way to account for the discrepancies between the two sets of records.

Günstling, Siegfried [b. 30.4.1862, Libeň (Prague) - d. 1935, Prague]   
My great-grandfather, and son of Mathias and Theresia (née Brodová). He married the former Otilia Kassowitzová, and they had 3 children, only two of whom survived to adulthood (Arnošt died as an infant). Siegfried was a "reisender" or traveling salesman.  In 1886 they lived at what I think is now Vejvodova 941/4 in Staré Město, and by 1893 they had moved to Vinohrady at Na Smetance 502/12, the house where I believe my grandfather was born. By 1905, they had moved literally to the next block into a building on the corner of Mánesova and Italská; either address is appropriate depending on the entrance to the building - Italská 753/27 or Mánesova 753/15 (it's the same building but with two addresses). It's not clear whether they lived out their days here or if they moved elsewhere.

The document which contains my father's name change from Günstling to Fischer shows Vitězslav as an alternate name for Siegfried. When I was born my grandmother wrote the names of all four of my great-grandparents from my father's side in my birth book, and that says "Sigfrid" rather than Siegfried or Vitězslav. Curiously the ITS could not find any data on his fate. He passed away in 1935, and is buried in the New Jewish Cemetery at Section 25 / Row 6 / Grave 12, near my great-grandmother.

According to the Czech Holocaust Archives, Bertha was living with her daughter Alice at the time of her deportation. Bertha, Alice, and Alice's daughter Gerta all perished in the Shoah, but her son Paul survived. No further information is currently available. Last residence, Španělská 8, Prague.

It appears that Henriette was single at the time of her death in 1942. Curiously, she was deported some months after her brothers and sisters, but at the same time as her sister Martha. She perished in Auschwitz. I'm missing information on the identity of the person who was #209 on the Ca transport from Prague to Terezín (Ca-209) - this person would be registered between Henriette and her sister Martha, and may be another family member. Last residence: U Milosrdných 12, Prague, with a number of her family members.

Günstlingová, Johanna (1849) [b. c.1849, Libeň (Prague) ? - d. 12.1.1918, Prague] 
The eldest daughter and first child of Samuel and Anna (née Kohnová) Günstling. She married Samuel Kolberg (Kohn) (almost surely unrelated to her mother) and had 8 children. No additional information about Johanna is currently available.

Günstlingová, Johanna (1861) [b. 1861, Libeň (Prague) - d. 3.3.1861, Libeň]   
Johanna was born to Mathias and Theresia (née Brodová) Günstling and was the sister of my great-grandfather Siegfried. She died as an infant.

Günstlingová, Johanna (1888) [b. 22.1.1888, Prague - d. c. 1942, Unknown]  
Johanna was the only daughter of Siegfried and Otilia (née Kassowitzová) Günstling, and my grandfather's older sister. I have included a 25 October 1908 Prager Tagblatt birthday announcement / guest list (see link above) which mentions Johanna - single at that time. From the census documentation, we know Johanna married Otto Klauber of Prague (son of Herrmann and Johanna née Pitzkerová) in Vinohrady on 18 December 1910. The census record also shows the ceremony was in some way Jewish although it's not clear whether it was in a temple, outside of temple by a rabbi, or in a more "civil" service by the Jewish community or magistrate. Johanna and Otto had one daughter, Herta, who was born in Vinohrady. According to the census record they lived in Vienna in 1919. Note the conscription document lists her as Hanne and the Czech Holocaust Archive have her listed as Jana, both common permutations of the name Johanna. The whole family perished in the Shoah; as you can see in the Czech Holocaust archive record, their place of death is unknown ("neznámé místo" means "unknown place"). I have received some information from the ITS, but they couldn't shed any light on her fate. Last residence, Mánesova 30 or Barthouva 30, Prague. S

Günstlingová, Juditha [b. 1776, Old Libeň (Prague) - d. ?]
There are two conscription documents for Juditha Günstling in the archives. She's listed has having a birthdate of 1776, widowed, and 76 years old at the time of the first registration. The first document, created in 1850, describes her as blind, widowed, of small stature, and with gray hair, and says she spoke Austrian German. The same document says she lived in Karlín (then Karolinenthal), and was born in Old Libeň. The second conscription document doesn't say much, except that it's clear she was still alive on 26 January 1853 at the time of the survey. Neither document provides any detail about her offspring or marriage. She may have been Josef's mother, and so I have placed her in the family tree in that position. If she is indeed a direct ancestor of mine, she would be the oldest relative on either side of my family tree. Regardless of the actual link to me, based on the circumstantial data I'm certain she was a blood relative.

Günstlingová, Julie [b. 20.5.1859, Libeň (Prague) - d. ?]   
The middle child and daughter of Samuel and Anna (née Kohnová) Günstling. She married Johann Kobler and had 3 children. Both Ferdinand and Irma died as toddlers. No further information is currently available.

Children:
Kobler, Ferdinand (1881)
Koblerová, Karolina
Koblerová, Irma

Günstlingová, Martha [b. 2.12.1900, Libeň (Prague) - d. c.1942, Auschwitz, Poland]
The youngest child of Karel and Emma (née Kornblüthová) Günstling. Listed as Marta (Czech version of Martha) in the Czech Holocaust Archives. It appears that she was single at the time of her death in 1942. She perished at Auschwitz. Last residence, U Milosrdných 12, Prague, with a number of her family members.

Günstlingová, Regina [b. 22.4.1855, Holešovice (Prague) - d. 10.9.1942, Terezín, Bohemia]
Regina was a daughter of Samuel and Anna (née Kohnová) Günstling. At the time of her death at Terezín she was the widow of Josef Schubert. One daughter whose married name was Alžběta Löblová was also a Terezín prisoner. According to the Terezín death document Regina died of a brain hemorrhage and heart failure. Last residence, Dušní 16, Prague.

Added 15 February 2011:
Note: The two other Schuberts at Regina's last residence were Benno, her son, and his wife Olga née Segerová. It is probable that her daughter Paula passed away before 9 April 1907, the date of Josef's death.

Redacted 15 February 2011:
Note: there are two other Schuberts at the same residence who may have also been children of Regina and Josef. They were Benno and Olga, and both perished during the Shoah at Izbica.

Karel was the eldest son of Leopold and Regine (née Reitlerová) Heller. He was an engineer. Circumstantial evidence from the Czech Holocaust archive may shed a ray of light on Karel's life from shortly before his deporation onward. Karel may have been courting or engaged to Marketá Wienová. He was staying with Marketá and her father Bernard at the time of his deportation. She was deported to Terezin not long after him and they were later moved to Auschwitz on the same transport. As such they might have been married or somehow "officially" connected while in Terezin. Karel's father and Marketa's father were about the same age, so they were probably friends (hence the connection). Last residence, Zlatnická 4, Prague.

Leopold was the second son of David and Karoline (née Wolfnerová) Heller. Like his father and elder brother Josef, he was a tailor. He married the former Regine Reitlerová and they had three children. He was a widower by the time he was deported, and like his brother, Leopold perished in Terezín camp in 1943. His cause of death is listed as "marasmus senilis," a kind of progressive, multi-symtpom, old-age syndrome. Last residence, Na Poříčí 8, Prague.

Hellerová, Mathilde [b. 18.8.1860, Prague - d. ?]
The eldest child of David and Karoline (née Wolfnerová) Heller. Mathilde married and evidently divorced Sigmund Vogl, apparently without having any children. No further information is currently available.

Redacted 2 December 2011:
It isn't clear whether Mathilde married, but there are a couple of worthwhile notes to make: First, her personal police conscription record shows she lived at her parents' home at number 544, Prague I, in July of 1911. Second, the surname "Vogl" appears adjacent to hers on the same document. It's not clear what that means, but it could mean she was previously married. There are no Mathilde Vogls or variants listed in the archive.

Herzová, Matylda [b. 27.10.1876, Prague ? - d. 14.12.1942, Łódź ghetto, Poland]
Matylda was the daughter of Ferdinand and Therese (née Oplatková) Herz . She married Otto Eisenstein and had two children. Matylda was imprisoned with her husband in the Łódź ghetto at Korbgaße 13, Flat #7. After having been issued eviction warrants (numbers IX/367 and IX/368) they applied to the Jüdenrat for exemption on 8 May 1942, but were denied; the decision from the Jüdenrat was that they were "over quota" apparently meaning that too many exemptions had been issued already. She perished in Łódź on 12 December 1942, about a week after her husband. Last residence, Královská 126, Prague, with her husband and daughter. No further information is currently available.

Kassowitz, Ferdinand [b. c. 1862, Prague - d. 5.6.1896, Prague]    
A son of Moritz and Johanna (née Bauchová) Kassowitz, and brother of my great-grandmother. Married to the former Emma Lagusová, with whom he apparently had no children. He died in Prague at only 33 years of age.

Kassowitz, Jakob [b. 1788, Prague - d. 1840, Prague ?]  
Patriarch of my Kassowitz lineage and my 3rd great-grandfather. His domestic situation is somewhat ambiguous in that there appears to be two wives listed on his conscription document. The first listed is Karolina, and the second is Ewa, but there is only one birthdate (1793) shown. In trying to make a determination, it's important to consider that a separate conscription document appears to show Ewa (née Fuchsová), born 1773, to have been Moritz's mother. That would make her 15 years Jakob's senior and at least 52 years old at the time of Moritz's birth, so it's extremely unlikely that she was his biological mother.  Karolina was more likely his mother. On the other hand, Karolina would have been only 19 at the time of Simon's birth; that alone makes it unlikely that she was his mother. On the surface it may seem academic, but it will be important if I'm ever to trace my ancestry further back than the late-18th century. This is just another genealogical mystery on the list of things to resolve on an in-person visit to the Czech National Archives.

Kassowitz, Karel [b. 29.6.1861, Prague - d. ?] 
Karel was a son of Moritz and Johanna (née Bauchová).  According to the census record, he was a typesetter or printer. He married Hermina Taussigová on 3 May 1889 in Prague. Together they had 6 children - all daughters. Also from the census record it's clear that Karel lived in Vienna starting in April of 1898, and that all of his daughters were born there. Karel and family returned to Prague in August of 1903 and lived in Vinohrady. I don't have a date or place of death for Karel but he outlived his wife, who passed away in Prague in 1931. No further information is currently available.

Kassowitz, Moritz Jakob [b. 15.7.1826, Prague - d. 25.2.1902, Prague]   
My great-great-grandfather. A son of Jakob Kassowitz and wife. Moritz married Johanna Bauchová and had 7 children, including my great-grandmother. It appears that Moritz was a merchant or trader of some kind. Moritz is buried in the New Jewish Cemetery in Prague (Section 11 / Row 2 / Grave 3) along with his children Marie and Karel, and I believe another relative, Marie (née Ženišeková), wife of Karel Adler. No further information is currently available.

Kassowitz, Simon [b. 1812, Prague - d. 11.1.1890, Prague]
The eldest son of Jakob Kassowitz and wife. Married the former Rebeka Stallmacherová and had two children. Their daughter Mathilde probably died before 1884, the last date on her parents' conscription document. In fact, both of their children died before Simon and Rebeka. It is worth mentioning that he died just one day after his sister Katharina. Also like his sister, he's buried in the Old Jewish Cemetery in Josefov; the New Jewish Cemetery in Strašnice didn't open until 1891. No additional information is currently available.

Children:
Kassowitz, Theodor
Kassowitzová, Mathilde

Kassowitz, Theodor [b. c.1848, Prague - d. 11.8.1883, Vienna, Austria]  
The only son of Simon and Rebeka (née Stallmacherová) Kassowitz. JewishGen say that Theodor was an actor, with the stage name Theo Cassio. This matches the "Cassio" note in his conscription record. We know this is the correct Theodor because the first conscription document says "schauspieler" (actor) next to his name. The second police conscription document gives a lengthy note on Theodor's domestic status, but unfortunately it is pretty tough to read. From what I can determine, there is a mention of someone with surname Breyer in/near Budapest, and some indication of a son also named Theodor. The conscription document mentions a marriage to a Sidonia Reppich or Keppich, who may have next married a Breyer. If Theodor died in Vienna in 1883, she surely could have remarried a Breyer in 1885. In pursuing this lead, I found a listing for the marriage of Eduard Breyer and Sidonia Kassowitz (b. 1856) on 8 April 1885. The record indicates Eduard and Sidonia were both widowed prior to their marriage, and that Sidonia was born in Budapest to Armin and Amalia née Kohn (although the document doesn't mention the surname Reppich/Keppich). The record says they were registered for marriage in the town of Stomfa, a transliteration of Stomva, which is the Hungarian name for the Slovakian town Stupava, and that the marriage itself took place in Ungereiden, the German name for the city of Uhorská Ves, Slovakia. The LDS folks have a baptism record for a child - Kalman Lothar Breyer - born to Eduard Breyer and Sidonia Keppich in Budapest. There is also a baptism record for a Tivadar Bruno Kassowitz on the same date, which mentions Sidonia Keppich as the mother, and Tivadar Kassowitz as the father. Tivadar is of course Hungarian for Theodor. Seems like this is pretty conclusive information - we'll see what we get when the census records become available. Tivadar the younger was a cultural historian and published writer. He was born in 1882 in Mariánské Lázně, western Bohemia, and passed away in Budapest in 1914.

Theodor's burial record is in the Austrian cemetery database, but I've found no obituary for him:

Kassowitz Theodor, 35 Year(s)

Kassowitzová, Emilie [b. 1856, Prague - d. 11.1.1859, Prague]
The first child of Moritz and Johanna (née Bauchová). From the police conscription record it appears that she died as a 3-year old.

Kassowitzová, Katharina [b. c. 1816, Prague - d. 10.1.1890, Prague]
A daughter of Jakob Kassowitz and wife. Katharina married Karl Markus Hofmann c.1848 in Prague. Evidently they did not have any children. As is commonly the case, the birthdate in the census record does not jive with what's in the police conscription record. In this case the conscription documents say 1816, and the census record for Karl Hoffman says 1814. There is no age listed in her obituary, which notably also refers to her as the widow of a Philipp Hoffman. Katharina is buried in Prague, apparently in the Old Jewish Cemetery in Josefov (the New Jewish Cemetery did not open until 1891). Note the two spellings of the name: some documents say "Hoffman" and some say "Hofmann." Even the census record is different from the police conscription record. It's worth mentioning that Katharina's brother Simon passed away on the 11th, just one day after her. No further information is currently available.

Kassowitzová, Marie [b. 1865/6, Prague - d. 10.11.1917, Prague]    
Marie was a daughter of Moritz and Johanna (née Bauchová). Marie was married to Moritz Adler, the famous photographer. Whether she lived with him in Romania is unclear, but it would seem improbable because their first child wasn't born until c.1892, years after he had reestablished himself in Prague. Moritz is at least 15 years Marie's senior, leading me to believe that there was some arrangement involved with their marriage (that's purely speculative, but that sort of thing happened quite often in those days because of the relatively small Jewish population).

Kassowitzová, Marta [b. 21.1.1890, Prague - d. c.1942, Lublin, Poland ?]
The eldest daughter of Karel and Hermina (née Taussigová) Kassowitz. Marta married Leo Kluge and had at least one and possibly more children. She perished in the Shoah along with her husband and daughter Ilsa. Although it is not clear where they died, it is more than likely that they were killed at the Majdanek death camp. No further information is currently available. Last residence, ul. Filipa de Monte 19, Prague.

Kassowitzová, Otilia [b.1.6.1859, Prague - d. 14.2.1941, Prague, Bohemia]  
Otilia was a daughter of Moritz and Johanna (née Bauchová), the second oldest of 6 children. She was my great-grandmother. She married Siegfried Günstling and had 3 children. In 1886 they lived at what is now Vejvodova 941/4 in Staré Město, and by 1893 they had moved to Vinohrady at Na Smetance 502/12, the house where I believe my grandfather was born. By 1905, they had moved to the next block into a building on the corner of Mánesova and Italská; either address is appropriate depending on the entrance to the building - Italská 753/27 or Mánesova 753/15 (it's the same building but with two addresses). It's not clear whether they lived out their days here or if they moved elsewhere.

As of 23 June 2010, it appears Otilia died in Prague and as such was never deported to Terezín as had been reported by the ITS. During my trip to Prague in January 2011, I discovered her grave at the New Jewish Cemetery at Section 25 / Row 9 / Grave 31, where she is buried with two close Adler relatives, including, I believe, the first wife of Moritz Adler. Unfortunately no additional information is available at this time.

Redacted 23 June 2010:
She was deported to the Terezín ghetto in early 1941, and died there the same year.. 1941 is an unusually early deportation timeframe; it's likely that she wasn't in good health (due to advanced age) when she arrived at Terezín, as she passed away there in February. Curiously, the cemetery book or "hřbitov knihy" has her listed as Otylie. When I visited the concentration camp in July, 2008 I did not see a grave for her in the Terezín cemetery.

Otto was the son of Hermann and Johanna (née Pitzkerová) Klauber of Velhartice. Otto was born in Prague. He had two brothers, Ervin and Pavel, whose fates are not currently known. Otto was a businessman of some kind and married Johanna Günstlingová (1888), the sister of my grandfather Otto, in Vinohrady in 1910. The family appear to have lived in Vienna c. 1919, but they later returned to Prague. Otto, Johanna, and their daughter Herta were all killed in the Holocaust; as you can see from the Czech Holocaust archive record, their place of death is unknown ("neznámé místo" means "unknown place"). I have opened a tracing case with the ITS, so more information should be forthcoming. Last residence, Mánesova 30, Prague (this may not be correct).

Kobler, Johann [b. 1852, Smichov (Prague) - d. ?]  
Son of Simon and Karolina (née Pollaková) Kobler and husband of Julie Günstlingová. Together they had 3 children. Johann was a merchant. He and Julie lived at the Günstling house/building at number 63 in Prague-Libeň (Prague 5 in those days) through the 1880s. The two youngest children (Ferdinand and Irma) died as toddlers, leaving only their eldest daughter Karolina. It's not clear whether they had any more children.

Children:
Kobler, Ferdinand (1881)
Koblerová, Irma
Koblerová, Karolina

Kobler, Karel [b.1848, Smichov (Prague) - d. ?]  
The eldest son of Simon and Karolina (née Pollaková) Kobler. Married to the former Julia Wintersteinová. No further information is currently available.

Kobler, Simon [b.1819, Domousnice, Bohemia ? - d. 1861, Prague ?]
Patriarch of the Kobler branch of this tree and related to me by marriage through his son Johann, husband of Julie Günstlingová. Married to the former Karolina Pollaková. His occupation isn't clear from the conscription document, but it might be "Buchbinder" or bookbinder/publisher. He appears to have originated in Domousnice, a village outside of Mlada Boleslav. There are at least two other Koblers from Domousnice listed in the Czech Police Conscription Archive who may be his siblings. No further information is currently available.

Koblerová, Rudolfina [b. 1858, Smichov (Prague) - d. Prague ?]
Daughter of Simon and Karolina (née Pollaková) Kobler. Married Eduard Fischer and had four children. It isn't clear whether Eduard Fischer was Catholic or Jewish as there is a fairly even split in the Czech National Archives between Fischers of both religions. Curiously, their children were born all over the place: Josef and Anna in Planá, Karolina in Kladno, and Arnold in what appears to be Zwickau - in Saxony on the German side of the Czech-German border. Their daughter Karolina was probably named for Rudolfina's mother who died in 1875.

Children:
Fischer, Arnold
Fischer, Josef
Fischerová, Anna
Fischerová, Karolina

Kohnová, Anna [b. 20.3.1822, Kostelec u Křížků, Bohemia - d. 9.12.1902, Prague]
Anna was born in the village of Kostelec u Křížků, which lies south of Prague and outside of Kamenice. She was the wife of Samuel Günstling (1819). Anna's obituary was placed by her eldest daughter Johanna on behalf of the entire family. Note the birthdate on the conscription document does not correspond with the birthdate on the census record or the obituary (1820, 1822, and 1818 respectively). Please see the notes about their children contained in Samuel's summary. No further information is currently available.

Kolberg (Kohn), Samuel [b. 1838, Neustupov-Votice, Bohemia - d. 7.4.1900, Prague]
Samuel was the husband of Johanna Günstling (1849). He was originally from Neustupov - a village outside of Votice, roughly half-way between Prague and its southeastern neighbor Tábor. The designation "Kolberg" on the conscription document indicates a change in surname, not a place of origin. Johanna's obituary notice shows this to be the case, and on second look it's pretty obvious in the conscription document as well. The change from Kohn to Kolberg appears to have taken place in 1892. Note that it appears that his son Arnošt may have been born after 1877 and passed away before Samuel's death. No additional information is currently available.

The Czech Archives have translated the names incorrectly on his parents' conscription document. They have them listed thus:

Kohn Markus (1775)
Kohn (Bondy) Leo (1798)
Kohn Moses (1826)
Kohn (Baumgarten) Rosalia (1829)
Kohn Samuel (1838)

A closer examination of the document reveals that it doesn't say "Leo geboren Bondy", but "Elisabet geboren Bondy" with the diminutive "Lea" next to her name. The label "gattin" is also adjacent to that name, which is German for "wife." Geboren is German for "born," or for "maiden name" as it is intended in this context. The remaining people are probably the children of Markus and Elisabet/Lea. It was not customary to include the married names or spouses of children on the parents' conscription documents, but it did happen occasionally as it did here. Further translation is needed to sort out all the details of this particular document, but these two details seem to be correct: Samuel's sister Rosalia appeared be married to a Heinrich Baumgarten. Samuel's brother Moses appears to have moved to Hungary by 1867.

Kolbergová (Kohnová), Hedwig [b. 21.9.1875, Prague - d. c.1942, Treblinka, Poland]
Hedwig was the youngest daughter of Samuel and Johanna (née Günstlingová) Kohn. She married Josef Felber and they resided in Vienna. It is not clear if they had any children. Both Hedwig and Josef were killed in the Holocaust. No further information is currently available. Last residence, Wien 2, Weintraubengasse 19/17.

Kolbergová (Kohnová), Selma [b. c. 1874, Prague - d. ?]  
Selma was a daughter of Samuel and Johanna (née Günstlingová) Kohn. She married Karl Oplatka (not the Karel Oplatka listed in the Klinger family tree) and had at least one child. Notes: the birthdate on the second conscription document is incorrect. Georg is the Germanized form of the Czech name Jiři.

Children:
Oplatka, Georg

Kornblüthová, Emma [b. c. 1860, ? - d. 27.5.1931, Prague]
Emma was the second wife of Karel Günstling (1853). Karel and his first wife Sofie were married in 1879 and had three children. Sofie passed away in 1883, and Karel and Emma subsequently married on 20 February 1886 in Prague. Together they had 9 more children, bringing the total number of children in the family to 12. Her rather modest obituary mentions other attached families, probably those belonging to her children - Richter, Gans, Altschul, and Meller. We know that her daughter Gabriela married a Gans, but I have no information on the remaining families on that list. There is a Marie Meller listed in the Czech Holocaust Archives which is probably her daughter Marie (the birth year matches, and the last known address is the same as her immediate Günstling relatives, so I've included her here). Emma is buried in the New Jewish Cemetery. Note the incorrect birthdate on the conscription documents. No further information is currently available.

Günstling, Max
Günstling, Alfred

Günstlingová, Henriette
Günstlingová, Marie
Günstlingová, Martha

Kühová, Franziska [b. c.1804, Prague ? - d. 11.2.1881, Prague]  
I had tentatively placed Franziska in my family tree as my 3rd-great grandmother and mother of Samuel and Mathias Günstling, but as of November 2011 it seems clear she probably wasn't their mother. Franziska was at one time married to Josef Günstling, but widowed at the time of her death. She passed away at the Josefstädter Spitale (presumably a Jewish hospital in Josefov) of degenerative heart failure. Based on the census documentation, it appears Josef and Franziska had no children. No further information is currently available.

Lagus, Albert [b. 1859, Old Libeň (Prague) - d. New York, NY, USA ?]  
Albert was the son of Sigmund and Sali (née Schulzová) Lagus. According to his mother's funeral announcement, he and his wife lived in New York. Further study has revealed that Albert and his wife Margarethe (known as Grete) née Senger were married in Manhattan on 1 August 1904, and that they had at least one daughter, Alice, who was born in New York in 1906. Margarethe's family were from Szczecin (Stettin) in what is now Poland, and were probably Slovak. All told there are three sets of Ellis Island transit records with Albert's name on them for arrivals in New York in 1910, 1911, and 1913, but only the 1910 and 1913 trips are 100% identifiable as his. Links to copies of the actual Ellis Island ship manifests included below.

1910: Albert, Grete, and Alice departed Hamburg on the ship "Patricia" on 26 October 1910, and arrived back in New York on 7 November 1910. The same documents show that Albert and his family lived at 3280 Hull Avenue in The Bronx, and the first page clearly mentions Albert's father. The entries for Albert & family start on line 11 on both pages.

1913: Albert departed Bremen on the ship "Kronprinzessen Cecilie" on 18 February 1913, and arrived in New York on 25 February 1913. See the entry for Albert on line 19 on both pages. The first page clearly mentions Albert's father and an unclear change of residence from the 1910 document, and the second page mentions his wife Grete.

Marriage information provided by the LDS folks, and other information retrieved from the Ellis Island database.

Lagus, Sigmund [b. 1840, Old Libeň (Prague) - d. ?]  
Husband of Sali (née Schulzová). From the conscription documents it appears that he was a tradesman (handelsmann). At this time there is no additional information available.

Children:
Lagusová, Anna
Lagus, Albert
Lagusová, Emma
Lagus, Gustav
Lagus, Josef

Lagusová, Emma [b. 1868, Old Libeň (Prague) - d. ?]   
A Daughter of Sigmund and Sali (née Schulzová; Šulcová in Czech) Lagus, and wife of Ferdinand Kassowitz. Curiously, all three conscription documents for Emma differ with respect to her year of birth. It is most likely 1864 or 1868, and not 1854 as shown in the third document. Apparently Ferdinand and Emma had no children, as he died at the young age of 33.

Pollaková, Karolina [b. c.1823, Smichov (Prague) ? - d. 28.2.1875, Prague]
Karolina apparently originated in Smichov but her lineage is unknown at this time. She married Simon Kobler and together they had at least 8 children. She passed away in Prague but her disposition is unknown, although it's probable she is buried in the Smichov Jewish cemetery. No additional information is currently available.

Children:
Kobler, Ferdinand (1854)
Kobler, Johann
Kobler, Julius
Kobler, Hugo
Kobler, Karel

Koblerová, Maria

Porges, Zikmund [b.11.9.1857, Zeleneč (near Brandýs) - d. 6.6.1932, Prague]   
It is not clear who his parents were, but Zikmund had several siblings. He married the former Bertha Günstlingová, and together they had two children. Both of the conscription documents shows Zikmund's occupation as "geschaftsmann-agent." There are some remaining uncertainties about some of his relatives: his granddaughter is listed as Gerta Winterová on the family gravestone, but she is listed in the Czech Holocaust Archive with her maiden name Fischel (there are two Winters at her last-known address - Kurt and Rudolf - either of whom she could have been attached to). There is no Hannerl Fischel listed in any of my usual sources of information & neither is there a Hans-Erik Porges. The tombstone lists those who were lost in the Shoah, and also his son, his son's wife Zděnka, and their son Hanuš (presumably the aforementioned Hans-Erik) - but still no granddaughter Hannerl. Zikmund is buried at Section 22, Row 2, Grave 20 in the New Jewish Cemetery in Prague. No further information is currently available. Thanks to Antoine Porges for providing the larger-format gravestone picture. More information forthcoming once these details are reconciled.

Here are the folks listed on his tombstone and his relationship to each:

Pavel Porges - son
Berta Porgesová - wife - lost in the Shoah
Alice Fischelová (m. Otto Fischel) - daughter - lost in the Shoah
Gerta Winterová - granddaughter - lost in the Shoah
Růžena Meislová (m. Karel Meisl) - sister - lost in the Shoah
Julie Porgesová - sister - lost in the Shoah
Lola Meislová - niece - lost in the Shoah
Zděnka Porgesová - daughter-in-law
Hanuš Porges - grandson

Redacted 11 September 2011:
His obituary indicates three children, but this is likely not the case for two reasons. First there is no Zdeňka on either of the police conscription documents (maintained through 1907 in this case), and second the birthdate as etched into the Porges gravestone shows her to be the same age as her supposed brother Paul, just 8 months apart. My guess is that Zdenka was actually Paul's wife and that this was just a misprint or some other kind of error.

Children:
Porges, Paul
Porgesová, Alice

Porgesová, Alice [b.29.7.1891, Prague ? - d. c.1943, Auschwitz, Poland]
The only daughter of Zikmund and Bertha (née Günstlingová) Porges. Alice was married to Otto Fischel, who passed away in 1929. Alice was lost in the Holocaust. No further information is currently available. Last residence, Španělská 8, Prague, with her mother and daughter.

Reitlerová, Regine [b. 1.5.1866, Beroun - d. 9.3.1934, Prague]      
Regine was the oldest of no fewer than 13 children belonging to Abraham and Karoline (née Pollak) Reitler. She married Leopold Heller on 1 June 1890 in Prague and they had three children. Her obituary says she died suddenly. Regine is buried in the New Jewish Cemetery. No further information is currently available.

Children:

Heller, Otto
Hellerová, Martha

Rosenfeldová, Sofie [c. 1857, Prague ? - d. 3.12.1883, Prague]
The first wife of Karel Günstling (1853). Karel and Sofie had 3 children together (the last of whom died as an infant) before she passed away at age 25 at their home at number 63 in the old Prague V- what is now Pernerova 63, Prague 8 I believe. The small obituary in the 8 December 1883 Prager Tagblatt newspaper says she was a "host's wife" and that she died from puerperal fever. Puerperal fever can be a result of genital tract sepsis acquired by women during childbirth, but there are other possible causes as well.

Schubert, Benno [b. 12.6.1880, ? - d. c.1942, Izbica, Poland ?]
A son of Josef and Regina (née Günstlingová) Schubert. Benno married Olga Segerová. They both perished in the Holocaust. No further information is currently available. Izbica was a ghetto and transfer camp whose prisoners typically perished in the Bełżec or Sobibór death camps. Last residence, Dušní 16, Prague, with his wife and mother.

Süs, Bedřich [b. 20.1.1889, ? - d. 8.7.1942, Majdanek, Poland]
Bedřich (aka Fritz) was the husband of the former Helena Adlerová, my grandfather's cousin. Together they had two children. The whole family perished in the Shoah. I currently have no additional information on Bedřich except for that concerning deportation and death. Note also the variety of spellings of the surname. Last residence, Klimentská 26 according to the Czech Holocaust Archive. From the ITS:

Suehs, Bedřich, born 26.1.1889 [note: the birthdate is 20.1.1889 - this appears to be a typographical error], was deported on 15th May 1942 by the "Geheime Staats-Polizei Prag" with transport "Au-1" to the Theresienstadt Ghetto, and was transferred on 17th May 1942 with transport "AY" to the Concentration Camp Lublin-Majdanek, prisoner's number 9169, passed away there on 8th July 1942 and was cremated at a not mentioned point in time in the crematorium of the Concentration Camp Lublin-Majdanek.

Kurt was the son of Bedřich and Helena (née Adlerová) Süs. No information concerning Kurt's life is currently available. Last residence, uncertain. The following information was provided by the ITS:

Suehs, Kurt, born 26.11.1918, nationality: Czech, was deported on 15th May 1942 by the "Geheime Staats-Polizei Prag" with transport "Au-1" to the Theresienstadt Ghetto, and was transferred on 17th May 1942 with transport "AY" to the Concentration Camp Lublin-Majdanek, prisoner's number 9158, passed away there on 26th July 1942 and was cremated at a not mentioned point in time in the crematorium of the Concentration Camp Lublin-Majdanek.

Süsová, Liselotta [b. 13.5.1922, ? - d. c. 1942, Majdanek, Poland]
Liselotta was the daughter of Bedřich and Helena (née Adlerová) Süs. No information concerning her life is currently available, however the ITS provided this information about her fate:

Suehsova, Liselotta, born 13.05.1922, was transferred on 10th June 1942 by the "Geheime Staats-Polizei Prag" with transport "AAh" to the Theresienstadt Ghetto. Category: "Jüdin"

We know the ITS information to be mistaken because transport AAh, the so-called Heydrich transport, went directly to Ujazdow (Lublin) in Poland. My grandfather Otto was on the same transport and he was killed in Majdanek. We can thus surmise Liselotta also died in Majdanek. Last residence, uncertain.

Taussigová, Hermina [b. 18.11.1865, Prague - d. 23.8.1931, Prague]  
Hermine was the daughter of Heřman Selig and Regine (née uncertain, possibly Douveles) Taussig. She married Karel Kassowitz in Prague on 3 May 1889 although they (or at least Karel) lived in Vienna at that time. I haven't found any other Hermina Taussigovás (or name variants) in the NAČR police conscription database, nor have I located any information on her parents, so it's likely that her family weren't from Prague. Hermina died from a heart attack in 1931 and is buried in the New Jewish Cemetery in Prague. No further information is currently available.

Wolfnerová, Karoline [b. 15.9.1829, Breslau (Wrocław), Poland - d. 14.10.1904, Prague]
Daughter of Isak and Karla Wolfner and wife of David Heller. There are several noteworthy items in the available data. First, the sole police conscription document in the Czech National Archives have her listed as "Rachel Volfner." The obituary clearly states Karoline as her first name. Adding fuel to the confusion fire are the census records for her children, some of which have her listed as Rachel, and some as Rachel Kohn. The census document for her and David have her listed as "Rachel (Karoline) Wolfner." Her birthplace appears to be written as "Breschelaw," which is the Germanized name of the city of Wrocław (formerly known as Breslau) in Poland. Wrocław changed hands between the Poles, Prussians, Germans, and Bohemians through the years, but I think it belonged to Prussia in 1829. The conscription record says David and Karoline were married in Wrocław, but the census record says they were married in Řešihlavech (a locale I cannot find on any map, but which does exist in some very old documentation) near Hořovice, Bohemia. At least the two documents agree they were married in 1859. No further information is currently available.

Zuckermannová, Clotilde [b. 2.12.1868, Prague - d. c.1942, Treblinka, Poland]
A daughter of Adolf and Theresia (née Adlerová) Zuckermann. Clotilde, or Klotylda as she is listed in the Czech Holocaust archives, married Oscar Barbagg and had at least one child. It appears that her husband passed away before the war. Barbagg is not a Czech name - my very limited research shows it to be Galician (an area now split between Ukraine and Poland). Clotilde perished in the Shoah. Last residence Slezská 42, Prague.

She perished in the Holocaust, and was most likely "selected" for the Auschwitz gas chamber because of her advanced age. Note the grossly incorrect birthdate (listed as 1859) on one of the two Heller conscription documents. Last residence, Waldhauserova 6, with her son. The address no longer exists.
