    • 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:
      HW shows Martin as living, b. Jo'burg, SA, spouse Vivian ___.
      General Practitioner - MD/GP Wits Univ. South Africa.
      Addresses: 12538 Riverside, Windsor, Ontario, Canada, N8N1A3.
      Bayview Ave., Toronto, ON M2K1E8, Canada.

      2. Len Yodaiken in his paid research report "The Herzenbergs of Piltene and Liepaja Latvia," 1 Jan 2000, has the following conflicting information from that of Peter Bruce Herzenberg. Len shows Patricia Leslie Herzenberg as the daughter of Leo (Arye Leib) Herzenberg and Bessy Horwitz. He then shows Martin Herzenberg, who married Vivian, as the son of Herman Herzenberg and Marjorie Yeend Mitchell. Both agree that Leo and Herman are brothers; however, Peter has the children switched as for parentage. Being that Patricia would be Peter's sister and Martin his first cousin, I discount Len's reported parentage and use Peter's. Also Len shows the wife of Martin as "Linda"; however, Peter reports it as Vivian, which I will also use for the same reason as above.
