- 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 Theresa (teresa) b. 3 Dec 1913 in So. Africa, d. in California, md. Kichler.

"Rudolf and Cecelia were married in 1912 in Johannesburg. I have a wedding picture, or I think it was an engagement pic. I know my granparents are buried outside Johannesburg but am not sure of the name.
I was only aware of three children. Theresa 1913-2007, Milton 1916-1968? and Rita 1923-1995?.
My Uncle Miltie married Florence (?). They have 4 children:
a. Rudolf Herzenberg b.1942 - married Roberta Schwartz and has two kids (live in NY I think)
b. Cheryl b. 1944 - married Paul Ide, no children (live in Connecticut I think)>

d. Howard b. 1952? married Adele (?) and have two children, Josh and Michelle (all live in NY).
Rita married Jimmy Cohen in Johannesburg around 1950? and they have two children:
a. Glenda b. 1953? married Michael Gelgor and one son, David and they all live around Dallas, Texas
[Concerning Rudolf's grandfather:] The only other child of Elazer I know of was Daniel. Daniel and Isaac were brothers. Isaac was Rudolf's father and Isaac was the one that married Theresa Bernitz. Daniel did not marry a Bernitz. I only knew of Rudolf's mother, father and brother. I found Elazer and Amalie on the Internet."
