      1. Archival Research Paper about Herzenberg Family prepared for Kerry Petersen 28 Feb 2011 and is report no. Nr. 3-P-272, 2816, 1927 N, by Latvijas Valsts Vestures Arhivs (Latvian National Archives), Slokas iela 16, Riga, LV-1007. Complete transcript is in the notes of Edouard/Elias Ocipovitch Herzenberg and the following is but a partial transcript:
      KP Note: Attachments included per my description:
      1. Image of revision list of Jewish families belonging to Pilten as of Aug. 15, 1851, showing oklad (tax) numbers: #362 Jossel Lemchen Herzenberg, his sons: #363 Ruben, #364 Laser, #365 Jacob, #366 Levin, and #367 Elias. Researcher includes interpretation comment: "They were transferred from the membership of petty bourgeois oklad of Pilten to the 3rd guild merchant of Pilten in 1851."
      Note that incidentally on the same page separated by one large family grouping is another Herzenberg family who looks to be the original Joseph's son Chone/Elchanan with wife Schore and their sons and some grandsons. I am not sure of my deciphering the first two lines on the record, but the relationship that follows is clear:
      [No oklad #] [Willman? perhaps something like "Children of"?] Schore Chone Joseph Herzenberg
      [Their sons?]
      #213 Jossel Chone Herzenberg
      #214 Mendel Chone Herzenberg
      #215 Elias Chone Herzenberg
      #195 Gabriel Chone Herzenberg
      His sons, #196 Levin, #197 Salomon, #198 Hirsch, #199 Heyman Itzig..."

      2. The Latvian Archives is online and I have reviewed all Registers for Pilten. Registers are in German and I indicate what I don't understand. I extracted all Herzenbergs of which the following excerpts apply to this family:
