- 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:
HL 106/10 shows b. in Goldingen, d. in, md. to .
BIOGRAPHY:
1. 28 Jul 2007 Http://www.herzenberg.net/leo/htmlrh/Content.html copyrighted by Leo Herzenberg:
"An meinen Sohn (To my son) Leonhard Herzenberg von (from) Robert Herzenberg. Memoirs written during the 1940's." Translated during the 1990's by Leonardo (Leonhard) Herzenberg. The entire memoir is quite lengthy and included in its entirety in my notes with Joseph Herzenberg, the original known ancestor, in this database. The following is only the portion dealing with this part of the family:
"The Generation of My Parents
[78] My grandparents Naftali and Nese had four sons and six daughters: Leonhard, Joseph, Ignatz, Leopold, Sarah, Ernestine, Sophie, Fanny, Dora, and Lina...
Of the aunts I know even less, except for Fanny, of whom I write later. Aunt Sarah was married to Michael Friedmann in Sackenhausen. They had many children of whom I had only superficial knowledge. I only saw them two or three times, lastly when she was already a widow living in Riga and I visited her in 1930 [84]. She was a strong woman, a master at brewing Easter mead [ostermet]. That was brewed by every family and drunk on Easter. Where the Jews picked up this old German, or old Slavic home industry is not clear to me, but the mead was clear and golden. In Mitau there was a large mead brewery, Friedlander, and their mead at Easter was an unforgettable pleasure."
