    • 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:
      HG016 shows Leo md. to Lucy.
      "Was smuggled out of Germany to Israel when the Nazis came to paower. He sat in the British Governor's Office in Palestine until such time as they gave his visas for his young family still in Germany."

They were first cousins of my late father. Leo had a daughter Lilly. Lilly married Julius Farkas and they had a son Daniel. I am in close contact with Dani, and in fact he and his wife Dalia had dinner here last night. On Dani's behalf I am extending my efforts
      beyond the descendants of Adolph and Lydia.

      BURIAL:
      1. Per 4 Aug 2010 email from Ron Lapid who found and photographed Leon's tombstone. It is in Hebrew and Ron has supplied the following translation and information:
      "Here is buried
      My dear father and grandfather
      LEO Herzenberg
      Arieh son of Avraham Elchanan
      Born 7th of Sivan 5659
      Died 9th Adar 5731
      May His Dear Soul Rest In Peace"
      Here are a few notes from Ron:
      a. 7th of Sivan 5669 = 16th May 1899. This date of birth does not match the one previously used: 4th January 1899.
      b. 9th Adar 5731 = 6th March 1971.
      c. Leo is buried in the Holon Cemetery. This is a few miles south of Tel Aviv. Block 4, Section 3, Row 20, Grave 35.
      d. His wife Lucy/Lutzi died and is buried in Germany where she was visiting in honor of Daniel's barmitzvah.
      e. In the same cemetery Felicia Herzenberg is also buried, died 17th Apr 1972. Her connection is unknown at this time including to Dani Farkas, who is a descendant of Leo and lives in Israel.
