Documents


Note: Netty Weldler is the mother of David Deutsch's second wife. David Deutsch's first wife, also a Hanni Weldler, was a relative of Herschel Weldler, husband of Hanny Weldler. Hence the two wives of David Deutsch were (first or second) cousins. They all come from St. Georgen (Sv. Jur, St. Gyoergy) in Upper Hungary (today Slovakia) not far from Trnava.
Note: Anna Rosenbaum-Weldler was married 62 years to Moritz Rosenbaum and died in 1912. Moritz Rosenbaum married in 1850 an Anna Schay (a widow). Schay is Hebrew for gift. Hence Anna Rosenbaum-Weldler is the Anna Schay. Moritz Rosenbaum fathered a daugher, Elisabeth, with Netty Bral in 1854. Anna Rosenbaum is referred to as Netty in Arpad's letter. Hence Netty Bral is Anna Rosenbaum, and Bral is her first husbands name.

The Rosenbaum Family

Josef Rosenbaum born in Teleki 1788, died in Brezov (hungarian: Berezoe), 29.5.1863. Rabbi of Brezov 1832-1863.

He had a son, Moshe Nahum (Moritz) Rosenbaum, born in Izsak (Hungary) 1827. Died in Trnava 1915. Seemingly a gifted talmudic scholar.
Cantor in Trnava. He was also the Sandak of Herman Deutsch, son of David Deutsch from his first marriage.

Moritz married Anna (Netti) Schay Bral-Weldler from St. Georgen, born 1816, widow, in 1850. She died in Trnava in 1912, after 62 years of marriage.
Among their children is a daughter, Elisabeth Rosenbaum, born 1854.

Josef Rosenbaum had at least one more son born in Brezov, Emrich Rosenbaum, who was married to Terezia Spatz from Koertvelyes, daughter of Jakob Spatz.
More relatives of Moritz Rosenbaum seemingly lived in Ipolypaszto (Hungary).


Note: The birth certificate and the marriage contract speak of Elisabeth Rosenbaum, but she is buried as Bertha Rosenbaum. Bertha is a Frankian name with Christian connotations. Elisabeth is Hebrew. A common short form of Elisabeth is Betty. It is likely that Elisabeth was called Betty, which at her death was taken for a nickname of Bertha.
