Some more details from Bruno´s birth documents:

address of birth for Bruno Solomonica: Sanatorium Löw, Mariannenstrasse
parents address: Alserstrasse 28
Second witness of birth: Simon Horwitz, Wilhelm´s father in law, Mölkerbastei 8

Marianne also had family in Vienna and prague so between them they had contacts in romania, austria, czech and germany. maybe they travelled and stayed in different places Im not sure. I think they stayed vienna and berlin the most but possibly also stayed else where?

Thank you Ursula that is great. This basically shows Julius (brother) and Bruno (nephew) related to Welhelm...
Also the address is Alsergrund which is where maximillian gymnasium is. Alsergrund is also where Alexander lived at different times

so Bruno and Marcel were cousins...
also I found this http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=7...=0CEQQ6AEwBDgK

http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=78hLAQAAIAAJ&q=alex+solomonica+maximilians-gymnasium&dq=alex+solomonica+maximilians-gymnasium&hl=en&sa=X&ei=RDL9UqHsCOGN7QaipoG4Ag&ved=0CC8Q6AEwAA

Bruno, Marcel, Alexander at Maximilians at the same time. can we say that they are most likely to be related? we just dont know how yet?

also I found the proof that a Blanch Solomonica was indeed the sister of alexander https://www.google.co.uk/search?tbm=...monica&tbm=bks

my granddad Michael edited the book Herr Heckfich and it his him saying exclusively to the members of my own family, my parents, my two sisters, my beautiful aunt Blanche, my father's sister, and her two daughters

[UrsulaK]

Corin, you should try getting a copy of this book, your grandfather´s edition of Herr Heckfisch, f.e. from here: http://www.ubka.uni-karlsruhe.de/kvk...showCoverImg=1
I searched with different terms in the book and it contains a chapter "My father", would have wondered me, if not.
It says, Alexander came from Romania to Berlin with his family when he was a [very?] small child. He missed his nationality, when he neglected going back doing his military service.
His mother died when he was six years old, his father married again and he loved his stepmother and that was the reason why he hated and despised his father, a successful building contractor.
When he got interned in WWI, it was in Holzminden internment camp.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holzminden_internment_camp

Could Wilhelm be Alexander´s father? He and Clara Horwitz got married in 1896:

Perhaps you should also order Wilhelm´s registry dates from Vienna. If Alexander is his son he will be noted down on Wilhelm´s registration card.

A little bit a about Blanche, I found here: http://www.deutsches-museum.de/filea...t_006_2013.pdf
She was born in Berlin-Lichterfelde, but no date.

Dear Ursula you are being such a great help and I cant thank you enough.
it seems funny I starting looking for his family again only a few weeks ago and did come across all these names. I thought strange they were from the same places but no connection but now it is beginning to make sense. The information I found on the internet suggested Alexander was in Vienna from 1891 but with time and life maybe this was wrong and he was in berlin for a few years first? I did read about Blanche from Berlin (which would now make sense if thats where the family moved) and married Paul mahlberg an architect and possibly moved to hampstead london for a while? which is 10 minutes walk from where I live at in London the moment funnily. My great aunts Sophie and Eve are still alive. I am sure they dont know/remember Alexanders parents names as I have asked. They would probably remember Blanche if Michael did but they are very old now so I dont want to pester them or upset them unnecessarily. They will though be very happy if we found out who the rest of the family were. I will contact them as soon as we know for sure.

My mother has a copy of Herr Heckfish but it maybe in German. I will see if I can borrow it and can improve my language skills perhaps.

Wilhelm as father makes sense. I did wonder if alex was the illegitimate child from Wilhelm but with the locations and dates of moving and date of marriage to Clara it seems he just got remarried? I will also request Wilhelms data from Vienna.
Maybe rough date for death of mother 1895? lichterfelde berlin?

"Det var så lidt", people in Danmark use to say
I really hope, we are on the right way.

:0)
so ive sent of the form for Alexanders and Wilhelms Austrian registration so hopefully I will get some sort of conformation over the next month or two.

Now to find the mother? died 1895...Berlin perhaps?
Blanche...

[UrsulaK]

The index for jewish death records does not have an entry for a Solomonica in 1895. So, the mother probably died in Berlin.

When do you think Blanche was born? 1890-1895?
Perhaps somebody of the Berlin part of this forum can help you with a research at the Landesarchiv? At least if there is a chance to find a birth or death record only having the name, a year and Lichterfelde?

Hello all,

I look for SOLOMONICA in adressbooks Berlin at +/- 1900, but not found.
--> http://www.zlb.de/besondere-angebote...ssbuecher.html

I think Blanche SOLOMONICA was student for art in Berlin about 1913, and not born in Berlin.

Paul MAHLBERG too a student in Berlin 1912/1913, he wrote: he was a katholik born 1889 in Düsseldorf.
"Schinkels Theaterdekorationen"
--> https://archive.org/details/schinkelstheater00mahl

Courios, that they married in London Hampstaed 1913.

In Chemnitz Saxony in Germany lived about 1890 merchant Jüsony SALOMONICA (jew).
--> http://db.yadvashem.org/names/nameDe...01&language=de
His daughter died in the Shoah:
Erna Durlacher, geb. Solomonica wurde in Chemnitz, Deutsches Reich geboren. Sie war die Tochter von Jusony und Trude. Sie war mit Arthur verheiratet. Vor dem Zweiten Weltkrieg lebte sie in Baden Baden, Deutsches Reich.

I don't know who Jüsony SOLOMONICA was. But he was not a builder. The givenname Jüsony is rar. Perhaps relatives to Alexander born in Romania or not

Chemnitz Saxony 1892: Jüsony SOLOMONICA, Kaufmann Textilien. Owner: Jüsony SOLOMONICA & Maxim. Meyer GOLDNER.

Hallo Ursula and Juergen. Sorry for the slow reply. There is a few things to think about I feel. I guess I will put a message on the Berlin part of the forum as suggested. I am suprised I can't find where Blanche and Paul went and when and where they died as Paul in particular seems well known. The answer will be out there somewhere :0) and the mother is very much a mystery at the moment. Could it be that if she died in Berlin, as a Jew, there maybe no record?

Jusony...nice name, very unusual. It seems the solomonicas from Iasi and Vienna all wrote in the German language which is interesting. Maybe roots in germany before Romania? Could be that Jusony and Erna are related to the rest somehow. Is Solomonica quiet a rare name also? alot of people with that name some what related? thanks for your help x

Take a look

Hello,

take a look at this Website:

http://gedbas.genealogy.net/person/show/1127775912

Greetings DM

Interesting. This leads to

https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sophie_Templer-Kuh

She is a step-daughter of Alexander Solomonica and may be still alive. Maybe she knows more?

http://web.archive.org/web/20051107095412/http://www.wienerzeitung.at/Desktopdefault.aspx?tabID=3946&alias=wzo&lexikon=Portr%C3%A4t&letter=P&cob=4330

This article mentions a rather strained relationship to her stepfather, leading to an attempt at suicide.

It's still not clear whether Alexander Solomonica and Marianne Kuh were actually married. Some articles say they were, some others say they "lived together".

My guess is that they were not married since the children apparently had their mother's family name.

e.g. https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michae...e_(Journalist)

That article states that Alexander and Marianne were married, but it doesn't say that Alexander was the father of Michael, only that "his mother Marianne married ... Alexander". You'd need to get a copy of the certificate of birth.

Hope that helps.

[corin]

Sophie is alive (97 years old!) and I am in touch with her. She does not know the names of his parents. Michael was his son for sure.

thank you for this. she has told me most of this history but it is a very good article. thanks

[gki]

If you are in contact, you might be able to get a copy of her mother's death certificate. It should specify her marital status, so you could check whether it is worth your while hunting for a marriage certificate (which should specify his parents).

It may have been difficult for them to marry due to him not having a passport.

Did you check this already?

Note: Alexander may not have been his original given name, seeing that Wilhelm was also named Wolf.
