I’ve been researching the history of my family, and have traced several branches of it over ten generations. I’ve now put most of it online. Click HERE to see it.
Gravestones of Rabbi Seligmann Levi (1768-1841) and his wife, Fromet Levi (1763-1829), my great-great-great-great-great-grandparents, in the town of Nassau in Hessen, Germany.
My most famous relative: Erich Mühsam. Cousin Erich was a well known poet and a leader of the anarchist movement in early 20th century Germany. He was one of the three or four top leaders of the Bavarian revolution in 1919, that established a short-lived Bavarian Soviet Republic. When the Nazis came to power, he was one of the people they murdered very early (mid-1934).
The oldest picture of a relative I have. Pincus Pappenheim, my great-great-great-great-great-grandfather. He lived 1737-1807.
