I was reading the papers recently and ... No, let's start that again.
I was browsing in the newspaper archives recently and found some articles
about my Greatgreatgrandmother Maria Smith . In 1852 she was remanded in custody on
suspicion of killing her new-born child and concealing it's death. Fortunately,
my Greatgrandmother, Rose Elvina Breeze , was born later, and survived !
Otherwise, I wouldn't have been born, and you wouldn't now be reading this !
As the papers say :
"Read all about it !!!"

After saying all these years that my Step-Grandmother was a MALACEK, it now turns out that
she was born as Minna Bunzlau !
Nachdem ich so viele Jahre behauptet habe, meine Stiefgrossmutter eine MALACEK sei, stellt es
sich heraus, dass sie als Minna Bunzlau geboren wurde !

Welcome Isabella !
For many years all I knew about three Margulies siblings, Julius, Siegmund and Bella,
was that they had "died young". In 2016 I found a death notice for Isabella Margulies , my Greataunt, in the
'Neue Freie Presse' from 1897. So now I know a little bit more about her, and I welcome her to
the "Margulies Chronicles".
Willkommen Isabella !
Für viele Jahre wusste ich von Julius, Siegmund und Bella, drei Geschwister meines Großvaters,
nur dass sie jung gestorben sind. In 2016 habe ich in der 'Neue Freie Presse' von 1897 eine
Todesanzeige für Isabella Margulies , meine Großtante. Dadurch weiss ich jetzt ein bisschen
mehr über sie, und heisse sie Willkommen im "Margulies Chronicles".

More "technical" news. I have replaced the list of surnames with a
Register of Names instead.
Names are sorted alphabetically by surname, and for each surname, alphabetically by forenames.
Dates of birth and death, where known, are also shown.
As it takes a while to display the full list, I'm leaving it up to you to
select the names you want to see.
March / April 2016 :

There have been no major developments on the research side for a while, so only technichal
news this time:
- I am working on making this website "mobile friendly" (or at least friendlier !)
This will take a while so please be patient if there are some funny formattings happening.
- I am re-writing the family trees using a different technique (SVG - Scalable Vector Graphics).
I will only be updating this new version in future, so if you are getting the "older browser"
message, please try viewing the trees in a newer browser.

In 2005 I started a topic on a family history forum, RootsChat.Com, hoping to find out more
about my mother's uncle, Joseph Remenyi. I used much of the information I received
there to write his biography page here.
Nine years later, 2014, a RootsChatter
added some new information, which then sparked off more discoveries. I've now re-written
Joseph Remenyi 's biography page, and added a new page for his wife, Margit Papaloczy .
in der Hoffnung mehr über Joseph Remenyi - den Onkel meiner Mütter - herauszufinden, fragte ich in einem
Ahneforschungsforum, RootsChat.com, nach. Vieles der dort empfangenen Informationen konnte ich hier
in seiner Biografie-Seite verwenden.
In 2014, neun Jahre später, fügte einen RootsChatter neue Information hinzu, was wiederum die Diskussion
neu belebte. Jetzt habe ich die Seite für Joseph Remenyi neu geschrieben und sogar eine neue
Seite für seine Frau, Margit Papaloczy , hinzugefügt.

My Aunt remembers that Moritz had a rope factory ... possibly in Katowice.
Searching the web for Moritz Margulies and Maurycy Margulies I managed to find some information,
which might refer to this.

My previous webspace provider Ancestryhost.Org decided to stop offering webspace
so I've now moved the site to another provider. While I was at it, I changed the
site-name, to The Margulies Chronicles, and did a lot of reorganising.
I am now happier with the structure, although it means most of the page links
have now changed.
If you are having problems finding anything,
just drop me a line.
Meine früheren webspace provider, Ancestryhost.Org, bietet diesen Dienst nicht
mehr an - ich habe deshalb mit der Website zu einem neuen Provider umziehen müssen.
Ich habe die Gelegenheit dazu benutzt, den Website-Name zu ändern -
The Margulies Chronicles (
Die Margulies Chroniken), und habe alles neu organisiert. Mir gefällt
die Struktur jetzt besser, aber viele der Seiten-Links sind jetzt anders geworden.
Falls Sie Problemen haben, irgendetwas zu finden,
schreiben Sie mich einfach an !

"shoresim - jewish roots in Poland" site. The

family, as well as my Greatgrandfather and his young daughter. These findings are

My Mum's aunt married Viktor Stein. I have a photo of Viktor's father, Adolf Stein, in uniform.
I decided to ask on a family history forum, whether anybody could tell me anything about the uniform.
The answer came back very quickly :
that's a major in the K.K. Reserves, probably LIR 11 in Jičin
.
This was enough to start me off on a search that ended up with a fairly full account of Adolf Stein's
military career.

Die Tante von My Mum heiratete Viktor Stein. Ich habe ein Foto von Viktors Vater, Adolf Stein, in
Uniform. Ich dachte, ich frage in einem Ahnenforschungsforum nach, ob jemand mir etwas über die
Uniform sagen könnte.
Die Antwort kam sehr schnell zurück:
das ist ein Major der k.k. Landwehr....vermutlich LIR 11 aus Jičin
Diese reichte aus, um eine Suche anzufangen, das mir zum Schluß einen ziemlich vollständigen
Übersicht über Adolf Steins militärische Karriere zu machen.

Some time ago I found a reference in the internet to Hans about his first year in Britain. He
shared a seaside cottage in Bacton with another refugee, Stefan Pollatschek. I have now obtained
the full article and discovered that the Margulies and the Pollatscheks were all good Bridge players,
which made them very welcome to the local Bridge players.

Through my new cousin I found out more about Greatgreatgrandmother, Maria Breeze.
And it wasn't pretty !!
An article in the local paper reports on some court proceedings, where Maria tried to sue
someone for maintenance for her illegitimate child. Another report describes another trial where
some of her friends are sued for committing perjury (on her behalf) in the first trial.

My website has been online 10 years now, and although there has been a lot
of interest shown, no long-lost relatives found it ... or me. Until now !
I have now received an e-mail from one relative through my site, and on the same
day another relative got in touch through a family history forum.
This led to contact with a third relative. With their help I have now been
able to add more details to various Coleman pages as well as some brand new
biography pages.
