Dresden - Herold or Rolf-Herold
« on: Saturday 24 October 09 12:26 BST (UK) »
Hi, I am trying to help my husband find his roots which we know started in Dresden.  His grandfather was (as we know) John Arthur conrad Rolf Herold and was born in 1861.  We know that he was in England in about 1896 and could have been earlier. I just have this feeling that he could have been part of the exodus by some Jewish people who lived there and it was around 1881. I could be completely off the wall here - we can find his children detailed on the census for 1901. The trail has gone completely cold - we were told that he was interned in the Isle of Man but in spite of having his number etc his death has not been recorded anywhere. Is there anywhere in Dresden that I could contact the synagogue there to see if they can help?. I say herold or Rolf-herold because the name on his first child's birth certificate is Rolf-Herold and after that the names of the other children are Herold. Any input would be much appreciated so bye for now.

Hi,

just found a web site - all Herolds. How is your German?

http://www.familie-herold-online.de/index.php


There's an email address you can write to:  Spree_Kind  -(at)- web.de

The website belongs to:  Gudrun Schäffler, geb. Herold.

Good luck, Peonie
