| Hello Peter- It is very exciting to see that someone else is reasearching their Aufrict Genealogy. I just received additional information from Karel Aufricht in Michigan, USA.
He writes that the Name " Aufricht" was founded in the city of Worms in Germany about 1620. Jacob Aufricht came to Germany from Spain after the inquisitiion as he was an offical city writer. Members of his family left to the Eatsern European countries. Some to the Balkans and some to the Silesian parts of Poland, nost of his family members died in the 2nd world war. Karel as a daughter still living in the Czech Republic and a briother Thomas who lives in Aachen Germany. Karel states that he and I are definitely rel;ated, but we are still trying to make the names connection. He wrote that his father always told him that the Aufrichts from Ostrava were related and KArel met a man many years ago by the name of Josef Aufricht who was the German ambassador to Hungary, he was born in the former Yugoslavia. The Aufrichts are also Jewish althigh some parts of the family broke away from Judaism for obvious reasons and the decendants are unaware that we are originally Jewish. My connections to the Aufricht Family is as follows: Maternal Great Grandparents Karl and Regine Grandmother Ida-1898 Great Aunt- Else-1895 Uncles Ernst and Frydrych.-1903 and 1906 I hope maybe you and I can figure this all out. Please email me at Kmessner -a-t- optonline -d-o-t- net Your Maybe cousin-Karla | ||
