Sigismund Wolff 1834-1898
Hello CJ. I have just been alerted to a match with you and I've just worked out that we must be 3rd cousins. Sigismund Wolff and Henrietta Mayer (as my grandmother spelt it) were my great grandparents. Sigismund had epilepsy and was often ill and pretty well confined to the house as he aged. I knew Alice Wolff / Baer too. In fact I was very fond of her. I used to call her 'Alice in Wonderland'. She had a lovely sense of humour and I remember she was great with children. I don't recall meeting Gerald Baer, though I probably did as he used to visit my grandmother and was friends with my father too. I'm very sorry that I don't yet have my family tree online as I started it when I was 17, way before the internet and it has more than 10,000 individuals on it. I'm still working (I'm a writer), so I have never yet found the time to start inputting my tree to Ancestry, but I do have records going back quite far. I live in the UK. How about you? All the best, Jacquie Buttriss (nee Rose, originally Rosenberg as I'm descended from Philip Rosenberg who married Maud Wolff,(in 1909 Marylebone) youngest daughter of Sigismund and Henrietta.. Philip & Maud had Jeffrey A Rosenberg 1911-1977 & Dennis R Rosenberg 1915-2002 Hampstead

1861-1866. Sigismund Wolff married Henrietta Maier, presumably in Germany - this from Hirsch Ancestry family tree, but no documentation
Does Jacquie know anything about this marriage??
Purchasing a b.c. of one of the children 1866- 1888 would confirm Henrietta's maiden name - I assume a descendant of one of the children has done this
