The Aufrichtig Family
This section of the Aufrichtigs website is devoted to photographs that have helped unite branches of the Aufrichtig family. At the time of the Millennium, two family lines had been successfully traced from Zalel Aufrichtig (1773-1849) to the present day. Zalel's son, Salomon Z Aufrichtig (1813-????), had 10 children. Fifth of these was my great grandfather, Jakob (1844-1931), and youngest was Sigmund Aufrichtig (1858-1920). Attempts to trace descendants of any of his other children have thus far proved unsuccessful.
Photographed at a family gathering in London to celebrate the 60th birthday of Charles Oscar Aufrichtig [Roberts] in November 2000 are, from left to right: Mathew Jon Allen, Kerrie Leigh Allen, Lesley Carolyn Roberts, Philip Anthony Roberts, Paul Stuart Roberts and Susan Allen.
The connection: Great-great-grandfather to all was Jakob H Aufrichtig (1844-1931)
