Dan Brockman is trying to figure out how Lazarus Schwarzkopf, born in Bohemia i about 1822 ties into the Schwarzkopf family. Here is his message:
"I still continue my search for the person L or Ludwig or Louis Schwarzkopf who went to St. Louis, Missouri and was active in 1850-1862 in the Jewish town life: I found a ship arrival record of a Lazarus Schwarzkopf at Baltimore on September 7, 1849 with a note that he was a butcher from Bohemia and bound for Missouri, sailing from Delft port on the ship Ann. His age was 27, thus born in about 1822. Source Ancestry.com and National Archives Roll M255."

I checked Badatelna for Dlouha Ves and Susice and could not find a birth record for a Lazar Schwarzkopf and also the Geni records for Lazar Schwarzkopfs and nothing matches the approximate birth year. Does anybody have any ideas of where else to check?

Hi,
I have also tried to help Dan to find this Lazarus Schwarzkopf, but he seems not to be among my Schwarzkopf people from southern Bohemia.. Anyhow I think the easiest way to find him is trough the Familianten records. He was born abt. 1827 and the Familianten records have indexes.

Good suggestion, Thomas. Thank you. There are a lot of Familianten books and not all have indexes. I tried to narrow it down by Googling Schwarzkopf Toledot.org since Julius Muller has listed the familiants for various towns. I am thinking I should start with Prachensky and Klatovsky since there were a lot of Schwarzkopfs in those regions. Do the indexes list all entries (familiant and all sons)? Do the page numbers mean anything? I have never understood whether they correspond to the image numbers.

Consulting Julius Muller's Toledot pages listing the Familiant names, I have been able to narrow down the search to certain Familiant books so it is less like looking for a needle in a haystack.

Thank you all for your help on this aspect of my family history. I am still attacking the problem with multiple lines. Putting existing Geni people into town Projects helps to look at family name conventions. Adding additional Schwarzkopf's from St. Louis City and Missouri state sources also helps cover possible relatives already there and those who followed.

I continue to look at Hamburg departures and US arrivals to complete the list of those who came bearing the name Schwarzkopf. Ann created the Schwarzkopf Family from Bohemia project where we can put people that currently do not have a documented home town.

Badatelna is the ultimate resource and I am grateful for your help on that.

Hi,
I have noticed that if a Familianten book lacks an index, look in the index of the following Familiant book. It is often a common index for two books.

That is helpful. I have looked for Schwarzkopfs in Familiant Books 62, 68, 121, 122, 123, but found no Lazar born in the 1820s so far. Dan Berwin Brockman do you know where the other Schwarzkopfs in St. Louis came from in Bohemia?

Recently I have been adding people from Svihov . Some are Bloch and some Schwarzkopf. Might be fruitful to learn more about this town. There is a Geni Project for the town and I added some info a while back.

I continue to add people named Schwarzkopf to this Name project as well as the Jewish Town projects if their birth or death is town specific. Thanks for your help.

Recent work centers on the towns of Véž and Dlouhá Ves where many Schwarzkopf family members came from. Look at the Jewish Town Projects of each one.

The Related Project of Schwarzkopf Family from Bohemia, Prague, and Vienna has also progressed by recent additions.

I found one family that seems to have coped with the Familitian Laws by having an Attic Marriage. See Anna Schwarzkopf. Anna Nany Schwarzkopf

We are so far back now that names of families did not exist. So eventually someone picked a name....black hat...

Some Schwarzkopf 's were residents in the Czech Town of Polnicka. Born around 1910.

See Martha S born 1913.
