Hi, several of my ancestors surname Alexander and Friedländer lived in Wollstein in the mid 1800's. My ggg grandfather, Wolff Alexander, though probably born in Schonlanke, was the cantor at the synagogue in Wollstein. His two sons, Alexis and Jonas had a bookshop where cousin Dagobert Friedländer also worked for a time. Dagobert's first wife, Pauline Friedman was also born in Wollstein. She came from a long line who had been in Wollstein from at least 1799. Surnames Schiff, Salomon. Would love to hear who else had ancestors from Wollstein. Maybe we can find some connections!
