While the study by Iveta Cermanová has been referenced before, this 43 page description of her study is in English, making it easily accessible to many more of us, and is attached to the profile of JOSEPH KIRSCHNER SHOHET

It is especially interesting in that Iveta Cermanová talks about Jews suffering in a pogrom documenting the details in a personal Megilla, and their perspective of multiple Purims.

Yes, the original document in Hebrew is the profile pic for Josef Schlächter/Shochet (Mislap), Kirschner.

I discovered this yesterday, and Josef Schlächter/Shochet (Mislap), Kirschner.
is my fifth great-grandfather.

Having read through the fine print on this study by a historian at the Jewish Museum in Prague, there seem to be several genealogical discrepancies with the tree we have on GENI.

The names of people in the footnote by Iveta Cermanová do not match with descendants of Josef Schlächter/Shochet, Kirschner's on GENI.

Just wondering .....

Here is the copy/paste of her footnote:

"65) Considering that Joseph Kirschner had at least three children (one son and two daughters), it may
be assumed that more than one copy was made immediately after the text of the megillah had been
produced.
66) Gross’s megillah was copied by Joseph Hanokh (Enoch), known as Juzpa Kisch (1804–1874), for
his father-in-law MVHR Joseph Moses Mizlap (1789–1869) in 507 according to the minor era (i.e.,
1846/1847), which is written in an ornate frame within which the manuscript of the scroll is contained. Although the text in the frame is not entirely legible, it makes clear that the megillah was probably a birthday gift. Joseph Moses Mizlap, son of Moses Abraham Mizlap and his wife Rachel, was
the great-grandson of the main protagonist and author of the megillah, after whom he was named. In
1839 Joseph Kisch married Joseph M. Mizlap’s daughter Maria (b. 1818), thereby becoming part of
the family of the descendants of the author of the megillah. Joseph Kisch, the fourth (second surviving) son of Enoch Kisch and Abigail Pick, was a prominent member of the Prague Jewish community
in the 19th century. One of his sons was the famous Rabbi Alexander Kisch (1848–1917), who was the
father of the historian Guido Kisch (1889–1985). For more details concerning the family of Joseph
M. Mizlap and Joseph Kisch, see AHMP, Soupis pražského obyvatelstva 1830–1910 (1920) [List of
