Notes
a. Note:   Karl Herschel was an orthodox Jew and was thought to be Rabbi although other family letters say he was involved in jewelry and watches. His tombstone refers to him as "Rabbi" but this was often used for someone learned and not necessarily an ordained Rabbi. According to family letters he was the "first jew in Norway" and came to Norway from Goteborg, Sweden in 1860 although he and his wife were born in "Oesterreich" (Austrian Empire). He wrote the book "Nyt Lys. De fem Mofeboger" ("New Light, The Five Mosaic Books") which was published by Udgiverens Forlag, a Bergen, Norway publishing house in 1884. A drawing of Karl is in the front of the book. When his son Leon married a Christian, Karl shunned his son. Most of the Jewish side of the family were exterminated by Hitler in World War II. It is believed that a few distant cousins escaped to Israel and the U.S. The 1891 Bergen Census lists him as "Kive" Herschel. His birthplace in Bukovina was a province of the Austrian Hungarian empire, today it's part of the Ukraine. Karl, his wife Anna and their daughter-in-law Johanna are buried in Försterweg Jewish Cemetery in Hamburg-Langenfelde, Germany. Johanna is located in grave box O 2 - to 8, Anna Herschel is located in grave field B - 184 and Karl Herschel is in grave box C - 19. The cemetery also includes a memorial for the fallen soldiers of WWI, and on this monument is also the name of Siegfried Herschel. A cousin, Ori Nir, graciously translated the tombstone as follows: Buried here Is the body of an innocent and honest man Who loved justice and had done many acts The Sage Haim Shalom son of Rabbi Abraham Died on 9 January 1892 At the age of 70 ------ My dear wife and family members Here in these clods of earth You will seek in vain In the depths of your hearts, concealed, There you should seek me, there you shall find me, Because that is what I have toiled for your sake This was my travail in life To etch on your hearts The eternal memento of my love TNZBH (an acronym that stands for: "May his soul be blessed with eternal life") Note that the Norwegian archives also show a few other Herschels: 1) Steven Herschel, born in Brody in 1820, living in Bergen, Norway in 1865. Could this be a sibling? Steven lives with the Dahl household. Mrs. Dahl's birthplace is Hamburg, which is another link. Her maiden name is Sannemann. 2) Fridrich Kurt Herschel Born 25.12.1889 in Groetzsch (likely Groitzsch near Saxony, Germany) was living in Kristiana in 1910. Taken from the inside cover of "Nyt Lys. De fem Mofeboger" by Karl Herschel
