  • Note: "Rotschild" -- See the Freeman Book, p. 172, for a five generation picture of him, and a list of his children. I am uncertain as to which wife, Katharina Kleinsasser or Anna Tschetter, was the mother of a number of his children, namely Paul (b. ca 1867), David (b. 1868), and Anna (b. 1872). For now I have arbitrarily made Katharina Kleinsasser the mother of Paul and David and Anna Tschetter the mother of Anna. Further research is needed to help determine if this is actually correct (Tim Janzen 7 Jan 1999).
