Hi to the List... .I was sent this from a friend in Canada and I do not know the answers for her...Is there someone that can help her and me PLEASE.... I have a question regarding this family. Is there a census for the year, 1862? Aaron Rosenthal, born in 1838-04-07 in Prussia (or also known as Poland Russia). He left home when he was 13. My feeling is that he came to Australia with his brothers but I have no census to prove this. In 1870, the family lived at 192 Victoria-parade E.M in East Melbourne, Australia. Listed in the Melbourne, Australia Directory for 1870 as follows: Rosenthal, Aaron (of Feldheim, Jacobs, and Co.), 192 Victoria-parade, E.M. Under “Feldheim,” the company is listed as tobacco merchants and general importers, 48 Queen St., with Aaron Rosenthal listed as one of the proprietors. Also listed is: Rosenthal, David, wholesale, jeweller and importer, 15 Little Collins-street west, p.r. Alma-street east, St. Kilda, Australia Other Rosenthals listed are: Isidore, Jacob, Julius, Samuel. I am wondering if these are his older brothers and he would have travelled to Australia with them and learned the trade of jewellery as he eventually came to Canada and started his own jeweller store. Can you help me with this connection? I need to find a connection with these other men. I did find Aaron Rosenthal's marriage to Bertha Lehmann at the house of H.Feldheim in Melbourne. I would love to find some connection with this family and I understand that you have a wealth of references that I cannot find on the internet. I would really appreciate any help. I look forward to hearing from you again. Thanks in advance,
