- +Berthold Baruch BURCHARDT (b. 15 NOV 1864)
Information from the Borchardt family, as seen on a MyHeritage web site. Information includes a photograph of the tombstone of Julie and her husband (Jewish Cemetery Schönhauser Allee, Berlin, Germany, Field K-G, Row 17, Hereditary Grave 335, Plot 20296), which states that she was born in Pyritz 13 dec 1829, and the date of her marriage to Abraham Adolph Burchardt. The tree also includes her parents (as given here) and, notably, her siblings, matching our list except for the omission of Hanna or Johanna, and Pauline. It is possible that the Borchardt family is or was in possession of family records or other documents; notably, the tombstone gives her name only as Henriette Victor, and the same tree adds the name Samuel to Salomon, son of Michael Victor.
There is some doubt about the parentage of Julie. We found the betrothal notice in 1849, in which her father was identified as M. Salomon Victor, presumably referring to Michaelis Victor. However, not all of the Burchardt family records on the internet do not seem to support this idea. We are unable to rule out either of the possibilities, which are complicated by the possibility that Victor Salomon Victor also used the name Moses Salomon Victor.
A notice from M. Salomon Victor and his unnamed wife, announcing the betrothal of their daughter Henriette Victor to Adolph Burchardt, held at Pyritz on 24 jan 1849, appeared in a Berlin newspaper (Königlich privilegirte Berlinische Zeitung von Staats- und gelehrten Sachen, 27 jan 1849). Adolph and Henriette are buried in the Jewish cemetery in Schoenhauser Allee, Berlin: Henriette Burchardt geb. Victor, born at Pyritz 13 dec 1829, died at Berlin 08 mar 1885; Adolph Burchardt, born at Sonnenburg (now Słońsk, Poland) 19 mar 1823, died at Berlin 06 dec 1900. Adolph, and later his sons, ran a "Tapetenfabrik".
The death records of Henriette and her husband do not seem to have survived. One internet version of this family calls her Julie Henriette Charlotte Victor

Louis VICTOR (ID #I28088)
(male)
- BIRTH: abt 1825, Pyrzyce, Poland
- DEATH: aft 1865, probably in Berlin
Father: Michael Salomon VICTOR (b. 1794, d. 21 JUL 1861)
Mother: Beile Leise (Bertha) PHILIPPI (b. abt 1798, d. 04 MAY 1877)
Family 1
:
Jenny REINHARDT (d. aft 1905?)
- MARRIAGE: 30 JUN 1853, Wolin, Poland
- Ludolf VICTOR (b. 1853)
- Clara VICTOR (b. 1854)
- Sabina VICTOR (b. 1858)
- Max VICTOR (b. 03 SEP 1863, d. 1933)
- Helena VICTOR (b. 23 AUG 1865)
We identify him as the son of "M. S." Victor because he was living in Pyritz at the same address as the widow Victor born Philippi in the list of 1865, no. 58 Strattmerstrasse. By that time, Louis had married (the name of his wife not clearly legible on the list of 1865) and had five children, with birthdates apparently ranging from about 1853 to 1865. On the 1853 list, he was still single, a merchant, with an apprentice Leopoldt Freidenberg, age 15.
There are scattered mentions of a Louis Victor in late 19th Century newspapers and other records of Cincinnati, Ohio. We wondered if perhaps the Louis Victor found in the records of Pyritz might have ended up in Cincinnati. So far, there is very little information about the man in Cincinnati. The best citation to date is an editorial in the Cincinnati Enquirer, Sunday, 05 nov 1893, concerning Democratic candidates for the Ohio State Legislature. Among them was a Louis Victor, a shoe-cutter and foreman at the Sachs & Gerstler Shoe Company, who had retired from this job upon his nomination. Also in the same newspaper, 26 jan 1902, we note a Louis Victor among the baseball players of the Shoe and Leather League, representing Krohn, Fechheimer, & Co. The Krohn in question was Irwin MIchael Krohn (1869-1948), son of Moses Krohn (born about 1838 in Pyritz, lived in Saugerties, NY before moving to Cincinnati, where he died in 1905), in turn a son of Itzig Krohn and Ernestine Dobrin, of Pyritz, Prussia. In other words, it is now clear that the Krohn family in Cincinnati would have known the Victor family from Pyritz. Our Solomon Victor claimed to have been living in Cincinnati in 1870, but it is not yet clear how early Louis Victor settled there. An obituary for Irwin Michael Krohn, also in the Cincinnati Enquirer, 12 dec 1948, says that Moses had been the mayor of Saugerties, NY, and that the family moved to Cincinnati when Irwin Michael was about 5 years old, thus about 1874. A directory for Cincinnati from 1871 shows Louis Victor as a partner in the firm of Victor and Liebman (the other partner was Jacob L. Liebman), furnishing goods, 37 West Pearl Street, residence 67 Hopkins. Nearby was (J.) Victor, (M. B. and L. ) Bettmann, & Co., at 12 West Pearl Street. The firm of Victor and Liebman may be significant, for there is a marriage license in Auglaize Co., Ohio in 1900 for Louis Lewin of Chicago and Helena B. Victor of Cincinnati. Helena, according to the marriage license, was born in Cincinnati 22 feb 1874, the daughter of Louis Victor and Bertha "Lieberan" or "Liebenan". We think this is more likely an error for Liebman. However, on the 1880 census of Cincinnati, we found "Birdie" Victor with several children, including Helena (correct age), but Louis Victor was not present, and the notations indicate that both parents had been born in Hesse. So, this family is likely not ours, and Louis is likely the one who was born about 1836 in Hesse-Darmstadt (the name of the city in the Hamburg passenger lists looks like Alzly, not very clear, probably should be Alzey, near Worms), arrived in New York on the Germania 07 sep 1863, along with Bertha Liebmann (at that time, unmarried, but apparently traveling alone or with Louis, they are listed together on both the arrival and the departure passenger lists). Jacob Liebmann (from Alzey, internet sources gives dates 1842-1900) was already in Cincinnati as early as 1864 (directory entry); Bertha was presumably a sister or cousin of Jacob. Thus, in spite of the coincidence of names, there is so far no evidence to support the idea that the Louis Victor family in Cincinnati was related to our Solomon, and we have found no evidence that he knew anyone else who had settled in Cincinnati before 1870. What became of the Louis Victor of Pyritz remains a mystery.
We found a definite mention of our Louis Victor in the Amtsblatt der Regierung in Stettin, issue of 16 mar 1860, p. 52, under the section heading Personal-Chronik: "Als Agenten bestätigt: ... Der Kaufmann Louis Victor zy Pyritz als Agent der vaterländischen Hagel-Versicherungs-Gesellschaft zu Elberfeld für die Stadt Pyritz und deren Umgegend". In a later issue, 20 apr 1860, p. 82, a similar notice: "Der Essig-Fabrikant Schreiber zu Pyritz, an Stelle des Kaufmanns Louis Victor daselbst als Agent der vaterländischen Feuer-Versicherungs-Gesellschaft zu Eberfeld für die Stadt Puritz und deren Umgegend".
We also found a notice for the betrothal or engagement: Ostsee-Zeitung und Börsen-Nachrichten der Ostsee, issue of 02 jul 1853: "Verlobungs-Anzeigen. Die Verlobung unserer zweiten Tocheter Jenny mit dem Kaufmann Herrn Louis Victor aus Pyritz zeigen hiermit statt sonderen Meldung an Wollin, den 30 Juni 1853. — G. Reinhardt und Frau. Als Verlobte empfehlen sich: Jenny Reinhardt, Louis Victor." (Wolin is an island and town in the West Pomeranian Viovodeship, Poland.)

Michael Salomon VICTOR (ID #I26459)
(male)
- BIRTH: 1794, probably Pyritz, Prussia
- DEATH: 21 JUL 1861, Pyritz, Prussia (now Pyrzyce, Poland)
Father: Salomon VICTOR (b. abt 1765, d. 19 OCT 1817)
Family 1
:
Beile Leise (Bertha) PHILIPPI (b. abt 1798, d. 04 MAY 1877)
- MARRIAGE: 21 MAY 1823, Greifenberg, Poland
- +Louis VICTOR (b. abt 1825, d. aft 1865)
- +Salomon (or Samuel Salomon) VICTOR (b. abt 1825, d. 14 MAY 1892)
- Agnes ? VICTOR (b. abt 1831)
Marriage record at Greifenberg is found on FHL microfilm #1190946, on pp. 21-22. The manuscript is believed lost, along with essentially everything relating to the Jewish communities of "Prussia" that was collected by the Third Reich for microfilming. The microfilm in this case suffers from very uneven illumination, resulting in nearly complete illegibility of the left sides of the "recto" pages and right sides of the "verso" pages. However, the entry clearly names the couple as Michaelis Victor and Beile Leise Philippi (many examples where Bertha is used as a secular name for the Yiddish name Beile can be found on the internet). Their ages are obscured, but probably began with the numeral 2, and possibly both were age 27. The name of Michael's father appears to be Salomon Victor, as expected, and he came from Pyritz. The name of Bertha's father is too indistinct to read. There is additional script, probably undecipherable, after the name of Michael's father, presumably the name of his mother, although this information was not usually recorded for the other marriages on this list. The witness on behalf of Michael was the Schulmeister Hirsch.
Michael was mentioned in testimony at the trial of our Solomon Victor in 1870, in Bloomington, Illinois, as an uncle of our Solomon, having at some point in the past, perhaps about 1850, attempted to hang himself, and then possily declared insane and institutionalized. However, the testimony from Jacob Krohn of Freeport, Illinois, who had grown up with our Solomon Victor in Pyritz, Prussia, was technically hearsay evidence, reported only as a brief summary in the Bloomington Pantagraph. It is possible that Krohn was mistaken in some of his testimony, or that the details were incorrectly reported in the newspaper. Krohn had immigrated to the United States in 1853 (he is not listed on the Matrikel of 1853), and had returned to Pyritz for a visit in 1866, so he might be considered a well-informed source. However, he had apparently grown up with two boys named Solomon Victor, both about the same age, first cousins, so it is conceivable that he was confused about which was which, and their respective parentages. Because the court had already recognized that this was hearsay evidence, the cross-examination (at least as reported in the newspaper account) did not delve into the genealogical details, but established only that Jacob Krohn had neither witnessed nor had any personal knowledge of the attempted hanging of Michael Victor, nor of any of the subsequent events. Nevertheless, the testimony seems sufficient proof that our Solomon grew up in Pyritz, and that he was a nephew of Michael Victor. The other Salomon, a cousin of our Solomon, thus turns out to be the son of this same Michael Victor.
While the information from the Matrikels and elsewhere is sketchy, could it be that Louis and Salomon were twins? They seem to have been in business together.
Surprisingly, his death notice has turned up in the National-Zeitung (Berlin), 25 jul 1861, at the bottom of the last page. "Nach langem Leiden verschied heute 7 1/4 Urh im 68 Lebensjahre unser geliebter Gatte, Vater, Großvater, und Schwiegervater M. Salomon Victor zu einem besseren Leben. Um stille Theilnahme bittet. Pyritz den 21 Juli 1861. Die Hinterbliebenen". Note that the phrase "in the 68th year of his life" could be construed to mean that his age as we would reckon it today was 67, and that he had not yet reached his 68th birthday, thus placing his birth about 1794.
