**Under review: Bob Lenk Mikulov (Nikolsburg) Bohm ancestors

Isak BOHM Born: unknown Died: 1808 in Nikolsburg + Gütl (?) Died: 1813 in Nikolsburg

• Josef Ber BOHM Born: 1774 in Nikolsburg. Died: 1839 in Nikolsburg + Hodes "Hani" DEUTSCH Born: 1779 in Nikolsburg. Died: 1856 in Nikolsburg
  • Aron BOHM Born: 1811 in Nikolsburg. Died: 1850 in Nikolsburg + Pepi POLLAK Born: 1813 in Nikolsburg. Died: 1884 in Vienna
    • Herman "Hirsch" BOHM Born: 1849 in Nikolsburg. Residence: Vienna. Died: 1910 in/near Budapest + Josefine KRAMERL Born: 1852 Died: 1914 in Vienna. *great-grandparents of Bob LENK

From the familien-register of Nikolsburg, it seems that the couple you identify as BOHM were Herschl (sometimes spelled Hirschl or Hirsch) and Fradl Bohm. They had the following children's births recorded: (explanation of what records exist Nikolsburg/nikres.htm)

Name	Birth Date	Presumed name in Vienna
Josua Ber Bernat	1820	Bernhard
David	1822
Katti	1824	Katharine
Güetl (Gütl)	1826
Naftali	1828	Naphtali
Resl (perhaps Resi?)	1831	Josephine
Name	Death Date	Presumed name in birth records
David, son of Hersch	1826
Bella, dtr of Herschl	1826	Gutl
Herman	1837	Herschl

I did not find a birth of Herschl or marriage to Fradl, as earlier years are far from complete. Based on these records, I made the assumptions about name equivalences. I have found many variations and inconsistencies of similar magnitude in names and dates - especially in the Nikolsburg records. The death listings in the Familienten-Register include two entries for Fani Bohm, wife of Josua Ber, dated 1838 and 1839. Most likely one of these is the same as Fradl Bohm, mother of the 4 children. The equivalence of Herman (in the death record) and Herschl is likely. Furthermore, there is a grave recorded as Herschl in the Nikosburg cemetery database

I photographed a grave (and according to the database) left to right are: Lea, Hirsch, and Woegele. I have not been able to read the name to verify if it is the correct grave, but the year of death seems to be correct, 5596 or 5597 (1836 or 1837)

I have a total of 15 digital photographs of these 3 graves, about 17 MB total in size. I could email them, or the better ones. If that's too much to download, I could mail you a CD. Someone with good Hebrew fluency (especially someone familiar with grave s) and a lot of patience could certainly read more than I have been able too, but not necessarily everything. One of the adjoining stones is broken and incomplete. I do not see any clear connection to my line. There were not that many Bohm households in Nikolsburg, so some connection is likely.

In summary, the State Central Archives in Prague have birth, marriage and death records back only as far as 1850. Earlier ones were destroyed. Luckily, in 1913 Rabbi Moritz Levin decided to compile a "Familien-Register", a complete index of the birth, marriage and death registers up until that year, and this massive tome has survived in the Nikolsburg collection of the Jewish Museum Archive. The index contains useful information in addition to the family names, according to which it is organized. The birth index starts in 1767 and gives first name, family name and year of birth as well as the names of father and mother. The marriage index starts in 1798 and gives first and family names of the marriage parties and the year in which the marriage took place. The death index starts in 1798 and gives year of death and age as well as often the name of father, mother or spouse, or else profession. When I was in Prague I transcribed all of the BOHM entries from the Familien-Register (abt. 72 births, 43 deaths, 13 marriages)
