Lazarus Jacob Emanuel German Jewish Winters
I am looking for anyone who knows anything about the Winter family who at some point changed names from Hebrew to the German name Winter.It started I believe with Lazarus who already carried the surname Winter but still had a Hebrew first name as well as his father Jacob and his father Emmanuel.Lazarus apparently decided to totally end the Hebrew line when he named his son Seigmund. Seigmund married Wilhemine Bonn who was born January 13,(some documents say the 12th) 1855 in Germany.She died in Gelsenkirchen, November 10, 1924 and had 4 sons, Julius, Fritz, Ernst, and Kurt Winter.She married Seigmund Winter who was born in Hemmerden in July 7, 1859 and died in Gelsenkirchen on June 9, 1919.Any help is appreciated.If anyone knows the Jewish line from the Bonn family from Germany that would be helpful also.I have much more information about birth dates and cities but for lack of time I will post this.I need to get back to who changed which name, and when if at all possible.Thanks.
