Mr. Frank generously allowed me to use the nineteen pages of extracted records, which covered selected time periods. These records enabled me to perform some simple analyses, develop a method, and run some pilot studies. The results were promising, and I hired Mr. Wollmersh\u00e4user to work through the Donaueschingen records, systematically summarizing record by record in German. Preliminary results based on this data were presented at the <span class=\"T8\">Thirty-second IAJGS International Conference on Jewish Genealogy in Paris, 2012<\/span> and published in Avotaynu<\/span><span class=\"Footnote_20_Reference\"><span class=\"T5\"><span class=\"Footnote_20_anchor\" title=\"Footnote: Bloch, \u201cThe Jews of St\u00fchlingen.\u201d\"><a id=\"body_ftn4\" href=\"#ftn4\">4<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"Standard\">As result of this publication, I was contacted by yet another fellow genealogist, Steven Guggenheim, who was looking for his ancestors in St\u00fchlingen and the neighbouring town of Tiengen. Graciously, he granted me full access to all of the records that Mr. Wollmersh\u00e4user was to extract for him, mainly from the Karlsruhe archive, aiming for an almost complete collection of available records. Whereas the records were abstracted for me in German, records abstracted for Werner Frank and Steven Guggenheim were translated into English on the fly. Fiscal constraints did not allow the systematic collection of digital images.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"Footnote\"><span class=\"footnodeNumber\"><a id=\"ftn3\" class=\"Footnote_20_Symbol\" href=\"#body_ftn3\">3<\/a><\/span><span class=\"T12\">Stone<\/span>, \u201c<span class=\"T12\">Prosopography<\/span>.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"Footnote\"><span class=\"footnodeNumber\"><a id=\"ftn4\" class=\"Footnote_20_Symbol\" href=\"#body_ftn4\">4<\/a><\/span>Bloch, \u201cThe Jews of St\u00fchlingen.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As the method for my investigation I chose prosopography, as defined and described by Lawrence Stone in 1971.3 But the current study violates some of Stone\u2019s conditions.
