The family’s genealogy papers disagree about the store’s first year

This group brings handwritten charts, typed research and a family-compiled store history together. Family researchers handled the papers across generations and recorded 1841 for the firm’s founding. The firm’s own later advertisement and architectural research support 1843, so the earlier date remains a conflict rather than a correction.

English translation

Genealogical charts and family register. The sheets use the headings family tree, parents, children, born, died, married and occupation. The typed store-history note gives 1841 as the founding year. Personal names, locations and numeric dates remain as written. [Several overlapping lines are concealed by the arrangement and cannot be read in this photograph.]

English of the legible text, prepared for the Reichenbach Family Archive.
