The Doliniany-Rohatyn Aufrichtigs
The following family of Aufrichtigs are descended from Zvi
Hirsch Aufrichtig. This group of Aufrichtigs takes its identity from the
neighbouring towns of Dolniany and Rohatyn in in the former Austrian province
Galicia. There are as yet no place of birth/death details for Zvi Hirsch
Aufrichtig, but it is recorded that his son, Shmuel
Hennich Aufrichtig, was born in Dolniany in 1880, and his wife, Rifka
Klein, died in Rohatyn in 1912.
Family members currently reside in South Africa, the United States, Australia, Canada, England, Israel and New Zealand. I am indebted to Bernice Aufrichtig Baise for her total support in all things Aufrichtig and to family members Bernard Aufrichtig, Colin Gans, Diane Daitz, Dorothy Silver, Harry Webber, Jody Aufrichtig, Marcel Apsel, Ryan Aufrichtig and Samantha Zive for their encouragement. Special thanks, too, to Paul Cheifitz for so many of the family pictures included in these pages.
