Dear Gersig Members

I am presently working on my PLATO ancestry line as my great grand
father is Immanuel PLATO born in Koln (1863-1937). He was the Rabbi of
Koln and Hamburg.

Thanks to the precious assistance of the Mendelsohn Akademie in
Halberstadt, I could trace back his ancestors >from Halberstadt in
Saxony-Anhalt. His father is the Rabbi Zvi Hirsch PLATO (1822-1910) and
was the chief Rabbi of Koln and the grandfather Hirsch Marcus Plato
(1756-1814) also >from Halberstadt.

I have two requests for assistance as I am at a dead end for a few
months.

1. The mother of Rabbi Zvi Hirsch PLATO is named Hanna PHILIP born in
Oscherselben in Saxony-Anhalt (a few kilometers >from Halbertadt )in 1781
who died in Halbertadt in 1864. Other than that I have no other
information on her parents. Would anyone have data on Oscherselben, or
on the PHILIPP of the region?

2. the wife of the Hirsch Marcus PLATO is named J Gente CALOMON
(1753-1820 died in Halbertadt). I never found any information on Calomon
which seems to be very uncommon.

I have registrars extract on those people.

Thanks and best regards
