Can someone please post a link to a Rothenberg family tree. My second great grandmother was Lina Rothenberg b. 1847 and d. 1932. I would like to trace her ancestry.

My GGM was Fannie = Fruma Rothenberg (1864-1920) from Suwalki region, she emigrated to Cincinnati with her parents Hyman (1838-1918) and Chana Prenska (1839-1915).

If Lina was from Suwalki, can share what I know. send me an email belkus@...

Hi,
I have Rothenburgs in my tree.  Originally from Lithuania or Poland, settling in Cleveland.  I don't have much on them, but there is a direct line.  
Do let me know if we can help each other.

I have Rothenberg/ Rottenberg on my immediate tree; from Galicia, towns, villages both west and slightly north of Lemberg, now Lviv, Ukraine. Your Lina is intriguing; my gr gr grandmother was Liebe, so naming patterns in place. They came to NYC in first decade 20th C.

I have Rothenbergs from Sambor. If you have a town name that will help.

Hank, as Tanya Roland has mentioned, a location will improve your chances of assistance.

I would add tracing your / your grandmother's ancestry by relying on an unverified tree of a stranger online is not how you should go about it.

Post as many details about your grandmother and family as you know. There are so many talented and clever members here who will jump in to assist you.

I have long theorized that anyone with any variation of the name Rothenberg is likely descended from the 13th Century German Rabbi Meir of Rothenburg (1215-1293) or one of his disciples. See my letter to Avotaynu (Spring 2004), or contact me privately and I'll send a digital copy to anyone who's interested..

My grandchildren are direct descendants of Rabbi Yitzchak Meir Rotenberg/Alter, the first Gerer Rebbe. I have documented my grandchildren’s lineage and I would be interested in seeing your work from Rabbi Meir of Rothenburg to him, the Chiddushei HaRim. Thank you.

I have Rothenberger family in Alsace that can be definitively traced back to Rabbi Todros Rothenberger in Bouxwiller (born 1596) and thanks to the work of the late Pascal Faustini very likely to Rabbi Meir of Rothenberg. He would be my ca. 20th ggrandfather.

I have a Rotenberg/Rottenberg/Rosenberg great-grandmother (the official documentation that I have uses all three versions) that came from Zohatin, Galicia and moved to Budapest in the mid to late 1800s.  What are the chances that the name was just picked at random (perhaps because of one of these famous Rothenberg Rabbis) when Austrian Jews were forced to acquire surnames?

Joe,
If your family was named Rothenberger and came from Alsace, it's almost certain that they're descended from R. Meir of Rothenburg.

Good luck!
