They would have six children survive to adulthood: Leo (to marry Fanny Loeb of NY), Gustav, Rosa (to marry Leopold Rothschild 1900), Hugo (to marry Bertel, one daughter, Ann [Hartwich], Ernestine (to marry Solomon Lehmann 1900, one son, Herbert), Ernst.](https://photos.smugmug.com/PHOTO-ARCHIVES/ArchivesPre-1940/Archive-Rothschild-Family/i-SznSBF2/0/c0357a53/L/Augusta-L.jpg)

There were, apparently, more "Rothschilds" in Hoerstein than just Joseph and his clan. For instance, we read in an article in the newspaper, "The Israelite," of 3 Juli 1924: "Hörstein bei Aschaffenburg, 1. Juli (1924): Das Ehepaar David Oppenheimer und Frau Esther geborene Rothschild feierten am Samstag, den 21. Juni, in körperlicher und geistiger Frische im Kreise ihrer Kinder und Enkel das Fest der Goldenen Hochzeit." [the married couple, David Oppenheimer and Mrs. Esther nee Rothschild, celebrate on Saturday, the 21 of June, in the physical and spiritual company of their children and grandchildern, their Golden Wedding Anniversary].<br />
<br />
Based on another article in the same paper, Esther celebrated her 80th birthday in 1933, meaning she was born in 1853, perhaps a younger sister of Joseph. More research is required. Yad Vashem lists yet an other "Joseph/Josef" Rothschild born in 1891.](https://photos.smugmug.com/PHOTO-ARCHIVES/ArchivesPre-1940/Archive-Rothschild-Family/i-T8QwZ49/0/27f0bcf3/Ti/GreatGrandpa-Ti.jpg)

![RS009 | [First Stage of Restoration] Ernestine & Solomon had one child, Herbert Lehmann, who married Thea Schiff (they had no children). Ernestine died in NYC just months shy of her 100th birthday; Herbert died in the 1990s. Rosa & Leopold had one child, Selma (16 Aug 1900- Dec 1982), who married Hugo Chaim Adler (1893-1955), and gave birth to Hans Samuel (b.1928) & Marianne (b.1930)](https://photos.smugmug.com/PHOTO-ARCHIVES/ArchivesPre-1940/Archive-Rothschild-Family/i-TffR8WV/0/22f88447/Ti/UrOmaOpa1-Ti.jpg)
![RS010 | (r) Augusta (Marx) Sohn (b.4 April 1854; d. 25 Jan 1920), mother of Rosa (Sohn) Rothschild, grandmother of Selma (Rothschild) Adler. Her son, Leo Sohn, went to New York around the turn of the century where he married Fanny Loeb. Pictured next to Augusta are Fanny's father and her sister, Mimmy Loeb (no descendants), who were visiting Germany. Back of photo in Selma's handwriting, "Meine Mannh. Grossmutter, Tante Fanny 's father and sister Mimmy." Photo attributed to "Ateller A. Saal, Nr. 177 Fernsprecher, Bad Wildungen 1911." Ironically, Bad Wildungen was a resort quite close to Hoeringsburg, which was where the Adler family settled in 1793 [cf. Adler Archive].](https://photos.smugmug.com/PHOTO-ARCHIVES/ArchivesPre-1940/Archive-Rothschild-Family/i-FmSqpVZ/0/775c52e8/Ti/AugustaSohn16flt-Ti.jpg)
