The Wolfsthal Family of Musicians: A Genealogical Case Study
Keywords:
Galicia, genealogy, musicology, WolfsthalAbstract
This paper describes an ongoing extensive study focused on the Wolfsthal family of musicians. The family left its mark on the European history of music for several generations, in multiple locations and disciplines. While there exists prior research about this musician family, the current research is based on previously unseen documents and testimonies that were unravelled during several years of investigations in public and private archives, cemeteries, digital libraries and interviews of surviving family members.
