On the other hand, the funeral of our man was in the "Neuer Friedhof" (15 June 1921): http://anno.onb.ac.at/cgi-content/a... . And this source distinguishes it from "Zentralfriedhof" mentioned by findagrave (where also New Jewisch Cemetery is mentioned).

There is a marriage in Arad 27 Nov 1877 between Salomon Schwarz age 49 and Bineth Juliana Kürtics (??) age 35.

Then there is marriage in Köln 8 Nov 1889 between Bertha Schwarz age 27 and Julius Theodor Hofmann age 49. Parents of Dorothea being Salomon Schwarz and Eleonore geb. Katzscher.

Hmmm. There is a family tree called <Hamilton Tree Revised on 18th March 2012>. They have this on Salomon:

I am a descendant of Jacques (he was my 2nd great-grandfather) and am pleased about your interest in his bio! I started working on the family tree a while ago and was surprised to see he had a career in chess.

To clear some things up:
- He was born in Arad on 27 Sept 1855 to Salomon Schwarz and Eleonore (b. Katscher) - the info about "Moravia" is wrong, the editor(s) made a mistake there. Also, some sites, including Wikipedia, took the wrong birth date.

- Salomon and Eleonore were married in 1852 in Slavkov u Brna (German "Austerlitz") and around that time they moved to Arad, Hungary/Romania. In 1858, when their third child was born, they moved to Brno and Salomon was hired as Ober Cantor temporarlily. In 1860 the employment became permanent until his death in 1889.

- The memorial on findagrave.com was put up by myself. Jacques' grave is on the Zentralfriedhof in Vienna in the Jewish section. And since there are two Jewish sections (old and new), this one is called the "New Jewish" cemetery/section.

- Jacques died on June 13 and was buried on the 15th. I guess the dates are being used interchangeably.

Hope that helped!
