Visiting Augsburg - part 1

When I did my research, one part of my family that was a complete mystery to me was that of my great-grandmother, Florence Schwaber (1917-2007). I learned quite quickly that all four of her grandparents were born in Germany. Her father’s parents being from Saxony and her mother’s from Bavaria. Her maternal grandfather , Abraham Hirsch was born in 1870 to parents Sigmund (Tzvi) Hirsch and Ida (Chaya) Tabor-Wertheimer. His family had a long and notable history in Augsburg, being traceable back to the 1750s.
