The Kulp family, a Genealogy, by Jacques V. Sichel. Union (New-Jersey), 1965. English and a little German.
More than 200 genealogical tables (mimeographed typescript), documenting the genealogy of the Kulp family, one of the largest and oldest families of the Jewish community of Frankfurt, since the 17th century until after World War II. At the end of the book, a large photograph of the family members (from 1891, with a numbered chart and a key of the names of the photographed), and an appendix: dozens of genealogical tables of old Jewish families from Frankfurt.
According to the author's introduction, the book was left in a format of separate leaves in order to enable the addition of new materials that will be found in the future; indeed, in this copy includes dozens of corrections, additions and even complete handwritten plates, alongside newspaper clippings and letters by the author's relatives (presumably, this copy remained with the author himself, who continued to update and revise it).
Numbered 13/90.
225 + [143] leaves, printed, typewritten and handwritten. 28.5 cm. Good condition. Filing holes. Tears and minor blemishes (mainly to margins). Filed in a binder.
