Die Waisenkinder von Fürth
shortcut
Hopeful from the Oberküpser Zweig
emerged, this branch was hit early by fatal blows.
Progenitor
Johann Michael Lorber (1842-1891), ältester Sohn des Oberküpser Bauern Pankraz, suchte 1873 sein Glück als Schneidermeister in der Stadt Fürth.
Werdegang
The early death of the parents made it very difficult for the early representatives of this branch to gain a foothold in the years between 1891 and the 1930s. Many had to do more badly than right in the city, and criminal records for theft or assault are also recorded. But they struggled through these difficult times.
