Sub-clan W2 — matriarchal anchor: Anna Porges née Resek
(b. ca. 1831-1832, d. Příbram Friday 19 April 1912 at 5 p.m., in her 81st year
of life, after "a pious, God-pleasing life-conduct").
Funeral on Sunday 21 April 1912 at 3 p.m. at the local Israelite Cemetery
in Příbram. (Day-of-week check: 19 April 1912 = Friday ✓; 21 April 1912 = Sunday ✓.)
Anna is one of the earliest-born documented Porges-married women
in the corpus, b. 1831-1832 — contemporary with Anna Porges née Kadisch
(b. 1831, see Philipp Porges 1856-1925)
and Sara Porges née Bondy (b. ca. 1832, see
Other Prague Porges branches).
Příbram — major silver-mining town with substantial Jewish community
Příbram (German: Pibrans), ~60 km southwest of Prague, was one of the most
important Bohemian silver-mining centres from the medieval period onward.
By 1912 it had a substantial Jewish community with synagogue and cemetery
(both still partially preserved). This makes Sub-clan W2 the second documented
P�íbram Porges sub-clan after Sub-clan R (Babette Porges née Abeles,
†22 January 1931, Příbram, age 86) and the third after
Sub-clan BJ
(Marie Porges of Příbram, †26 November 1913).
Porges-Porges cousin marriage explicitly documented
The most genealogically significant detail of this faire-part is
Toške Porges née Porges — Anna's daughter-in-law who was born a Porges
AND married a Porges. This is a textbook Porges-Porges cousin marriage,
explicitly documented. "Toške" is a Czech-Bohemian diminutive of Theresia /
Tereza, consistent with the Příbram rural-Bohemian identity.
Family
Husband: a Mr. Porges, predeceased before 1912 (identity unstated).
Children (alive 1912):
• Malvine London née Porges — married Arnold London
• Adolf Porges
• Josef Porges
• Emma Helming née Porges — married Louis Helming
• Richard Porges
Daughters-in-law and sons-in-law:
Milli Porges née Bondy, Toške Porges née Porges (the cousin marriage),
Arnold London, Louis Helming.
Brothers (Resek family): Heinrich Resek, Emanuel Resek (alive 1912).
Bondy connection — cross-corpus implication
Anna's daughter-in-law Milli Porges née Bondy echoes the Bondy
maiden surname documented in
Sub-clan B (Amalia Porges née
Bondy, †August 1912 Prague, wife of Sigmund Porges). Both Bondy-Porges
marriages are dated within months of each other in 1912, suggesting a
structurally significant Bondy in-law family maintaining multiple Porges
marriages — Amalia and Milli could be sisters, first cousins, or aunt-niece.
Holocaust trajectory
Anna's children (b. ca. 1860-1880) were likely deceased of natural causes by
1938; her grandchildren (b. ca. 1885-1910) were the prime deportation cohort.
P�íbram-resident Porges descendants — Adolf, Josef, Richard, and the
London/Helming families — are top-priority research targets.
