Family of Adolf Porges (Vienna, 1843-1897)  
Family tree

This page documents the family of Adolf Porges (b. ca. 1842-1843, † Vienna 25-26 March 1897, age 54), Kaufmann (merchant), and his wife Marie Porges née Hettler. The family is documented through a single faire-part, but the announcement is detailed enough to establish a coherent immediate-family picture. This Adolf Porges is distinct from the Adolf Porges of Slovakia (b. 1843 in Čajla / Pezinok, † 1931) already documented on AdolfPorges1843-1931.html — the two share given name and approximate birth year but lived entirely separate lives.
