Provisional sub-clan designation: Redisch Porges – Prague core with documented New York emigrant branch.

This is one of the few Porges sub-clans of this corpus with a primary-source documented transatlantic emigration before 1899: Sofie Redisch's daughter Nelly Beer née Redisch and son-in-law Rudolf Beer are explicitly identified as residing in New York in their mother's 1899 obituary. This emigration branch was therefore spared the Holocaust by virtue of its earlier departure and constitutes the most genealogically continuous descendant line of any Porges sub-clan in this corpus.

Sofie Redisch née Porges (b. ca. 1825/26, d. Prague 08/12/1899 at 12 noon, in her 74th year). Buried at the (then-new) Israelite Cemetery, Strašnice, on 10/12/1899 at 14:00. Husband: Mr. Redisch (predeceased before 1899). The 1899 notice gives her surviving siblings as Markus Porges, Julie Stepper née Porges (married Joachim Stepper), and Eva Grün née Porges.

Hugo Redisch (alive 1899), Prague. Married Anna Redisch née Glogau.

Nelly Beer née Redisch (alive 1899), New York. Married Rudolf Beer, also of New York. This couple's descendants very likely survive in the United States to the present day — searchable through US Census records, NY naturalization, Ellis Island arrival lists.

Adele Strakosch née Redisch (alive 1899). Married Leopold Strakosch. Strakosch is a distinguished Bohemian-Moravian Jewish surname associated with the impresario Maurice Strakosch (1825–1887) and the broader Strakosch banking-cultural dynasty. The connection of this Redisch-Porges branch to the Strakosch family is a high-priority research lead.

Ernestine Ohrenstein née Redisch (alive 1899). Married Emanuel Ohrenstein.

August Redisch (alive 1899), Prague. Married Helene Redisch née Feigl.

Porges siblings of Sofie Redisch (alive in 1899):

Markus Porges. His own obituary (post-1899) is a top research priority — would clarify the Porges parental generation of this sub-clan.

Julie Stepper née Porges. Married Joachim Stepper, the only sibling-in-law named (suggesting Stepper alone was alive among the husbands).

Eva Grün née Porges. Husband not named (Mr. Grün predeceased before 1899).

Notes

The 1899 obituary's chronology — Sofie b. ca. 1825/26 — places this Porges sibship between the Napoleonic generation (the Sara Marie Oesterreicher 1887 / Sarah Teweles 1891 cohort, b. 1813–15) and the Klatovy cohort (Sofie Mendl 1914, b. 1846/47). A possible reconstruction is that Sofie's father Porges was a sibling or contemporary of the Teweles 1891 cohort's parental generation, but this remains hypothetical.

The phrase « ihres rastlos thätigen, dem Wohle ihrer Familie gewidmeten Lebens » (« of her tirelessly active life devoted to the welfare of her family ») is the earliest attested occurrence in this corpus of the « family-welfare maternal virtue » obituary formula, established by 1899.

Holocaust trajectory: The Prague-resident descendants (Hugo, August, Adele, Ernestine and their children) face the standard high Holocaust risk profile of the Prague Jewish bourgeoisie in 1938–1945. However, the Beer–Redisch branch in New York is, statistically, the most likely descendant line in this corpus to have surviving members today, making this entry particularly important for any contemporary outreach or family-history connections with American Porges descendants.
