My paternal great grandparents , Adolf Kohn (b. 01-07-1846, d.10-04-1911 in Ratibor, Poland) and Selma Goldstein (b. 03-13-1885 in Ratibor, d. 07-18-1905 in Kudowa, Poland) had four sons:
Georg Cohn, my grandfather, (b. 08-20-1876 in Ratibor, d. 01-02-1943 in Campana, Buenos Aires Province, Argentina),
Paul Cohn (b. 05-29-1878 in Ratibor, d. 12-30-1927 in Zurich),
Wilhelm Richard Cohn (b. 02-11-1882, d. ?) and
Leo Cohn (b. 06-28-1875, d. ? in England, presumably London)
and one daughter, Rosa Cohn (b. 12-17-1887 in Ratibor, d. ?)
In 1923, the sons all changed their name to Curth though Georg was in Argentina by way of England, Paul and Wilhelm in ? and Leo in England.
Rosa married Karl Danzinger (b. 07-25-1873) in Ratibor 02-14-1909 and disappeared from the family history.
Leo and Wilhelm are lost beyond the following:
Leo married Martha Grapenthin (b. 08-15-1872 in England) on 06-28-1897 in London(?) and Elisabeth Van Endert (b. 12-31-1876 in Neuss, Germany, d. 02-27-1956) Leo and Elizabeth had Harry and Marga, both of whom died shortly after birth in 1903 and 1904, respectively. Leo is thought to have been in the employ of Odeon, a german recording company. Elizabeth was an opera soprano who "ended up with" William Furtwaengler, a composer of some distinction in Germany.
Wilhelm married Fedora Misch (b. 11-20-1884) in Berlin 04-01-1909.
Any information you may have on any of the above would be a great help. Thanks.

Posted in the Nevada Appeal (nevadaappeal.com) 3 - 5 - 2005 the following article in the Past Pages column:
As written - my notes in ( )
100 years ago
Morris Cohn, former Carsonite (Carson City, Nv.) and resident of Nevada for 76 years, dies in Oakland (Ca.) Hospital. He was a native of Prussia and came to the United States when he was 14 years old and to Nevada in 1868. For many years he conducted a dry goods store in Carson. He engaged in mining ventures at times and once held extensive ranching interests in Carson Valley, where he established the first creamery and was also active getting alfalfa growing started in the valley. Surviving relatives are daughters Miss Felice Cohn and Mrs. Isle Bair of Carson City.
I have NO more information.
