Geni: https://www.geni.com/people/Hayyim-Oppenheimer/6000000002766041483
Death on 10 Nisan 5569 — 27 March 1809 — is confirmed by the engraved Stammbaum (AR 11074), matching the date already held here.
Came from Hoffenheim to Michelfeld, where he ran a Manufakturwarengeschäft under his own name; his son Zacharias began weaving cloth for it in 1803 (AR 5248, AR 7044).
Death in 1809 independently corroborated, and his daughter Bonette recorded. [Alemannia Judaica, Michelfeld (Angelbachtal) synagogue page]

- Alemannia Judaica — Jüdische Gemeinde Michelfeld (Angelbachtal) — Reference site for Jewish community history in Baden-Württemberg. The Michelfeld page documents the community, the Oppenheimer Wollentuchfabrik, and the families of the village, drawing on the Michelfeld Heimatbuch and Baden community records. It gives the community's peak as 242 people in 1839, about a fifth of the village, falling to 22 by 1910, and records that Michelfeld's Jews were buried at Waibstadt from 1751 (at Oberöwisheim before that) until the community opened its own cemetery in 1868. It is the first source on this branch independent of both Geni and the Leo Baeck Institute.
