Notes
Died 24 Cheschwan 5561 (1800). [read from the engraved Stammbaum (AR 11074) by vision model; not yet verified against the original]
AR 5248 states that Loeb moved from Heidelberg to Hoffenheim, which conflicts with the birthplace of Gemmingen recorded here. Unresolved.
DATA CONFLICT, unresolved: this archive records Rabbi Zacharias Oppenheimer (b. 1715) as his father, but a birth year of 1720 makes that impossible. Either a birth year or the parent link is wrong; the edge has been left in place rather than guessed at.
