This project provides a basis for researching a number of prominent Jewish families from Vienna. Georg Gaugusch's book Wer einmal War (Vol. I: A-K published in 2011; Vol. II: L-R published in 2016) is the first comprehensive, published genealogy for many of these families. The goal of this project page is to make the Geni tree as complete as possible using information from Gaugusch's Vol. I and Vol. II as well as other sources, such as Vienna IKG vital records, Vienna Jewish cemetery data, Peter Rohel's RootsWeb site and Felix Gundacker's GenTeam site (which includes a complete index of all the names in Gaugusch's book and their page numbers in 2011's Vol. I).

Below is a list of families from Gaugusch's Wer einmal War, with links to the Geni tree. Although nearly all of the basic profiles are now on Geni, much of the data in the book have not yet been entered. Those interested in any of the families may wish to purchase the book (it's on Amazon), since it also provides addresses and professions, causes of death, and dates and witnesses of marriage or baptism, as well as much useful biographical information.

An interesting review article on Wer einmal War, entitled "In Search of Vienna's Vanished Jewish Elite," appeared in the British magazine Standpoint in March 2012. The online magazine Jewish Ideas Daily in January 2012 also published a thoughtful review article about George Gaugusch's accomplishment with WEW.

A series of business directories for Vienna covering 1859-1942 appears online at the Digital Wienbibliothek. Entitled Adolph Lehmann's allgemeiner Wohnungs-Anzeiger, the directories also include lists of city residents by Name.
