I can only find birth data for Siegfried not Alfred. Siegfried with daughter Dr. Caroline Landau and wife Frieda Landau are mentioned in [[6000 's death announcement. [[60 speaks of "Friedl" as her brother. This would fit both Alfred and Siegfried. Caroline's death registry mentions Alfred Landau not Siegfried as her father. There are newspaper articles that Siegfried fled the Vienna due to some troubles with the law and kidnapped the wife of Julius Ellenbogen. It is possible that Kurt / Kirk is the result of an affair of Jenny while she was married and before Siegfried / Alfred was married to Frieda.

Hello Veronika,

I've done quite a bit of work on this family and am certain that Siegfried and Alfred are the same person. He and Jennie came to America with Kurt c.1903 and they married soon after. Jennie died in New York in 1919. At some time in the 1920s Alfred returned to Vienna and he died there. His ashes were returned to New York for burial. See...

Yes, I too wondered about Kurt/Kirk's father.
