?born 1618 does not seem to be correct - source? - Residence 1632: expelled from Fürth, Germany, settling in Sušice (Schüttenhofen) okres Klatovy, Bohemia, Czech

Note: see History of the Fürth family Adobe document .. The name Fürth was first mentioned in the archives of Bohemia in 1616. A document dating from the beginning of the 18th Century reveals that one Smüel Fürth and his wife Gürtel lived in 1630. Lazar Fürth and his wife Anna were living there in 1690. In 1696 Samuel Fürth and his wife Jettla and Isak and Hennele Fürth lived there..

1783 census has only one Fürth living in Sušice, Daniel Fürth, a "Schnittenwahren- und Tabakhändler" (a trader in wood carved products and tobacco)..

1793 census has Dawid Fürth, Lazar Fürth living in Sušice, as well as Daniel Fürth (abt 1742 -), Samuel Fürth (abt 1748 -), Markus Fürth (abt 1758 -) & Sara Kohn ( m. 1791 - ) marriage witnesses Daniel and Dawid Fürth - who might be brothers of Dawid and Lazar or 1st cousins?

I have written an article in Avotaunu no 4 2011 abort the link between Schmule aka Samuel Fürth and Dawid Fürth of Susice aka David Selk in the 1783 census. Thomas Fürth

Between 1516-1622 Samuel Fürth was expelled from Fürth, Bavaria, Germany. He then settled in Sušice (Schuttenhofen), Plzeň, Czech Republic. (Fürth is a town near to Nuremberg, Germany.) The expulsion of Jews was regulated by the Matriculation Laws, which required that, when the Jewish population of a town exceeded a specified level, those surplus to requirement had to leave.

The name FURTH was first mentioned in the archives of Bohemia in 1616. A document dating from the beginning of the 18th century reveals that one Smuel Furth and his wife Gurtel lived in 1630.

www.jewishgen.org/Yizkor/bohemia/boh587.html: The History of the Jews in the Royal Town of Sušice (Sušice, Czech Republic) The local Jews were mostly merchants. They bought their supplies in Bavaria. This is illustrated by a complaint from Karel Wolf, an alderman from Passau, who sued Samuel Fürth on 16 June 1638 for a debt of 188 guilders and 13 crowns for goods supplied. The guarantors were Samuel Šťastný and Löbl. However, Fürth had paid for the goods, and already had a receipt for payment on 23 September 1638.
