About Simon Salomon Kafka

Went by Simon and Solomon, just like his grandson (before the latter became Anton).

See sources tab for Familiant records.

Kafka is not among the surnames of Vodnany Jews mentioned in 1746 (see https://jewishgen.org/yizkor/bohemia/boh699a.html), so he or his son Abraham moved there later than that, perhaps from around Písek and maybe, just maybe a brother of Anshel Kafka?

Allowed to marry in 1770 according to census 1799: http://pvh.ff.cuni.cz/zidi/Prachensko_1799.pdf

Two children according to Jewish census 1783: http://pvh.ff.cuni.cz/zidi/Prachensko_1783.pdf

In the census of 1793, mentioned as Salomon, with his wife being Anna, residing at Vodňany: http://pvh.ff.cuni.cz/zidi/Prachensko_1793.pdf

Mentioned with wife of tax list, see media tab. Something in connection with 1768 and Hradek Desfours.
