There is also a Siegmund Lowenthal but this is unrelated. As are the Lowenthal family in London who are grocery merchants and whose traces bring us right into the twentieth century.I think we have established that the link between the Lowenthals and the Oppenheims was not due to marriage but simply business that dissolved early in Siegmund Oppenheim's illustrous career.
Unfortunately (although all of this may prove useful to a Lowenthal descendant), I'm afraid I'm still at a brick wall of finding the roots of Siegmund and Eugen Oppenheim prior their arrival in England.
Many thanks everyone.Kirsten Beach
