Happy are those who joyfully recall
Their fathers and delight their listener's ear
By telling of their deeds and fame. Their story
Points to the speaker as the latest link
In an illustrious chain.
Goethe, Iphigenia.
I hereby hand over the family tree of the Tuchmann family to everyone who is interested in it. It contains the entire descent of Marx and Marianne Tuchmann, starting with the year 1774. Unfortunately, it was not possible to extend the research to an earlier period, but this can be explained for reasons that emerge from the end notes. In order to give a more precise picture of the individual ancestors, photographs and chronicles are attached. Since hopefully most of the family members will continue and complete the individual branches of the family tree, the book is not bound, but enables the opportunity to attach additional sheets.
Finally, I would like to thank everyone who helped me with words and deeds in collecting the documents, especially my dear sister Lia, who supported and encouraged my work with tireless diligence and interest.
Friedrich Carl Tuchmann.
