Waller Family Collection

The Waller Family Collection contains Lew Franciszek de WR Chodkiewicz Chudzikiewicz's genealogical research on the Waller and Baer families, including many branches of these and related families and their descendants. Most of the collection is composed of Lew Franciszek de WR Chodkiewicz Chudzikiewicz's genealogical correspondence with archives, his notes and family trees and photocopies of historical documents of family members, especially copies of birth, death and marriage records. Some correspondence with family members during the course of the research is also present, as are photographs of gravestones and family members. The collection's arrangement is based upon the original organization observed in the collection.

Series I consists of the genealogical research of the Waller family of Großkrotzenburg, Germany and family branches that descended from it, including the Mannheimer, Blum, Reinhard and Albrecht families. This series includes information on the Großkrotzenburg Jewish cemetery. Series II relates to the Baer family of Poland and Saxony and its descendants. The final series holds research on other branches of the family, most of whom are more distantly related to the Waller family of Series I.

In addition to the Waller and Baer families, families most prominently featured here include the Albrecht, Bleichröder, Hirsch, Mannheimer, Meyerbeer, Beer, Richter and Rosenthal families.
