This site started November 19, 2000 This is
the most amazing web site that I have ever seen, and it warms
my heart to know that someone actually did this. My family
thanks you very much. I'm really
impressed by your interesting site. We agree with the idea of
connecting our site to yours. I was able
to log on to the site today and it is wonderful. You have obviously
taken great time and effort to research the family and create
this wonderful history. Thank you. So very
impressive! Thank you a thousand times! […] My mother, Rella
Porges, is celebrating her 90th birthday in Princeton New Jersey
Dec 10. We expect about 50-75 Porges family, decendants of Adolph.
If you might be in the New York area, please come join us. I just
visited the Porges site. It´s a gem, it´s a goldmine! I have
just visited the Porges genealogy site. Very impressive. Thanks
for the link to my website and for your acknowledgement of my
help. All the best. Congratulations
on a magnificent project. Very impressive! I am delighted with the work that you have put together....
I was under the same impression as you, that 'Porges' was a rare
name with little known about it; I was aware of my Jewish heritage
(and also aware of the Portuguese 'connection' theory) but I did
not realise just how far back 'we' all went....unfortunately,
most of my relatives were sent to the Camps during the Second
World War (we lived in Prague then) and my Grandparents were forced
to flee Czechoslovakia and settled in England, where we lived
for over 50 years. I have always been proud of my heritage, unfortunately
I never knew my Grandfather (he died when I was very young) and
my Grandmother has not really helped me in connecting with my
roots. I hope to be soon adding my name and Family Tree to your
website, so that we can stand up and be counted with all the other
Porgeses around the Globe!!! I thank you for your drive and interest
in our name, you have helped me to start creating the links back
to my roots, and for that I cannot thank you enough. My husband's
parents were born in Czechoslovakia and his father was a Porges,
Rudolph Porges. Had I gone
to a museum, I would not have had the powerful experience as visiting
the Porges site you so impressively created on the Internet. Annette

an excellent choice. Annette Porgesz-Grauman It is with sadness that I learned of the recent passing of Madame Porges, nee Aaron, a family from the East of France, traced back as far as 1500, beloved mother of M. Porges, "founding father" of the Porges family web page. Even while Madame Porges was alive, he has dedicated himself to uphold honor rooted in tradition by building a 5 Star site filled with fascinating family history to enrich generations to come. I for one am grateful to be a returning traveler discovering something I missed before or a new addition. It impresses me that by upholding family values M. Porges is observing the letter of the Ten Commandments, "Honor Your Father and Your Mother". What a beautiful way to make one's parents proud and at the same time to serve G-d.
