Julius Blach's parents were Kalman Blach [1793-1862)from Theirenbach, Germany and Rebecca Kaufman from Eichtersheim who were married in 1820.

The Blach family (and department store in Birmingham, Alabama) is the subject of a new book which will be published in July-August 2013. If you are a family member, Harold Blach, Jr. would share a copy with you if you write him at hblach@me.com.
