Notable persons from Suwalki[edit]
Do you have a reference for Samuel Rosenthal (1837 - 1902), Jewish chess master and journalist? Ajh1492 (talk) 21:25, 5 July 2011 (UTC)
See for example the JE reference in the main article about Samuel Rosenthal. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.191.194.239 (talk) 22:39, 5 July 2011 (UTC)

Afrikan Spir's descent[edit]
I doubt that Afrikan Spir was of German descent as the current version states. In the Internet, I didn't find any information about the roots of his father. Where was Alexander Spir born? Who were his parents? Judging from the surname "Spir", this family possibly originated in the Jewish community of Metz (France, Lorraine). But that is only a hypothesis. It would be fine to have more information about Spir's paternal ancestry.

My answer: Absolutely no relations with Metz, or Spire, or Jews. The christian name of the father of Alexander Spir was also Alexander, lutheran, born in Stuttgart. See the family papers in Geneva's Library, cf. Fabrizio Frigerio, Catalogue raisonné du fonds African Spir, Genève, 1990.--RigdzinPhurba (talk) 15:02, 3 February 2014 (UTC)
