Biographical History

Ferdinand Schwarz was a resident of Frankfurt am Main. He applied to work for a company called J. Wolfin in England. It is interesting to note that the recipient of the letters from Germany asking for assistance was Ella Courts. It appears that Max Schwarz, the subject's father, was a friend of the Courts' family (744/1)
