I think that is 1981!
to my best knowledge Eduard Lasker was born in KEMPEN, not in Berlin … Kempen is polish nowadays …
(i was wrong in a former posting! making Kempen to Kemp”t”en … sorry!)
errare humanum est … ^^
Another item that is quite good but simply not verifiable. Mistakes can be made and simply doesn’t prove anything. It’s just another source stating they were cousins without any “tree” or analysis.
Thanks for sharing it with us. A little too hard to read though, since we can’t enlarge the scan. Susan will have to adjust the settings.
Having read the other posts here on this subject, I realise that there is really little point in me posting this link. I will always be told it proves nothing. However 3 references is better than none at all so here goes.

It’s very good Ken tait some good reading there thanks for that …hoddy
You proved your own statement; it literally doesn’t prove anything. You are providing secondary sources with not an ounce of primary verifiable sources.
In the previous mention, we already established Edward and Emanuel were not cousins but very distant. How distant?
Still, thanks for the link but it’s just another website that doesn’t provide anything.
Which is better: offering 3 sources without verification or one source with verification? The burden of proof is still on you to provide an accuarte account for your argument.
Providing links and secondary sources without original primary evidence is nonsensical.
I think what anon is trying to say, is that the original comment made by newportnexus regarding Edward and Emanuel as cousins was incorrect but at the same time, agreeing that they were distantly related.
Cousins they might not have been but they were related very distantly. How one can prove this is one needs the necessary references other than links and chess magazines. If there are letters and this so called “Lasker family tree” to verify “cousinship” than there you’ll have it; cousins they are!! But until then, distantly related and not cousins is what we can agree for their relationship.
