“Ordinance” issued by the Austrian Government [Present-day Austria, Czech Republic; House of Habsburg-Lorraine]: “[…] A second-born Jew, who comes in (to apply) for the preservation/continuation of a family*, must at all times [be able to] provide proper evidence that he is indeed a second-born, because merely the claim of the applicant cannot be taken into consideration.” [Researcher’s note: *Most localities had a pre-determined “number of spots” called “Familienstellen” which could be assigned to Jews. This number could not be surpassed. When Jews (sons) wanted to get married, they were required to apply for their own ‘spot.’ Often, the spot was granted to the first born after his father’s death while second or third-born sons had to either apply and be granted their own spot or leave the country.]
