“Ministerial Edict” issued by the Bavarian Government [Present-day Germany; Kingdom of Bavaria]: “[…] The Jews are not permitted to change their last names arbitrarily which they have chosen at one point and entered in public registry/directory (‘Matrikel’). […]” [Researcher’s note: A “Matrikel” was an ancestor book/roll that was used in certain areas of Germany/Austria. It was basically a public register/directory of residence. It’s derived from the Latin word “marticula” (list; scroll).]
