The following chart is an attempt (based on known sources) to trace the lineage of Lichtenstadt residents from the patronymic period up to the adoption of surnames. As new information becomes available, this chart will be updated and, hopefully, become increasingly more accurate. Highlighted paternal lines have been traced back to a town before 1724: outside of Lichtenstadt (light blue) and Lichtenstadt itself (light green).

3. Abrahm Aaron (also known as Abraham Oettingen or Abraham Lichtenstadt) adopted the surname Aaron/Aron from from his stepfather Jacob AronJakobovits, Tobias. "Wer ist Abraham Aron Lichtenstadt?" Monatsschrift für Geschichte und Wissenschaft des Judentums. Vol. 74 (1930), Issue 1, pp. 35-41. (online publication).
    Jacob was the son of Lazar Aron of Lichtenstadt. Jahrbücher der Gesellschaft für Geschichte der Juden in der Cechoslovakischen Republik. (1935), Issue VII, p. 41. (online publication). This Lazar was almost certainly "Lößer" in the 1618 census of Lichtenstadt, from which the Bondi family derived their protection status there.
    As for the next generation, the gravestone of Vradel/Fradel Bondi in the Lichtenstadt Jewish cemetery confirms that she was the daughter of Abraham Oettingen (i.e., Abraham Aron).
