Isidor Brenson (Isidorus Brennsohn) & Klara Herzenberg

Nina’s great-grandparents

Isidor Brenson (1854-1928), an orthopedic doctor, had a private practice in Riga. He compiled and published three volumes of a biographical dictionary of the doctors of Courland, Livland (regions of Latvia), and Estland (Estonia). Klara Hertzenberg (1859-1939) was his wife. His memoir, written in German, is being translated into Latvian for Riga’s Museum of the History of Medicine.
