No occupation or exact vital dates survive in the current record; the year 1847 is the recorded circa-birth. He married [[Maria Wilheim]] (recorded in Hungarian civil documents as Maria Withiem), and the couple raised a large family in the Nitra region and, in the next generation, in Budapest. Ten children are attached to the marriage: [[Zsigmond Salamon Edinger (b.1876)]], [[Balazs Edinger (b.1879)]], [[Paula Edinger (b.1880)]], [[Friderika Edinger (b.1886)]], [[Serena Edinger]] (married Deutsch), [[Karlota Edinger]], [[Sarolta Edinger]] (married Steiner), [[Bertha Edinger]], [[Elisabeth Ernestina Edinger]], and [[Franz Edinger]]. A documentary trace of the family reaches into the interwar period through the eldest son. A 1924 Hungarian civil marriage record shows Salamon Edinger — born 15 March 1876, named as the son of József Edinger and Maria Withiem — marrying Janka Neumann (born 4 April 1886 in Budapest, daughter of Mark Neumann and Etelka Honig) on 9 November 1924 in Budapest; the witnesses included the groom's brother Balazs Edinger, alongside Lajos Korsith and Armin Neumann. That the son had settled and married in Budapest reflects the broader movement of Hungarian Jewish families from provincial towns like Nitra toward the capital in the later nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. József Edinger enters this tree as an in-law, married into the Bernstein line through his wife's family. His own death is not documented in the current record. ## Research *(your reasoning — preserved across every rebuild)* - Birth ~1847, [[Nitra]]; parents Salamon Edinger and Sidonia Kaiser; spouse Maria Wilheim (var. **Withiem**, **Wilheim**).
