Aloïs Hitler

  Algemene notities:

Geadopteerd door de tweede echtgenoot van zijn moeder Jean George Hiedler ( wordt vervolgens Hitler).

Hitler's father, Alois Hitler, was an illegitimate child of Maria Anna Schicklgruber, so his paternity was not listed on his birth certificate; he bore his mother's surname.[6][7] In 1842, Johann Georg Hiedler married Maria and in 1876 Alois testified before a notary and three witnesses that Johann was his father.[8] At age 39, Alois took the surname Hitler. This surname was variously spelled Hiedler, Hüttler, Huettler and Hitler, and was probably regularized to Hitler by a clerk. The origin of the name is either "one who lives in a hut" (Standard German Hütte), "shepherd" (Standard German hüten "to guard", English heed), or is from the Slavic word Hidlar and Hidlarcek.

Despite this testimony, Alois' paternity has been the subject of controversy. After receiving a "blackmail letter" from Hitler's nephew William Patrick Hitler threatening to reveal embarrassing information about Hitler's family tree, Nazi Party lawyer Hans Frank investigated, and, in his memoirs, claimed to have uncovered letters revealing that Alois' mother, Maria Schicklgruber, was employed as a housekeeper for a Jewish family in Graz and that the family's 19-year-old son, Leopold Frankenberger, fathered Alois.[7] No evidence has ever been produced to support Frank's claim, and Frank himself said Hitler's full Aryan blood was obvious.[9] Frank's claims were widely believed in the 1950s, but by the 1990s, were generally doubted by historians.[10][11] Ian Kershaw dismisses the Frankenberger story as a "smear" by Hitler's enemies, noting that all Jews had been expelled from Graz in the 15th century and were not allowed to return until well after Alois was born.[11]

Aloïs trouwde met Anna Glaslhoerer in 1873. (Anna Glaslhoerer werd geboren omstreeks 1860 in Strones, Austria.)

Aloïs trouwde vervolgens met Francisca Matzelsberger op 22 Mei 1883. (Francisca Matzelsberger werd geboren in 1861 in Strones, Austria en overleed in 1884.)

Aloïs trouwde vervolgens met Klara Poelzl, dochter van Johann Baptiste Poelzl en Johanna Huettler, op 7 Jan 1885 in Braunau Am Inn, Austria. (Klara Poelzl werd geboren op 12 Aug 1860 in Spital, Austria en overleed op 21 Dec 1908 in Leonding, Near Linz, Austria.)
