General Notes: Husband - Jozua (Jozsef Konti) Cohn

---

Operetta conductor and composer. He was married to his niece, Jozia ( Josephine) Cohn, daughter of his brotehr Izydor Cohn. After studyin g music in Warsaw and Vienna, he lived briefly in Salzburg, and then m oved to Hungary. He had a successful career as a conductor and compos er of operettas and musical comedies in Budapest.

On the birth record of Odon Kohn, it states: "Fatehr b. Warsaw, Mothe r b. Lemberg; changed surname to Konti on February 18, 1896." So pres umably all three members of the family changed their surname to Kont i at this time. However, Jozua had been using the name "Jozef Konti " as his stage name for many years prior to this.
