=============================
According to the book ''1867-1967: Hundert Jahre Hohenauer Zuckerfabrik der Brüder Strakosch'' (Jakob Baxa), "Word of this family goes back two and a half centuries, but for the older ancestors only names and dates are known. Thefirst of its sons for whom we have proof of ratification, to tell us about their lives, are Salomon Strakosch (1795-1868) and '''Markus Strakosch''' (b. 1798). The younger son Markus was in March 1822 admitted as ''Schön- und Schwarzfärberzunft'' in "the dyeing guild" based on his "good dyeing record" (p. 9, Baxa). Markus's existence is also recorded in a "testimony" that he made, "for the Archduke Franz's regiment, black and red colored cloth" (October1826).
In ''Friedmann, Gutmann, Lieben, Mandl und Strakosch'', M.-T. Arnbom writes "'''Markus''' is recorded in 1822 in the Schönfarbermeister guild -- an important moment, because the Jews had long struggled to find acceptance in guilds. Now the laws enacted by Emperor Joseph II, granting certain privileges to the Jews, had taken effect. Salomon and Markus have several other brothers, one of whom is [http://www.geni.com/people/Hermann-Strakosch/6000000011163249305 '''Hermann'''] {''this is not confirmed by Bučovice Birth records in Czech Jewish Registries''}. Probably due to the family laws that regulated strictly the number of Jewish families in Moravia, Hermann [lived in] Hungary wherehe worked as a clerk in Sebes. Hermann's son [http://www.geni.com/people/Alexander-Strakosch/6000000008659178376 Alexander] {''born in Hungary, Dec. 3, 1845''} pursued a completely different career: reciter and teacher of actingand of how to read, publishing in various encyclopedias. [http://sammlungen.ub.uni-frankfurt.de/freimann/content/pageview/312777 Alexander] had been educated entirely in the Jewish tradition intended for rabbis." --M.T. Arnbom ''Chapter on Familie Strakosch, p. 107.''
'''Markus''' Strakosch is mentioned in an undergraduate thesis on the history of the Jewish community in Bučovice: " . . . Nathan Rosenthal [writing in 1853] . . . thought the whole idea of a new temple came from Marcus Strakosch, who donated a hundred gold, then conventional currency, for a new sanctuary. Documents show a particular emphasis on the new rabbi's being a spiritual model for the entire Jewish community: "Board of Directors, be careful notto become infatuated with celebrities; choose a man with true piety"."
The thesis also mentions "houses of Jewish families [5 were allowed] located on the square...belonging to other Jewish entrepreneurs such as Rudolf Stiassny (No. 97), Adolf Popper (No. 98), Selig Wltschek (No. 99), Rudolf Strakosch (No. 129), Joseph Strakosch (No. 130), Lazar Stiassny (No. 132), Herrmann Stiassny (No. 139)."
Also mentioned are "the old houses of Lobl Strakosche, Josua Schiller Strakosche Salomon, Abraham Popper, Lobl Friess...." The town was arguing about licensing factories & retail in the Jews' houses under "a commitment to accommodate five Jewish families of court decision of 13 May 1814."

From Hugo Gold's ''Jews and Jewish Communities of Moravia'' (1929),
"The only existing log book [for Bučovice Jewish community] begins 3 January 1847 in which the name of a single mayor and Jewish judge '''Markus S t r a k o s h''' appears. According to a communication of Mr. Ignatz Stiassny, Strakosch was a delegate (elector), representing 530 Jewish souls, sent in 1849 [to] the Kremsierer Reichsrat. After 1849 the Jewish community was built. The community was bound to pay to the municipality for cleaning and lightingof the Jewish Town an annual sum of 105 florins CM" (see page [http://genealogyindexer.org/view/1929GoldMoravia/185/Strakosch 175] (image 185).

On the 19th-century new Jewish synagogue in Bučovice: "According to [Nathan] Rosenthal, in 1853 a new synagogue stood. He also tells us that that building was paid for largely by voluntary contributions from members of the village. The generous patrons praised the Salomon Strakosch factory, school superintendent Marcus Hozeho, some Stiassny -- Lazarus Jr., and Moses -- Josua Kohn, Schuller. Municipal official David Spitzer not only donated a large sum,but also assumed the role of building inspection. The idea of building a new church in the community said to have come first from Marcus Strakosch, who spent his hundred gold (then conventional currency). That decision was bornin ''Strakoschově'' head right around mid-century, perhaps connected with ''rozháranými'' ratios between the municipality and its spiritual shepherd. We know, thanks to historian Hugh Gold, that at this time Bučovice Rabbi Nathan Zorn left after disputes with the Jewish community. Then Slavkov Rabbi Hirsch Duschak worked in the city, temporarily. The Bučovice synagogue was built in the Romanesque style. It was a beautiful and splendid building" [demolished in 1965].
