http://www.operissimo.com/ I have used this site to look up all the singers whose first names were not given in the original sources. So, if a singer is listed with no first name in this chronology, he or she does not have an entry at operissimo.com.

I owe a huge debt of gratitude to Matthias Beutlich of Dresden, who looked through all the Dresden Opera programs from 1924-1929. Thanks to his work, I now have the dates of all of Seinemeyer's performances in Dresden. I also wish to thank Brigitte Euler, archivist of the Dresden Opera, for giving him permission to look through the archive's collection of programs, which is usually inaccessible to visitors, and for all her help during my visit to Dresden. Many thanks also to Brigitte Eckhardt of the Sächsische Landesbibliothek, Dresden, who was extremely helpful in finding microfilms of Dresden newspapers. Many thanks to Charles Mintzer, who provided me with information relating to Seinemeyer’s Berlin performances, from a handwritten journal by Heinz Bernhardt, who attended performances at one of Berlin’s four opera houses almost every night during the 1920s. He has also sent me copies of Charles Jahant’s research notes on Seinemeyer, which provide valuable information on her roles and the places where she sang. Thanks to Russ Hornbeck for providing me with additional information about Seinemeyer’s performances in Berlin. Thanks also to Georg Kasch and Dagmar Walach of the Freie Universität Berlin, to Ulrich Dahmen, and to Peter Sommeregger for sending me copies of programs, to Axel Schröder of the Landesarchiv Berlin for information on Seinemeyer's appearances at the Berlin Staatsoper, to Cesar A. Dillon for information on Seinemeyer's appearances in Buenos Aires, and to Einhard Luther for the dates of Seinemeyer's performances in Zoppot.
