Research Notes

I have included all alternative spellings of Sarah's maiden and married names. Spelling of Prushnitz in Polish and Hebrew: PRZASNYSZ פרושניץ Wohl-56 19:41, 2 November 2022 (UTC)

It looks like Sarah's maiden name may have indeed been Kleinstein based on majority rule.^[2] I do not plan to change it until the sources have been thoroughly examined. Wohl-56 19:41, 2 November 2022 (UTC)
