Israel P #520136 Sandy, I would be really really surprised if this were the case, but it is not out of the question for it to have happened >from time to time. The Eastern European Jews for whom this was an issue didn't really care much about the civil documentation unless they were planning to travel - in the physical world.

They may have been married in the Jewish tradition but because of the requirements of the land or the army did not have it recorded. To put the name on the gravestone could create problems for the deceased persons family.. Sandy Roth Monsey, NY
