Amy: I fully agree with Sharon. Many times it depended on who provided the information and if it came from a neighbor who really did not know the family well she might have said something like "I think" and the census taker took it to be totally accurate. The other issue might have been "language" . If the neighbor did not speak English well the census taker might have had a problem understanding what was said and rather than asking again just wrote what he thought he heard. Does the information on the third child might be what you otherwise know to probably be fact? Good luck Ina Getzoff Delray Beach, Florida

Re: Hebrew name variants
#names
Dubin, David M. MD
Hi Schmerel is more likely to be Shmaryahu. No good American cognate. But nothing is certain. I have an ancestor Shlomo which corresponds in the Bible to Solomon, but his civil records called him Samuel, probably because his older brother Sholom (a name which also had no good secular cognate) had already gotten the name Salomon. Go figure. Sam was a very common name for Jews to assume, even if their given name was nothing like Sam.

I have definitely found census records in which a child's gender was wrong. It happened.

Sent: Saturday, June 19, 2021 4:38 PM To: main@... Subject: [JewishGen.org] Perplexing Mystery #records #usa Hi Everyone, Hoping someone can help solve a small mystery that might chip away at a brick wall. I found census records for my great-grandfather and his family, years 1910, 1930, and 1940. Both Ancestry and FamilySearch kept generating a strange 1920 census that listed a very similar family, with the exception of 2 of the children. I ignored this for some time, but began to suspect it was the same family. On the 1920 census, the name of the father, my great-grandfather, is correct. His wife's name, my great-grandmother, is slightly incorrect but still plausible. (Maybe a misspelling or mistranslation.) Two of the children's names are mostly correct. But the 3rd child listed is a mystery name I don't recognize. And the oldest child is listed as a daughter, when he should be a son. All other data (birth years, immigration years, etc) are correct. Would the census taker have made such glaring mistakes? Or are these too many mistakes for me to assume this is my great-grandfather and his family? I can provide the census if anyone would like to see it. Thanks in advance!! -- Amy Mitchell

Sometimes a neighbor gives the information if the family is not there…if the daughter had short hair, she could have been mistaken for a little boy; remember the time period…

Occupation is notions. It looks like the haircolor says 'bold' but could possibly be 'black', with the final K going below the line.

Re: Looking for info on great-grandmother's brothers - Resnick
#usa
Robin
I had found her obituary and it only mentions one of her sisters (Esther Simon). I'm guessing Eva had passed away before she did. As for ancestry, I'm going to need to pay for a month so that I can have access to family trees. It shows that my great-grandmother is on a couple different trees, so hopefully I'll find more info that way.
Thank you again! Robin Stein

Looking for three Canadian Wynne brothers (originally Winograd/Winogradski)
#canada
Robin
My great-grandmother Libby (Elizabeth/Liba) Winograd/Winogradski (married name Wilensky) had three brothers. I've searched Jewish gen and ancestry, but cannot find any information on her brothers (other than their names and the country they immigrated to). I know that they immigrated to Canada (no idea what province or city) from Russia (or possibly Poland?) at some point and changed their last names Wynne. The brothers' first names (as listed on my great-grandmother's obituary) are Sol, Sam, and Archie. Their father is listed as Reb Moshe HaKohen on my great-grandmother's gravestone. Their mother's name is listed as Chia (I think it's just an odd spelling of Chaya though) on a family tree that I found. I tried searching using my great-grandmother's sisters' names as well, but didn't find anything. Their names are Bessie Levine (from New Jersey) and Anna Applebaum (from Cleveland). If you have any ideas of somewhere else for me to search, or if we maybe happen to be related (!!), please let me know.
Thank you, Robin Stein Cleveland, OH
