Roza Bat B/SR Gendler / Hendler

Geni posted a concern about the birth date of Shimshel Dorfan, as it relates to Roza Gendler, nee Dorfan. Roza appears on the above tree as Shimshel's daughter. I seems, however, that Roza was Shimshel's granddaughter.

I believe that Shimshel's birth date of 1805 is roughly correct - it comes from the age listed on his death record (LVIA/1226/1/1037). Reiza (Roza) Dorfan was born in Birzai 20 August,1871 to Bentzel and Sheina-Rokha (Vitman) Dorfan (LVIA/1226/1/399). Bentzel was the son of Shimshel. On 17 July 1901 Reiza married Movsha-Govshei Gendler.

I think this is germane to Geni's concern.

Sincerely,

Jonathan Dorfan
