Can anyone confirm if Sydney Bruner is the same person as Szaia Sandel? Do you know his Hebrew/Yiddish name before he immigrated? I strongly believe these are the same person. The birth of Szaia Sandel to Abram Jakow Bryner and Itla Fersztenfeld was recorded in Bedzin in the 1899 volume, although the actual birth year is listed as 1896. He was possibly a twin to brother Moszek Aron, born in the same year.
