Georg Edinger - Georg??

Hi Zachary,

"Georg" comes from the Mainz family register for the Edinger family, here: https://search.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/sse.dll?indiv=1&dbid=8958&a...

Since Ancestry does not display an original record for this source, it's entirely possible that "Georg" is a misreading of the original handwritten record.

Another record, the birth certificate of [Georg] and Eva's son Moises, lists his parents' names as Herz and Eva. https://search.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/sse.dll?indiv=1&dbid=7467&a....

Sali's wedding certificate also seems to list his father as Herz: https://search.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/sse.dll?indiv=1&dbid=4881&a...

Ancestry thinks the father's name on David Edinger's birth certificate is "Heinz," although it looks to me like "Herz" again. https://search.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/sse.dll?indiv=1&dbid=7508&a...

It's not uncommon for German Jews to have both a German name (Heinrich) and a Jewish / Hebrew name (Herz). It's also not uncommon for Ancestry to have transcription errors.

Feel free to make the change to Geni. If you need any assistance, let me know.

Thanks.
Heinz or Heinrich is the German name I would expect.
Hertz makes sense as well as a Yiddish name. Naftali was the Hebrew name (this i know from Wilhelm's ketubah) Naftali is often traditionally paired with Hertz as the Bible compares Naftali to a deer.
