Dear Private User

Please look at Betty / Bela Jesaias Meyer (let's call her "BB5860") and Betty / Bela Jesaias Meyer (let's call her "BB3304") .

Do we have a merge candidate, or some very close coincidences?

Much of the data for both is sourced from [https://www.online-ofb.de/juden_nw/?lang=de Familiendatenbank Juden im Deutschen Reich (FJIDR)]. The specific profiles there are [https://www.online-ofb.de/famreport.php?ofb=juden_nw&ID=I10767&... Bela Betty Jesaias MEYER] ... i.e., BB5860 and [https://www.online-ofb.de/famreport.php?ofb=juden_nw&ID=I14518&... Betty Bela J. MEYER] ... i.e., BB304.

Could they be the same person? In Geni, the profile for BB5860 has a death date of 1829, which would make the birth of the son of BB304 - Ahron Koppel impossible. Let's ignore for the moment that would make Jacob / Koppel Joseph the same man as Jacob / Koppel Joseph . I have had nothing but trouble with that gentleman's names and wives since I started working with my family from Norden. :)

However, the FJDR has no death dates for either BB5860 or BB3304. The death date for BB5860 comes originally from me, and my source for that was from research of my cousin Private User. If that date was calculated, or slurped from a questionable source, than they could be the same woman ... perhaps BB5860 died in childbirth of her son. Jacob / Koppel Joseph went on to marry BB5860's sister.

I can't find any evidence to contradict this possibility (so far) ... but that does not make it a fact. What are your thoughts?

Bad form to reply to my own post, but I have a correction ... It was not Jacob / Koppel Joseph who went on to marry BB5860's sister (unless it is concluded that Jacob Koppel is another name for Koppel Joseph ... it was Jacob / Koppel Joseph who went on to marry BB5860's sister, Rebecca Jesaias Meyer.

Jacob and Koppel are the same name. So it could be that Jacob's "surname" or patronymic wasn't Koppel at a time when surnames weren't yet compulsory. In other words, Jacob (or Koppel) may have been the son of Joseph,

I have found another source, from a researcher of Norden and other area families. Ahron is the son of the second wife. Progress on that front!
