Abe always said his birthdate was 21 January, one day before that of Isabel. His father's 1912 Petition for Naturalization in the USA gives the birthdates of all eight children. Abe's is given as 5 December 1898. I believe this to be correct. YS The Social Security Death Index indicates a birthdate of 4 December 1897.
