• death of EPSZTEJN Badana 1874 daughter of Judel MYSZKOWSKI and Dweura

My great grandmother, Hattie (Badana) Bramson Frankel was born in 1874 in Przerosl, clearly named in honor of her great grandmother who died that year.

She may be the same person as Badana Unknown or Myszkowski. See the following facts from records from Przerosl:

• Abram Epsztein and "Badana" had a child "Lebjka" (sic) in 1841 in Przerosl.
• In 1864 in Przerosl Liba Epsztein, daughter of Abram and "Badana" (patronymic Israel) married Mordechai Margolis, son of Jankiel Margolis and Rochla Bardyni, daughter of Elias.

Given the size of Przerosl's Jewish population and the fact that Badana would have had property in Pzerosl, it seems unlikely there would have been another Abram Epstein married to a Badana of the right age to have a child in 1841 in Przerosl.

From birth certificate of Chava Margolis:

It happened in Przerosl on the 21 of October 1835 at 6 am. The Jew Leyba Kalwaryski Margolis, age 39 laborer in Przerosl with witnesses Peltyn Leybowicz, sexton, age 32 and Szmujl Wolfowicz Kridanski? Age 33, stated that on the 13th of October at 9 His wife Badana Leybowna, age 32 gave birth to a daughter who was given the name Eywa.
