Hermin Leichtmann

Hermin sometimes went by Hani, which is confusing since she had a sister (or half sister) who also went by that name. I am fairly certain that they are both the children of Jozsef (Israel Ozer) Gottlieb, however. When Hermin got married in 1857, she listed her place of residence as House number 560 in Mad (the same house where, in the 1869 census, Jozsef is living, as is his son Majer).

For Hermin, her Hebrew name is illegible on her tombstone, but it lists her mother's name as Rachel. The tombstone of her son Samu Leon (Soma), however, lists his mother's Hebrew name as Hindel. For the other Hani, I have seen her tombstone and know that it says her father's Hebrew name was Israel Ozer.

Hermin's marriage record indicates that she was born around 1838, but her tombstone and death record indicate that she was born around 1832. Based on records from Mad, however, it appears that her father may have had daughters in 1833 and 1835. I have no clue which one (if any) was her birth.

Hermin's death record incorrectly lists her parents' names as Armin Gottlieb and Etelka Grosz. I don't know where those names came from, but I'm fairly certain that I am looking at the death record of the correct person.
