About Pauline Gell-Mann

Note: Parents' given names are uncertain. Mother's maiden surname is given in the California Death Index. There is a child Samuel born to parents Benjamin Reichstein and Chaje Gutstein in Kozova, Tarnopol, in 1893 (per Jewish Records Indexing Project - Poland), who could plausibly be her older brother. If these parents are correct, Pauline's father Benjamin died at age 32 in 1898. This is consistent with the ship manifest listing Pauline (Pepi)'s mother Klara as a widow in 1899, though brother Samuel is not mentioned.
