Naphtali Ship

From his 1911 Canadian naturalization, Naphtali was born in Kamenitz, Podolsk, Russia. On JewishGen, this first maps to Camenca, Moldova, which was in Podolia before 1900, about 80 km from Beldz, now Balti, Moldova.

Another candidate is Kamyanetz Podilskyy, Ukraine, which was in Podolia around 1900, 150-200 km from Balti, Moldova.

There was a researcher in the Family Finder interested in Czapp in Kamyanetz Podilskyy, but that person is reported as deceased.

Based on her gravestone, Toba died 1972 at age 89, implying a birth year of 1883

According to her marriage record, Toba was 23 on Jan. 16, 1907, implying a birth year of 1883. In the same record, Moses was 25, implying a birth year of 1881, but his birth year is recorded as 1879.

According to her naturalization file, Toba was born 1880-11-15, or 1881-11-15, but when clarification was requested, her representative wrote that she claimed to have been born 1861-12-15, but the 1861 was probably a typo of 1881, and December was used instead of November because, ...? I think that the decided date was 1881-11-15, and that could have been chosen so that she was not older than her husband.

Also in her naturalization file, Toba came to Canada in 1906, at the age of 20, indicating a birth year of 1886.

Her date of birth, specifically the day in the month, may be further complicated because Russia was on the Julian and not the Gregorian calendar until 1918.
