Uncle Geza's Diary: On Grandfather Gerson |
|
His [Nachum's] son, Gerson, was born and died in Gombosvitz in Sáros County. My mother’s father (after whom I was named) was a(n) [agricultural] land-leaser [i.e. farmer] whose wife was Aranka. (My sister bares her name.) He [Aranka’s father] was a descendent of [several] well-known rabbis in Galicia, and was very respected in his territory. |
* The Gyula chart incorrectly attributes the death date as 15 Dec 1874 in Nagyvarad (which contradicts Geza's diary which says Gerson was born and died in Gombos). This is the place and date of his wife Hani's death and probably not his. Regina's marriage certificate says that he was already deceased in 1861, but it also says that her father-in-law Pal SIMON was also deceased which was not true.
