I wrote yesterday that Ze'ev Sharon (Wolf Schattner) was born in 1913, which Walter found surprising and possibly in error, primarily based on his understanding of the age difference between our mother and her cousin. 

Helga was born in October 1924. Walter had believed that Ze'ev was only a few years older than Helga, and certainly not as many as 11 years older as my information suggested. So I told him I would go check my sources and try to update the information. 

Yesterday I wrote that I had not yet learned the histories of the two husbands of Hermann Ringel's sisters Rosa and Pessel (known as Betty). That was so yesterday.

I woke up this morning to email from Rodney who had already seen that and had done a little digging of his own. He also pointed out that I was in error yesterday when I wrote that only the front of the Ringel-Wohlgemuth marriage record was available. He found the back and sent it along, showing that the two marriage witnesses were Isaak Wohlgemuth and the merchant Martin Horowicz, who lived at Lothringer Straße 14. 

Both of Hermann Ringel's widowed sisters lived with their childrent in Hermann's old building on Lothringstraße. 

The long sought-after marriage record of Hermann Ringel and Elly Wohlgemuth has become available. It shows they were married on April 20, 1922. 

A closer look at the Meyer & Gelhorn encyclopedia entry reveals the bank had a secondary office at Brotbänkengasse 9, nearby Heinrich Wolgemuth's residence.

Rodney Eisfelder deciphers the street name on Frederike Wohlgemuth's death certificate. It is Brotbänkengasse 19, which turns out to be on a famous street in old Danzig. 

JewishGen's Holocaust Database Project announced publication of the Herbert Beritt Reichsanzeiger record compilation on August 13, 2020.

A couple of days ago, I stumbled on this new Elly Ringel citation in the JewishGen Holocaust database. What do we learn from the database record? What is the source of the record and how did it recently show up on JewishGen?
