2445	Translation - Hungary	8/1/2004	I believe this is a listing of all the siblings in my Great grandfather Emanuel Rosenbaums family. I think it also lists their wives. If so this would be a real find for me. It appears to be some sort of ledger or accounting of belongings. I am most interested in the names and if any relationships are mentioned.What does the underlined word on line 8 mean? Thank you for all your help.	View the post, there are no responses
