Family Surname: Flaster
Country: Hungary
Town: Topporcz
Date of Image: 1853

The source for this image is Family Search (https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:33S7-9R77-1R9?). I would love some help with the German (and Hebrew if possible). I posted an earlier image also for Moses Flaster, marrying a different person a year earlier. Could this be the same Moses, and does this record indicate that Fani Hamerschlag and/ or her daughter Mina died? Moses also seemed to have children with Rozsa Schusterman in the late 1850s, 1860s and 1870s, if it's the same Moses. Thank you so much for any help. emmabcole@gmail.com
