-----------------------------------------------
I have given two different pronunciation possibilities for her name, as it would depend upon the particular Yiddish dialect spoken in her area. Brayndel would sound like brain-d'l. Breindel would sound like bryn-d'l, with 'bry ' rhyming with 'try'.

'Reb' is an honorific; her father was not a rabbi.
