Hi,
These are 3 birth/death records of two brothers, Berek Lejbus Nusbaum and Hil Nusbaum, from 1828 and 1830.
I'm interested in knowing only the exact original surname of their mother, Brandla, and whether it is mentioned as an actual surname or as a patronym.
In addition, in the death record of Berek Laybus, in what house number does his father live?
thanks,
Ido

4/26/2026 11:59 PM Hello,
In all three records, the mother's surname is listed as "Maierkowiczowna" or "Majerkowiczowna." The formation is rather irregular, but this is still a patronymic meaning "daughter of Maier/Majer." It is not a true surname.

In the death record of Berek Leybus, the father lives in House No. 21.
