A few notes/additions:

I interpret "r." after "Lea" to mean "recte," a Latin term meaning "rightly." This indicates the legal name (at least according to civil authorities) to be Leitcza, but that the mother may have been called "Lea" instead.

The first witness, Markus POMERANZ, is a restaurateur—the owner of a restaurant.

The second witness is named Leon NUSSBAUM, not NYSSBAUM.
