Student Profile: Marta Rein

When Marta Rein's name was entered into the JewishGen database, it is important to note that 4 entry results came up. They all have the same birthdate and birth location, so we can assume that each entry is for the same Marta Rein. The differences in these 4 records are specific addresses and occupations. We cannot prove that these Marta entries are in fact different people, but it is a possibility that they are different because of the difference in occupation and address. This repetition of records for Marta Rein could be due to human error in entering/recording the data.

It's always good to be precise in your research, but I'm pretty sure these entries are all for the same person. She has several addresses because she changed address at least twice. She registered at a new address on 31/08/1943 and again on 26/11/1943. Her occupation titles translate as "worker" (arbeiter[in]) and "buro" refers to an "office." So, I believe that "burobeamt" simply refers to someone who works in an office.

I agree with both of you guys. It is probably the same person but she had moved several times. I just checked it to make sure that it is the case, and it seems that you guys are right. This person is much more difficult than my person in that my person lived in the same place all her life and died in the Lodz Ghetto. The only difficulty I had was finding her siblings. How did you do it besides from looking at your person's address and matching it up with older people living in that same address?

andrewsb -- The main lead on identifying siblings is what you already mentioned... cross-reference the last name and addresses. Since most of the folks we are researching here were born between 1921 and 1936, it means their siblings would be born in the same general time period. Usually, the parents are born between 1895 and 1910.
