User Comment:
I noticed that although there wasn't an F. Akerman in the research database born between 1925-1935, there was an F. Ankerman born in 1935. I looked through the list of student names and didn't see the last name of Ankerman. This made me wonder if maybe Akerman is actually Ankerman. The dates, gender and location would fit. I also made note in the "other" section of the address field "OST 4". I wasn't sure where that fit. It doesn't seem like a street, house or flat number.
Expert Reviewer Comment:
I do believe that this girl is quite possibly the student who signed the book. The only thing that has me a bit stumped is the fact that her occuption isn't listed as a student. However, out of the list of possibilities, Frajda is the best bet.
As for Akerman vs. Ankerman, that could easily be a simple clerical error. They may have just missed the "n" when entering in her data!
The OST stands for Oststrasse street, it is listed in the drop-down menu for street names. Please go back into the section and fix that.
Thank you for your research, good luck in the upcoming stages!
Approver Comment:
I agree that this is the most likely candidate to have signed this name in the album. We often see the transposition, addition, or subtraction of one or more letters in a first or last name between the album and the database, so Frajda looks like a pretty good bet to have signed this name in the album.
