User Comment:
10 names came up for Abraham Jozefowicz though based on the school he would have had to have been born between 1926 and 1931. Out of the ten names only one had a birthday within the appropriate time frame. Abram would have been 12 years old.
I see what you mean looking at the names and comparing them. At this point I don't have a real way based on name, birth date, or address to decide which person is Abraham Jozefowicz. At this point either is a possibility.
Approver Comment:
Thank you for listing both names--continue to follow both through the other stages.

I agree that Abram Jozefowicz is a possible candidate to have signed the album--as you suggest, he was almost 12 years old in September 1941, an appropriate age at which to be attending school #13b.
When I search for names that sound like Jozefowicz, I find an Abram Srul Juzefowicz, close enough in spelling to make me look more closely. He was born in 1931, also an appropriate age for school #13b. What do you think?
