User Comment:
When we searched his name we found out that he went to school #2 which states that it was a religious school for boys from the ages of 10-15 which would be the years of 1926-1931. We then searched the name Alter Salem and a search came us as Alter Mendel Salem when clicked on, it states that his birthday was in 1930. This date fits between the years that the school boys were enrolled in, this is why we believe this is our man.
Approver Comment:
Excellent explanation! I agree with your reasoning completely. Go ahead and add his middle name to the "Name" field (so it reads "Alter Mendel Salem" in the name field). Also note his address: Rauchgasse 5, apartment 27.
Excellent work! I can't wait to see what you find in stage 2.
