User Comment:
I was not able to find any connection between, or much documentation on, the names Cwetl and Sweta, but the tow names sound very alike phonetically, and the last names are only off by a letter, Sasiewicz to Sosiewicz. Sweta was also born in 1931, which is within the the date range for Cwetl's school.
Approver Comment:
I agree you've found the person who signed this name in the album. Cwetl and Sweta would have been pronounced almost identically, and the discrepancy might have come in transcription or simply in two accepted spellings for the same name. Please look for both spellings in the next stages. Thank you as well for your excellent process note.

User Comment:
Malka we believe is her mother because she was born in 1902 which would make her 29 when she had Sweta. Also they have the same Ghetto address.
The siblings all have the same address as well and are born around the same time as Sweta which determines they are siblings. The names in parenthesis are what might possibly be the other way they spell their name. There were two entries with different spellings, but same birth date, for the people we determined to be her siblings. We weren't sure which one might be the actual spelling so we put both.
We also believe that Sweta had a twin sister named Cyla Zmeta seeing as they were born on May 4 1931.
It also seems that her mother had a baby while in the ghetto as there is Malka Tauba Sosiewicz that was born in 1940 and was named after her mother.
Approver Comment:
Are you sure Sweta and Cyla Zmeta aren't the same person? Also, where there are two spellings of a name, please list them in separate fields: Bronia Sosiewicz, and Brajna Sosiewicz, for example.
