Expert Reviewer Comment:
Hello, and thank you for initiating research on Teofila Offenbach of School 8B. I agree with the name and other identity details that you have entered for her. It would be a good idea to note in the the researcher comments section how you found her (given the difference in spelling) and what (if any) significance that spelling difference might have. Please continue your research to see what else you can learn about her.
Approver Comment:
I agree you have found the student who most likely signed the album! In 1941 she would have been 11 years old, the right age to attend school #8b. As your expert reviewer suggests, please use the "research notes" field to explain your research process and how you determined this was the person who signed the album. Good luck in the next stages.
