User Comment:
When I did a search for Mordechai Pelsa I couldn't find any results so I searched for both names in the "Fuzzy" search and I found two results who are both the same boy. I'm guessing the "?" in the last name means it was probably hard to read and they weren't sure if that was the correct name. The boy I found was Mordechaj PELTA born 10 Sep 1933 and he lived at Blattbindergasse 13 flat 27 and Alexanderhofstrasse 8 (no flat). Since his first name is only one letter off and his last name is only one letter off it looks like this is the boy who signed his name in the album. He also appears in the database as Mordcha Pelta born 10 Sep 1932 and living at Blatbindergasse 15 flat 2 and Blattbindergasse 13 (no flat).
Expert Reviewer Comment:
I agree Mordechaj Pelta is the correct student. Good work and see you in stage 2!
Approver Comment:
Nice work. I agree that both of these records point to the same person, even if we're not sure exactly when he was born. Remember to look for both dates of birth in the next stages.

User Comment:
There were three people with the same last name living at the aforementioned addresses; Chil born 27/06/1899 (Mordcha's father) Klara Jakubowicz born 01/06/1900 (Mordcha's mother) and Rykwa born 21/03/1929 (Mordcha's sister). I looked through the following stages and couldn't find any more information on Mordcha or his family members.
Expert Reviewer Comment:
Thanks for adding in Mordechaj's family. Hopefully we'll be able to uncover the rest of his story in the future when more resources become available.
Approver Comment:
I agree these are Mordcha/Mordechaj's family members.
