We found 4 possible candidates to be the Zalman Pesach Moszkowicz that attended school #1. The one we found most likely to be Zalman Pesach Moszkowicz, found by research and information, is Zalman Moszkowicz , born March 18th 1931, making him 10 years old at the time he would have signed this album. The boys that attended School #1 where between the ages of 9 and 15, born between 1926 and 1932. The other candidates found where much to old to attend school #1, they were born 1898,1923, and 1924 making them all over the age of 17 and un-able to attend this school. He lived at Alexhof 22 43 and Rauch 28

I agree that you have found the right Zalman! Your explanation is excellent: since we know Zalman went to school #1, he would have been born between 1926 and 1932, and of those four Zalmans, only this one was born in that range of dates. Also include his addresses: Alexhof 22, apartment 43, and Rauchgasse 28 (for stage 2, you'll have the date he moved: 28 December 1942).

Thanks for fixing the birthdate! I am confirming your research; feel free to move on to stage 2.

i went through the 954 names that were found for the last name of Moszkowicz and Maindla is the only one that makes sence to be his mother beacuse she always lived at the same adress as Zalman and would have been 39 at the date of his birth

I also think that Zalman Hersz Moszowicz is his father beacuse he also lived at the same adresses as both Zalman and Maindla and he as well would have been 39 at the time of Zalmans birth

Wow! I'm really impressed at your industriousness in going through all 954 names. I agree with your reasoning for choosing these two candidates to have been his parents; the age difference and the common address add up to a likely parental relationship. Well done! (All I need you to do is reenter Zalman's last name--you left out the k in Moszkowicz. Other than that, it's great!)
