After following your research suggestions we found a Symcha Zalcszyc.He was born July 14th, 1928 which is within the specified age range of School #14B. His address was HIRTEN 7, and HOHENS 43 116. 

We have run into a wall, where there are several Symcha’s with similar last names all born on a 14th of either March or July, 1928. Meaning any one of them could actually be the real “Symcha Zolfszyc”. The one that’s really giving us trouble is Symcha Zaleschyc. He lives in the same address as the others that we’ve found. The only difference is he was born four months earlier, in March. In our reasoning, for the date, a seven with a dash through it, looks very similar to a three if it was written fast, thus meaning that Symcha Zaleschyc and Symcha Zalcszyc are actually the same person.

Nice job. I agree that all three of these names point to the same person. Don't forget to add the other addresses on these profileds. What do you think the date in the note on Symcha Zaleschyc's profile means?

Following our usual research method of discovering family members, we found a Chana Zalcszyc born July 1st, 1895 who lived at the exact same addresses of Hirten 7 and Hohens 43 116. We believe she was the mother. A girl named Ides Zalcszyc was born October 12th 1931 and we believe she was a younger sister. Regina Zalcszyc had the same addresses and was born April 3rd, 1934. We believe her to be a younger sister as well. Roza Zalcszyc fits the same criteria and was born October 14th, 1931. However, this doesn’t make sense that she could have been born within a couple days of her sister. So either she’s a cousin or there is an error with one of their dates leading them to either be twins or years apart. 

Upon looking up “Zaleschyc” we have found all the original relatives, Ides, Roza and Regina, under this last name. This confirms that they are most likely the same people. The Ghetto note is just a date, “5.3.1943” which we believe means that they moved to their second residence on that date. Also, we noted a change in Ides’ birth date, in that it now says she was born October 12th, 1938 so she would be a sister, not a twin or cousin. We still have had no luck finding a father.
