User Comment:

I believe that Manie and Chana Horn may be siblings. They lived at the same address, have the same last name, and attended the same school. 

Mamiel Horyn could be another child who signed. The spelling of his name is similar to Manie's and he is the same age. 

Approver Comment:
Thank you for adding the additional spelling of his name. I think since the names and dates of birth are so similar, and the addresses are the same, Manie and Mamiel are the same person.

As with Chana, there are other possible candidates to have signed this name: in this case, I see Abram Szymon Horyn, born in 1932, as another possible signer. While it's tempting to go with Chana Horn b. 1931 and Manie/Mamiel Horn b. 1928 as the people who signed these names, since they are very clearly siblings for all the reasons you noted, we need to make sure we're considering all the possibilities.

Manie and Chana lived at the same address, had the same last name and attended the smae school. This is why I believe they are siblings. 

Approver Comment:
I agree. I'm going to continue to mark this as possible until we know more about which boy (Manie/Mamiel or Abram) signed this name in the album.
