User Comments:

When searching for H. Szell there were two names that came up but only one was born between the years 1921 and 1927. The girl was ahelena Szell born 27 Oct 1925 and she lived at Muehl 22 flat 26 and R Hess 61. I decided to search her name under the "DM Soundex" and found her as Helena Schell with the same birthdate and same R Hess address and Muhl 22 flat 18 and she moved to another appartment in the same house on 25.10.43.

Approver Comments:

I agree you have found the person who signed this name in the album. In 1941 she would have been 16 years old, the right age to attend gymnasium. Please remember to add the date of her move into the appropriate field on the next stage.

I found Dawid born 22 Sep 1897 (he has ZUCHSHAUS SIERODZ as an address) Cerka born 15 May 1896 and Malwina born 28 Apr 1928. I searched through the other stages and couldn't find anymore information on Helena or her family.

Approver Comments:

I agree that you have found Helena's family members. I hope we can find more information about her as more resources become available to us.
