Research Notes

• I believe her tombstone says she was the daughter of Rabbi (HaRav הרב) David Leib, and that her name was העניא גיטל -Henya/Anya Gittel Weatherall-96 06:42, 4 December 2022 (UTC)
• her maiden name Hertzog comes from her son Solomon’s obituary.^[3]
• her son Israel recorded his birthplace as Nesvize, Russia on his WWII card. The town of Nesvizh in modern-day Belarus us the closest match I could find. It did have a Jewish population.^[4]
