Conflation on Steroids - which of 13 men is my great uncle?

Question

My great-uncle was Morris Lichtman, who came to the United States from (probably) Hungary and lived in New York City.  There are a few dozen candidates, but only(!) 13 of them are the right age.  I have collected all the records I could find and sorted them out as best I can.  The result is 6 separate profiles plus one more (linked here) that I'm using as a workspace for the ones for which I don't have sufficient information to add profiles.

I'm pretty sure that the one currently connected to my family is not the right one ... but I desperately need help to determine which of the 13 is the right one.

Answer 1

So, Morris is brother to Samuel and son to Bernat?  Have you matched, for example, Samuel's address to the address given on the passenger manifest for contact in the US?  Or maybe Bernat's or Samuel's census records?  I would try attacking the problem from brother or father's knowns.

Good luck.

Comments

Sandi, THANX for the suggestion, but I can assure you that I have been through all the records I have been able to find for all 13 of these people in great depth, and many times over, trying to sort them out before supplicating for help from members better skilled than I am.  It was only with great effort that I managed to disentangle the different people as much as I have.  I compared every record to other known family records, although in some cases they, too, have potential of being conflated - I know of at least 2 Bernat's, 3 Samuels, and about a half-dozen Harry's and there may be a few Max's also.  Everything I have done is fully documented on all their profiles.

This task is not for the faint of heart!
