Research Notes

Source for this information is Robert Reger - It is interesting how this individual's existence was discovered. In July 2004, Michelle Sommer gave Robert Reger a copy of the extended Finkelstein family that she had worked on up to that point. It had shown Mae Bell, (Rob's mother), the third child born to Joe and Ida (Finkelstein) Bell. Learning of Pauline Bell's existence piqued Rob's interest since his mother never spoke of any children besides herself and Pearl. Rob later found a copy of Mae's birth certificate which clearly shows Mae (spelled May) as the FOURTH child, (second living) born to Joe Bell (born in Witebsk, Russia) and Ida Finkelstein Bell (born in Vilna, Russia), residing in New Haven, CT, USA

At the time of sister Mae's birth, her parents and sister Pearl resided at 134 Orchard Street, New Haven, CT, USA . Mae was the fourth child born, and second still living.

• 1910 census only shows 1 child, Pauline, born Jan 1909. It also shows that Ida only had 1 child that was living. ^[1]
