Notes and corrections

Corrected brother of Jacob

The family record said: son of Sally Leibholz and Friederike Schmul
This archive now has: NOT A BROTHER — the dates forbid it. Probably a cousin or nephew of the same family

Jacob was born at Schubin on 8 August 1884 and Georg at Hammerstein on 7 June 1884 — SIXTY-TWO DAYS APART. Two sons of one mother cannot be. Both dates are the Bundesarchiv's, independently of the family, and that arithmetic is what this correction rests on. *** THE WORDING BEFORE 20 SEPTEMBER 2026 ALSO SAID 'two hundred kilometres apart' AND CALLED GEORG 'a different Leibholz family'. BOTH ARE WITHDRAWN. *** SALLY LEIBHOLZ, JACOB'S OWN FATHER, WAS BORN AT HAMMERSTEIN ON 7 JULY 1847 and married at Szubin on 24 December 1874 (corrected 27 September 2026 from 24 November, which was the family record's date and is not the register's). The family had people in both towns, so the distance between them is not evidence of anything and the surname at Hammerstein is not a stranger's. What the dates rule out is BROTHERHOOD; what they leave standing is a cousin or a nephew in the town Sally came from. The Leibholz page has said exactly that in its 'A likelier reading' panel since the start — 'right surname, right family, wrong generation' — and this correction contradicted it. It no longer does.
