    Notes 
    • The vital statistics of Rezekne for 1865 to 1892 have the following entry: 9 Sep 1891 was concluded the marriage between the widower Zalman-Ber son of Genech-Hirsh Gurevitch (26) and girl from Dunabourg/Daugavpils, Rochel Lea, daughter of Leiba Itsik Shust (22 years old). I wonder if any of his children were with the first wife? DH
