- Evidence status
- Documented historic object; inscription partly weathered
- Uncertainty
- The date letter is read as dalet: 4 Tevet 5689, corresponding to 17 December 1928 and agreeing with the cemetery register. Her husband is securely identified as Moshe HaLevi in Hebrew and Moritz in the civil cemetery register; only this household’s relationship to the principal documented family line remains unresolved.
