User Comment:

The name on the list of students is "Bracha" but the name in the database is "Brucha". I believe this may still be the same person.

If the "Bruche" that you found was born in 1932, is it possible that its still the same person? It seems like the date of birth would be more significant that the same name.

 

Approver Comment:
I agree--we often see Bracha and Brucha (like "Sara" and "Sura") as analogues for the same name. Nice work!

Usually significantly different dates of birth would sway me against believing that two names referred to the same person. The similarity of the names and the exact match on the address, though, led me to reconsider. What do you think?
