Notes for Genese Korb: While Ginese's birthday is marked on the grave in Vilna cemetery as 1882, there were always rumours that she was younger. The marriage record in the rabinate books seems to indicate that she was born around 1885, which would make her age at death 88.
Her daughter Malka Sher always said that Ginese was from Libeve (Liepaja/Libau) in Latvia. The marriage certificate states that she was a member of the Plungian Jewish community, which means that even if she moved from Libeve she already lived in Plungian for a while before marying.
