Notes
60 years old. Born ca 1855 in Cieszanow.

Group Two: Death register


Zeindel / Sendel  is the Kinnui for Alexander.


From Alexander Beider's book about Ashkenazic given names:

Alexander came into use as a name for Jewish boys after the Greek monarch Alexander the Great conquered Palestine in 333 B.C.E. According to the Talmud, all Jewish boys of priestly families (Kohen families) were named Alexander in the year following his arrival.
It is therefore considered a Shem HaKodesh. 

Aron Sindel KNOPF was born around  1855 and was married to Feiga KNOPF.

Aron Sindel died in 1915.
His wife Feiga lived till 1930 and is buried in Row 1, Grave 42. She was then 78 years old, i.e. she was born around 1852 - a little older than her husband.

From a Page of Testimony submitted by a relative:
One of their sons was Wolf Yehuda KNOPF, born 1894 in Lubaczow, a butcher by profession. He was married to Pesel KNOPF. He was murdered in Holocaust.

Szabsa KNOPF, the father of Aron Sindel KNOPF, was married to Sara, and together they had at least these three children:
Aron Sindel KNOPF  ca 1855 - 1915 ROW 4, GRAVE 36
Hersz Izak KNOPF  ca 1859- 1931  ROW 7, GRAVE 17
Perla Ita KNOPF married ROTTER ca 1862 - 1915. Grave not located.

As a guess:
Could the person buried in Grave 35 on this row, be Aron Sindel's father Szabsa KNOPF?
