Oscar FRIEDMANN - Silesia

Dear Genners.

I have been trying to trace the history my wife's ancestor Oscar
FRIEDMANN for many years now, with little success.

I have a handwritten family tree which gives his date of birth as
15.3.1852, and an illegible place of birth which looks a little like
'Breslau', where many of the family were born. Further back than that
- nothing.

His wife, Martha Moses was born in Ottmachau (Otmuchow). Their eldest
daughter Alice was born in Beuthen (Bytom), their other children were
born in Neisse (Nysa) near Ottmachau.

Herein lies my question, JRI-Poland recently updated births for the
town of Tarnowitz (Tarnowskie Gory), which lies close to Beuthen.
There is a birth for an Oscar Friedmann on 15.3.1855, Parents Julius
and Rosalie (Loewe).

I would appreciate your insights and opinions as to whether this is
one and the same Oscar Friedmann, and that somehow the dates (and
possibly place) in the handwritten tree are mistaken. What are the
chances of two different Oscar Friedmanns with the same birthday from
the same geographical location.

Many thanks for any suggestions

Oscar FRIEDMANN could be the same person or not. Especially in the same
geographic area, cousins were often named after the same ancestor.
Additional evidence is needed to confirm parents' names.

My advice is to follow Israel's Rule from his talk "Beyond a Doubt:
What We Know vs. What We Can Prove" by Israel Pickholtz.
< http://pikholz.org/34-SLC/ReasonableDoubt-Rule.html >
< http://pikholz.org/34-SLC/ReasonableDoubt-Questions.html >
Even when you are sure you know, don't record it until you have one more
piece of evidence.

Good luck!
