(1839 - 1843 - Bef Est 1902)

We learn about Gitel as the second wife of Alter from a record that comes from the Tarnopol Jewish Marriages (1934-1936, 1938-1939) database, fond 701, series 1, volume 350, record number 96. The original records are held in Central State Historical Archives of Ukraine in Lviv (TsDIAL) and were added to Gesher Galicia search engine on 2 January 2018. The Gesher Galicia unique record ID is GG-tarnopol_m_1934_1936_1938_1939_701_1_348_354-202.
