She is listed as “Adel” with parents Béla [Albert] Pohl and Maria Bittner. She was born December 13, 1890 and baptized the next day on December 14. Finally I’m able to say conclusively she was born in 1890. The year was always in doubt as to whether it was 1889, 1890, or 1891. She apparently celebrated her birthday on December 14, although according to the record she was actually born December 13.

She was indeed born in Szabolcs, Hungary. The record introduces yet another name for her. Was her name Ida, Adella, Adelheid, or now Adel? Adel is probably short for Adelheid. And a new mystery surfaced. Her mother’s maiden name was probably Bittner, with a B, rather than Pittner, with a P.

So, just by chance I found grandmother’s two older siblings in the online index. That led to the hypothesis, now confirmed, that she was there too. I was lucky to find her. My mother would have been so tickled to learn where and when her mother was born.
