• Srul Schloma (single, age 23), son of Hersch and Golde, died in 1882 in Podhajce in house 543; Josef Leib (11 months), son of Menkes (aged about 35) and Chaje Sime, died in 1883 in Podhajce, also in house 543 - thus, a close connection was very likely between Menkes and Srul Schloma (in this case, likely brothers). No shared houses are found between Menkes and Schmaje or his children.
• None of Menkes' daughters or granddaughters appear to have had the name Reisie (despite the fact she died in 1893 before many of the granddaughters were born), while at least three had the name Golde.
• While Menkes' daughter Golde, born 1877, may well have been named after their mother's grandmother of that name, his two granddaughters named Golde, born in 1903 and 1907, likely were not. By that time, both Hersch's wife (likely Menkes' mother) and Menkes' wife's grandmother were both likely deceased (there is relatively good record coverage after 1877 but not before, when Hersch and Golde likely died). In which case, it is implausible that the children would have been named for their parent's great-grandmother rather than their parent's grandmother. Therefore, these granddaughters having the name Golde is indicative of Menkes' mother having had that name.
• While Menkes did have a son name Schmaje in 1884, it is unlikely he was named after Menkes' father. A Schmaje Schussel, along another branch, was born in 1879. So if both descend from the elder, he must have died prior to 1879. However, Menkes had a son Josef Leib born in 1883 (likely named after Josel Schussel who died just prior in 1882 and was probably Menkes' grandfather). Since first priority for naming sons went to the father's father, he should have been named Schmaje, if that was in fact the name of Menkes' father. Furthermore, another cousin Salamon was born in 1874 and likely named after Schmaje/Schloma, suggesting he died prior to 1874. In which case, Menkes' first born son, Abraham, born in 1873, may well have been born after the death of Schmaje, but again was not given this name.
• At this point it remains unclear why, given the connection to Golde, the name Hersch does not appear in the names of Menkes' children and grandchildren. Perhaps he had a double name, such as Abraham Hersch, in which case Menkes' first born son Abraham would have been named after him. More analysis will be needed to shed light on this mystery.
