Title: Maiden name: Weintraub?
Post by: trees241 on Tuesday 13 July 21 00:57 BST (UK)

Hi All,

What do you think? Does the attached look like Weintraub? Ancestry said Weintrant, and FamilySearch on the same record said Weintranb. Additional research on FamilySearch points to many more instances of Weintraub. Ancestry and FamilySearch did not have the image of this record, so I ordered the PDF version. Glad I did!

I have attached examples of "t" elsewhere in the document which helps show that it is more likely Weintraub and not Weintrant.

Thanks!

Agree that it is Weintrau....... and most likely 'b' at the end.  Just to make sure though are there any other instances of the letters 'b' or 'p' in the document.

Would this have been a signature or was it something written out by another person?

It was written by another person. Part of a Birth Certificate. I have attached a written example from the document of "Austria" to show similarity of the "u". I do not see a "p" or other examples of "b".
