The document listing Sarah/Sadie's maiden name as "Proputua" ("Propst" is the closest thing I can find on Jewishgen.org; maybe it was supposed to be "Papotnick", which is itself vanishingly rare) has caused a lot of confusion for any of us studying the family tree. Sadlie's brother was named Max Brayer. While it is possible Max and Sadie were half-siblings, or that Sarah had another husband before Morris and so already had a different surname, I think this record is suspect. Noting that they list Louis as a "bookkeeper." No; he was a bookseller, which sort of sounds similar but isn't the same thing at all.

On her son Samuel Cohen's birth record, Morris is listed as Moritz Cohn, Sadie is Sadie Cohn and her maiden name is listed as "Berier".
