Does anybody have the birth entry? Is it for sure that he was born in Cechtice?

According to the Familianten entry from Zwiestow he was born in 1796 https://vademecum.nacr.cz/vademecum/permalink?xid=cd34749d-b680-4c0...

It seems Nathan Löbl Kohn received the allowance to marry Barbara Sinek in 1799 - hence Abraham was illegitimate or his mother was not Barbara Sinek but Nathan's first wife (stated unknown)

One of the two Familiant records (from Westetz) indicates that Nathan's first wife was Rachl (unbekannt), and I would presume Rachl to be Abraham's mother. https://vademecum.nacr.cz/vademecum/permalink?xid=64ee93d5-ab5c-4bb...

However, there are several inconsistencies between these Familiant records and other records that appear to belong to this family. I think we need to take a careful look to be sure we can explain the discrepancies and are not conflating two or more families with similar names.

1. The two Familiant records indicate that Nathan married Barbara "Sak[in]" rather than Sinek.

2. The two Familiant records indicate that Abraham married Barbara Reiner/Rainer rather than Rosalia Pollak.

3. There is a third Familiant record for a Nathan Kohn in Budislav/Jungwoschitz whose father was allegedly Jakob rather than Isak (as in the other two records). https://zayt.org/collections/jewish-familiant-books-1811-1848-redux... The comments on the right side of the page do appear to match with the other two Familiant records, but the date of the father's marriage permission (1784, rather late!) and name of Nathan's father don't seem to match for this family.

I will look into it more later.

(And no, I have not found Abraham's birth record in Cechtice or elsewhere. Most books do not go far enough back in time.)

Thank you Lisa - looking forward on your opinion
