Revision as of 17:38, 25 December 2019
No validation report is available at this time for Israel Kristal and his is a case where a clear explanation for the validation would be required. He was a holocaust survivor and emigrated from Poland to Israel [40]. Such upheavals inevitably make validation more difficult. We do not know if he had any siblings.
The most significant problem for us is that his birth date was validated using a document from 1918 when he was 15 years old. The full provenance of the document has not been published. Kristal’s name has been added to the document in a different handwriting and with an undeciphered note. This needs to be explained. It was considered sufficient for the GWR certification but it will not meet the requirements for a cast-iron validation because it is too late in his early life, and too disconnected from his actual birth.
We are informed that a validation report for this case will appear soon so we reserve judgment until seeing what other evidence may be available.
