Additionally, what does > "municipality ?Aruąwy" and "the tenth Community" mean? It's not Aruawy, but "drugiey", that is, "second". Meaning they lived in the Second Community. It was an administrative division of the city, just as Paris has numbered "arondissements". After the Vienna Congress in 1815 Cracow became a free city and had eleven "communities". The Jewish neighbourhood Kazimierz constituted Communities 10 and 11. Community 2 was one of the central, "downtown", neighbourhoods. > Akt 224 > ...

Not really a mistake -- it says "i Markusowney Eisenbergowney", that is, "and [from] the daughter of Markus Eisenberg". Her first name is not given. Best, -Margaret Mikulska silvagen@gmail.com
