# JPress sweep — Miriam Blumenthal née Leibovitz (מרים ליבוביץ) and Yaakov Blumenthal (יעקב בלומנטל), 1944–1952 — queries with per-hit classification, coverage limits and new items — 2026-10-27

**Subjects.**
(1) **Miriam Blumenthal née Leibovitz.** Marriage certificate, Petah Tikva rabbinate, 27.10.1948 (H 99915): "פועלת", 22, Hovevei Zion 12, Petah Tikva; parents "משה הלוי ליבוביץ" and "פרימט", both marked dead; voters' list 1949: b. 1925. Family tradition: Hungary; a relative's tree calls her "מרים מגדה". The project's working identification (`../../report.md`, sections 4.1–4.2): the parents are Moshe (shoemaker, Tököly utca, Balassagyarmat) and Fruma/Frumet/Fanni née Végh; the Yad Vashem pages of 2000, filled by Avraham Aharon (Netanya; probably a son), name Moshe, Fruma, Shimon and Feige-Toybe "Lili", and the archive book adds Manó; **Magda b. 20.1.1922** (Auschwitz – Ravensbrück – Altenburg – Buchenwald; next of kin Rose Lebovits, Budapest) is the open candidate for Miriam.
(2) **Yaakov Blumenthal.** Same certificate: "חייל", 30, residence "אי שם...", parents "משה בן ציון" and "חוה", both marked dead. Probably a son of Benő (Moshe Ben-Zion) and Ida née Deutsch of Nógrádbercel (twelve children); brothers Yitzhak (Ein Ganim 49, Petah Tikva, 1949), Michael, Yehuda; sister Rivka Gombo (`../../../yaakov-blumenthal/report.md`, sections 4.3–4.4 and 4.8).
**Date.** 2026-10-27. **Server.** JPress (National Library of Israel) through `jpress_search` (267 calls, recorded as 266 rows because one query was fetched in two pages), `jpress_get_article` and, once and then abandoned, `jpress_fetch_raw`. Sections opened: 117 directly; 66 Lakrov Velarahok sections, 40 section fetches on the "Moshe Leibovitz" hits and 120 HaTsofeh sections through delegated read-only extraction passes (D-1, C-6, C-7).
**Copyright.** Page images are locked; only OCR text was read. This file records section ids, dates, titles and short quotations (25 words or fewer) per hit, as printed, with the bidirectional control characters dropped. The OCR is noisy.
**Result in one line.** Six flagged findings (B-1 to B-6), all new to the project; no blocker; the full list is in B and in the summary.

## Canaries (run first, all green)
- `jpress_get_article lakkarov19470324-01.2.4` returned the known ship list (page 2 of "מעפילי חיים ארלוזורוב") and contains "קוטנר אברהם, 16, אוזורקוב". PASS: the blocker condition is not met.
- Known-answer controls: every delegated pass opened with a section whose entry was known, and every control was found verbatim. Lakrov passes: `lakkarov19470206-01.2.3` ("בלומנטאל איגנאץ־יאנו (מיכאל בלומנטאל) 4868"), `lakkarov19460519-01.2.3` (three Leibovitz entries), `lakkarov19460331-01.2.10`, `lakkarov19460110-01.2.15` ("בלום יעקב בלומנטאל יושד"), `lakkarov19470109-01.2.3` ("בלומנטאל מיכאל"), `lakkarov19460314-01.2.6` ("בלומנטאל איזידור"). "Moshe Leibovitz" passes: `hzh19481008-01.2.64`, `lakkarov19470324-01.2.8`, `hadoar19440407-01.2.18`. HaTsofeh passes: `hzh19481008-01.2.64`, `hzh19490624-01.2.99`, `hzh19520821-01.2.56`, `hzh19460815-01.2.54`, `hzh19490209-01.2.28`.
- Positive controls for the query engine (exact phrases find the known entries): `"בן משה בלומנטאל"` finds `hzh19481008-01.2.64`; `"מיכאל בלומנטאל"` finds `lakkarov19470206-01.2.3`; `"בלומנטאל מיכאל"` finds `lakkarov19470109-01.2.3`; `"לייבו מרים"` finds `lakkarov19460519-01.2.3`.
- Zero-hit searches are real answers: all 267 `jpress_search` calls returned a normal header ("N results for …"); no error, no timeout, no query repeated because of a fault. The one `jpress_fetch_raw` call (raw Veridian JSON for `"ליבוביץ מרים"`) ignored the date parameters, returned 14 results over all years and only image snippets, and was not used again.

## Coverage limits (measured today)
| Source | Measured | Consequence |
|---|---|---|
| Lakrov Velarahok (`lakkarov`) | sections containing `ישראל`: 559 (1945: 238; 1946: 259; 1947: 62); first `lakkarov19450628-01.2.2` (28.6.1945), last `lakkarov19470917-01.2.2` (17.9.1947) | The relatives-search lists and the ship and camp lists exist only for 28.6.1945 – 17.9.1947; nothing before or after |
| HaTsofeh (`hzh`), registration window | `ישראל` in 1.10–15.11.1948: 940 sections; `נרשמו לנשואין` in the same window: 23 sections (62 for September–December 1948) | The window of the 27.10.1948 wedding is indexed for HaTsofeh (940 sections over 46 days); the notice (B-1) was printed 8.10.1948 |
| Uj Kelet (`ujk`) | `Izrael`: 18,964 sections, of which 13,227 are type PAGE (a whole page of OCR; `jpress_search` lists them with an empty id, so they can be counted but not opened); 1949: 1,229; 1950: 641 | The Hungarian-language Israeli paper is dense from 1949; hidden PAGE hits are a blind spot (counts per query in A14) |
| Date filter | `date_to=1952` includes all of 1952 (hits up to 1952-12-22 appear) | The sweep covers 1944–1952 as asked |

Search behaviour that limits recall, observed in this sweep:
1. Registration lists print "FIRST בן/בת FATHER SURNAME — residence" (1944–1948) and "FIRST SURNAME בן FATHER" (1952). A phrase such as `"מרים ליבוביץ"` can never match them; patronymic phrases (`"בת משה ליבוביץ"`, `"בן משה בלומנטאל"`) do.
2. OCR errors in the very entries sought: "צרים" for מרים, "_גגים" for גנים, "בה" for בת, "משד" and "פשה" for משה, "ליבובי" and "לייבו" (surname cut), "טאגדו" for מאגדה. Every variant needs its own query.
3. A hyphen is part of the token (`איגנאץ־יאנו`: the phrases `"בלומנטאל איגנאץ"` and `"בלומנטל איגנץ"` return 0); an apostrophe splits a token (`ג'רמט` = `גרמט`: 87 noise hits).
4. Unquoted multi-word queries are AND anywhere in a section (`לייבוביץ מרים` in Lakrov: 110 sections).
5. Lakrov lists print "surname, first name, age, parents, country letter" (ה Hungary, ר Romania, פ and ם Poland, צ׳ Czechoslovakia, קר Carpatho-Rus); columns are garbled and several lists are truncated; Hungarian lists in Latin script appear from July 1945.

## How hits were classified
Text: **מאומת** means what the OCR says, quoted as printed. Identification grades: **כמעט ודאי**, **ככל הנראה**, **אפשר ש… (טעון אימות)**, **לא הוכרע**, **נשלל** (with the reason). NEW means the section id is not yet in the project: a search of the repository for every id in B found none (`lakkarov19460519-01.2.3` is held by the Rachel Zadok folder for another question, and `lakkarov19470414-01.2.2` by the Tzipora Kutner log for another person). The only JPress items already in this folder (`docs/jpress/`) are the 1974–1977 death notice, condolence advertisement and memorial advertisements for the son Meir.

## B. Flagged findings: could be Miriam, Magda, Yaakov or their siblings

### B-1. `hzh19481008-01.2.64` — the registration of Yaakov and Miriam (NEW; near-certain)
- **Where.** HaTsofeh, Tel Aviv, 8.10.1948, 165 words; column "נרשמו לנשואין בירושלים" (OCR "נרשמוי ן לנשוא ב ירושל ים"); block "נרשמו לנשואין אצל הרבנות הראשית בפתח תקווה".
- **OCR, couple 1.** `יעקב בן משה _בלומנטאל — עין _גגים פ"ת צרים בת משה ליבוביץ — _פתח־תקווד.`
- **OCR, couple 2 (same block).** `יהודה בן אברהם פרינקל . אי שמ אסתר בה משד, ליבובי`
- **Reading.** Format "FIRST בן/בת FATHER SURNAME — residence". Yaakov son of Moshe Blumenthal, residence Ein Ganim, Petah Tikva ("_גגים" is גנים), registers with "צרים" (OCR for מרים), daughter of Moshe Leibovitz, Petah Tikva. Couple 2: Yehuda son of Avraham Frenkel, residence "אי שם" (the soldier's residence; it belongs to this groom, not to Yaakov), and Esther ("בה" is בת, "משד" is משה, the surname is cut at "ליבובי"), daughter of Moshe L[eibovitz], Petah Tikva (the closing line reads "פתח־תקווה").
- **What it adds.** (a) A printed registration 19 days before the wedding date on the certificate (27.10.1948), at the same rabbinate. (b) Both fathers are named Moshe, as on the certificate; the epithets "הלוי" and "בן ציון" are not printed. (c) Yaakov's residence is Ein Ganim, Petah Tikva, the neighbourhood of his brother Yitzhak (Ein Ganim 49 in the voters' list of 1949; Yaakov report 4.3); the certificate gives "אי שם", a soldier's residence, so the two sources differ and the notice shows the home address. (d) A second bride, Esther bat Moshe Leibovitz, registers in the same block on the same day: a lead for a sister (B-3). Not added: ages, occupations, origin, mothers' names.
- **Grade.** Text מאומת. That the couple is the certificate couple: **כמעט ודאי** (given names, fathers' names, rabbinate, city and date window agree; no printed age contradicts). That Esther is Miriam's sister: **ככל הנראה** (טעון אימות).
- **Found by.** Q-84, Q-136, Q-134, Q-83, Q-76, Q-72, Q-137. Missed by every adjacency query of the form `"מרים ליבוביץ"` (Q-1, Q-4) and `"יעקב בלומנטל"` (Q-43 to Q-46) because the list prints בן/בת and the father's name between the names.

### B-2. `hzh19520821-01.2.56` — Yehuda Blumenthal, son of Moshe Ben-Zion (NEW; near-certain for the family)
- **Where.** HaTsofeh, 21.8.1952, 427 words; the block of registrations at the Petah Tikva rabbinate (OCR heading "־כמשדדיהדכנות פתה. תקוה").
- **OCR.** `יהודה 'בלומנטל בן משה בן ציון. י רוק, פ יי ת!עטרה י קרינדל בת שלמה שלזינגר`
- **Reading.** Yehuda Blumenthal, son of Moshe Ben-Zion, bachelor ("רוק"), Petah Tikva ("פ יי ת"), registers to marry Atara Krindel, daughter of Shlomo Schlesinger, spinster, residence "חזורעים" as printed.
- **What it adds.** The patronymic "משה בן ציון", the form on Yaakov's certificate, printed for a Yehuda of Petah Tikva in August 1952: the brother Yehuda of the witness pages (1956, Petah Tikva); a marriage date (registration 21.8.1952) and a wife's name. It does not name Yaakov.
- **Grade.** Text מאומת. That this Yehuda is Yaakov's brother: **כמעט ודאי** (a rare double patronymic with the same surname, Petah Tikva, a brother of that name in the project; no age printed).
- **Found by.** Q-57, Q-60, Q-62, Q-79.

### B-3. `lakkarov19460822-01.2.2` — Nechama (21) and Esther (28), children of Moshe and "Frimam", Hungary (NEW; probable as to the family)
- **Where.** Lakrov Velarahok 22.8.1946, "מעפילי 'החייל העברי' ו'הגנה' שהועברו למחנה עתלית" (4,453 words). One alphabetical list "surname, first name, age, parents (father mother), country letter" (ה Hungary, ר Romania). The text is truncated in the מ-block (letters נ–ת absent); the Next id is a relatives list, so the continuation was not located.
- **OCR.** `לייבוביץ נחמה 21 משה פרימאם ה לייבוביץ אסתר 28 משה פרימאם ה ליבוביץ דויד 20 משה בארסה ר`
- **Reading.** Nechama, 21, and Esther, 28, children of Moshe and a mother printed "פרימאם", from Hungary. The third entry (David, 20, Moshe and "בארסה", Romania) is another family, adjacent only by the alphabet.
- **What it adds.** (a) The same two first names as the certificate's parents, Moshe and Frimet ("פרימט"; the Yad Vashem pages of 1957 print it "Fri'ma"). (b) Hungary. (c) Two daughters unknown to the project. (d) An Esther bat Moshe Leibovitz of Petah Tikva registers with Miriam in B-1. (e) If both are children of the Balassagyarmat couple: the children the project names (Avraham Aharon, Shimon, Manó, Magda, Lili; Rose of Budapest is only a possible sister) are five, and with Esther and Nechama seven; the Yad Vashem pages say seven (1957) and eight (2000).
- **Not on this list.** Miriam and Magda: the ל-block is present in the fetched text (12 Leibovitz entries and one garbled "לבובה") and has neither.
- **Readings.** (i) Esther and Nechama are Miriam's sisters. (ii) Nechama is Miriam under another given name (b. 1924/25 against the voters' list 1925 and the certificate's 22 in October 1948, i.e. 1925/26). (iii) An unrelated family of Moshe and Frima: the weakest, because the phrase `"משה פרימאם"` finds only this section in 1944–1952.
- **Grade.** Text מאומת. That Esther and Nechama are children of the project's Moshe and Frimet: **ככל הנראה**. That the Esther of this list is the Esther of B-1: **אפשר ש… (טעון אימות)**. That Nechama is Miriam: **אפשר ש… (טעון אימות)**.
- **Found by.** Q-138, Q-140, Q-142; co-occurrence in Q-106 and Q-108. Missed by `"לייבוביץ מרים"` because Miriam is not on the list.

### B-4. `lakkarov19460519-01.2.3` — "לייבו מרים 1925" on the Max Nordau list (NEW; possible)
- **Where.** Lakrov 19.5.1946, "הוצאה מיוחדת" (3,543 words): letters ה–ש of the list of the 1,754 ma'apilim of "Max Nordau" (Smyrna), collected in Romania, left Constanța 7.5.1946, entered Haifa 14.5.1946 (page 1 of the list: `lakkarov19460519-01.2.2`). Entries give surname, first name and birth year or age; no parents, no country letter.
- **OCR.** `לאבל טובה •״ 1923 לייבו מרים 1925 לייבו לבגד, 1930 לאזר יואל 1919`
- **Also in the section.** `לייבוביץ טאגדו 1924 י` ("טאגדו" is the OCR of מאגדה) and `לייבוביץ מרים י 1932` (a child b. 1932 in a family with children b. 1931 and 1939).
- **Reading.** A Miriam b. 1925 whose surname is cut to "לייבו" (the next entry, "לבגד" b. 1930, has the same cut). The cut is why the phrase `"לייבוביץ מרים"` misses her; `"לייבו מרים"` (Q-219) finds only this section.
- **Circumstantial item.** `hegeh19460701-01.2.35` (HaGeh, 1.7.1946): letters waiting at the Hitachdut Olei Romania, Tel Aviv: `…ליבוביץ שמואל דוד; … ליבוביץ מרים; פרידמן אברהם…` (names only), six weeks after the Max Nordau landing.
- **Why it matters, and why it is weak.** Year 1925 equals the voters' list. Against: the voyage started in Romania, there are no parents and no country, and the "Magda 1924" of the same section is probably the Magda b. 30.12.1924 of Bătarci already excluded in the project (`../arolsen/lebowicz_magda_1924_postwar/`), not the Magda b. 20.1.1922.
- **Grade.** Text מאומת. That this Miriam is our Miriam: **אפשר ש… (טעון אימות)**.

### B-5. Michael Blumenthal in two Lakrov sections, January–February 1947 (NEW; possible)
- **`lakkarov19470109-01.2.3`** (9.1.1947, "עולי קפריסין שהגיעו בעתלית", 617 words, names only, two per printed row). OCR: `בארקוביצ׳י יצחק; בלומנטאל מיכאל ד בראון ישעיהו;` A Michael Blumenthal among the Cyprus arrivals at Atlit.
- **`lakkarov19470206-01.2.3`** (6.2.1947, "פנה למדור לחיפוש קרובים בחיפה"; entries "name (seeker) file-no."). OCR: `בלומנטאל איגנאץ־יאנו (מיכאל בלומנטאל) 4868` Michael Blumenthal seeks "Ignác-Jenő Blumenthal" (file 4868).
- **Reading.** The Hungarian forms Ignác and Jenő; the hyphen joins two given names and the index treats it as one token. Neither entry gives a father, a town or an age.
- **Why it matters.** The Nógrád archive book lists Ignác (b. 1919, "probably settled in Israel after the war"), Jenő (b. 1922, survived, crossed the border 23.5.1945) and Miklós (b. 1926), whom the book identifies with the "Michael" of the witness page (Yaakov report 4.8). The two entries are four weeks apart.
- **Grade.** Text מאומת. That the Michael of these entries is Yaakov's brother and "Ignác-Jenő" one or two of the Nógrád brothers: **אפשר ש… (טעון אימות)** (names only; Blumenthal is common).
- **Found by.** Q-93, Q-100, Q-101, Q-102; Q-254 is an adjacency artefact on the same section.

### B-6. Magda candidates in the Hungarian lists (NEW; weak or pointing away)
| Section | OCR | Reading | Grade |
|---|---|---|---|
| `lakkarov19451122-01.2.24` (22.11.1945, "WALDHAUS 2", Hungarian women, Latin script, 491 words) | `LEBOVITS Iren 1925, Galocas LEBOVITS Magda 1924, Budapest LEHRER Edit 1928` | A Magda b. 1924 of Budapest among surviving women; the same list has "HEKS Ferencne 1918, Balassagyarmat", which is why the town query matched | **אפשר ש… (טעון אימות)**, weak: 1924 against 20.1.1922; Budapest fits the Budapest relative; no parents, no camp |
| `lakkarov19451206-01.2.27` (6.12.1945, Kaunitz) | `LEBOVITS Cecilia 1920, Marmarosdombo. LEBOVITS Magda 1927, Magyarpeterd.` | b. 1927, Magyarpéterd | **נשלל** (year and town) |
| `ujk19491229-01.2.6` (29.12.1949, Hitachdut Olei Hungaria notice, 415 words) | `2. Lebovics Joszéf Jenő. Bászisz Imunim 3 (Lebovits Magda 292)` | Persons in Israel are called to the Tel Aviv district office of the Aliyah Ministry about a file for a relative in Hungary; in parentheses, the relative and the file number. József Jenő Lebovics (a soldier's address) is the sponsor of a "Lebovits Magda", file 292 | Points against Miriam = Magda (Miriam was married in Petah Tikva from October 1948), but this Magda may be any Lebovits Magda: **לא הוכרע** |
| HASAG-Altenburg lists, `lakkarov19450712-01.2.13` (435 names) and `lakkarov19450802-01.2.19` (245 names) | no Lebovits Magda in either | Altenburg is the Magda b. 1922's camp (Miriam report 4.2) | A name missing from a partial printed list is not a negative |

### B-7. Weak leads for Yaakov's siblings and in-laws (NEW; לא הוכרע)
| Section | OCR | Reading | Why weak |
|---|---|---|---|
| `hzh19461224-01.2.61.1` (24.12.1946, advertisement page; block "נרשמו לנשואין אצל הרבנות הראשית בפתח תקוה") | `אהרן בן בנימין 'אב בלומנטל פתה תקרת & אלד?בת שמואל-הקש פ-תה תקוה` | Aharon son of Binyamin [Ze'ev?] Blumenthal, Petah Tikva (the stray "'אב" may be a damaged "זאב"); the same block lists residents of Ein Ganim | No Aharon among the twelve names of the archive book; "Binyamin" is the Hebrew counterpart of "Benő", the civil name of the Nógrád father, but every other record prints "Moshe" |
| `hzh19460808-01.2.30` (8.8.1946, Tel Aviv list) | `יונה בת משה בלומנטאל ת"א` | Yona daughter of Moshe Blumenthal, Tel Aviv, bride | Tel Aviv; no Yona among the twelve names |
| `hzh19480909-01.2.10` (9.9.1948, news) | `החיילים אליעזר בלומנטאל ושמעון מנהיים שנתמנו על ידי קצין הדת החטיבתי לשמור על כשרות המטבח` | Eliezer Blumenthal, a soldier of a religious company of the Alexandroni Brigade, refusing to cook on the Sabbath | A soldier's name only; no Eliezer among the twelve |
| Gombo: `lakkarov19460822-01.2.2` | `גרינבוים יוכבד 22 יוסף יהודית ר גומבו חיה 20 אליעזר פריידל ה` | Gombo Haya, 20, parents Eliezer and Freidel, Hungary (the Atlit list of B-3) | Rivka Gombo is Yaakov's sister; no link between the two Gombo records and the Blumenthals |
| Gombo: `hzh19500214-01.2.37` (14.2.1950) | `זהבה בת אליעזר גומבו פתה הקוה` | Zehava daughter of Eliezer Gombo, Petah Tikva, bride (registration at the Petah Tikva rabbinate) | same |

### B-8. Weak leads in the surname Leibovitz: other children of a Moshe Leibovitz, 1950–1952 (NEW; לא הוכרע)

|---|---|---|---|

## E. Not done, blockers and follow-ups

**Blockers.** None: the canary passed and no query failed.

**Not done in JPress.**
1. Page images are locked; OCR only.
2. Lakrov Velarahok covers 28.6.1945 – 17.9.1947 only.
3. Lakrov sections not read. The AND queries Q-105 to Q-110 return sections where the two words occur anywhere (110, 10, 36, 6, 2, 7 sections); only 5 per query were listed, and the listed ones still unread are `lakkarov19451206-01.2.2`, `lakkarov19460207-01.2.29`, `lakkarov19451227-01.2.2`, `lakkarov19450920-01.2.21`, `lakkarov19451122-01.2.3`, `lakkarov19460110-01.2.20`, `lakkarov19451227-01.2.12`, `lakkarov19451101-01.2.2`, `lakkarov19450823-01.2.25`, `lakkarov19460221-01.2.14`, `lakkarov19460418-01.2.10`. The adjacency forms (Q-2, Q-3, Q-8, Q-10, Q-219) are complete.
4. Continuations not fetched: the Atlit list of 22.8.1946 after the מ-block; `lakkarov19470917-01.2.3.1`; the part of `lakkarov19460331-01.2.2` after the letter ו (no ל names are present before it).
5. Recall limits of the OCR: surnames cut or damaged ("לייבו", "ייבוביץ", "ל־יבוביץ"), hyphenated names as one token, apostrophes; Leibovitz is a very common surname. The delegated scans count tokens by prefix; an entry whose first letters are damaged escapes them.
6. Latin script and Uj Kelet. `Lebovits` (Q-184): 74 hits; 40 listed (date order, up to 23.10.1949), of which 6 were read and 34 were not; 34 further hits (after 23.10.1949) are not listed. `Lebovics` (Q-183): 19 hits, 3 read, 15 unread (`egy19440302-01.2.19.1`, `lakkarov19450726-01.2.12`, `lakkarov19450802-01.2.16`, `refadv19450803-01.2.13`, `cgs19450809-01.2.28`, `lakkarov19451011-01.2.13`, `lakkarov19451122-01.2.19`, `lakkarov19451206-01.2.14`, `lakkarov19451206-01.2.28`, `lakkarov19460117-01.2.13`, `lakkarov19460117-01.2.17`, `tjm19461003-01.2.23.1`, `ujk19490527-01.2.19`, `ujk19491014-01.2.33.4`, `ujk19510211-01.2.20.4`) and 1 hidden PAGE hit. `Blumenthal` in Uj Kelet (Q-197): 7 of 15 unread (`ujk19510306-01.2.25`, `ujk19510807-01.2.21.2`, `ujk19510812-01.2.18.1`, `ujk19510907-01.2.16`, `ujk19511021-01.2.21.1`, `ujk19511231-01.2.22`, `ujk19520318-01.2.18.1`). Hidden PAGE hits (ids not shown, not openable): Balassagyarmat 1, Lebovics 1, Lebovits 3, Lebovits Tikva 1, Altenburg 2, Nograd 1, Blumenthal Miriam 1. The adjacency queries for the family's names (Q-170, Q-175 to Q-182, Q-188 to Q-196, Q-206, Q-207, Q-234 to Q-249) are complete.
7. Not searched: Shimon and Manó (names too common without an anchor), Yaakov's sisters other than Rivka, and Davar's and Haaretz's registration lists beyond what the surname queries reached. The four HaTsofeh lists headed "נישואין" (23.9, 17.10, 15.11 and 15.12.1948) were not opened; they do not contain `בלומנטאל`, and Leibovitz was not tested in them.
8. Hebrew-spelled Balassagyarmat and Nógrádbercel queries return 0 or noise; the town appears in this sweep only in Latin script.

**Follow-ups outside JPress, suggested by the findings.**
- B-3: the Atlit immigrants index (IGRA) and the Israel State Archives for Esther Leibovitz (b. about 1918) and Nechama Leibovitz (b. about 1925), parents Moshe and Frima, Hungary, August 1946; the voters' list of 1949, Petah Tikva, for both; whether Avraham Aharon's pages of 2000 name them among the eight children.
- B-1: the Petah Tikva rabbinate file for Esther Leibovitz and Yehuda Frenkel (October 1948), which may give her age and mother.
- B-5: JDC and Cyprus lists for Michael and Ignác/Jenő Blumenthal, early 1947; the Zionist Archive file S6/36831 already cited in the Yaakov report.
- B-4: the passenger list of "Max Nordau" (May 1946) in the original, for the surname after "לייבו" and the town.
- B-2: the Petah Tikva rabbinate file for Yehuda Blumenthal and Atara Krindel Schlesinger (August 1952).

## Summary
The sweep (267 queries over 1944–1952, in Hebrew and in Latin script, with the OCR variants found in the entries themselves; 66 Lakrov sections, 41 "Moshe Leibovitz" hits and 137 HaTsofeh sections read through their OCR) yields six flagged findings, all new to the project.
1. **B-1.** The printed registration of Yaakov and Miriam, HaTsofeh 8.10.1948 (`hzh19481008-01.2.64`): near-certain. It gives Yaakov's residence as Ein Ganim, Petah Tikva (his brother's neighbourhood) and shows a second Petah Tikva bride, Esther bat Moshe Leibovitz, registering the same day.
2. **B-2.** The registration of Yehuda Blumenthal, "son of Moshe Ben-Zion", 21.8.1952 (`hzh19520821-01.2.56`): near-certain for the family.
3. **B-3.** An Atlit list of 22.8.1946 (`lakkarov19460822-01.2.2`) with Nechama (21) and Esther (28), children of Moshe and "Frimam" from Hungary: probably Miriam's family, and the most useful lead for the "eight children" and for the question whether Miriam is Magda. Miriam herself is not on that list.
4. **B-4.** A Miriam b. 1925 with the surname cut to "לייבו" on the Max Nordau list (`lakkarov19460519-01.2.3`): possible.
5. **B-5.** A Michael Blumenthal among the Cyprus arrivals at Atlit on 9.1.1947 and seeking "Ignác-Jenő Blumenthal" on 6.2.1947 (`lakkarov19470109-01.2.3`, `lakkarov19470206-01.2.3`): possible, with the Hungarian names of the Nógrád brothers.
6. **B-6.** The Magda candidates are weak (Waldhaus 2: Magda b. 1924, Budapest) or point away (Uj Kelet 29.12.1949: a Magda Lebovits still being brought from Hungary).

No item names Miriam as Magda, none names Yaakov among the twelve Nógrádbercel children, none gives the origin of Miriam or of Yaakov, and nothing connects the families to Nógrádbercel or Balassagyarmat; the only mother's name printed for a possible sister of Miriam is the "Frimam" of B-3. The limits in E decide how far the negatives reach: entries whose surname is cut or damaged by the OCR, sections that JPress indexes only as hidden PAGE hits, and the unread remainders of the surname-only queries in Lakrov and Uj Kelet are not covered; the exact name forms listed in A are.

## Addendum, same day: follow-up of B-1 and B-3 outside JPress
Recorded after the sweep, so that the grades above are read with what followed; the sweep's own grades are left as they were written.
- **B-1, Esther.** The marriage certificate H 99913 (Petah Tikva rabbinate, 26.10.1948; IGRA-17917-Marriages-1032, scan `../igra/marriage_cert_H99913_petah_tikva_1948-10-26_esther_leibovitz_yehuda_frenkel.jpg`) gives the bride "אסתר ליבוביץ", 32, "פועלת", "פתח תקוה, חובבי ציון 12", parents "משה הלוי ליבוביץ" and "פרימט", both dead; the groom "יהודה הלוי פרנקל", 40, soldier, "אי שם...". The bride's address and both parents' names, with "הלוי" and the spelling "פרימט", are those of Miriam's certificate H 99915 of the next day. That Esther is Miriam's sister: raised to **כמעט ודאי** (transcription: `../igra/marriage_cert_H99913_esther_leibovitz_yehuda_frenkel_transcription.md`).
- **Esther's Pages of Testimony.** Yad Vashem, submitter "אסתר פרנקל": 1646775 (Moshe Lebovicz, b. 1890 Balassagyarmat, shoemaker, wife "פני לבית וועג", Auschwitz 1944, a child aged 16 = record 8650894), 569646 (Fani, b. 1890 Budapest, daughter of Avraham and Olga), 333843 (Shimshon/Simson, b. 1914, merchant, single, died 1944 in a labour camp), all dated 6.12.1956; and 3623074 (Moshe Leibovitz, filled 3.7.1995 in Tel Aviv: "TOKAI Str", ghetto "NIRIEGE", Auschwitz). Scans and transcription: `../yadvashem-pot-esther-frenkel/`.
- **B-3.** With the certificate and the pages, the Esther of the Atlit list of 22.8.1946 (28, parents Moshe and "פרימאם", Hungary) is **ככל הנראה** the same Esther (ages differ: 28 in 1946, 32 in 1948). Nechama stays **אפשר ש… (טעון אימות)**, as a sister or as Miriam under another name.
- **IGRA, the same day.** "אסתר פרנקל": 148 records, none in Petah Tikva or Givatayim; "ליבוביץ / לייבוביץ נחמה": 20 records, none that fits: born 1904–1914 or about 1933, a child of three in the Tel Aviv census of 1928 (born there), a scholar of Jerusalem and Tel Aviv, and a name change to Shoham in Haifa, 1973, without a birth year.

### Correction and follow-up, same day (after an independent check)
- **Date.** The page 3623074 is dated "3.7.99" in the hand of the form, i.e. **3 July 1999**; the addendum above wrote 1995.
- **Three more pages of the same batch** (Yad Vashem reel 09080951_275_7040, images 208–211), filed by "אסתר ליבוביץ פרנקל" / "אסתר לייבוביץ פרנקל": 3622857 (Fani, 54, housewife, mother), 3630105 ("JANDOR" = Sándor, 20, brother) and 3575671 ("LILA", "about 17", sister) — all "NIRIEGE" ghetto, Auschwitz, spring 1944; the submitter writes her maiden name "לייבוביץ" and lives in Givatayim. Scans and transcription: `miriam-blumenthal/docs/yadvashem-pot-esther-frenkel/`.
- **B-2, re-graded.** That the Yehuda of the 1952 notice is the Yehuda of the Pages of Testimony: כמעט ודאי (his page 310307 already names the father "משה בן ציון"). That he is **Yaakov's** brother: only **ככל הנראה**, because Yaakov's own link to the family is ככל הנראה (Yaakov report, 4.4); the 1952 notice adds nothing about Yaakov.
- **B-5, reading.** "איגנאץ־יאנו" is quoted as printed; "יאנו" can be Jenő or János (Janó): in these lists א stands for a or e.
