[APG Public List] Help with Polish record

[CL Swope]

Thank you, Stephen! Is there any understanding you can give of the 
reason her own mother's maiden name was used in the last of her own 
children's birth records? ..that is, that she was named  Dwoja z d. 
Goldfarb (not Pomeranz as in her other children's) therein? Is there an 
historical antecedent for that kind of entry?  Her marriage record 
clearly shows this woman daughter of father Salomon Pomeranz and mother 
Sara Goldfarb. Her birth record lists her the daughter of Salomon 
Pomeranz and Sura (listed under surname in what might be an error for 
placement in transcription and perhaps actually referring to the 
mother's given name). I'm wondering if there was an establishing of 
Dworja's Jewish line through mother involved in the decision or some 
other understood historical practice for the one aberrant entry giving 
her as 'z d. Goldfarb'.
