  • Sources 
    1. [S2] Birth certificate, Registation district Varaklani female birth no. 24 /1875 (Reliability: 2).
      I do not have the actual birth certificate but the register shows the following:-

      Surname ZERDIN
      Given name Enta
      Place Varaklani
      Year 1875
      Date 12 August
      Father's name Leib
      Father's patronymic Yankel
      Mother's first name Feiga
      Place of origin Dunaburg
      Athough I have two other sources giving Jenta's date and place of birth it is my opinion that this is the most likely to be the correct information.
