How we know

The three indexes of his baptism give born 20 Aug 1882, 20 Aug 1881 and 20 May 1882 (see Research Notes). The place is the parish of baptism.

Two of the three indexes give 20 Aug, and two give 1882. A birth in Aug 1881 is ruled out, as his sister Klara Meta was born on 29 Dec 1880. 20 Aug 1882 is preferred until the image is read.
