Reliability and limits

Contemporary obituary names Josephine Stone and Melita Levy as sisters. The Josephine identity bridge is now independently resolved by S-065, S-069, and S-070; the separate Melita identity claim remains under RQ-005.

Supported discoveries

Josephine Einstein Schwarzschild later used the surname Stone in San Francisco.

Josephine's federal naturalization file carries the same Stuttgart birth date and 1909 Schwarzschild marriage, records her lawful entry under Josephine Einstein Schwarzschild, and contains both her Schwarzschild oath signature and the court order changing her name to Josephine Stone. The 1950 census then places Josephine Stone as sister of Melita Levy and Ludwig Einstein, and the California death index preserves her exact birth date and her mother's maiden name as Schweitzer. These independent records satisfy the identity bridge.

Confirmed
The Melita Levy living at 3897 Clay Street in San Francisco with siblings Ludwig Einstein and Josephine Stone in 1950 was Auguste Einstein Saalfeld's sister Melita Einstein.

Auguste's 1965 obituary names Josephine Stone and Melita Levy as her sisters. The 1950 census directly places Melita Levy with her brother Ludwig Einstein and her sister Josephine Stone at 3897 Clay Street. Josephine's federal naturalization file preserves her Stuttgart birth date, Einstein Schwarzschild entry name, and court-ordered Stone surname; her California death index independently preserves the same birth date and her mother's maiden name as Schweitzer. Together these records provide the direct identity bridge required by RQ-005.
