Reliability and limits
Contemporary obituary reports Rubin Milton Silverstein's 31 March 2011 death in Atlanta, age 90, and identifies Edith as his wife. Names of living relatives were not transcribed into canonical records. Ancestry contained two byte-identical listings; one local file was retained and the duplicate mapping is preserved in the private manifest.
Supported discoveries
Rubin Milton Silverstein's contemporary obituary directly identifies Edith Silverstein as his wife. S-027's certified death record names Mrs. Max Wortsman as Auguste's daughter; related file correspondence explicitly calls Cecilie Wortsman nee Saalfeld the daughter of Auguste and Ignatz, strengthening the first parent-child link. S-028 independently repeats that relationship in Auguste's signed application and counsel's family submissions. The remaining links in this composite chain are strongly supported by the existing family and published evidence, but S-027's Cunard confirmation describes the Wortsmann children only by age and does not name Edith.
A contemporary Atlanta obituary reports the 31 March 2011 death and age 90; the headstone and Samuel Silverstein's 1926 naturalization petition give 2 January 1921. Samuel's 1933 petition instead gives 2 January 1920, so the death date is confirmed but the birth year remains explicitly disputed.
