Izak Jozef (Joe) MINTZ

Abt 1901 - Yes, date unknown

• Name	Izak Jozef (Joe) MINTZ
  Nickname	Joe
  Born	Abt 1901	Grebow, Galicia, Poland (formerly Austria)
  	On his ship record, he gave his age as 17 in July 1920 (with DOB abt 1903). However, the record for his Detroit border crossing in July 1931 states his age at that time as 29 years 7 months. Also, his surname was listed both as Mintz and as Seibel (his mother's maiden name), suggesting that he had a birth record/certificate from Grebow, Poland (Austria at the time), where Jewish marriages were not recognized by the civil authorities and Jewish children had to take their mother's maiden name for civil legal purposes. He most likely made himself younger for the ship passage to purchase a cheaper ticket if under age 18.
