Thanks for your reply, Jan
yes, I can see a couple of children and it might be the case that the first
marriage happend somewhere else. But then Julius Scherfer/Schärfer settled in
Jamki (agrarian), had a lot children and the second and third wife brought
their own children into the family. The question is: Is the list of marriages
seen at ODESSA expected to be (more or less) complete?
