note on the very unusual Yiddish first name -- perhaps because she was sick as a young child. 





 



















Ganendel (often spelled Genendel, Ginendel, or Gnendel, in Yiddish: גענענדל) is a traditional Ashkenazi Jewish women’s name. It originates from an Old High German root meaning "old woman" or "grandmother," and was traditionally used as an amuletic name to wish a child a long, full life
