    Although some information about the Leibovitz and Sohn families is incorrect, enough information is correct to confirm that this is the right family. The families are living at 1215 Independence Ave, which is where Esther Leah and Dorothy were living in their 1941 naturalization records and where Joseph Leibovitz was living in his WWII draft registration card. Alica Leibovitz is actually Rebecca. Alice Leibovitz is actually Albert. Rebecca Sohn is actually Esther Leah. Hyman Sohn is actually Herman.
