It could not have been later than that. It might, however, have been earlier. Allowing for the uncertainties of the times, of the lack of [[Wikipedia:civil registry|records]], of the [[Wikipedia:Hebrew calendar|Jewish]] and [[Wikipedia:Julian calendar|Julian calendar]]s, it might have been as early as October 4, 1919. There is, however, no way of finding out. My parents were always uncertain and it really doesn't matter. I celebrate January 2, 1920, so let it be.}}</ref>
