Devorah Klein

דבורה
דבורה · family nickname Dinko · daughter of Avraham Chaim HaKohen · Bas Kohen · matzeiva photographed v3.61

Identity corrected v3.61 from matzeiva inscription. Earlier site copy named her "Dinko Schoenberg, likely Dincha / Dina" — that attribution was secondhand family memory and the surname "Schoenberg" is not borne out by the stone. The matzeiva (photographed v3.61, Gallery Era ii) names her formally as Devorah (דבורה), daughter of our master Avraham Chaim כ״ץ (where כ״ץ = Kohen Tzedek, the standard Ashkenazi tombstone abbreviation marking priestly status — not a surname), and wife of our master Yitzchok Yosef [Klein]. Dinko is preserved here as her family nickname per Tatty's recollection — Hungarian/Yiddish nicknames in this region didn't always linguistically tidy from the formal name. This makes Devorah a Bas Kohen by birth — meaning the Kohen × Bas Kohen pattern in the Klein male line goes back at least one more generation than v3.60 reflected. See the Kohanim section (— III —) for the full three-generation pattern. Birth year and parents' other details not yet documented; the stone says her father "died/rests in the Holy Land" — see the Avraham Chaim card below for that open question.
