Simon Waters; names changes, birthday irregularities, patronymic surnames and changing documentation of parents names.

Simon Waters is Adeline Kadetsky's son from her first marriage to Joseph Wasserzug. Adeline's marriage 12/7/1884 certificate to Joseph Wasserzug in Manhattan, NY indicates that her parents' names were Isaac Yishai and Bluma Jacobs. This is the earliest record of her parents and therefore is likely to most the accurate as opposed to her death certificate and gravestone which she did not supply the information for. On her marriage registration to Israel Hymoff, her parents are listed as lists parents name as Simon Zettock and Rosie Jacoboff. Her death certificate, 12/25/1918 lists her parents as Isaac Kadetsky and Bloomie Jackson. Abraham Joseph Kadetsky and Adeline Hymoff's gravestones record their father's names as Yitzchak Yehoshua on Adeline's and Yitzchak Hoshaya on Abraham's. In my family there are several ealry generations with the name Shaya Aziel. There is no name in judaism of Aziel. Aziel is likely to be a bastardization of Isaac.
