1879 Plock Death Record, Akta 3 Meier Toronczyk (Миеръ Торунчикъ): lists his kids: Liba-Chaya: Либу-Хаю
note that Russian is an inflected language and the nominative form of the name would be Либа-Хая.
this document also mentions a sister Glika, my great grandmother, and a brother Leyzer Wolf.
It also mentions Malka Zilberberg, the widow, who may or may not be mother to Liba-Chaya or the others.
January 20, 1879: Plock Death Meir Toruńczyk Akta 3, image 1298, roll 1733679. Russian language.
Meier Toronczyk (Миеръ Торунчикъ): lists his kids: Leyzer Wolf, Liba-Chaya, and Glicka, my great grandmother..
It also mentions Malka Zilberberg, the widow and per the Ozorków Book of Residents, the mother of the kids.
December 7, 1918: Joseph Bromberg Marriage Certificate lists his mother as Lena Thoner.
January 30, 1927: Philip Bromberg Marriage Certificate lists his mother as Liba Thorner.
Success at Last!

this is an excellent account of Fay's discovery of her Torunczyk roots
It would be terrific to add the death certificates of Liba's kids who died in US.
