Note that *3 is PRESUMED to be sibling to the others. In addition to the fact that all the others have "Movsha" as the father's name, Ray Davis observes that (according to a great granddaughter of Getzel BAER, above), Getzel's son (Morris BAER) used to talk about his (or his father's?) "Uncle Benjamin BAER." For Benjamin BAER, above, to be Getzel's uncle, Benjamin would have to be a brother of Getzel's father, Samuel BAER, above. Further, it appears that Maurice Balser (nephew of Ida BALSER and Getzel BAER) always referred to Benjamin Baer as "Uncle," which he may have done perhaps because Maurice's Uncle Getzel's uncle was Benjamin BAER.
Note also that there may be another sibling (#6?), since the 1904 Lygumai tax list includes "Matis, son (or daugh.?, though doubtful) of Movsha".
Note finally that Ray Davis's Uncle Aaron BAER told him that his (Aaron's) father (Simon, son of Benjamin Abraham BAER, above) used to tell him that the LEGUMs, who owned Park Circle Chevrolet in Baltimore, were their cousins but his father didn't elaborate on exactly what the connection was.
