Her age at death ("45") back-dates a birth to roughly 1790; the year is an estimate carried from that single record rather than a documented birth. Nothing survives here of her own birthplace or childhood, and the profile is flagged provisional (a placeholder identity). She was the wife of [[Wolf Hamer (b.1772)]], described in the record as a son of Szymon. She was likely Wolf's *second* wife: an earlier wife, Mindla, was the mother of his son Moszek Mordko, and Blima — only about fourteen when Moszek Mordko would have been born — is unlikely to have been his mother.[?] A 1820 birth record for a daughter, Cypy (Cypa) Hamer, names the parents as Wolf son of Szymon and Blima daughter of Wolf, which would place Mindla's death before 1820 and Blima's marriage to Wolf by that year. The couple's daughter Frymet Hamer is named in the death record as surviving her mother; the vault links Blima to [[PLACEHOLDER Cypa Hamer (b.1820)]] and [[Frymet Hamer]] as children. The family lived in Piaski, a small town in the Lublin region that had by the early 19th century become predominantly a settlement of its influx-driven community — eventually about two-thirds of the town's population — under Congress Poland after 1815 (Wikipedia, "Piaski"). Blima is recorded there as a day-labourer ("wyrobnica"), a poor working position rather than a trade — a detail her own death record supplies about her, not merely her husband's standing. She died in Piaski on 13 February 1836, at about seven in the morning, aged 45. Her death was reported the next day, 14 February, by her husband Wulf (Wolf) Hamer — himself then about 66 and described as an inspector — together with a neighbour, Boruch Fersztand, a 27-year-old sexton; the register notes that the first declarant was the deceased's husband and the second a neighbour, and that Wolf signed with a Hebrew mark (1836 death record, akta 7 [needs browser pass]). A margin notation on the record was not fully legible to the transcriber and remains unread. ## Research *(your reasoning — preserved across every rebuild)* ## Evidence ## Open questions - **Additional MyHeritage-bio scan leads (not yet read/incorporated; preserved 2026-07-06):** [Death record (akta 7)](https://legacy.jri-poland.org/databases/psa_image2.php?urldir=35/1765/0/1/48&jpgpage=73)
