## Research
*(your reasoning — preserved across every rebuild)*
## Evidence
- **Mętów liquidation table (Dec 1870) — landholder.** Household **2** of the *tabela likwidacyjna* for selenie **Mętów** (Lublin uezd, gmina Głusk) is recorded as **"Рохвертъ Іосифъ" (Rochwerg Josef)** — this profile. He held an enfranchised plot (~16 morgi) as one of only three Jewish householders in the village (all Rochwerg); his brother [[Ajzyk Rochwerg (b.1841)]] held hh 23 and their father Wolf Rochwerg held hh 29. Confirms Josef's residence and landholding in Mętów by 1870 (consistent with his children born there from 1859).

## Open questions
- **Father Wolf Rochwerg held Mętów plot hh 29 (1870) — no vault profile.** The same table records **"Рохвертъ Вульфъ" (Rochwerg Wolf)** at household **29** (~1 morg 22 pręty) — this is the Rochwerg patriarch, father of Josef and [[Ajzyk Rochwerg (b.1841)]], currently present in the vault only as an unlinked "Wolf Rochwerg" parent reference. Consider creating a profile for him; this table places him as a Mętów landholder in 1870.
