That trade is caught in the civil register on 29 August 1833, when he stood as a witness to a Bełżyce birth — the register entering him as "**Manas Winer, painter, aged twenty-six**," a resident of Bełżyce, and carrying his signature beside the record.[^painter] A Jewish house-painter or decorator was an ordinary but distinct town livelihood, and it fixes Manas, at twenty-six, as a settled tradesman of the community his family had lived in for three generations. He married [[Ruchla Tenenbaum (b.1798)]], and together they raised a large Bełżyce family: [[Chaja Etta Winer (b.1827)]], [[Perla Zlota Winer (b.1830)]], [[Frajda Winer (b.1833)]], [[Chawa Winer (b.1835)]], [[Moszek Lejb Winer (b.1836)]], [[Szajndla Winer (b.1839)]] and [[Mordka Winer (b.1842)]].[^family] He died in Bełżyce on 13 November 1854, still a fairly young man of about forty-seven, ten of whose earliest recorded years are marked only by the births of his children.[^death] [^parents]: Son of [[Chaim Winer (b.1775)]] and his first wife [[Chawa Lax (b.1781)]] (GEDCOM/MyHeritage; consistent with his birth in Bełżyce ~1807–1809). Born [[Bełżyce]]. [^painter]: Birth record of Wolf Jonas Rayss, Bełżyce 1833, akt No. 43 (read directly from the full-resolution scan; Polish). Dated 29 August 1833: among the witnesses is "**Manasa Winer Malarza lat Dwadzieścia Sześć**" — Manas Winer, painter (*malarz*), aged 26, resident of Bełżyce — who signs the act ("Manas Winer," with a Hebrew signature). Fixes both his occupation and his ~1807 birth.

Grounds his occupation (*malarz*) and ~1807 birth. Image in Evidence. - Direct line: [[Uszer Winer (b.1740)]] → [[Chaim Winer (b.1775)]] → **Manas** → [[Moszek Lejb Winer (b.1836)]] (the next direct-line son) → … → Ozzy. ## Evidence - **1833 Bełżyce birth act (Wolf Jonas Rayss, akt 43) — Manas Winer as "Malarz [painter], aged 26."** He witnesses and signs.

A birth act (Bełżyce ~1807) would settle it. - **His own marriage act** to [[Ruchla Tenenbaum (b.1798)]] (Ruchla is ~9 years older) not yet located/read. - Other records naming him as *malarz* (or his death act, 1854) to read.
