No source consulted documents a notable, organized Jewish community (kehilla, synagogue, or recorded Jewish population) for any single Konopnica. Because the identification is genuinely ambiguous and no community-level Jewish history could be confirmed, Hebrew/Yiddish names and coordinates are left empty rather than guessed. <small>Sources: https://bloodandfrogs.com/compendium/poland/lublin/konopnica</small> ## People with events here | Person | Event | | --- | --- | | [[Moszek Lejzor Friedman (b.1837)]] | Born 04/21/1837 | | [[Szmul Dawid Friedman (b.1839)]] | Born 12/15/1839 | | [[Gierszon Friedman (b.1843)]] | Born 02/16/1843 | | [[Icek Berek Friedman (b.1844)]] | Born 03/22/1844 | | [[Gierszon Friedman (b.1846)]] | Born 09/03/1846 | | [[Majer Wolf Friedman (b.1845) (2)]] | Died 01/01/1848 | | [[Golda Zlota Friedman (b.1849)]] | Born 07/28/1849 | | [[Szaja Lejb Friedman (b.1851)]] | Born 1851 |
