About Ruff: In the 1898 Directory there is Dobe Ruff a midwife (Hebamme in German) . My late cousin's - Manfred (Fredy) Wachtel (born 1922) - Birth Certificate is signed by a midwife whose name is Esther Ruff. The Ruff family had a branch in Storozhinetz. One of their descendants - Menachem Ruff - lives in Petach-Tikwa, Israel.
