More Schwarzküchel relatives in the Tarnow area

Recently-added Tarnow birth records on Ancestry include 3 Schwarzküchel siblings, born between 1853-1863, with parents Moses & Chana, and 1 Schwarzküchel child born 1860, with parents Markus & Beile, as shown below.

In bold near topI've "penciled in" for consideration our family, given Gitel's Kataya birthplace about 10 miles east of Tarnow - plus predicted 3rd cousin DNA match on MyHeritage, descendant of Moses > Schia Wolf > Solomon > Emanuel b.1914 Brooklyn.

In bold at bottom, I've "penciled in" for consideration the family of predicted 4th cousin DNA match on Ancestry, descendant of Abraham > Benjamin b.1931.

With impreciseness of DNA, either or both of the families in bold could instead descend from Markus & Beile, or perhaps an unknown other brother in the area.  Among the 1940-1941 Kraków ghetto records also on Ancestry, are other Schwarzküchels born between 1883-1901, who I've not been able to connect up.  Perhaps with more DNA matches and trees ...
