From our research
- Geni records her as "Regine Nahmani (Mizrahi)", mother of Ilan and Tsila: Régine was very likely her French birth name in Alexandria, Aviva her Hebrew name (to confirm with family)
- Geni also has a duplicate "Aviva Mizrahi" listed as her own sister (two relatives entered her separately)
