Daniel Klatza, born May 27, 1903, at 7 Middle Street, son of Joseph [Klatza], an operative, and Mary Call, both Austrian and both residing at 7 Middle Street

[I think what happened here is this: the midwife or attendant who reported the birth to the city filled out a slip and turned it in. The clerk read "Jan" and decided it was "Dan". The family was living at 17 Middle in November 1904 when their second child was born.]
