  1. ^ Date of birth was September 30, 1896, although most sources cite September 29; September 30 date and her name at birth as "Janka" not "Jansci" are supported by her birth certificate (see image)"The Hungarian-Jewish Family Tree of Zsa Zsa Gabor". nickmgombash.blogspot.ro. April 2012.
  2. ^ Some sources have incorrectly indicated 1894, such as Dictionary of Women Worldwide. 25,000 women through the ages (3 volumes; edited by Anne Commire). Waterford, CT: Yorkin Publications, 2007.[ISBN missing]
