Maurice was the uncle of Leonard.
Sigmund was Leonards father and Maurice’s brother.

Many years ago, I inherited a copy of the Vedic Concordance by Maurice Bloomfield from a retiring colleague of mine at Michigan. In his handwriting, Maurice Bloomfield gifted this book to his brother Sigmund Bloomfield, but the copy came to my colleague from the library of Leonard Bloomfield. Was Sigmund the third brother?
