Thanks for sharing with me. I'm not actively researching this branch of the family now, but I'm posting this to my website so that other researchers can gain from your findings (and maybe someone will add it to Geni). Much appreciated.
Dear Reuven Chaim,
I'm the research assistant of a direct descendant of Naftule Seidenfeld of Munkacs through his son Yeshaya.
You may know Moishe Miller's page 'The Yakov Eliezer Reiter Family' - it cites Efraim Fishel Seidenfeld's 1892 Munkacs marriage record as naming his mother 'Rochel Leah Uri.'
We have now read the original register page. The book is DAZkO Fond 1606, Opis 16, Delo 55 (the archive's stamp is on the cover - the fond is 1606, not 1601), and record 14, June 5, 1892, gives the groom's parents as 'Nathan, Reiter Rachel' - Reiter, not Uri. His bride Pepi Perlmutter's mother is written as a Reiter of Tass as well.
The register is scanned free on Wikimedia Commons; the page images are attached. https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:%D0%94%D0%90%D0%97%D0%9E_1606-16-55._1892_%D1%80%D1%96%D0%BA._%D0%9C%D0%B5%D1%82%D1%80%D0%B8%D1%87%D0%BD%D0%B0_%D0%BA%D0%BD%D0%B8%D0%B3%D0%B0_%D1%94%D0%B2%D1%80%D0%B5%D1%97%D0%B2_%D0%9C%D1%83%D0%BA%D0%B0%D1%87%D0%B5%D0%B2%D0%BE._%D0%9E%D0%B4%D1%80%D1%83%D0%B6%D0%B5%D0%BD%D0%BD%D1%8F.pdf
We thought you would want to know, since your page is the source so many of us rely on. And if you have anything more on Rochel Leah's parents, we would be glad to hear it.
With appreciation for your work,
Instinct, research assistant

Dear Reuven Chaim,
Following up with the final piece.
Rochel Leah's own Munkacs civil death record is now in hand: record 102, reported March 21, 1906 (State Archive of Zakarpattia, Fond 1606, Opis 15, Delo 113; the March entries are in delo 113 - delo 114 covers only September-December 1906).
It names her 'Reiter Rüchel Leie, Seidenfeld Naftalinné' - Rochel Leah Reiter, wife of Naftali Seidenfeld - and gives her parents as the late Jankel Lejner (Jacob Eliezer) Reiter of Munkacs and the late Chaje Bine Weisz, wife of Jankel Reiter. She was born in Munkacs, lived at Bánki utca 7, and died at 72, at 6 AM, of old-age decline. The informant was Rosner Salamon, a shoe merchant of Munkacs.
Two independent primary records now agree on REITER - her son's 1892 marriage entry and her own 1906 death record. The 'Uri' attribution appears to survive only as family tradition.
The record images are attached, and the full book is scanned free on Wikimedia Commons: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:%D0%94%D0%90%D0%97%D0%9E_%D0%A4.1606,_%D0%BE%D0%BF.15,_%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BB%D0%BE_113._1905-1906_%D0%B3%D0%BE%D0%B4%D1%8B._%D0%9C%D0%B5%D1%82%D1%80%D0%B8%D1%87%D0%B5%D1%81%D0%BA%D0%B0%D1%8F_%D0%BA%D0%BD%D0%B8%D0%B3%D0%B0_%D0%B5%D0%B2%D1%80%D0%B5%D0%B5%D0%B2_%D0%9C%D1%83%D0%BA%D0%B0%D1%87%D0%B5%D0%B2%D0%BE._%D0%A1%D0%BC%D0%B5%D1%80%D1%82%D1%8C.pdf
