On 2005.07.17, Irina Kunina <irina_kunina@earthlink.net> enquired:
My family claims that we are related to the family of Rabbi Shlomo ben Adret (RaSHBA) >from Barcelona. We also know that Adret family moved >from Spain to Smirna (Turkey). Then they moved >from Smirna to Israel in the 19th or 20th century and lived there in 1936. Can anyone help us locate this rabbinical family in Israel?
The Hebrew biographical dictionary, "Yahaduth Hamizrach B'Eretz Yisroel" by M.D.Gaon (Publ. Jerusalem 1938) has on p.701 brief details and references to a few 18th & 19th Century members of this family.
Incidentally, I always thought the family name was pronounced Aderet, not Adret.
