I have identified my g/grandfather Simon Reische, who on more than one
occasion appears as 'Simon Lishe' in census or death certificates. Consequently, I'm searching both Lishe and Reische. I've also identified Simon's father Abraham Max or Mordechai, with no surname, and his mother as Sarah Knee or Knie. Family Search has linked them with the 1892 marriage of a woman named Chaye Rechel Lev Lishe, to a man named Mayer Gurfein. The image appears on Viewmate 95116 at https://www.jewishgen.org/viewmate/full.asp?ID=95116&loc=A&name=95116ChayeRechelLishe%2Ejpg <https://www.jewishgen.org/viewmate/full.asp?ID=95116&loc=A&name=95116ChayeRechelLishe%2Ejpg>. Chaye came from Rzeszow Voivodeship, which is the general area of origination for my family. Her father is identified as Abraham Marios Lishe, the Marios possibly being a mistranscription. A quick Ancestry and Family Search check doesn't reveal anything further on her, and the name is completely unknown to me. I have two questions in logical order: 1. How does the Family Search algorithm operate? Does it suggest linkage as a possibility or a likelihood? If its only a possibility and not a likelihood, I can treat this as a coincidence, since the name 'Lishe' appears not infrequently in Dembica and surrounding areas. 2. If its based on likelihood, then do other members recognize her? Can someone suggest an Anglicization of her given names? Thanks for any suggestions you can provide. I'm guessing its a coincidence but don't know enough about how Family Search operates to feel comfortable in concluding it. Alan Reische, Manchester NH a.reische@... Membership No. 28114
