Yonatan Ben-Ari
Reading some more sources I just came across that R' Aharon of
Lechowitz's family name was YAFE. Can someone confirm this and does this help to identify who of his daughters married a Yoseph ben Yisrael of Ostrov (my ancestor). TIA Yoni Ben-Ari, Jerusalem

Yonatan Ben-Ari
My great great grandfather's brother married a daughter of Aharon and
Pearl of Lechowich. I haven't found the first name of the daughter. My ancestor's first name was David and his brother's name was Yosef ben Yisrael of Ostrov. I am not sure of there family name but a cousin of mine believes it was ROSENBAUM (or variant spelling). Does anyone have knowledge as to the family name of the above Yosef 's family name?

Rabbinic Genealogy SIG #Rabbinic RE: Reading sequential pages in Gvurot He'ari
#rabbinic
Stephen Denker
A respondent in Jerusalem replied: "There are two sections on each
page of Gvurot He'ari. The main text (in the second edition it is in Hebrew block type, not Rashi), is larger and covers the basic Epstein family tree. The lower text (and also Rashi script in the second edition) is smaller and consists of numbered footnotes, referring to the numbers (i.e. Hebrew numbers represented by letters) marked in the main text, and giving more details about the individuals mentioned in the main text. Some of the more lengthy footnotes run over in the the next page or several pages." I have a reprint of the first edition. Famous in his generation, our teacher the pious exile Avraham ben Meir HaLevy Epstein, Av Beit Din [head judge of the community Jewish court] in the holy kehillah of Brisk in Lita [Lithuania] descendant of the great Gaon, Rabbi of all the Diaspora famous in his generation -- our Teacher Rabbi Nathan HaLevy Epstein (who is mentioned many times in the responsa of Maharam Mintz), one of the sons of the Gaon Aharon HaLevy >from Barcelona (known as the Ra'ah) [putative Benveniste ancestor of HaLevy Epsteins], author of Sefer HaChinuch and Sefer Bedek HaBayit (43), the son of Yosef ben Benveniste ben Zerachiah (known as the Baal Ha-Maor), the son of Yitzchok ben Zerachiah. Stephen Denker Brookline, MA Searching HaLevy Epsteins -- From: spdenker@... Sent: Monday, September 25, 2017 5:32:53 AM I am interested in the Epstein genealogy published in Gvurot He'ari by Efrayim Mordechai Epstein in 1888. He documented Epstein ancestry back to the mid-17th Century. According to the gentleman who translated the ViewMate Rashi Hebrew text on pages 23-24, the material on each page has three *entirely* separate sections -- one in large type, one in medium type and one in small type *and* to understand the text one must read the *same* size font text sections of each sequential page. Is he correct? Why is this custom used?

Re: Aranyosapati records?
#hungary
Vivian Kahn
Kopocsapati and Bacsaranyos are not included in the JewishGen Town Finder because they were too small. The JewishGen Town Finder includes information for about 6,000 Jewish communities that had a substantial Jewish population before World War I. AranyosapÃ¥ti and Revaranyos are not listed because they didnâ??t exist in the 19th century. Aranyosapati is included in the JewishGen Gazetteer, which is a much larger database that includes the current place names of smaller places. In 1877, KopócsapÃ¥ti was in the Tisza district of Szabolcs megye and had a jewish population of 95, Bacsaranyos was in the same district and had a Jewish population of about 100.

Romania SIG #Romania Seeking Frieda-Riva (surname unknown...)
#romania
Melody Amsel-Arieli <nomietai@...>
When his mother--Sussa Lea Polak Zazulia-- died in 1893, my
grandfather Hersch (Harry Sally) was four years old. Evidently, his father, Gavriel, did not re-marry (she had been his third wife). Instead, according to family lore, a neighboring woman named Frieda-Riva (last name unknown) then raised him. Since my Hebrew name is Frieda-Riva, I am seeking details about her life. I believe that she lived in Novoselitsa-- though it might have been Klishkivitz. I am hoping against hope that one of you has "met" her somewhere along the way. She likely lived between 1850 and 1920. I appreciate all comments, insights, discoveries....
