On the SCHOR Family site that I mentioned in my last post (Re:
Meshullam Feibush HELLER's Wife)

http://www.geocities.com/heartland/trail/8095/legend.html

there is mention of a person >from a line of MEISELS rabbis, ending
with R'Eliyahu of Lvov:

Avraham SHOR (b appx 1590) whose wife was the daughter of
R'Gershon B"R Avraham B"R Eliyahu (aka Eliyahu m'Lvov, aka
Eliyahu Oringal) MYZLISH. He is mentioned with honor in
the records of the small synagogue of Lvov; he died and is
buried in Lvov.

Does anyone have any other information about these rabbis and where
they fit into my MEISELS tree? The only Eliyahu that I currently
have married Yehudit WASSER-TRILLING, and is the father of Mojzesz,
the father of Eliacz Chaim (1821-1912), the grandfather of Rabbi
Eliezer Yitzchak (b 1882), the father of Mina. I also don't have any
additional information on this branch if anyone knows the pedigree
of this branch as well.

Thanks for the help,

Dear ScanSIG members,

With the new year comes new information--my searches have
lead me to my 5x great grandparents

Abraham HEYMANN / HEIMANN
b. in Altona, d. 27 June 1835

and

Bella HEYMANN / HEIMANN nee LEVY
b. in Fredericia and d. 20 Nov 1873 in Rudk=F8bing.

Both are buried in the Jewish Cemetery in Assens.

Their daughter is Gitte HEIMANN.

I'm looking for any information that could lead me to finding Bella's
(LEVY) parents and birth information or more information about the
Jewish settlement in Fredericia Denmark. I'm also looking for any
information the could help me find Abraham in Altona. Their daughter
Gitte was born in Middelfart, Odense, Denmark so they may have been
married in this area. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Dear Friends,
I should like you to know about this success story:
About a week ago I posted a notice on this site, searching for the above two
brothers.

One of the responses I received was >from Renee Stern Steinig, Dix Hills

Connecticut. I just spoke on the telephone to one of them. It turned out
that they are father & son. He is the Alan EBSTEIN I was looking for. We
had a long talk, and we were both absolutely thrilled to have found each
other! Very many thanks to Renee!
