doctor Moshe Mintz from Gedera

I visited the museum of Gedera (Israel). http://www.gedera-m.org/history.htm
There I made a photo of Mintz family tree. The tree relate to Samuel-Yehuda
Katsenelennbogen, a son of Hanna Mintz and Meir Katsenelenbogen.
Then the tree shows Samuel-Yehuda descendant (or son) Yitshak Katsenelenbogen.
Then (in Russia) Zeev-Wolf Mintz and Abush Aharon Mintz.
The biography (in hebrew) and photos of Moshe Mintz and his family can be found on museum site.
Possibly, somebody have information about this branch?

this is a photo of Shmuel Mintz (a father of Moshe Mintz) and his sons

Interesting - thanks Nina.

On Geni:

Zeev Wolf Pastecher of Meseritz Mintz is a Katzenellenbogen descendant and has a son Abush Aaron Mintz

There is also a Shmuel on Geni with four sons including Moshe and two daughters.

There are private profiles here so I can't see if/how they relate to the earlier Mintz. There are other Shmuel and Moshe Mintz profiles on Geni too.

Nina, That is a beautiful photo of R' Shmuel Mintz and his family, I hope we can locate the family.

The sites below might help your research.
Note that the Mintz family name can be spelled in various forms -:

Myntz, Mintz, Muntz, Mintc, Minz, Minc

See Minc Family Tree.
ie. (Wulek) Wolf  Zev Muntz. Born: Abt. 1808.  Dayan in Mlawa.

Here the biography of doctor Mintz (short translation)
He was born in Lithuania in 1860 and learned veterinaria in Moscow and in Kharkov. He joined the Kharkov Bilu group and came Israel with the first Bilu group. Some period he lived in Istanbul and in spring 1883 moved to Palestine. In 3.1884 he was expelled from Palestine. He settled in ne. He lived in USA, continued his Zionist activity, learned medicine, exchanged letters with 5 his brothers, lived in Gedera and other jewish leaders.
In 1924 he returned Gedera as a doctor for children....
Doctor Minz lived in Gedera 6 years. He visited USA after his wife's death, and died there in 1930.
There is nothing about his father Samuel Mintz except of the info, that he has 15 children.

There are 8 generations between Samuel Yehuda Katsenelenbogen-Mintz
and Moshe Mintz. Moshe Mintz was born in 1860 and Samuel-Yehuda - in 1521
The average distance between generations about 50 years. It shows, that there must be some gaps in the tree. The average time shall be about 30 years.

The tree from Gedera museum also contain a brother of rabbi Eliezer Halevi-Mintz
Yitshak Halevi and Yitshak's son Moshe Mintz. The period of XV Century in Italy

I checked Neil Rosenstein's The Unbroken Thread

On page 181:

G9.1 matches Isaac of Meseritz Mintz

G10 matches his son Zeev Wolf Pastecher of Meseritz Mintz

G11.1 matches his son Abush Aaron Mintz

Page 183:

G12.6 matches his son Menachem Nachum Mintz

I am not sure where the trail goes from there, or even whether this is the right line.

Nina: how did you calculate eight generations?

so, 8 generations between born in 1521 and born in 1860

As David Prins pointed out, the progenitor of the Minz family is Isaac of Meseritz Mintz as noted by the genealogist, Dr. Neil Rosenstein in his book "Unbroken Chain".
Isaac of Meseritz Mintz

To help you to explore the family branches for yourself I have uploaded
the Minz family Chapter 3 Volume 1 Pages 181 - 185 from "The Unbroken Chain", Dr. Rosenstein's book.

it looks like the tree of G12.6 Menachem Nachum Mintz older brother Alexander Suskind Minz
what do you think?

Rabbi Aron Mintz (Geni) died in 1831, so if G9.Alexander Suskind Minz was his
first son - he, possibly, was born in about 1800?
G13.(13)Moses (1860-1930) Moses was born in 1860 and he was the 13 child of Samuel Mintz
If so, the first Samuel child (Dora) should born before 1850. Here we have
about 60 years for
10.Mejer Mendel Minz (1790?)
11.Avraham Hirsch Mint (1810?)
12.Samuel Mintz (<1830)
13.(1) Dora (<1850)
We have about 20 years between generations in 18xx. It can be possible, but few in the "standards" of 17xx-18xx.
Another problem of this identification - the tree from Gedera contains known
names, but Meir Wahl Katzenellenbogen (1 day King) not mentioned. Looks a bit strange.
Meir Wahl Katzenellenbogen and Abraham Katzenellenbogen (of Lvov) both lived on the territory of Russia, but the tree shows the row Russia after Yisaak Katzenellenbogen. Is it possible, that Yitshak was a brother of Meir Wahl and Abraham?

Rabbi Yitshak Katzenellenbogen, a father of Meir Katzenellenbogen died in 1530 in Prague. So, there can be several boys, named Yitshak in his children families.
Rabbi Samuel Yehuda Katzenellenbogen-Mintz (1521-1597), could have a son, named after his granddad. And this son could move Russia together with his brothers.
He could be businesman and not rabbi. If so, he could be not mentioned in "megilat Yahasin"
