According to Neil's ( author of The Unbroken Chain) to me with my family descendants chart...Reb Elimelek Kamenetsky (Eisenstadt) had sons: Kivel Kamenetsky aka Reb Elijah Akiva Kamenetsky, Lazar, Meer, Abraham, Pinkus. All of this can also be proven through the revision lists of Lida. I am a descendent of both Elijah Akiva and Pinkus. I am also a descendent of Mordechai. His daughter Genia married Elijah Akiva.How are you related to me?
According to family information, I am a descendent of Mordedchai of Lida, through the daughter of his son Moshe. I was trying to see whether I could compare some of the information to The Unbroken Chain, and noticed what I thought were discrepencies.
Are you aware of any other information about the descendents of Mordechai of Lida that I might be able to use? Thanks.
I am sorry but I only know my line however in my tree it is very clear that they kept marrying within the family. My great grandfather was the first to not marry a relative. He brought the whole tree with him to the US in the late 1800's. Look around for family names like Eisenstadt and perhaps Gordon. Best of luck. Marjory
I stumbled upon this discussion in the course of some research on Lida. I wonder if there is a reason why the pedigree of the spouse of Elijah Akiva named Genia bat Mordechai according to the post of 12/4/2016 isn't included on this tree. Is this still considered a valid pedigree for Genia? Also it seems there is an error with Genia's birth year of 1897: that is her death year, no?.
Thanks.
Adam, thanks for your reply. As you can see, I posted that question a while back.
The family tree in Rav Chaim of Volozhin's profile shows Rav Mordechai, but that part of the tree stops there. I was wondering if anyone had information further down. I could not get any support from the relative of a relative who shows the connection to my grandmother in that relative's My Heritage tree.
Joel, Please see the new discussion about this tree under R' Shlomo Zalmen: Rav Shlomo Zalman Sender Kahana Shapira
C Thanks for the work. Is there a reason why some offspring are showing up as Private? For example, offspring of Yossel Kamenetsky? I think it may be necessary to edit the profile and make it a deceased and Public profile.
