Hi,
I am looking for more information (descendants, ancestors, and any other info) on Shemuel Yonah (a Levite) and Sarah (no last names listed) (my great great grandparents) who were born in Jerusalem circa 1850.
I found them in the 1875 Montefiore census - Kolel - Samit-Courland; there were 3 children listed: Ester, Rivka (my great grandmother) and Avraham.
I am pretty sure that Ester died, unmarried, in 1890 and is buried on Mount of Olives and I have found her grave. On her grave the last name is Segal (סגל).
My Great Grandmother, Rivka, married Aryeh Leb Solomon (who was born in Vawkavysk, Belarus - he came to Israel either alone or previously married - I do not know) around 1889 and they lived in Jerusalem. They had several children and then Aryeh ran into problems with the locals and his father-in-law convinced him to leave and go the the US (C 1896-1897). Aryeh supposedly fought (or at least enlisted in the US Army) in the Spanish American War and thus gained his US citizenship. He returned to Jerusalem sometime after (1899-1900) Again, the locals remembered Aryeh and threatened him. His father-in-law told him to take his wife and kids to the US since he is now a citizen. They emigrated to the US in 1902. Once in the US, I was able to find many documents which listed Rivka's maiden name as Levi (Levy) and on one as Segal.
Any help in finding more information on Shemuel Yonah and Sarah and their families (besides what I know about Rivka), (ie. did the have any other children? ; What happened to Abraham ?; Who their ancestors were? ; Where are they buried?) would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance for reading this and any suggestions.

Hi Haim,
It doesn't look like we're related...my father was born in London, his father was a kosher butcher from somewhere in Russia. The name was Feldman, which my father, for some reason changed to Fieldman when he emigrated from England to Canada.
My mother was from Toronto and her parents were originally from somewhere in Poland.
That's about all I know. Best of luck in your search.
hello avi,
There are 100,000 names on my site. Unfortunately, when I checked your name and the name of your great-grandfather, I found no connection between us.This is a little strange, because when you have such a large pool of relatives, I usually find information, even if it's distant relatives, but I have not found any family ties with you, I'm sorry
If you want I can give you a name of investigating families who do it for free
best regard
haim
