Greetings everyone.from Melbourne Australia!
I would like to tidy up the connection of Rabbi Jonathan Eybeszyc to his ancestor Rabbi Nathan Nata Shapira, Megale Amukot please. I always thought there were only 3 or 4 generations between them as suggested in the Jewish Encyclopaedia http://www.jewishencyclopedia.com/articles/5945-eybeschutz-jonathan
The connection as listed on Geni cannot be correct:-
Jonathan Eybeszyc born 1690 (this is a fact)
Nathan Nata Shapira born around 1660
Asher Zelig Eibeshitz born 1640
Israel Moses Joseph Ashkenazi born 1625
Nathan Nata Shapira 1605 (this is impossible, His supposed grandfather was born 1585)
Yitzchak Shapira born 1624 (this is a fact)
Nathan Nata Shapira born 1585 (this is a fact)
There are too many generations.
Are there any sources for the middle few names?
Links to the profiles mentioned
* Rabbi Nathan Nata Gordon, ABD Eibenschutz, Moravia
* R' Asher Zelig Gordon of Cracow
* Israel Moses Joseph Ashkenazi
* Nathan Nata Shapira
* Shapira
* Rabbi Nosson Notta Shpiro, The Megaleh Amukos
Private User suggested the alternate pathway is more accurate.
this is also listed on geni:
Rabbi Jonathan Eibeschütz born 1690
Rabbi Nathan Nata Gordon, ABD Eibenschutz, Moravia born c. 1660
Mrs. Asher Zelig Yeshaya of Hildesheim Eibeshitz,
Chava Dovrosh Freida Ashkenazi born c. 1620
Rabbi Nosson Notta Shpiro, The Megaleh Amukos born 1585
dear raphael, my long-lost wife's fourth cousin's husband's first cousin once removed's husband's first cousin twice removed,
thank you very much
so this sefer agrees in essence with the alternate pathway,
rabbi jonathan eybeszyc
rabbi nosson nuta of eybeszyc
the wife of yitzchak zelig of krakow
(dovrush) the wife of rabbi yeshaya of hildesheim
rabbi nathan nata shapira, megaleh amukos
best wishes

hello raphael,
Do you happen to have any information about this profile? ( someone wrote that these were incorrect parent names)?
