Dear Randy
We have corresponded several times earlier. You are the manager of the entries in Geni, listing the ancestors and descendants of Hofjude Zacharias Fraenkel (Fränkel). A basic error which appears in most of the entries regarding the progenitor of the Fraenkel-Halevi clan, Jekob-Koppel Halevi Fraenkel, is that he had three sons. ERROR, he had 2 sons and 7 daughters (from three marriages). R’ Hagai-Henoch (Chanoch in Hebrew) was not a son, but a son-in-law, husband of the progenitors oldest daughter, Vittoria. I assume that you can read German, so please, if you have time (and interest) read my book that appeared in German in 2011 (see attachement):
Isak Netan’e Gath, Der Hexenmeister von Schwabach: Der Prozess gegen den Ansbachischen Landesrabbiner Hirsch Fränkel Gebundene Ausgabe – 1. Juni 201 von Historischer Verein für Mittelfranken (Herausgeber). An elarged and revised Hebrew edition came out in 2014 (see attachment).
With best regards
Isak
