Gittel Eberlis (Rapaport) - Is there evidence for her father?

As Wachstein points out, there was no Rabbi Aryeh Lieb HaKohen Rapoport in Prague. This is an old mistake. Can we delete the father or is there any proof?

I would love to see what Wachstein wrote about him , and why he thinks it is a mistake.

Rabbi Aryeh Lieb HaKohen of Prague,Mentioned in rabbinical literature, including by Dr. Wonder (section 507), as I attached in the profile picture of:

Rabbi Yechiel HaKohen Rapa, of Venice

Unfortunately, the book is not currently open to everyone, so I cannot see what is written in the section, but if anyone here has a subscription, he/ they can read

Whether this is a mistake that was copied into many books, I have no idea, we need to continue to investigate

OK to delete ...

I see two difference versions for the paternal line. one Gittel was the daughter of Moshe Landau
Gittel Jekels

and another profile, Gittel is the daughter of Rabbi Aryeh Leib HaKohen Rapaport, ABD Prague
Gittel Eberlis (Rapaport)

Both profiles she is married to Yaakov Eberlish

which is the correct one?
