Menachem Mendel Efrati of Kalvarija

Son of Rabbi Abraham Efrati of Meretz, 1767 - 1860. So Menachem may have been born in circa 1790. Menachem lived in Kalvarija, Lithuania. Menachem's son Eliezer lived in Siauliai and was a literary scholar.

It appears that Eliezer ben Menachem ben Abraham had a son in Siauliai (Shaval) named Abraham, who in turn had a son named Eliezer.

The descent would be:

1. Abraham Efrati of Meretz (Merkine) 1767
2. Menachem Efrati of Kalvarija circa 1790
3. Eliezer (Leyzer) Efrati of Siauliai circa 1815
4. Abraham Efrati of Siauliai circa 1840
5. Eliezer Efrati of Siauliai circa 1860

The Efrati family names are not listed in records as Prozner. Efrati or Ephrati or HaEphrati.
