Rabbi Joseph ha-Cohen Kahana-Heller, of Kalisz

There is a mistake here. There is no evidence that Rabbi Joseph HaCohen Kahana-Heller (Kahane) of Kalush was the father of Kalonymos Kálmán Kahana. Please provide evidence for this. D Kahan

And a daughter.

“…the author of Ketzot Hachoshen and his brother the author of Hakuntrus, and all of the descendents of Yosef Mordechai Hakohen and his son Feivish, and after them Meir, Yosef Mordechai, Yehuda and Chaim Leib were all strong misnagdim by their nature and education; the descendents of these people founded a new Hassidic dynasty that was centered in the small town of Spinka. They changed their name from Hakohen to Kahane, a name that remains to this day. The Admor of Spinka who lives in Bnei Brak and also the Kahane family of Kfar Haroeh and Nechalim, as well as others – are all descendents of sharp misnagdim from eastern Galicia, who originated in Kalusz. From one of them, Rabbi Chaim Kahane of Nechalim, I received a great deal of information on his family, the family of Rabbi Yehuda Hakohen of holy blessed memory. Rabbi Chaim Kahane told me that his ancestor Rabbi Mordechai Yosef the son of Rabbi Yehuda Hakohen “went sour” towards the end of his days and became of staunch Hassid of the righteous Admor Rabbi Menachem Mendel Hager of Kosow, may his merit protect us. He left his rabbinical seat and traveled to Kosow to dwell under the shadow of the protection of that Tzadik. He died there on the 2nd of Adar 5584. His son set up an “ohel”over his grave. “ (Source: http://www.jewishgen.org/Yizkor/Rozniatow/roz021.html from Yehuda Har Zohar Zauberberg)
