The Book of Destiny, Toledot Charlap

We are collaborating on bringing to Geni the years of work of Arthur Menton, scholar and author of the monumental two-volume historical and genealogical study The Book of Destiny, Toledot Charlap - תולדות חרלפ and Ancilla to Toledot Charlap. A copy of Volume 1, containing the Charlap narrative, can be purchased by contacting nmenton@gmail.com/The-Book-Destiny-Toledot-Charlap/dp/0965444104/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1379009676&sr=8-1&keywords=toledot+charlap "Amazon.com"].

We are breaking down our work roughly along the following lines, although there is enormous overlap among our areas of interest.

• Adam Brown = Lew, Lewin, Charlap
• David Harris = Lewin, Borszteyn
• Evan Wolfson = Lew, Lewin
• Jaim Harlow = ibn Yachya
• Nina Golod = Donchin
• Andrew Charlap = Charlap
• Matthew Ravick = Mankuta
• Doron Samuell = Charlap
• Bruce Zatz, Revie Budovitch Walman = Budovitch
• Irit Halachmi = Pakciarz
• Marcus Shapiro = Lappin
• Bill Lake = Lapin
• Robert Tachna = Tachna [http://www.tachna.com]
• Paul Darmory = Lapin Family of Volkovysk How can you participate?

(1) Add your branches to the tree. This is a 100% shared collaboration and the tree belongs to all of us. However, please do not duplicate existing entries.

(2) Upload photographs and documents to the tree. Primary materials are the lifeblood of any historical endeavor and yours are just as valuable as any other.

(3) Invite family members to tree. The more the merrier and maybe you will uncover someone with a latent talent for historical research; and

(4) If you have the last name of Charlap or one of its derivatives, please participate in our new Y Chromosome DNA study of the Charlap family as a means of sorting out the recent branches of the tree. We actively encourage family members to participate by contacting family member Adam Brown.

We would be delighted to have additional collaborators join us. This is a huge project with over 20,000 individuals on over 400 family trees!

--------------------------

Professor Arthur Menton's "The Book of Destiny, Toledot Charlap" traces the genealogy and history of the Charlap and other families descended from the Davidic House.

The two chapters linked below describe the sequence of the generations of the

• Davidic Royal house through
  
• The kings of Yehudah (Judea),
  
• The Rashei Galut (Exilarchs)
  
• The migration of the descendants of the Exilarchs to Spain and Portugal.
  

Menton presents the many sources for the origin of the Charlap and Don/Ibn Yechia family as well as touching on the families Abarbanel, Dayan and Shealtiel.
