A new SANDAL branch
30 July 2010 - 11:02:13am
Exciting news on the Sandal family... An exciting and surprising email by my new cousin Joshua, lead to having our two Sandal families linked together. His ancestor Jankel SANDAL was a brother to my 2nd Great-Grandfather Nisen SANDAL. Jankel\'s daughter Fraydla Ruchla SANDAL married Jonah Leybus LATOVITZKI and several of their descendants are now registered as part of the big SANDAL tree.
On other fronts, many more records were added and updated, in particular to the Slizak-Rybak branch, thanks to the amazing help I received from my Israeli cousin Miryam.

A new ZAUBERMAN-ZYLBERKRANTZ branch
30 July 2010 - 11:01:14am
180 new names have been added since the last update, most notably an entire new Zylberkrantz-Zauberman branch provided by my new cousin Jamie. Berko ZOUBERMAN (b:1856) was a great-grandson to my 4th Great-Grandfather Zyskind ZYLBERKRANTZ (~1791-1869). His family tree spans over 11 children.
Finally, I obtained conclusive documentation clarifying the surname of my 2nd-Great Grandmother Matla SZULSZTEIN (b:1842). She was the grandmother of my Grandfather Israel SLIZAK (1902-1980).
Are we confused yet?

Uncle Max and the Rybak/Slizak connection
24 December 2007 - 4:01:02pm
After many years of hoping to solve the riddle of Max SPOSEEP (b:1876, d:1937), I finally managed to link this name to my Sposob family tree. Max (Menachem Mendel) - an elder brother to my great-grandfather Moshe Sposob- emigrated to the States leaving family behind. With help of several new family members I managed to put together his timeline and tree of descendants.
I also added many new names to the Slizak/Rybak family, descendants of my Great-Grandaunt Gitel Tova RYBAK nee SLIZAK. Gitel was sister to my Great-Grandfather Jankel Peltiel SLIZAK. My grandfather Israel used to say \"we are the last Slizak in the world\". I am glad to prove him wrong. Despite the tragedy of the Shoah, the Slizak family are very much out there.
In total, 180 names have been added to the database since September.

Feldmans back to the 1765\'s in Miedzyrzec Podlaski
2 September 2007 - 3:44:43pm
With the new documents received from the LDS, I can now trace back several generations of Feldmans living in Miedzyrzec, back to my 5th Great Grandfather (!) Melech FELDMAN with an estimated year of birth of 1765! My updated ancestry line:
- Hersko Slizak (b:1930, d:2007)
- Sonia (Schendla) Feldman (b:1904, d:1994)
- Jankel Feldman (b:1876, d: abt 1943)
- Pesach Feldman (b:1848, d:1914)
- Israel Elimelech (Srol) Feldman (b: abt 1825, d:1888)
- Zelig Feldman (b:1791, d:1861)
- Melech Feldman (b: est 1765)
Some new branches were added to Zelig FELDMAN, Kiwa SZTEIN and Chaim Mordko WOLFSOHN\'s families. It\'s striking to see the very high death rate in children, showing the very difficult condition our ancestors lived in the early XIX century in Eastern Europe.
Finally, I am in the process to create an online album of photos and documents related to my genealogy. Still work in progress, but it can be visited here. Cousins, if you have anything to contribute to the photo album, please send it along!
