NAME: jessica EMAIL: tripleletterscore@hotmail.com CITY: middletown STATE: NJ COUNTRY: US SITE RATING: Excellent REFERRED BY: Search I WISH TO BE CONTACTED REGARDING: Does anyone have any information about the KANNER family. My grandfather Samuel Kanner came to the US at the turn of the century. He said that he was descended from a long line of rabbis. My grandfather was born in TARNOW now in Poland. There is also a mention of the family in Encyclopedia ofGalician sages. Hopes this rings a bell somewhere. Thanks Date: Tue May 14, 2002 12:13:10 AM NAME: Naomi Fatouros (nee FELDMNAN) EMAIL: NFatouros@aol.com CITY: Bloomington STATE: IN COUNTRY: US SITE RATING: Excellent REFERRED BY: Search I HAVE THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION: My paternal grandmother Esther FELDMAN, nee SCHUTZ, was an orphan when she was married in Szczerzec to Nachman FELDMAN of Pinsk. When Nachman arrived in the US in 1898, his destination was an N. RETTIG at 124 Attorney Street on Lower East Side of New York. I have learned from the JRI-PL indexing project and from the EIDB that some of Esther's relatives were RETTIGS and other SCHUTZs from Szczerzec. At the EIDB, I found an "Osias WAHL" who in 1898 had travelled with Markus SCHUTZ on the Obdam. They were respectively 26 and 27 years old and upholstering was said to be their trade. The destination of both youths was Chaim L. SCHUTZ at 55 Cannon Street on the Lower East Side of NYC. Osias WAHL said he was a brother-in-law, presumably of Markus. I WISH TO BE CONTACTED REGARDING: I would like information about Osias WAHL whose first name was a version of "Yehoshua," and any information about Szczerzec, which is now called "Shcherets" and is very near L'viv (formerly Lemberg). Szczerzec was populated by Mennonites as well as by Jews, but I have found out little else about this town MY OWN YICHUS (GENEALOGY): Researching: BELKOWSKY and BIELKOWSKY, Odessa and Berdichev; ROTHSTEIN, Kremenchug; FELDMAN, Pinsk; SCHUTZ, RETTIG, WAHL, Shcherets; LEVY, Mulhouse; SAS or SASS,Podwolochisk; RAPOPORT, Tarnopol, Korostyshev; BEHAM, Salok and Kharkov; WOLPIANSKY, Ostryna.

Date: 3/30/2002 10:49:05 PM EMAIL: slanda01@cwpost.liu.edu B''H, Greetings, I am a second generation American Landau trying to trace my roots. I've had problems because my father, now 81, remembers very little about his parents, and nothing about his grandparents. I'm the granddaughter of Samuel Landau who came to America in the late 19th century from Austria/Poland. According to my father, Samuel became an atheist after the death of his wife, and never told my father what our lineage was, whether we are Cohen, Levi, or Yisrael. Is there any way to find this out, if I'm indeed related to The Gaon Rabbi Yechezkel Landau of Prague? Sincerely, Sarah Landau.

If this is the case than the connection with the Hurwitz line is in doubt. I believe that this is mentioned in Gedulat Shaul (about The king for a Night). I do not have the time now to look for it. I suggest you check with Dr. Rosenstein. He is just amazing and just might have the correct answer. I will appreciate a reply. Also, you wrote that the wife of Pinchas Halevi Hurwitz was the sister of the RAMAH. Correct, you can add that she is also the great grandaughter of Yehiel Luria. Her grandmother's sister is the one who married Yitzhak Katzenellenbogen. MY OWN YICHUS (GENEALOGY): I am a descendant of Shlomo Herschel Berliner, the g.grandson of the Chacham Zvi. He was also the great gransson of Saul Lowenstam (Son of Heschel of Cracow). We have a lot in common. I have at least 5 or 6 different connections to the Trevesh/Rashi line etc. I am also a descendant of Yohanan Kremnitzer who in turn is connected to the Kalisher and to the Yaffe lines and possibly to the maharl of Prague. Also, the wife of Saul Lowenstam (son of Heschel) was a descendant of the sister of the Maharal. The wife of the Chacham Zvi is a descendant of the Walerstein/Heller Kopel families and also of the Katzenelenbogen/Treviesh lines. Also connected to my family are descendants of at least two daughters of the MAHARSHAL (Shlomo Luria). COMMENTS: I really enjoy your site. I just started checking it.

MY OWN YICHUS (GENEALOGY): We are cohanim, my great-grandfather's name was Sh'muel Landau. I believe he was from Liepzig.

Date: Sun Nov 11, 2001 05:41:42 PM NAME: Jim Broz EMAIL: jsbroz@fuse.com CITY: Cincinnati STATE: OH COUNTRY: US I WISH TO BE CONTACTED REGARDING: Can you please help me find a site that i can research my possible Jewish family background. Thank you James Broz. Date: 10/27/2001 4:03:29 PM EMAIL: syringa@sympatico.ca I HAVE THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION: I believe there may be a connection with the Noda B'Yehuda to my husband's family and am writing to see if you may be able to shed any light on this. First, his great great grandmother was Mirl Amkraut from Rzeszow, now in Poland. I recently received a letter from and a man by the name of Amkraut who informed me that the family was related to the Noda B'Yehuda and the Maharal of Prague. The family was said to have come from Lissa in Posen and to have changed its name to Amkraut when it had to leave Lissa for a reason we do not know. The name Amkraut can be found in the area around Krakow, including Krakow itself and other towns like Rzeszow and Lancut. COMMENTS: Your web page has shown me the connection with Lissa through the wife of Schmuel Landau, Hindsche Helman and the wife of his grandson, Malke Baile Rappaport. I WISH TO BE CONTACTED REGARDING: The gentleman who wrote to me told me 50 years ago he saw a small book which his uncle had that told the family story. He does not know where this book is. If we cannot find it, I am hoping that somehow we might be able to deduce the family connection if we knew more about the Landau family in Lissa. There are names which one can see in the Amkraut family which keep appearing, such as Feiwel (Feivusch Helman) and Mirel Sara which may be related to the family of the Maharal of Prague. Hinde is also a recurring name in the family. There may be another connection that I am just guessing at. Do you know of any family connection with the family Kramer (Efroim and Hinde Kramer and daughter Malke (born 1840)) of Sanok or the Feuersteins of Drohobycz? The name Hinde recurs in this family and also the name Elyakim David. I have very little information about Sanok, since this is a connection i have just discovered. I would be grateful for any help you can give.
