The first question above is a reminder of the frequent surprises that we grandparents, Fischl F and Toni Mirl Taube F . must try to anticipate, including the marriages of our male ancestors into Although I found support for Sam Fisch's version, about their older years, and the children born of these marriages. R. Jakov URI being a son-in-law of the Dynover Rebbe in the book "The Langsam-Spira Family", there is only one 1986 child of the couple Rivka SPIRA and R.

My mother-in-law couldn't tell me very the way: The chart presented by Sam Fisch showed Fischl much. Her parents had been first cousins, born in Galicia in FISCH as a great-great-grandchild of the Dynover Rebbe the last decade of 19th century, lived in Berlin for about 25 (and not “great-grandchild“ as described in the obituary). years and made it to Switzerland just in time (1938). I thought I might find something about their past in the 1996 Swiss Jewish press and checked the issues around their In 1996 I started to check the sources for Jewish genealogy death dates. There I found an obituary for my wife’s on the Internet and discovered Moishe Miller’s impressive grandfather Fischl FISCH who died in 1956, which started websites about the Langsam/Miller/Spira/Ekstein (translated from German): "The deceased was a great- Genealogy.

Alan Miller claimed that a daughter of dynasties. I didn’t find any "FISCH-branch" among Zvi Elimelech's nor any hint as to how to connect my wife’s Zvi Elimelech SPIRA, called Sara, was married to a man family with the Dynover Rebbe. called Moshe; their daughter Lea was married to R.

Society for Jewish Genealogy, Suzan Wynne (who is Now I was puzzled: So who was really married to R. Jakov descendant of Chaim Leib LANGSAM, a brother of the Dynover Rebbe) sent me the book "The Langsam-Spira URI; the daughter of Zvi Elimelech SPIRA or the daughter Family", which she had just published that year. This book of Moshe who was married to the daughter of Zvi is about the parents of the Dynover Rebbe and their Elimelech SPIRA? descendants. The charts in the book show that a daughter The Schoenfeld connection of Zvi Elimelech, Rivka, was married to Jakov URI, but I studied my previous sources, and realized that indeed, there only one son, Avraham Jehoshua Heshel, is Zvi Elimelech SPIRA seems to have had a daughter called mentioned. Furthermore it is said that Rivka died during Sara, married to a Moshe (Schonfeld). In February 1997, I her father's lifetime, e.g. before 1841.

That means that he was first married to a "Langsam" (which means "slow" in German) wasn’t appropriate for a rabbi, and so changed his name to that of other noted rabbis! - 7 - THE GALITZIANER Vol. 5, No. 3 Spring (April) 1998 daughter and then to a grand-daughter of the Dynover grandmother’s mother's name (Jitte Lea), only that Jitte Rebbe. Leja was not a daughter, but a granddaughter of the Dynover Rebbe. The confusion was probably because, as Although Sam Fisch seemed to be very sure about the already mentioned, Jakov URI married first a daughter and relationship he described between himself and the Dynover 4 then a granddaughter of Zvi Elimelech SPIRA. Rebbe, I wanted to find another source for his version. Also, at that point of my research, I realized that So I come to the conclusion that my wife's grandparents theoretically it was possible that Chava URI was not the (who were first cousins, both grandchildren of Chawa daughter of the first wife of R. Jakov URI, but of the FISCH-URI) were great-great-great-grandchildren of the second wife, which would fit a little bit better with the Dynower Rebbe (not great-grandchildren) and for my own dates I had so far: If the mother of Chava URI was Rivka children, I had to add three additional "greats" to their now SPIRA, who is supposed to have died "during the lifetime of known 6-times great-grandparents! her father", which means before 1841, then Chava URI It seems that finally all the mysteries are solved and I thank must have been born before 1841. This would mean that everybody who helped me and provided me with the she was at least 45 years old when she had her youngest information I needed to get that far. child, David (born 1886). —————————————— 4 Telegram from 1932 leads to key information By the way: Zvi Elimelech SPIRA and Rav Pinchas Arjeh URI (the father of R. Jakov URI) were both students of the "Chose miLublin", and when I always hoped that I could prove things with the help of Zvi Elimelech SPIRA served as Rabbi in Dynow, R. Pinchas Arjeh URI official documents, but I didn’t know where and how to get was Av Bejt Din in the same village. one. I knew that Chawa FISCH was still alive in 1923, because Sam Fisch had told me that he had visited her in Poland that year. But I didn't know when she died and I didn't know when she was born. Suddenly, around Rosh CEREMONY IN RZESZOW IN JUNE Hashana 1997, I received a letter from Sam Fisch, enclosing a telegram of October 7th, 1932, which informed his father about the death of Chawa Fisch. I decided to try The Rzeszow Landsmanschaft in Israel plans to hold a ceremony on June 30 in Rzeszow, Poland to unveil a to get the death certificate of Chawa FISCH. With the help of sample letters and an address published by Suzan memorial tablet on the “Old” Synagogue, near the site of Wynne in "The Galitzianer", I wrote a letter in Polish the forced gathering of the Reyshe (Yiddish name) ghetto requesting the certificate and sent it to Poland.

The information implies that Chawa FISCH-URI was born 3 in 1850. Rav Jakob URI died in Turka in 1855 , so this fits well. His first wife, Rivka (daughter of the Dynover Rebber) is said to have died before her father, e.g. before 1841,so by 1850 he may well have been married to "Itta Leja". Finally, this all fits well with the information I had received from Sam FISCH, who actually did remember his

Carpathian Mts; Beskide Mts. [...] Rabbi Jakov URI of Turka died of cholera. This is the story as told by my father. There was a cholera epidemic in Turka and Rabbi URI went with the Beadle to the cemetery on Friday and measured a grave out for himself. He died on Shabat and was buried Moza'ej Schabat. He was the last victim of the epidemic and is buried in an 'Ohel' [tent] where people left 'quitlech' [notes with requests]. My grand mother Chava requested to be buried in the same cemetery. Uncle Yisrael arranged for her body to be brought from Sanok to Turka." This fits well with the information I found in the "Pinkas Kehilot Yisrael, Polin Bet, Galizia HaMisrachit", page 255. R.
